Lists of Note curates 125 unputdownable entries from a list of names that are as eclectic and intriguing as its contents, which include myriad reasons given by ancient Egyptians for missing work, Albert Einstein's demands of his estranged wife, F. Scott Fitzgerald's extensive conjugation of "to cocktail," and many more. Rarely intended for the public eye, these lists reveal hopes, priorities, and musings in a most engaging and entertaining way. Each transcript is accompanied by an artwork, most a captivating facsimile of the list itself. Richly visual and irresistibly readable, Lists of Note is a testament to the human urge to bring order to, poke fun at, and find meaning in the world around us—and is a gift of endless enjoyment and lasting value.

From the author of the New York Times bestseller Letters of Note comes a collection of 75 of history's most interesting, profound, and sometimes unknown speeches from a range of scintillating personalities such as Frederick Douglass, Justin Trudeau, Albert Einstein, Meghan Markle, Barbara Jordan, and Ursula K. Le Guin. This thoughtfully curated and richly illustrated collection celebrates oratory old and new, highlighting speeches we know and admire, while also shining a light on profound drafts that were never delivered or have until now been forgotten. From George Bernard Shaw's warm and rousing toast to Albert Einstein in 1930 and the commencement address affectionately given to graduates at Long Island University by Kermit the Frog, to the chilling public announcement (that was thankfully never made) by President Richard Nixon should Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin become stranded on the moon, Speeches of Note honors the words and ideas of some of history’s most provocative and inspiring personages.

Modern Eclectic will appeal to all those who love modern design but don't wish to live in the clinical environments often dictated by architects. Take a lead from interior designer Orianna Fielding Banks, whose own living room combines generous velvet sofas with silvery window screens made from CDs, bright modern wall finishes, and an antique chandelier, creating a thoroughly unique home. Beyond minimalism there is a more ornamental approach to modern interiors. The yearning for individualism is satisfied by combining interesting antiques or design classics with today's furniture, by being inventive with unusual textures and colors, and by commissioning custom-made pieces as focal points. Orianna gives pertinent advice on how to put an eclectic look together successfully and create a professional interior designed look in your own home. Over 250 glorious, inspirational photographs, specially shot in both Europe and North America for this book, reveal some of the best eclectic interiors, and the informative text provides you with the design guidelines you need to create your own inimitable version of the eclectic look.
