Between Luxury and the Everyday: Decorative Arts in Eighteenth-Century France

This exciting new collection of essays by leading scholars redefines the study of the decorative arts in eighteenth-century France. Moving between broader accounts of the impact of Enlightenment philosophy in shaping an understanding of the 'decorative arts' and case studies of silks, furniture and architecture, it illuminates the material worlds of consumers from the extravagance of the court to the more modest tastes of middle-class families. Working with new theories of the body and of space the book offers a new vision of the interior and its centrality to French culture. Alive to the everyday pleasures found in objects, furnishings and dress, this collection links the material world to political and social life and reflects upon change and continuity across the century from Absolutism to Revolution.

Trout Country: Reflections on Rivers, Fly Fishing & Related Addictions by Bob Saile, ISBN 0871089025

After more than 25 years as Outdoor Editor of the Denver Post, Bob Saile has countless opinions and stories to share on the allure and adventure of trout streams and fly fishing. He serves up a compelling collection, with most of the essays set in the West. This is trout country -- the fish, the flies, the people, and the places.

In his essay "Heavy Hitters, " Saile recalls as a boy reading an article by Joe Brooks about catching a brown trout on southwestern Montana's Big Hole River. For Saile, it was as if he was there. He experienced landing the trout as well as feeling a kinship with the writer. You will get the same feeling reading this lively collection which takes the reader from the South Platte to the Gunnison to the Pacific Northwest and the wilds of Alaska.

"The fight carries out into the main current and the brown jumps, in that wild absolutely reckless way that browns have early in the fight, and I see it b a rather modest-size fish, maybe 13 inches. It looks good, though....

Where You Belong by Mary Ann McGuigan, ISBN 0689812507

Sometimes where you belong isn't where you're told to be

October 11, 1963, the Bronx, New York: Fiona, her mother, and her three siblings have just been evicted from their apartment. Their furniture is out on the street, and the only place they can go is to Aunt Maggie's crowded apartment. For thirteen-year-old Fiona, being anywhere else is better than being there. Fiona ends up running, running until she's in a nearby all-black neighborhood -- a place her Irish-American parents speak of with scorn. But this is where Yolanda Baker lives, the only person at school who ever made Fiona feel that she mattered. Can this forbidden place, with this forbidden friendship, be where Fiona really belongs? A powerful story of interracial friendship set against the turbulent backdrop of the civil rights era.
