AVANT GARDENERS
AVANT GARDNERS 50 Visionaries of the Contemporary Landscape‘… this is the most important book of the year for me, thoughtful (Richardson always is), beautifully produced and taking its readers into much unfamiliar territory – The Independent With over 100 projects, this book is an encyclopaedic look at the cutting edge in garden design and offers an inspirational archive for practitioners and enthusiasts. Contemporary garden design has embraced the latest thinking in science and materials, architecture and product design – redefining the border between nature and the man-made.

This book begins with a largely photographic overview of Sri Lankaâs natural features, showing the varied palette of landscapes that inspired Bawaâs sensitive treatment of architecture.

MINBAR OF SALADIN
This is the remarkable story of one of the masterpieces of Islamic art. Made in the middle of the 12th century, this wooden pulpit, perhaps the finest ever seen, stood in the al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem for some eight hundred years until it was burned down in 1969 by a tourist claiming to be acting on orders from God. Its loss to the Muslim world was immense and so the decision was taken by the mosque's guardians, the Jordanian royal family to rebuild it. Nobody, however, could have guessed just how complicated the process would be, nor how long it would take.
