      Generally agreed to be one of the most important contributors to Art Nouveau, the Czech artist Alphonse Mucha was trained, celebrated and lived most of his life in Paris. His unforgettably iconic images of Sarah Bernhardt and others embody the spirit of the fin de siècle. But underneath his successful career as an artist and poster designer lay a passionate Slav nationalist whose most important and long neglected works are still being painstakingly restored and exhibited in the Czech republic. This book is the first comprehensive overview of his life and work and is published in association with the Mucha Museum in Prague.

      The inspiring autobiography of one of the greatest musicians of the twentieth century.

      Safe, gentle, and effective-these three words sum up why the study and practice of homeopathy has enjoyed steadily increasing popularity during the last decade. While pharmaceuticals merely suppress symptoms, often with unpleasant side effects, homeopathy works with the body's own defenses, whether alone or combined with more traditional medicines. The Family Health Guide to Homeopathy offers clear, authoritative guidelines for diagnosing and treating over 200 common ailments. Each area of the body is covered in detail with separate sections on first aid, dealing with emergencies, pregnancy, health problems in children, and infectious diseases. Beautifully presented and delightfully illustrated, with a foreword by Sir Yehudi Menuhin, this is an indispensable reference for every family library.

    • Die Geschichte seiner einmaligen Künstlerkarriere ist weithin bekannt: seine frühen musikalischen Schritte und Erfolge, seine Konzerte unter den größten Dirigenten der Zeit, seine Betätigung als Dirigent. Yehudi Menuhin erzählt in seinen Lebenserinnerungen, die bis ins Jahr 1976 reichen, nicht nur davon. Man erfährt ebenso, wie sein Privatleben aussah, von den jugendlichen Träumen, 'der Menschheit Frieden zu bringen', den Illusionen, die Völker durch Musik zu versöhnen, und von der großen Begabung zur Freundschaft.
