Book Description
There are plenty of books on how to look after houseplants but no one has shown us how, when and why these plants came to be found in our homes. In this fascinating book we learn how potted plants are as subject to fashion as pieces of furniture. For the Victorians it was the aspidistra in the front parlor; for us it is the orchid in the designer loft. We find that Wedgwood created a market for special bulb pots and that some of Conran's early designs were for houseplant containers. Then there is the story of mignonette - a modest plant but once prized in every home for its intoxicating scent. Now that scent is lost to us for ever. Catherine Horwood's novel combination of social history, plant history and the history of interior design is intriguing. Her illustrations come from a variety of unusual sources since potted plants may be found in many unexpected corners.

Book Description
La mémoire de feu Ernest Nyáry, O.C.D. mérite le respect avec lequel le livre écit par sa nièce, la comtesse Éva Nyáry lui rend hommage avec beaucoup d’amour. Il était Archevéque latin de Bagdad entre 1972 et 1983, apôtre de tous les Chrétiens à la capitale irakienne, mais il n’a pas limité ses activités pastorales qu’aux fidèles de rite latin, il prenait soin des fidèles des Eglises orientales, surtout des pauvres, des personnes chassées de leur maison et des réfugiés, et non seulement les Chrétiens.
