The bridal bouquet a is tradition in almost every culture on Earth. Year after year, millions of women walk down the aisle, each carrying a personalized blend of carefully selected, artfully assembled flowers. To ensure that one's bridal bouquet lives forever in the memories of all those who share the day, this exquisite book introduces more than 40 original bouquets to complement the wedding gown, celebrate a special theme, honor a treasured family custom -- and keep shaky hands occupied. Gorgeous photography showcases each season's variety and diversity of flowers in creations from the simple to the elaborate: daisies with ivy for the August bride; a midsummer bundle of fragrant herbs; mistletoe and roses for a Christmas Eve wedding; hydrangeas with glass beads and tiny seashells for a beach ceremony; an Asian fan with amaranthus and chrysanthemum for an autumn reception. With detailed directions for choosing and grooming the flowers and leaves, wiring and taping, using ribbons and making handles, Bouquets enables every bride-to-be, mother, sister, and friend to re-create these designs -- or inspire the florist to fashion the perfect handful of flowers for that special day.

 | Sixteen Satires by Peter Green
The Satires of Juvenal capture the splendor, squalor, and sheer vibrant energy of everyday Roman life better than any other work. A member of the traditional landowning class that was rapidly seeing power slip into the hands of dynamic outsiders, Juvenal offers savage portraits of decadent aristocrats, women interested only in rough trade like actors and gladiators, and the pretentious sons of pimps and auctioneers. With an eye to the stern forebears of Rome's past, Juvenal puts into exquisite relief the degradation of his infamous times. For this third edition, Peter Green's celebrated translation has been substantially revised to bring it still closer to the tone and structure of Juvenal's Latin and to take into account important scholarship of the past quarter-century. The Introduction, Notes, and Bibliography have all been updated and expanded. AUTHOR: Peter Green
