Casa editrice: Batsford

Sinossi

A happy plant makes for a happy home and a happy life; find the right plant for each room.

Indoor plants have never been so important as we realise the power of their presence in making us feel calmer and more connected to nature. But dying plants around the house are negatives you could do without!
This unique guide from an indoor plant expert explains what plants you should keep in each room, and whereabouts. It contains:
• Easy-to-understand but horticulturally accurate information on what affects plants in each room – light, humidity and temperature.
• What typically makes each room different, which plants best suit which room, and how to care for them so that you and the plant are happy. 
• Working with individual microclimates within that room – for example, a plant that might work on a coffee table in the middle of a room might not work on a bookshelf next to a window.
• Invaluable information on how to arrange the plants to make stunning arrangements for your home interior. 
The first half of the book focuses on the five key rooms in any home, with ideas for the reader who wants to green up specific rooms, while the second half is a comprehensive directory of house plants. Each entry has information on light level requirements and tolerance, detailed information on care and colour inspiration for styling the plant. Each plant is also rated by difficulty. 
This is the most practical guide to building an indoor garden, room by room, to ensure happy plants, a happy home and happy humans.

Blade Runner - The Ultimate...

Film Trivia Metaverse

BLADE RUNNER 
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
  
FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY RIDLEY SCOTT 
  
CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
  
ABOUT THE FILM 
Blade Runner is a 1982 science fiction film directed by Ridley Scott, set in a dystopian future Los Angeles. It follows Rick Deckard, a former police officer tasked with hunting down and "retiring" rogue replicants—biologically engineered humans. The replicants, led by Roy Batty, have escaped to Earth seeking longer lifespans. As Deckard pursues them, he grapples with questions about humanity, identity, and morality. The film blends neo-noir, cyberpunk, and philosophical themes, exploring artificial intelligence, empathy, and the boundaries between human and machine. With its atmospheric visuals and haunting score by Vangelis, Blade Runner became a cult classic. 
  
TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
  
"Director Ridley Scott and director of photography Jordan Cronenweth achieved the famous 'shining eyes' effect by using a technique invented by Fritz Lang known as the 'Schüfftan Process.' Light is bounced into the actors' eyes off of a piece of half-mirrored glass mounted at a 45-degree angle to the camera." 
  
"Sir Ridley Scott regards this movie as probably his most personal and complete work." 
  
"According to Rutger Hauer's biography, the final confrontation between Rick Deckard and Roy Batty was initially planned to be a fight in an old gym using martial arts, like kung-fu. Hauer disliked the idea, saying it was 'too Bruce Lee', and proposed Batty chasing Deckard instead."
