Summary

A well-designed  Swedish room, whether an antique-filled country home or a contemporary  industrial loft space, has a calm and feel-good quality that literally  permeates the atmosphere. See how some of the most authentic advocates  of Swedish design are using these ideas in their own homes, places of  pure beauty and simplicity. The fundamental concepts of Swedish design  are in full play at each location featured and are important qualities  to incorporate into a home-those of functionality, quality of materials,  light, preservation, art, eclecticism, color, sense of place and a deep  reverence for nature.

    From comedian and actor Sebastian Maniscalco—star of the film About My Father with Robert DeNiro—an inspiring, honest, uproarious collection of essays tracing his career from playing boxing rings and bowling alleys to reaching the pinnacles of comedy success.At twenty-four, Sebastian Maniscalco arrived in LA with a suitcase and saved up minimum wages. He knew no one and nothing about standup comedy, but he was determined to go for it anyway.Two decades later, he’s on the Forbes’ list of highest earning comedians, selling out arenas, and starring in numerous hit comedy specials including Why Would You Do That? and Is It Me?.Stay Hungry tells the story of the twenty years in between. On the way from clueless rube to standup superstar, Seb was booed off stages; survived on tips and stolen food; got advice from mentors Andrew Dice Clay, Vince Vaughn, Tony Danza, and Jerry Seinfeld; fell in love; and stayed true to his Italian-immigrant roots. The one code that always kept him going: stay hungry, keep focused, never give up, and one day, you’ll make it.

    “Indispensable for any naval historian . . . charts the evolution of warship design and development in the years 1906-1922 in the United Kingdom.”—International Journal of Maritime History   The launch of HMS Dreadnought in 1906 ushered in one of the most rapid periods of warship development in history; and only ten years after this all-big-gun, turbine-powered battleship was completed, two entire fleets of Dreadnoughts would meet at Jutland and put the work of the prewar designers to the ultimate test.   The renowned warship author, D. K. Brown, examines the development of these vessels and looks at how wartime experience affected warship design. As well as battleships and battlecruisers, for the first time the developmental history of smaller vessels such as minesweepers, monitors and escort vessels, built in direct response to wartime needs, is described, as is that of the submarine and aircraft carrier. A detailed study is made of battle damage, including the role played by ammunition explosions in the loss of three British battlecruisers at Jutland. Also described are the postwar capital ship designs, killed off by the Washington Treaty, which are among the most fascinating “might-have-beens” of naval history.   A classic work again available for historians and enthusiasts, detailing the development of all those ships that enabled the Royal Navy to rule the waves supreme and defend country and empire.   “The author has managed to make the technical detail accessible to the layman and consequently it is easy to read as well as being authoritative. Deserves to be on the bookshelf of any nautical enthusiast. Very highly recommended.”—Marine News
