Summary

Sky Shapes unveils the mysteries of our sky, explaining the science behind everyday phenomena like blue skies, colorful sunsets, and the phases of the moon. It explores atmospheric science, cloud formations, and lunar cycles to deepen our understanding of Earth's environment and our place in the cosmos. For example, the book explains how the scattering of sunlight, known as Rayleigh scattering, causes the sky to appear blue during the day. It also explains how cloud formations influence weather patterns and reflect our planet's changing climate. This book systematically progresses from basic atmospheric science and stellar characteristics to the science of light and color, cloud formation, and lunar mechanics.

 
One unique aspect of Sky Shapes is its emphasis on practical observation, offering guidance on identifying clouds, stars, and constellations. By connecting celestial observations with established scientific research, the book bridges the gap between scientific understanding and everyday experiences, fostering a sense of wonder and encouraging readers to explore the sky with newfound knowledge.

    Train travel is having a renaissance. Grand old routes that had been canceled, or were moldering in neglect, have been refurbished as destinations in themselves. The Rocky Mountaineer, the Orient Express, and the Trans-Siberian Railroad run again in all their glory. 
		 
Pamela Mulloy has always loved train travel. Whether returning to the Maritimes every year with her daughter on the Ocean, or taking her family across Europe to Poland, trains have been a linchpin of her life. As COVID locked us down, Mulloy began an imaginary journey that recalled the trips she has taken, as well as those of others. Whether it was Mary Wollstonecraft traveling alone to Sweden in the late 1700s, or the incident that had Charles Dickens forever fearful of trains, or the famous actress Sarah Bernhardt trapped in her carriage in a midwestern blizzard in the 1890s, or Sir John A. Macdonald’s wife daring to cross the Rockies tied to the cowcatcher at the front of the train, the stories explore the odd mix of adventure and contemplation that travel permits. 
		 
Thoughtful, observant, and fun, Off the Tracks is the perfect blend of research and personal experience that, like a good train ride, will whisk you into another world.

    Incorporating vivid hues, a palette of intriguing textures, and a scholarly understanding of exquisite objects, art, and furnishings, his work transcends period and milieu. His aesthetic spans the globe and the decades, from 18th-century English and European antiques to vintage French Modernism and the work of the finest international contemporary artisans. His projects, tailored and layered, are reminiscent of the stylish past, but always utterly up to date. With unfailing attention to scale, he is unafraid to wield a jolt of glamour or inject the unexpected, but never forgets that a room must ultimately reflect the genuine inner life of those who inhabit it.
