Book Description
Heraldry can be traced back to the dawn of history, before writing, when pictorial representations were used to identify individuals, families & tribes. Early on, heraldry took its place as an integral part of warfare. By the Middle Ages, it had blossomed into a complex system of fabulous colored images emblazoned upon the shields, helmets & surcoats of lords & knights. Here, in one compact volume, is a concise guide to the intricate language & colorful symbolism of heraldry. The evolution of emblems is explained along with shapes, colours, how they combine & what they mean. 100s of b/w illustrations.

Book Description
A sensuous, heartbreaking novel about art, beauty and the choices we make that define us for life, from the author of the Giller Prize finalist Summer Gone A young man travels to Paris in 1968, where a series of unlikely events take him to a tiny village in Italyâe"and the one great love of his life. A marble merchant meets a couple on their honeymoon, introducing them to the sensual beauty of Carrara. An Italian woman arrives in Canada to find the father she never knew. A terrible accident in a marble quarry changes the course of a young boyâe(tm)s life and, ultimately, sets in motion each of these stories, which Macfarlane masterfully shapes into a magnificent whole. Oliver Hughson falls in love with wild, bohemian Anna over the course of one glorious summer in Italy. Bound by a sense of responsibility to his adoptive parents back home in Canada, however, he leaves her, an act he will regret for the rest of his life. Narrated by the daughter he never knew he had, The Figures of Beauty is a love story of mythic proportions. Through luck, fate and great good fortune, Oliver found the one place and the one woman he should never have left. This is the story of him trying to find his way back.
