Böcker av William Grant

"To page through its contents is to tumble down a rabbit hole of carved gemstones, cloud shapes, and gleaming colored aluminum (with a gorgeous mad genius of flame-red hair as your guide)."  -  JCK Online "The Sheibani monograph deftly weaves together Sheibani's personal life and her jewelry, exploring ways in which one feeds the other."  -  The Magazine Antiques Cora Sheibani's jewels are the product of a highly active imagination. Her creations are designed to surprise and delight - miniature cakes and jellies that look good enough to eat; rings and bracelets that glow in the dark; shimmering clouds with diamond raindrops; jewels that stare back at you, and plant pots billowing with vegetation. Her design handwriting is predicated on a bold sense of form and colour, allied with a playful, contradictory mindset. Her design philosophy is to make jewellery she herself wants to wear and in doing so, she trusts that her customers in turn will appreciate and value her personal aesthetic. Cora Sheibani - Jewels is published to mark the 20th anniversary of Cora Sheibani's eponymous brand.

Written by a member of the last generation of British Colonial Service Officers in Africa, the book seeks to place both colonial rulers and their African successors in the context of history and the circumstances of their time, viewing their achievements and failures critically but not unsympathetically and comparing colonial society with that of the independent African country that Northern Rhodesia has become.

Originally published in 1921, this book was intended for non-Scottish students of Scottish literature as a guide for recitation and declamation of Scottish pieces.
