A guide to creating panoramic pictures using everything from simple 35mm and APS cameras, through to more specialized medium- and large-format cameras, right up to the 360-degree digital panoramas created using stitching programmes.

Small villages steeped in charm and majestic mansions surrounded by lush lawns. The moody, mysterious Yorkshire moors and Cornwall's coast, dotted with colorful flowers. From the London skyline to ancient Stonehenge, these panoramic photographs capture more of England's natural and manmade beauty than the naked eye can see. The vast and varied views show diverse landscapes, including the sublime glacial valley of Wastwater in Cumbria and the grandly baroque Castle Howard in North Yorkshire. 160 pages (all in color), 11 3/4 x 7 1/2.

Looks at the scenic beauty of the Cotswold Hills, with their rolling hills, quaint villages, stone walls, and medieval churches

THE FARROW AND BALL BOOK OF COLOUR looks at the different types of paint used by the great decorators, and shows how new colours and new colour combinations were gradually added to the house painter's palette through the pioneering work of some of the greatest interior designers. It tells how muted colours gave way to the lighter, brighter palette of the late 18th century, the stronger and more intense shades of the Regency, the rich polychrome of the Victorian period, the unprecedented diversity and eclecticism of the 20th century, and the explosion of interest in historic or traditional colours today. It explains the paint making process, and the effects of the different types, from distemper and limewash to oil and emulsion.
