The author lost his wife of 40 years to cancer and his home was surrounded by a rainbow the following day. This inspired this book which tells some amazing stories of how those you have loved and lost stay in touch with you. Thirty other authors have contributed their own stories for this book. There are also dozens of very creative ideas on how to grieve the loss of a loved one, especially a spouse. Lindsay draws many of his ideas from his expertise in creative thinking processes which makes this book very different, very positive, and very uplifting.

Precisely rendered to dazzle the eye with their botanical accuracy, the sumptuous arrays of fruit and flowers by Dutch painter Jan van Huysum (1682-1749) were among the most avidly collected paintings of the 18th century. The arrangements were painstakingly executed over many months and commanded exceptionally high prices from collectors throughout Europe. This delightful little book explores two of Van Huysum's most important still-life paintings, "Vase of Flowers" and "Fruit Piece", showing how his inimitable technique resulted in an illusion that continues to captivate us today. The book's sumptuous plates reveal the artist's highly nuanced palette, and his exuberant, asymmetrical arrangements reflect emerging rococo rhythms.
