Flora Isabel MacDonald – politician, humanitarian, adventurer, and role model for a generation of women – was known across Canada and beyond simply as Flora. In her memoir, co-authored by award-winning journalist and author Geoffrey Stevens, she tells her personal story for the very first time.Flora! describes her amazing journey from her childhood and her time at secretarial school in Cape Breton, through her years in backroom Progressive Conservative politics, to elected office and her appointment as Canada’s first female minister of foreign affairs. Finally, she details her exceptional humanitarian work in India and in war-torn Africa and Afghanistan. Flora was driven by a lifelong conviction that there is nothing a woman cannot achieve in a world controlled by men, and she pursued this conviction in everything she did, carving a path for women in Parliament. She won international acclaim for bringing 60,000 Vietnamese refugees to Canada, and for engineering the rescue of six American hostages in Tehran in a top-secret collaboration with the CIA known as the Canadian Caper. She exposed the inhumane treatment of inmates at Kingston’s Prison for Women. She defied male chauvinists in the Progressive Conservative party by running for its leadership, and she introduced the Employment Equity Act to guarantee women equal access to federal jobs.Flora was brave. She was relentless. She was controversial. She was a force of nature. In her own words and drawing from interviews with those who knew her, Flora! grants us insight into this exceptional woman who changed the course of history.

Flowers have long been a source of inspiration for jewelers, many of whom have sought to capture their transient beauty in glittering gemstones and precious metals. In the 17th and 18th centuries, flowers were imitated in enamel or used as motifs for elaborate gemstone bodice ornaments. Brooches, pendants and rings took the form of bouquets or flower baskets. The stylized blooms of the Empire style were followed by the highly naturalistic blossoms of the later 19th century. Flowers continued to flourish in the sinuous shapes of Art Nouveau, the geometric designs of Art Deco and the sculptural simplicity of modernism, with great artists including René Lalique and Georges Fouquet constantly reworking nature’s forms for their style-conscious clientele. Now, contemporary designers such as Claude Lalanne, Lorenz Bäumer and JAR continue to create floral jewelry for today’s trendsetters. The floral pieces in this book have all been selected from the magnificent jewelry collection of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, and range from the 17th century to the present day. Beautifully photographed by renowned photographer Jean-Marie del Moral, these intricate works of art will delight all lovers of jewelry and nature.

A lifetime retrospective of the paintings of Janet Alling, this collection includes both watercolors and oils and features her main interest, the process of painting from direct observation of plants in natural light.Alling's paintings are a development and progression of formal visual ideas, color exploration, light, composition, scale, and the phenomena of the natural world. Using close observation and magnified forms, she worked on a large-scale.Her first one-woman show at 55 Mercer in 1972 was enthusiastically reviewed by Peter Schjeldahl, in the Sunday New York Times, Roberta Smith in Art News, and others who identified Alling as a painter to watch among the generation of realist painters working in large scale perception of reality: Alex Katz, Philip Pearlstein and Jane Freilicher.

Flora: An Innocent Child? is a chilling horror-thriller that blurs the lines between the sacred and the profane, the innocent and the damned. A nun is drawn into a nightmarish journey of death, possession, and buried truths that claw their way to the surface. At the centre of the darkness is a man-a father whose identity has been meticulously erased from all records, his existence wrapped in secrecy and dread. Uncovering his past means unravelling a legacy soaked in occult rituals, sacrilegious pacts, and a bloodline touched by something not entirely human.Allies may be enemies in disguise. And with every step, the veil between this world and the next begins to tear.Who - or what - is Flora? What unspeakable truth lies at the heart of her existence? In a world where nothing is as it seems and no one can be trusted, survival depends on uncovering the truth before it's too late.As the final ritual looms, only one question remains: will she be the one to end the darkness-or will it claim her, body and soul?Some truths should never be known... and some innocents are anything but.

Flora offers proof that plants speak a language which can be translated through art. Piet Mondrian’s chrysanthemums, Faith Ringgold's sunflowers, Georgia O'Keefe's black iris, Salvador Dalí's narcissus, Yayoi Kusama's pumpkin …these are just a few of the many exemplary pairings that can offer a unique interpretation of a plant’s essence. Beautifully designed and visually captivating, Flora is arranged thematically by the trees, flowers, fruit, vegetables, spices, grasses, grains, and vines which have served as a root for artistic inquiry across time. Brief, informative profiles of each plant are woven together with key works of art, mythology, and other ancient and contemporary sources, bringing each plant into more focus through its interpretations across time. Readers wishing to find information about specific plants can consult a detailed plant index, or they can read the book cover to cover, luxuriating over each page, providing a space to turn whenever we need a reminder of the connection between our natural world and the creative spirit. Botanists will deepen their understanding of plants through the lens of artistic expression, and artists will find much to learn about their natural subjects, bringing a new context to an ever-enduring love of plants.
