Those who live in small houses and tiny apartments will welcome this treasury of ideas for using limited space elegantly and efficiently. The suggestions are ingenious and stylish, from commercially available solutions, such as folding chairs and tables, roll-away storage bins, and under-the-bed chests of drawers, to inexpensive built-ins, such as fold-away kitchen work surfaces, mini sleeping lofts, and under-the-stairs shelving. Along with ways to create more physical space, there are fascinating ideas for creating the illusion of space, making small areas look larger with the use of color, reflection, light, and trompe l’oeil effects. Small can be beautiful. It can also be convenient and livable, with the ideas and inspiration in this handsomely illustrated guide.

Spaces of Longing and Belonging offers the reader theoretical and interpretative studies of spatiality centered on a variety of literary and cultural contexts. It brings new and complementary insights to bear on creative uses of spatiality in artistic texts and generally into the field of spatiality as a cultural phenomenon, especially, although not exclusively, in terms of literary space. Ranging over questions of aesthetics, politics, sociohistorical concerns, issues of postcoloniality, transculturality, ecology and features of interpersonal spaces, among others, the essays provide a considerable collection of innovative pieces of scholarship on important questions relating to literary spatiality generally, as well as detailed analyses of particular works and authors. The volume includes ground-breaking theoretical investigations of crucial dimensions of spatiality in a context of increased global awareness.

This authoritative and original work sets the results of recent archaeological research in the context of classical scholarship, as it explores three main aspects of Romano-British buildings: * general characteristics of form and structure * the ways in which they were built and decorated * the range of activities for which they were designed. This evidence is then used to discuss the social practices and domestic arrangements that characterised Romano-British elite society. Fully illustrated, this volume is the essential guide to how houses were built, used and understood in Roman Britain.
