Chosen to reflect the urban context, Worship in the City’s rich collection of prayers and songs shows that in its diversity and creativity, the city can offer an environment that is good for the soul. -- Nancy Elizabeth Hardy

Among Elizabeth Hardy's enchanting collection you are sure to find some of your cat's spells - but not all - a cat has to have some secrets The spells in this book are drawn from the rich feline magical tradition that holds such great historical importance within our culture. They include spells for manipulating human behaviour, dominating troublesome fellow cats, and exiling even the most challenging vermin. The essence of witchcraft is epitomized in a single image: a bent old woman cackling as she stirs a cauldron, faithfully attended by her obedient black cat. However, this myth was created by insecure humans... In fact, a cat is a magical creature in her own right, with the power to easily bewitch most humans

"The editorial team, and invited experts in the field, have drawn on a mass of archival and scholarly material, including Gunnis's own extensive unpublished archive, to rewrite all the major lives of the sculptors, and to add over 1,000 new ones. Each entry gives a brief biography of the sculptor, where possible, followed by a list of his or her known works. Each work is identified by date and location, past or present, and provenance, materials, exhibitions, known preparatory sketches and models, and bibliographical references are also recorded." "The dictionary is a treasure trove of information for sculpture, architectural and art historians. It will also be of great interest to enthusiasts and collectors, and to those with a general interest in British cultural history who wish to identify or locate works of sculpture in Britain and to learn more about the artists who created them."--BOOK JACKET.
