Avec sa large tête et sa carapace robuste brun-rouge, la tortue caouanne est l’une des plus grandes tortues marines. Présente dans de nombreux océans, elle peut parcourir des milliers de kilomètres au cours de sa vie. Fait étonnant : la tortue caouanne revient presque toujours sur la plage où elle est née pour pondre ses œufs, parfois après plusieurs décennies d’absence. Principalement carnivore, elle se nourrit de crabes, de mollusques et de méduses, qu’elle broie grâce à sa puissante mâchoire. Menacée par la pollution plastique et la destruction de ses zones de nidification, elle est aujourd’hui une espèce protégée à l’échelle mondiale. Cette figurine Papo restitue avec fidélité la tortue caouanne : carapace détaillée, nageoires puissantes et silhouette réaliste. Un modèle idéal pour enrichir une collection d’animaux marins, inventer des histoires au fil des océans ou sensibiliser les enfants à la protection des espèces menacées.

Named a Best Book of 2022 by the American Society of Landscape Architects Beatrix Farrand: Private Gardens, Public Landscapes presents the life and work of one of the foremost landscape designers of the early 1900s. Born into a prominent New York family (she was the niece of Edith Wharton), Farrand eschewed the traditional social life of the Gilded Age to pursue her passion for landscape and plants. Many of her clients were members of the highest echelon of society with estates in Newport, the Berkshires, and Maine, but Farrand ultimately became a consultant for university campuses, including Yale and Princeton, and for public gardens, including the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden and the Rose Garden at The New York Botanical Garden. Perhaps her best-known work is the extensive garden at Dumbarton Oaks, originally a private residence and now a research institute of Harvard University. Deeply influenced by the English landscape designer Gertrude Jekyll, Farrand was known for broad expanses of lawn with deep swaths of borders planted in a subtle palette of foliage and flowers. Her gardens have been photographed at their peak especially for this book, and these lush illustrations are complemented by beautiful watercolor wash renderings of her designs, now preserved at the library of the University of California at Berkeley.

Sir John Vanbrugh was one of Britain’s greatest architects and the designer of some of the most important and best beloved English country houses, including Castle Howard and Blenheim Palace. This beautifully illustrated biography draws on close study of Vanbrugh's letters to bring to life his ideas, beliefs, friendships and buildings, as well as providing insight into his professional practice and working relationships. Vanbrugh was, by the standards of architects of the time, a worldly figure, friend and ally of the great, with a strong sense of the imaginative characteristics of architecture, its power of evocation, and the emotional impact of a building’s massing, particularly when compared to the more disciplined and scholarly work of his contemporaries Sir Christopher Wren and Nicholas Hawksmoor. Charles Saumarez Smith paints a fascinating portrait of a man whose architecture was shaped by his personality. The book also explores Vanbrugh's activities as a playwright and theatre manager, his circle of friends, his place in 18th-century society, and, in a final section, his influence on later architects from Robert Adam to Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown.
