Fire places seem evoke some kind of hidden memories out of our distant path when the fire at the mouth of the cave kept the tigers away. This has become so important that even apartments now seem to come with fire places. This book, as is usual with this publisher is a beautifully illustrated, beautifully printed collection of fire places that range from a simple rock lined fire pit out in the yard to fire places that are the design center of the house, wood stoves that meet the new EPA regulations, to antiques that may have come from grandmothers house. Besides the beautiful photography, this book also includes design tips, and the regulations that come from building codes. And there are discussions of more types of fire places than you could ever imagine without seeing it. I got this book because my house does not have a fire place, and it's the next major extension that I plan to add. This book answered all the questions that I had, except...

I wanted ideas on different fireplaces and this book did a great job. I do not think any fireplaces were left out. This is a nice book to dream through.

I was excited to find this book but once it arrived I was a bit disappointed in it. It has tons of photos of a variety of fireplaces, inside and out, exaplins the different types well but I was looking for more information on unique fireplaces, ones which could be placed in the center of a room. So if you're wanting a more traditional fireplace setting, this book might be great.

Sanctuary at Massey: Ignatieff just one in a long line to find a home in ...

Feb 04, 7268 |

“I like this because you can see the enemy coming,” Mr. Fraser says.

Mr. Ignatieff, who has suffered the slings and arrows of political fortune for five years, and whom the Canadian public ignomiously rejected last week — leaving his party in tatters and his reputation wanting repair — will doubtless appreciate this window as he takes up his new post here, Senior Resident, on Canada Day.

Canada may not want Mr. Ignatieff, but Mr. Fraser and Massey College most certainly do; the master fairly crowed this week as he talked about the coup of landing the former Liberal leader, who, whatever else you say about him, has proved his mettle at some of the world’s top schools.

It seems fitting that, when Mr. Ignatieff found himself all alone in the political wilderness on May 3, he received an offer to find shelter at Massey. This is, after all, the same fortress to which Bob Rae, the former premier of Ontario, Preston Manning, founder of the Canadian Alliance, Read more »

Questions & Answers

Can I burn old books in my fireplace?

Nov 14, 2006 by .El Distortion.

I have 20 year old text books that no one would want. Rather than throw them away I thught I might burn them. Will it be safe or have any adverse effect on my flue?

Just to counter some of the above comments: if it's a poor condition, 20-year old out of date textbook, then your library really doesn't want it. When I worked in a library several years ago, probably half of the trash we threw away was useless old books that people had "donated" and that we couldn't do anything with because they were outdated and in poor condition. If it's a book that you can't imagine anyone wanting, then your library would probably agree with you.

As to your actual question: I wouldn't recommend it. Books aren't designed to be burned, and some of the chemicals in the ink, paper, or glue may be unhealthy if burned or leave excessive ash or residue in your chimney.

What is the name of a surreal painting involving a redhead girl with invisible clothes, burning books and ice?

Jan 10, 2007 by Christine G

The redhead is sitting in the center of a room with two open books, one featuring a drawing of a statue's head with leaves as hair, resembling the girl. A large version of this statue head is in the hallway to the left with a window looking out on an urban setting with half its face blocked by a fireplace. Fire has escaped and are buring books next to the two the girl is reading. The hallway to the right is being flooded with water from an ocean carrying a large ship in the distance. On the right side of the painting is a bookcase covering the wall, containing many books, three of which have visible titles ("Decameron", "Symboles" and "L'Habit De Cheval"). On the left another version of the girl is standing with her hands behind her back looking in the direction of ice in the form of very small mountains turning into rocks (in the room), with water flowing into the room and a large balloon carrying plants in the distance. On the exteme left, inside the room is a large bare tree.

I don't know for sure, but it should be Salvador Dali.
However I quickly scanned his paintings and did not find any that corresponds to your description.
