Holloway by Robert Macfarlane
Nothing has a greater impact on how you look (and feel) than the size and shape of your nose. But is a nose job right for you? What do you need to know before deciding to have rhinoplasty surgery? Dr. Edwin Williams, internationally recognized and respected Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon, answers your most frequently asked questions about rhinoplasty with the skill and intelligence of an accomplished surgeon and the compassion and understanding gained in twenty-one years of successful practice. Dr. Williams has helped thousands of patients decide whether or not this procedure is for them. Dr. Williams has mastered this complicated yet common procedure, performing over thirty-five hundred such surgeries in his medical career. In this guide, Dr. Williams addresses your every concern about rhinoplasty, including: Which rhinoplasty procedure is right for me? Is there more than one way to fix my nose? Will it hurt? How much will it cost? When can I get back to work and working out? Dr. Williams not only answers these questions, but anticipates and answers others, sharing his expertise, knowledge, and vast experience in clear and accessible language for those considering rhinoplasty.
Anyone who has grown increasingly impressed by Macfarlane's nature writing over the past decade will feel instantly at home in this slight collaboration with writer Dan Richards and illustrator Stanley Donwood.. With Donwood's ghostly, Hansel and Gretel-esque illustrations peppering the prose, Holloway is undeniably a gorgeous package. Even though it takes less than half an hour to read, the subtle call to revel in the wonder of the natural world lasts much longer. -- Ben East Observer An impressionistic piece of landscape writing, Holloway evokes the sense that time is densely layered in these secret lanes; many people have trodden here, and their ghosts are still apparent in the deep tree-shaded paths. -- Carl Wilkinson Financial Times The pleasures herein are almost intangible and they're certainly initially fleeting. Yet these pellucid tales of Dorset's deep-set lanes and their duvets of foliage will stay with you long into the summer dusk and may even encourage you to embark on your own investigation of England's ancient arteries. -- Paul Connolly Metro This beautifully produced book is part tribute to the late Roger Deakin, part trafelogue, and bearing in mind the Faber imprint, part poetic evocation of the 'Holloways' of south Dorset, infused with Macfarlane's sensitivity to nature and beautifully illustrated by Stanley Donwood. -- Michael Conaghan Belfast Telegraph
