Woven throughout are her witty observations and expert advice on choosing the best paints and finishes, adding patterns and accessories, building an entire room scheme based on inspiration found in nature, collecting black and white objects, and even choosing the perfect accent colors. 

With more! than 350 gorgeous color photographs, this is a vividly photog! raphed c elebration of a timeless scheme, infused with inspirational tips, glimpses into showstopping homes, and proof that a limited palette is anything but.

The sequel to the critically acclaimed hit Black & White.  

In thisstrategy game, you reprise your role as a powerful deity in search of a following and return to the once idyllic world of Eden, where the discovery of weaponry and warfare has tainted the beautiful landscape.  With the help of your giganticCreature that you raise from infancy, you must earn the respect and worship of the natives.  How you choose to do that,, whether through nurturing them or terrorizing them is up to you.

Once there were many gods - all depending on theworship of humans to survive.  As their following increased, they grew in strength, and as their battle for control intensified, destruction ! became second nature to the people of Eden.  This was chronicled in the past and has since passedinto legend. But after the devastation came peace.  Without hardship, people stopped needing gods and the gods simply disappeared.  And without gods, life continued.

While you've slumbered, the path to evil has become even moreenticing.  Warriors have been born, ever more fearsome weaponry has been developed, and the once idyllic land of Eden is teetering on the brink.  The Greek people - your people - form the final barrier to total Aztec domination. Now a simple,desperate prayer has brought you back and you must follow your conscience once more.  Will you establish secure and majestic environments that will become the envy of peoples across the land or will your cities become evil citadels of aggressionwith the sole purpose of supporting your war machine?  Will you devote all your powers to enriching your people's lives or will you watch as they ma! rch to their deaths?  This time it really matters,

  Will you be an evil or benevolent deity?

  That's the choice you must make upon returning to a warring land in Black & White 2. Like its wildly successful predecessor, Black & White, the sequel is all about moral choices.

  The land, however, has transformed itself. The inhabitants of this breathtaking 3D world have lost their innocence and developed new weapons and technology. As you enter this warring world, will you make tribes coexist peacefully; encouraging villages and towns to grow into sprawling metropolises, or prompt them to inflict their will upon others by, creating and commanding large armies that seek to dominate and conquer?

  Creatures in the game have grown too. They can learn strategies, master new abilities and skills, lead armies into battle and be your ultimate unit. Black & White 2 includes other new elements, such as improved graphics and miracle effects such as ri! vers of fire and earthquakes that yield massive destruction.

  Every choice you make will have an impact. Each action and inactions prompts obvious changes to buildings, flora and fauna, all morphing to reflect your personality.
