Named a Best Gift Book of the Year by InStyle, Real Simple, Better Homes & Gardens, and the Wall Street Journal “If coffee tables could make . . . wish lists, [this book] would certainly be on them.” —Better Homes & GardensA singular, personal celebration of the beauty and possibilities of nature Amy Merrick is a rare and special kind of artist who uses flowers to help us see the familiar in a completely new way. Her gift is to revel in the unexpected—like a sunny spring arrangement housed in a paper coffee cup—and to overturn preconceptions, whether she’s transforming a bouquet of supermarket carnations into a breathtaking centerpiece or elevating wild and weedy blooms foraged from city sidewalks. She uses the beauty that is waiting to be discovered all around us—in leaves, branches, seedpods, a fallen blossom—to tell a story of time and place. Merrick begins On Flowers with a primer containing all her hard-won secrets on the art of flower arranging, from selecting materials to mastering pleasing proportions. Then she brings readers along on her journey, with observations on flowers in New York City and at her family’s summer home in rural New Hampshire, working on a flower farm off the coast of Washington State, and studying ikebana in a jewel-box flower shop in Kyoto. We learn how to send flowers like a florist, and how to arrange them like a farm girl. We discover the poignancy in humble wildflowers, and also celebrate the luxury of fragrant blousy blooms. Collected here is an anthology of floral inspiration, a love letter to nature by an exceptional, accidental florist.

Law firms are undergoing structural change at a pace not previously seen in the profession. Artificial intelligence (AI) tools are reshaping research, drafting, and knowledge work; clients are demanding increasing levels of efficiency, transparency, and innovation; and alternative legal service providers and the Big Four continue to expand, offering clients an ever-widening array of options and restricting law firms’ slice of the market. As AI becomes increasingly embedded in legal operations and practice, legal professionals and support teams find their roles evolving, moving beyond pure practice support into a more strategic function.As profitability pressures intensify in response to technological innovation, law firms are hiring beyond the traditional associate–partner track. Roles that barely existed five years ago – such as legal engineer, head of AI, legal data scientist, or client solutions architect – are now central to firm strategy, directly impacting profitability, operational efficiency, and competitive differentiation. However, this wave of innovation has brought uncertainty and risk, and many firms stand at the precipice of an AI-enabled transformation, convinced that these newly formed roles and technologies are critical to future success but unsure of how they should be operationalized to create increased value, efficiency, and productivity. Currently, there is no comprehensive, practical guide to aid firms in navigating this unchartered territory.Rising Roles in Law: Designing the AI-Enabled, Data-Driven Law Firm fills that gap, delving into the people and roles driving transformation and mapping the workforce architecture of the AI-enabled firm. In a first-of-its-kind guide to the AI-enabled law firm workforce, law firm leaders, innovation professionals, and technologists will explore what these newly formed roles involve, how they interact, how firms should structure them, and what this means for leadership and career pathways. With emphasis on practical insight, case studies and implementation guidance, Rising Roles in Law will equip readers with the data-driven insights and actionable strategies needed to embrace AI's potential and harness its power to shape the future of legal operations.
