Bizarre Estate Lives

Casa editrice: Publifye

Sinossi

"Bizarre Estate Lives" offers a fascinating exploration of unconventional aristocratic lifestyles within British historical properties, revealing how isolated communities developed unique social systems and traditions over three centuries.Through extensive research of personal diaries, household ledgers, and previously sealed family archives, the book uncovers surprising deviations from period norms and challenges our conventional understanding of estate life. The work particularly excels in documenting how geographical isolation and generational wealth created distinctive micro-societies with their own solutions to universal challenges.The narrative unfolds across three chronological periods (1750-1850, 1850-1950, and 1950-present), examining intriguing cases like the Northbrook Estate's reversed service hierarchy and Westbury House's pioneering sustainability practices. These accounts demonstrate how estate communities developed unique cultural patterns that often differed dramatically from contemporary societal norms, while maintaining their distinctive characteristics through periods of significant social change.Drawing from architectural records, oral histories, and estate management documents, the book presents a methodically researched yet engaging account of how these ancestral properties functioned as independent social laboratories. The work's interdisciplinary approach, combining architectural history, sociology, and economic theory, provides valuable insights into sustainable community management and cultural heritage preservation, making it relevant for both historical study and modern property management practices.

Dee Tozer

It’s normal for couples to fight – isn’t it? When is a fight just a difference of opinion or a mild disagreement and when does it become an argument which leads to a destructive, hurtful fight? Should we stop the fight before it starts? 
“How Can We Stop Fighting” is all about stopping the nasty accusations and hostility. Couples in thriving affectionate relationships do fight – however they fight in constructive ways which don’t harm their relationship. This book shows you the difference. Fights usually start with a difference of opinion, then escalate to a disagreement which is more animated, then to an argument with greater hostility. An argument typically has three stages of hostile oppositional strength.Hostility at stage one comprises of nasty attacking or defending words with throat tension and a raised voice. In Stage two both partners are yelling at each other, with facial expressions and body language clearly expressing heightened anger and frustration. When Stage two escalates to Stage three one or both partners start screaming nasty accusations at the other, threatening to divorce, using extremely vile language. This book shows you what to do instead..
