  Lost Worlds - What Have We Lost...

  A “funny, erudite, and fascinating” miscellany of things lost, large and small—from cultures to candies, species to sports gear—by the acclaimed columnist (A.C. Grayling).   They go. They vanish. People. Civilizations. Languages. Philosophies. Works of art disappear, species are extinguished, books are lost. Dunwich is drowned, Pompeii buried, Athena’s statue gone from the Parthenon, Suetonius’s Lives of the Great Whores gone the way of the Roman Empire. Whole libraries of knowledge, galleries of secrets. Gone. Little things, too. Train compartments. Snuff, galoshes, smog. Your mother’s perfume.   Michael Bywater argues that we are not defined by what we have but by what we have lost along the way. In Lost Worlds, he offers a witty, eclectic, and endlessly fascinating glossary of the missing, a cabinet of absent curiosities, weaving a web of everything we no longer have.

  A delicious way to hack your DNA and prevent early aging. 
   
  In 2009, a team of scientists won the Nobel Prize for uncovering how telomeres and chromosomes affect the human aging process. Since that revolutionary discovery, they have also learned how diet, sleep patterns, stress, exercise habits, and even interpersonal relationships impact telomere health—shedding light on just how much we can influence how quickly we age. 
   
  The Telomere Diet & Cookbook offers you a critical tool for increasing your longevity: eating right to protect your telomeres. With this revolutionary plant-based (but not plant-exclusive) diet, you’ll be able to cook simple and delicious recipes that will help improve the way you age.

Maggie Moon provides nourishing whole-food recipes to promote healthy aging and protect our DNA. The book offers cutting-edge information and practical recommendations for staying ahead of the curve.” —Kelly Morrow, MS, RDN, FAND, Bastyr University and the Bastyr Center for Natural Health

  In this travel guide, you can learn everything you need to know for an exciting and wonderful vacation to this centrally located destination.

  – Chapter 3: Focuses on the indoor activities available in all three of these wonderful areas. 
  – Chapter 4 - Looks at Hotels, B&B’s, and other lodging accommodations in all three areas, from the boutique hotels of Eugene to the rustic lodges of the mountains. 
  – Chapter 5: Dining! From casual food carts to five-star restaurants, this chapter has just the local food seen in Eugene covered! 
  – Chapter 6: Dining outside of Eugene - Either at the coast or going up to the Mountains, this chapter is full of dining delights not located in Eugene! 
  – Chapter 7: Beer, Wine, Drinks, and Dance Clubs in Eugene. This chapter has a comprehensive list of everywhere to go in the Eugene area to get your drink, dance, or simply enjoy some of the craft brews the area is known for!

  The New Housekeeper's Manual

  Published in 1873 in New York, The New Housekeeper’s Manual was written by Catharine Esther Beecher and her sister Harriet Beecher Stowe, two of the most influential women writers and activists of their time. Both women exerted profound influence on American letters and on the shape of American domestic life and educational reform. The book combines two works by the sisters in one volume. The American Woman’s Home: Or Principles of Domestic Science describes kitchen and home design, coping with kitchen appliances and newly invented gadgets, cooking healthful food and drink, caring for the sick with medical recipes, and gardening with plants and domestic animals. The Handy Cook-Book is a “complete, condensed guide to wholesome, economical, and delicious cooking with nearly 500 choice and tested recipes.” The authors assert that their extensive manual was designed specifically for middle-class housewives, versus others written for women with money and servants. It includes housekeeping information and dishes for every occasion that the practical-minded housewife might need. The New Housekeeper’s Manual was well received and had over 25 printings in 25 years.  This edition of The New Housekeeper’s Manual was reproduced by permission from the volume in the collection of the American Antiquarian Society, Worcester, Massachusetts. Founded in 1812 by Isaiah Thomas, a Revolutionary War patriot and successful printer and publisher, the Society is a research library documenting the life of Americans from the colonial era through 1876. The Society collects, preserves, and makes available as complete a record as possible of the printed materials from the early American experience. The cookbook collection includes approximately 1,100 volumes
