  John Fletcher's comedy (probably written and performed around 1611) is a sequel to Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, in which, as the title suggests, the tamer will be tamed. Petruchio, the shrew-tamer, has been widowed, and marries a second wife, Maria, a "chaste witty lady." At the instigation of her cousin Bianca, and with the fellowship of her sister Livia, Maria decides to go on strike for equal rights, refusing to behave as a proper 17th century wife.  Fletcher's play addresses the issue of men and women's roles within marriage, a controversial issue for his day. (Summary by Elizabeth Klett)

  Revealing details about icon Amy Winehouse’s childhood, musical influences and substance abuse, this biography by her father “can’t fail to move”(The Sunday Times). 
   
  The intimate, inside story of the life of multiple Grammy Award-winning singer and songwriter Amy Winehouse is told by the one person most able to tell it—Amy’s closest advisor, her inspiration, and best friend: her father, Mitch. 
   
  Sifting fact from fiction, Mitch Winehouse reveals the events and the people that shaped Amy’s youth—from her mischievous childhood to her grandmother’s Jazz Age stories, to her father singing Frank Sinatra around the house. Shedding light on Amy’s musical coming-of-age, Mitch explores how she honed her distinctive sound, created her unforgettable look, and channeled her own life into hits such as “You Know I’m No Good”, “Rehab”, and “Back to Black” —some of the most memorable and personal pop music in years. 
   
  Mitch holds nothing back about Amy’s addiction to drugs and alcohol and the toll it took on the family and friends who refused to give up on her. Dispelling many of the rumors about her tumultuous marriage to Blake Fielder-Civil, Mitch exposes the years of behind-the-scenes drama and explains how, for those who knew Amy in her last months, the greatest tragedy of all was that she finally appeared to be conquering her demons. 
   
  Amy, My Daughter includes exclusive, never-before-seen photos and paints an open and honest portrait of one of the greatest musical talents of our time. 
   
  “An unsparing portrait of addiction.” —The Times  
   
  “Mitch does a fine job of fleshing out his daughter in all contradictory glory.” —Observer  
   
  “An unflinchingly honest memoir.” —Independent

  A pair of memoirs about a woman starting her life over as a beekeeper in the Ozarks, from “a latter-day Henry Thoreau with a sense of the absurd” (Chicago Tribune).   Taken together, the “steadily eloquent” national bestseller, A Country Year, and its follow-up, A Book of Bees, a New York Times Notable Book, offer a moving and fascinating chronicle of Sue Hubbell’s seasonal second life as a commercial beekeeper (The Washington Post).   Alone on a small Missouri farm after the end of a thirty-year marriage, Hubbell found a new love—of the winged, buzzing variety. Left with little but the commercial beekeeping and honey-producing business she started with her husband, Hubbell found solace in the natural world, as well as in writing about her experience. In evocative vignettes, she takes readers through the seasonal cycle of her life as a beekeeper, offering exquisitely rendered details of hives, harvests, and honey, while also reflecting on deeper questions. As the New York Times wrote: “The real masterwork that Sue Hubbell has created is her life.”
