Sinopsis

Esther Singleton's 'The Shakespeare Garden' provides a comprehensive look into the use of plants and flowers in Shakespeare's works, exploring the botanical references and symbolism in his plays and sonnets. Singleton's meticulous research and vivid descriptions make this book a valuable resource for both literature enthusiasts and gardeners interested in the historical significance of plants. Written in a scholarly yet accessible style, 'The Shakespeare Garden' offers readers a deeper understanding of the natural world as depicted by the Bard of Avon. Singleton's attention to detail and passion for the subject shine through in her engaging prose, making this book a delight to read. Esther Singleton, known for her expertise in historical research and literary analysis, brings a unique perspective to the intersection of literature and botany in 'The Shakespeare Garden'. Her in-depth knowledge and passion for both subjects make her the perfect author to explore the connections between Shakespeare's writings and the natural world. I highly recommend 'The Shakespeare Garden' to anyone interested in Shakespeare, botany, or the fascinating overlap between the two realms.

    “Awe. It’s the overwhelming emotion 20 authors express for the cougar—or mountain lion or panther or puma—in [this] beautiful literary anthology.” —The Durango Herald 
       
    Foreword by Jane Goodall 
     
     This spellbinding tribute to Puma concolor honors the big cat’s presence on the land and in our psyches. In some essays, the puma appears front and center: a lion leaps over Rick Bass’s feet, hurtles off a cliff in front of J. Frank Dobie, gazes at Julia Corbett when she opens her eyes after an outdoor meditation, emerges from the fog close enough for poet Gary Gildner to touch. Marc Bekoff opens his car door for a dog that turns out to be a lion. Other works evoke lions indirectly. Biologists describe aspects of cougar ecology, such as its rugged habitat and how males struggle to claim territory. Conservationists relate the political history of America’s greatest cat. Short stories and essays consider lions’ significance to people, reflecting on accidental encounters, dreams, Navajo beliefs, guided hunts, and how vital mountain lions are to people as symbols of power and wildness.   Contributors include: Rick Bass, Marc Bekoff, Janay Brun, Julia B. Corbett, Deanna Dawn, J. Frank Dobie, Suzanne Duarte, Steve Edwards, Joan Fox, Gary Gildner, Wendy Keefover-Ring, Ted Kerasote, Christina Kohlruss, Barry Lopez, BK Loren, Cara Blessley Lowe, Steve Pavlik, David Stoner, and Linda Sweanor.  “Puma. Cougar. Mountain lion. Panther. These words and the creatures they represent inspire awe, wonder, excitement, terror, and reverence in the writers whose contributions make up this anthology.” —Library Journal

    A foodie turned poultry farmer offers a practical guide to raising chickens in this part memoir, part chicken and egg cookbook.   A love of eating and using quality ingredients led Tim Halket to build a hen house in the corner of his garden for a daily harvest of fresh eggs. Five Fat Hens is his insightful, often humorous, take on just what it’s like to raise chickens at home. More than a DIY guide to keeping a few free-range birds, this cookbook is part memoir and part lifestyle manual. Halket takes readers through an entire year, skillfully combining meditations on his passion for cooking with original recipes, all starting with the premise that even the smallest garden can include a supply of delicious, fresh eggs.   Neither a trained chef nor an experienced farmer, Tim’s tips and recipes draw on his learning experiences and love for culinary experimentation. With recipes ranging from the highly original Duelos y Quebrantos and Persian Chicken Supper to variations on everyday Italian or French classics, to simple comfort food, this timely book is an engaging account of one man’s appealing lifestyle that will inspire food lovers everywhere—whether they intend to keep chickens or not.   “Good recipes, engagingly told.” —The Spectator

    Every home cook has thoughts on the right and wrong ways to use spices. These beliefs are passed down in family recipes and pronounced by television chefs, but where do such ideas come from? Many are little better than superstition, and most serve only to reinforce a cook's sense of superiority or cover for their insecurities. It doesn't have to be this way.These notes On Spice come from three generations of a family in the spice trade, and dozens upon dozens of their collected spice guides and stories. In this book, you'll learn where spices come from: historically, geographically, botanically, and in the modern market. You'll hear snapshots of life in a spice shop, how the flavors and stories can infuse not just meals but life and relationships. And you’ll get straightforward advice delivered with wry wit.Discover why:● Salt grinders are useless● Saffron is worth its weight in gold (as long as it's pure)● That jar of cinnamon almost certainly isn't● Vanilla is far more risqué than you think
