  What the Anti-Federalists Were...

  The Anti-Federalists, in Herbert J. Storing’s view, are somewhat paradoxically entitled to be counted among the Founding Fathers and to share in the honor and study devoted to the founding. “If the foundations of the American polity was laid by the Federalists,” he writes, “the Anti-Federalist reservations echo through American history; and it is in the dialogue, not merely in the Federalist victory, that the country’s principles are to be discovered.” It was largely through their efforts, he reminds us, that the Constitution was so quickly amended to include a bill of rights.Storing here offers a brilliant introduction to the thought and principles of the Anti-Federalists as they were understood by themselves and by other men and women of their time. His comprehensive exposition restores to our understanding the Anti-Federalist share in the founding its effect on some of the enduring themes and tensions of American political life. The concern with big government and infringement of personal liberty one finds in the writings of these neglected Founders strikes a remarkably timely note.

  Do you remember Beatlemania? Radio Caroline? Mods and Rockers? The very first miniskirts? Then the chances are you were born in the or around 1960.  
  To the young people of today, the 1960s seems like another age. But for those who grew up in this decade, school life, 'mod' fashions and sixties pop music are still fresh in their minds. From James Bond to Sindy dolls and playing hopscotch in the street, life was very different to how it is now. After the tough and frugal years of the fifties, the sixties was a boom period, a time of changed attitudes and improved lifestyles. With chapters on home and school life, games and hobbies, music and fashion, this delightful compendium of memories will appeal to all who grew up in this lively era.  
  Take a nostalgic look at what it was like to grow up during the sixties and recapture all aspects of life back then.

  Knead to Know - A History of Baking

  In Knead to Know: A History of Baking, food historian and chef Neil Buttery takes the reader on a journey exploring the creation, evolution and cultural importance of some of our most beloved baked foods, whether they be fit for a monarch's table, or served from the bakestone of a lowly farm labourer. This book charts innovations, happy accidents and some of the most downright bizarre baked foods ever created. 
   
   
  Everything has a history, but food history is special because it tells us so much about our culture and society, from the role of bread in the birth of human civilisation to the invention of the wedding cake, the creation of the whisk, or the purpose of the fish heads in a star-gazy pie. Food history encompasses it all. 
   
   
  When we think of the evolution of something, we think every step is an improvement, an incremental elevation toward some peak of perfection. This is not always the case. Sometimes things have to become simpler, knowledge is lost and skills are forgotten. As a baker of historical foods, Neil Buttery demonstrates that forgotten recipes and traditional techniques are often worth trying out (and mentions a few that should perhaps be left in the past).

  Taoism, one of the world's most ancient spiritual traditions, offers profound insights into the nature of existence and the interconnectedness of all life. Originating in China over two thousand years ago, Taoism encompasses a rich tapestry of philosophy, spirituality, and practice that has influenced not only the Chinese culture but also the broader global community. This book aims to explore the essence of Taoism, its core teachings, and its relevance in the modern world. 
  At the heart of Taoism is the concept of the Tao, often translated as "the Way." The Tao represents the fundamental principle that underlies and unites all things in the universe. It is an ever-flowing force that guides the natural order of the cosmos, encouraging individuals to live in harmony with the rhythms of nature. Through the exploration of key texts such as the *Tao Te Ching* and the *Zhuangzi*, readers will gain insights into the profound wisdom of Laozi and Zhuang Zhou, two of Taoism's most revered sages. 
  This book delves into the core beliefs and practices of Taoism, emphasizing its emphasis on simplicity, humility, and compassion. The teachings of Taoism encourage individuals to embrace the spontaneity of life, to cultivate inner peace, and to foster a deep sense of connection with the natural world. By exploring the principles of yin and yang, the significance of Wu Wei (effortless action), and the pursuit of harmony, readers will discover how Taoism offers a pathway to balance and fulfillment. 
  In our contemporary world, characterized by rapid change and constant distraction, the wisdom of Taoism serves as a gentle reminder of the importance of slowing down, reconnecting with nature, and finding tranquility within ourselves.
