Summary

In "Mrs. Bindle: Some Incidents from the Domestic Life of the Bindles," Herbert George Jenkins masterfully captures the complexities of everyday life in early 20th-century England through the lens of the Bindle family. The narrative unfolds with a light-hearted yet incisive humor, painting vivid portraits of domesticity, social stratification, and personal relationships within a rapidly changing society. Jenkins employs a colloquial style that is both accessible and engaging, inviting readers into the cozy, if sometimes chaotic, world of the Bindles and highlighting the sometimes humorous, sometimes poignant incidents that punctuate their daily lives. Herbert George Jenkins, a notable author and dramatist of his time, was often drawn to themes of the working class and domesticity, likely influenced by his own background and experiences in the vibrant fabric of suburban life. His keen observational skills and ability to weave relatable characters and scenarios are evident in this work, showcasing his desire to represent ordinary people with dignity, humor, and honesty against the backdrop of a transforming society. This delightful novel is highly recommended for readers seeking a glimpse into the British middle-class domestic experience during a pivotal era. Its endearing characters, along with Jenkins'Äô witty narrative style, offer both escapism and a reflection on the human condition, making it a valuable addition to the literature of its time.

    Bullshift - How Optimism Bias...

    Does your financial adviser tell you to hold on and never sell? That markets recover in the long run? Does your adviser seem to always have an optimistic disposition? Do they tell you not to worry, no matter what is going on in the outside world? In Bullshift, John J. De Goey explores the hidden relationship between bias and financial markets. He makes clear that investors and financial advisers are not the rational decision makers that economic theory assumes them to be, and that “tried and true” investment advice is not always sound. De Goey shows that advisers are immersed in a culture of Bullshift — they simply don’t realize how their positive outlook on markets is based on industry-wide groupthink. Unfortunately, this problem affects much more than just your own investment portfolio. After three years of an international pandemic, the full economic impact of the response to it still hasn’t been felt. There’s more pain coming, but the financial industry’s eternal optimism, abetted by government policies designed to consistently encourage growth and avoid tough choices, is walking us toward a cliff for the global economy.

    I hope that you will find the information helpful, useful and profitable. 
From long before the `medical profession` was remotely as reliable as it is today, people relied mostly on herbal cures. Most people had a rudimentary knowledge of the capabilities of of the flora that grew in their neighbourhood, and the older women tended to know more than most. These women were often referred to as wise women. By the way, they were the ones later persecuted by the established churches as witches, 
The people who had this this superior knowledge of local herbs were heavily relied upon by the local community, and the best of the best would also `import` herbs from further afield. This knowledge has not been lost, but fewer modern men and women are in possession of it than their parents` and grandparents` generations. It could have been said to be dying out 
However, there has been a revival of interest in the ancient cures, often referred to as traditional, alternative or natural remedies. There are many reasons for this. Some might be a breakdown of trust in the establishment and advertisers; the soaring cost of modern drugs; the increasing difficulty of getting to see a doctor; the side effects of strong chemical drugs; and even an upswell in the desire to return to a less chemical way of life. 
Whatever the reason for your interest in this topic, I hope you enjoy this booklet. 
The information in this ebook on various aspects of traditional home remedies and related ideas is organised into 19 chapters of about 500-600 words each.
