  A gorgeous love letter to our most revered cookware—copper pots, cast-iron skillets, and classic stoneware—and the artistry and workmanship behind them, written by an expert craftsperson, perhaps the only woman coppersmith in America. 
  Today, most people are concerned about eating seasonal, organic, and local food. But we don’t think about how the choices we make about our pots, pans, and bowls can also enhance our meals and our lives. Sara Dahmen believes understanding the origins of the cookware we use to make our food is just as essential. Copper, Iron, and Clay, is a beautiful photographic history of our cooking tools and their fundamental uses in the modern kitchen, accompanied by recipes that showcase the best features of various cooking materials. 
  Interested in history and traditional pioneer kitchens, early cooking methods, and original metals used in pots during the early years of America, Sara became obsessed with the crafts of copper- and tin-smithing for kitchenware—specialty trades that are nearly extinct in the United States today. She embarked on a journey to locate artisans nationwide familiar with the old ways who could teach and inspire her. She began making her own cookware not only to connect with the artisanal traditions of our nation’s past, but to adopt the pioneer kitchen to cook and eat healthier today. Why cook fantastic, healthful food in a cheap pan coated with toxic chemicals and inorganic elements? she asks. If you buy one high-quality item made from natural materials, it can serve your family for generations. 
  Copper, Iron, and Clay showcases each material, exploring its fascinating history, fundamental science—including which elements work best for various cooking methods—and its practical uses today. It also features fascinating interviews with industry insiders, including cookware artisans, chefs, entrepreneurs, and manufacturers from around the world. In addition, Sara provides recipes from her own kitchen and some of her famous chef friends, as well as a few historical favorites—all which are optimized for particular kinds of cookware.

  This book contains 4 titles, which are: 
  Ferrets - Ferrets are captivating and spirited creatures that have charmed pet enthusiasts for generations. As members of the Mustelidae family, they are closely related to otters, weasels, and polecats, from which they were domesticated over 2,500 years ago. These small, elongated mammals have evolved from their working roles as hunters to become beloved companions, celebrated for their playful and affectionate personalities. 
  Hedgehogs - First and foremost, hedgehogs are low-maintenance pets compared to more traditional animals like dogs or cats. They thrive in small, well-prepared spaces and have relatively simple dietary needs, making them ideal for individuals living in apartments or homes with limited space. Their quiet and independent nature further adds to their appeal, as they require less attention and interaction than some other pets while still forming a bond with their owners. 
  Horses - Horses are magnificent creatures, each with their own personality, quirks, and needs. As a horse owner, understanding the basics of horse care is fundamental to ensuring their well-being and happiness. This includes everything from their nutrition and grooming to training and health management. While the bond between horse and owner can be incredibly rewarding, it also requires work and commitment.  
  Snakes - The appeal of snakes as pets has grown significantly over the years. Unlike traditional pets such as dogs or cats, snakes are relatively low-maintenance creatures that do not require constant attention. They don’t need daily walks, grooming, or feeding multiple times a day. This makes them ideal for people with busy lifestyles or those who prefer a pet that does not demand much interaction. Additionally, snakes come in a wide variety of species, each with its own unique characteristics, colors, and sizes.

  Sengoku - Warring States and the...

  The Sengoku period, meaning “Warring States,” was one of the most turbulent and transformative eras in Japanese history. Lasting from the mid-15th century to the early 17th century, it was marked by ceaseless conflict, shifting alliances, and the gradual disintegration of centralized authority. The roots of this period can be traced back to the decline of the Ashikaga Shogunate, the Ōnin War, and the rise of regional warlords known as daimyo, each vying for control over Japan’s fractured political landscape. 
  The Ashikaga Shogunate, which had ruled Japan since the early 14th century, gradually lost its grip on the country due to internal corruption, weak leadership, and an inability to maintain order. By the mid-15th century, the shogunate had become largely symbolic, with real power resting in the hands of feudal lords. These tensions erupted into full-scale conflict with the outbreak of the Ōnin War (1467–1477), a devastating civil war primarily fought in and around Kyoto. What began as a succession dispute within the shogunate spiraled into a nationwide conflict, leading to the destruction of Kyoto and the collapse of central authority. 
  With the Ashikaga Shogunate rendered powerless, Japan entered a chaotic era where military might determined control. Local daimyo, originally appointed as provincial governors, seized the opportunity to establish autonomous domains. These warlords fortified their territories, raised armies, and engaged in relentless battles to expand their influence. The traditional system of hereditary rule began to erode as capable military leaders, often of humble origins, overthrew established families. This period saw the rise of powerful daimyo such as the Takeda, Uesugi, and Hojo clans, each striving to dominate the fractured nation.
