Beschreibung

Richard Bradley's 'The Country Housewife and Lady's Director in the Management of a House' is a practical and comprehensive guide for women in the 18th century on maintaining their homes and households. Through detailed instructions on food preparation, household organization, and dietary advice, Bradley provides a valuable insight into the daily lives of women during this period. His clear and concise writing style makes the information accessible to a wide audience, reflecting the growing interest in domestic matters during the Enlightenment era. The book serves as both a manual for the inexperienced housewife and a reference guide for the experienced lady of the house, showcasing the importance of homemaking in society at that time. Richard Bradley, a prominent British botanist and writer, drew upon his expertise in natural history and agriculture to author this influential work. His background in science and his interest in practical knowledge make him a credible source for advice on household management. Bradley's understanding of the complexities of running a household shines through in his meticulous descriptions and recommendations. I highly recommend 'The Country Housewife and Lady's Director in the Management of a House' to anyone interested in the history of domesticity, gender roles, or 18th-century life. Bradley's insights into the challenges and duties of women in the household offer a unique perspective on the past and shed light on the importance of domestic skills in earlier societies.

    Isabella Bird began travelling while in her early twenties to help alleviate illness that had plagued her since childhood. She was a single woman in her early forties when she made her treck through the Rocky Mountains. A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains details this fascinating account of her travels through a series of letters written to her sister, Henrietta. These letters are filled with beautiful, vivid descriptions of the scenery, the people she encountered, the way of life, and a mountain man named Jim Nugent, that was as rough as they come, but a complete gentleman with Ms. Bird. She has the distinction of being the first woman to become a member of the Royal Geographical Society in 1892. (Summary by Laura Caldwell)

    THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER 
    A guide for living outdoors and communing with the natural world—under the open skies. 
    ""I believe in sleeping outdoors, surrounded by tall fir trees, darkness and cold. Lying on my back and looking up at the stars, watching my breath form thin clouds."" 
    Under the Open Skies is one man’s perspective-shifting, immersive journey into the wilds of northern Sweden and into his own soul.   
    For four years, Markus Torgeby lived alone in a hut he built with his hands in the Jämtland forest on the northern tip of Sweden, reconnecting with nature, and healing from the stress and strain of urban life and an athletic career derailed by injury. 
    For Markus, living in the forest provided something concrete—cool winter air on his face, a cotton canvas of clouds overhead, wet clothes drying over the fire. Free from the constraints of modernity, his only responsibilities were the basics of survival—shelter, heat, food. Rooted on the ground under a bed of leaves, with his head finally aligned with his body, Markus found the solitude and silence he needed to be reborn. 
    In this moving elegy, Markus offers lessons both practical—how to make fire, how to craft an outdoor bed, how to tap trees for water—and profound—what it means to become one with the natural world, to live authentically, to reconnect with yourself and your surroundings. Under the Open Skies is as invigorating as a long hike on a brisk morning and as sublime as a bowl of cinnamon porridge at the end of a long day. It is an invitation—to the stressed, disconnected, and lonely, to all who yearn to unplug and slow down, to those who wonder how life got so complicated—to come home to nature, to open the mind and heart to the wide-open sky. 
    Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.  
    This book is perfect for nature lovers looking for a way to escape the stresses of modern life and reconnect with the natural world.

    Get up to speed on London trivia and get inside the heads of black cab drivers with questions from the famously difficult test they have to pass. 
     
    Pay a visit to London and a black cab will probably be one of the first things you will see. The London taxi drivers are almost as famous as the black cabs in which they drive; this is mainly due to their in-depth knowledge of London and ability in taking their occupants to their desired destination amid the congestion and the chaos that you often find when travelling through London’s streets. London taxi drivers go through stringent training to obtain their licence, they need to pass “The Knowledge,” a test which is among the hardest to pass in the world, and has been described as “like having an atlas of London implanted into your brain.” 
     
    The test requires you to master no fewer than 320 basic routes, all of the 40,000 streets that are scattered within the basic routes and approximately 20,000 landmarks and places of public interest that are located within a six-mile radius of Charing Cross. 
     
    This book breaks the test down into a series of head-scratching questions and features enough trivia about the capital to surprise even born and bred Londoners. It’s the perfect gift for anyone who thinks they know London inside-out, or wants to learn more!
