        Anne Clifford's Great Books of Record

        by Jessica L. Malay

        In her Great Books of Record Anne Clifford places herself within the dynamic history of the ancient Clifford family, providing an unbroken view into medieval and early modern life for nearly six centuries. In this annotated edition, we glimpse the lives of simple widows, traders, farmers, and labourers juxtaposed with the adventures of soldiers, lords and ladies, princes and princesses. Throughout, Anne Clifford asserts the centrality of women to the success of noble families, including the monarchy. Her Great Books draws upon medieval traditions and early modern scholarship and builds upon these through biographies of the Clifford lords and ladies, along with an extended biography of her mother Margaret Russell and her own autobiographical 'Life of Mee'. Those interested in the lives of medieval and early modern women, changes in culture, the effect of the political upon individuals, and the inspiring life of Anne Clifford will find this a rich and rewarding book.

        The First Book of Farming

        by Charles L. Goodrich

        This book is a result of the author's search for these facts and truths as a student and farmer and his endeavor as a teacher to present them in a simple manner to others. The object in presenting the book to the general public is the hope that it may be of assistance to farmers, students and teachers, in their search for the fundamental truths and principles of farming.

        The love of books

        Attachment to a changing cultural object

        by María Angélica Thumala Olave

        The Love of Books examines the affective bond between people and books in the UK. In the context of the unprecedented abundance of media offering information, storytelling and entertainment, it investigates the attachment to print and digital books amongst readers from a range of backgrounds who read for pleasure, wish to be surrounded by print copies of books, and have trouble discarding books. Unlike existing research, which focuses on prestige, social status, and cultural capital, this study centres on meaning, materiality and emotion. Drawing on interviews and archive material, it shows how attachment emerges from the practical fusion of three elements that have so far been examined separately: the material, surface properties of books, the act of reading, and books' symbolic power.

        Hermits and anchorites in England, 1200–1550

        by E. A. Jones

        This source book offers a comprehensive treatment of solitary religious lives in England in the late Middle Ages. It covers both enclosed recluses (anchorites) and free-wandering hermits, and explores the relationship between them. Although there has been a recent surge of interest in the solitary vocations, especially anchorites, this has focused almost exclusively on a small number of examples. The field is in need of reinvigoration, and this book provides it. Featuring translated extracts from a wide range of Latin, Middle English and Old French sources, as well as a scholarly introduction and commentary from one of the foremost experts in the field, Hermits and anchorites in England is an invaluable resource for students and lecturers alike.

        In 50 Rezepten durch die Weltliteratur

        by Cara Nicoletti, Tanja Handels, Susanne Kammerer

        Cara Nicoletti liebt zwei Dinge im Leben: Lesen und Kochen. Warum also nicht beides vereinen? Denn Nicoletti ist nicht nur Konditorin, Köchin und die mit Sicherheit charmanteste Metzgerin in ganz Brooklyn, sondern auch ein ausgesprochener Bücherwurm. Wer könnte also besser die beiden schönsten Dinge im Leben zusammenbringen als diese hungrige Leserin? Angefangen hat alles in der Fleischerei des Großvaters in Boston, Massachusetts, in der Cara bereits als Mädchen stapelweise Bücher verschlang. Später zog es sie nach New York, wo sie zwischen dem Bücherwälzen fürs Literaturstudium und der Arbeit in Brooklyns bekanntester Metzgerei schließlich auf die Idee kam, aus ihrer Doppelleidenschaft eine einzige zu machen – indem sie die kulinarischen Passagen ihrer Lieblingsbücher nacherzählte und die besten Rezepte kurzerhand nachkochte. Von Pippi Langstrumpfs »Buttermilchpfannkuchen« über das »perfekt gekochte Ei« von Jane Austen bis hin zu Jonathan Franzens »Schokoladen-Cupcakes mit Pfefferminz-Buttercreme« – Nicoletti lässt uns nicht nur das Wasser im Munde zusammenlaufen, sondern verführt uns auch zum Nachlesen und Nachkochen. Ein perfektes Geschenk für Lesewütige und ein Buch, das rundum glücklich macht.

        Judaica IV

        by Gershom Scholem, Rolf Tiedemann

        Unter Gershom Scholems Büchern erlangten die drei »Judaica« betitelten Bände wohl die weiteste Verbreitung. Die Herausgabe eines vierten Bandes, die Scholem plante, wurde durch seinen Tod im Februar 1982 verhindert; der Verlag legte diesen Band postum vor. Scholem, der den größten Teil seiner Arbeit der Erschließung eines fast vergessenen Forschungsbereichs, der jüdischen Mystik, widmete, sah seine historischen und philologischen Untersuchungen stets im Zusammenhang »mit der auf die Wiedergeburt des jüdischen Volkes als eines lebendigen Ganzen gerichteten Bewegung, durch die auch eine neue Sicht der jüdischen Geschichte möglich wurde«. Davon zeugt auch dieser Band, der Aufsätze und Vorträge über die Kabbala mit solchen vereinigt, die aktuellen Fragen des jüdischen Lebens gelten.
