Markham reveals the "pretty and curious secrets" of preparing everything from simple foods to such elaborate meals as a "humble feast" - an undertaking which entails preparing "no less than two and thirty dishes, which is as much as can stand on one table." He instructs the housewife on brewing beer and caring for wine, growing flax and hemp for thread, and spinning and dyeing. As a housewife was also responsible for the health and "soundness of body" of her family, he includes advice on the prevention of everything from the plague to baldness and bad breath. No other source from this period provides the same richness of information in such a readable style. Michael Best''s introduction and his abundant notes make The English Housewife readily accessible to the contemporary reader. - Häftad, Engelska, 2000

King Lear is a play for our times. The central characters experience intense suffering in a hostile and unpredictable world. They face domestic cruelty, political defeat, and a stormy external environment that invades them “to the skin.” They constantly question the meaning of their experiences as we watch their emotions range from despair to rage to unexpected tenderness and desperate hope as they are rejected, even tortured. Lear’s daughters, as in a fairy tale, are three strong women. The eldest two vie for sexual and political power, while the youngest, Cordelia, is initially banished because of her plain speaking but then returns in a doomed attempt to restore her father to his throne.
King Lear has an unusual performance history. It was significantly revised, by Shakespeare or others, between its first two publications and was then succeeded by an adaptation that softened the ending so that Lear and Cordelia survived. In our own times King Lear is performed around the world in productions that explore its relevance to contemporary political and environmental challenges. This edition offers a distinctive “extended” text, taking the later Folio as a starting point and adding the lines that appear only in the Quarto, distinguished by a light gray background. Variations in individual words that are of critical interest are recorded in the margin.

This is not one of those from-my-mother's-basement-to-billionaire business books. This is a book for typical small business owners about day to day small business ownership not readily found in your local bookstore or libray, until now.
This book speaks with experience, anecdotes and humor to the hundreds of thousands of present and future regular small business owners in need of practical advice and encouragement. In other words, the huge majority of small business owners who are unlikely to appear on the evening news but who toil away daily because families must be housed, clothed and fed. And because there's a desire for fun and fullfilment along the way with a liveable retirement nest egg at the end.
See what readers have said: "I loved the conversational, story-telling style, which is often funny and so very true"; "The tone is one of a learned pal chatting about his experiences with you over a coffee"; "It's clever, concrete, funny, and fresh."
