Going beyond reprints of single cookbooks and bland adaptations of historic recipes, this richly contextualized critical anthology puts the New England cooking tradition on display in all its unexpected―and delicious―complexity. From pottage to pie crust, from caudle to calf's head, historic methods and obscure meanings are thoroughly―sometimes humorously―explained. Each chapter, and each section within each chapter, is also prefaced by a brief introductory essay. Recipes are presented in their original textual forms and are accompanied by commentaries designed to make them more accessible to the modern reader. Readers can sample regional offerings grouped into the categories of the liquid one-pot meal, fish, fowl, meat and game, pie, pudding, bread, and cake. In this enticing anthology of almost 400 historic New England recipes from the seventeenth to the early twentieth century, you will be treated to such dishes as wine-soaked bass served with oysters and cranberries, roast shoulder of lamb seasoned with sweet herbs, almond cheesecake infused with rosewater, robust Connecticut brown bread, zesty ginger nuts, and high-peaked White Mountain cake.īeginning with four chapters placing the region's best-known cookbook authors and their works in nuanced historical context, Keith Stavely and Kathleen Fitzgerald then proceed to offer a ten-chapter cornucopia of culinary temptation. If you think traditional New England cooking is little more than baked beans and clam chowder, think again. And yet when he died in 1917-in Japan, under suspicious circumstances-his work was unheralded. He traveled across some of the most forbidding landscapes on earth-from the ice mountains of Norway to the deserts of Africa-defying the dangers of war and political upheaval, dedicating himself to the unraveling of this mystery. In 1899, Birkeland set out on his lifelong, arduous, increasingly compulsive quest for an explanation of the aurora borealis. Now Lucy Jago tells the story of the science-and the romance-behind the northern lights as she traces the grand adventure of Birkeland's life. Even at the turn of the century, the most sophisticated scientists misapprehended their cause. Through the ages, the lights of the aurora borealis were believed to be the messengers of gods or signs of apocalypse or souls of the dead. A previously untold story-a brilliant examination of the life of the visionary 20th-century Norwegian scientist Kristian Birkeland. But one ugly truth might shatter what they have… Danny and Fiona must help one another overcome the burden of their parents’ pasts.

The Carnival at Bray meets West Side Story in Sarah Carlson’s powerful YA debut set in post-conflict Belfast (Northern Ireland), alternating between two teenagers, both trying to understand their past and preserve their future.

But it is with her grandmother that Sophia engages. Sophia's mother has died at the start of the book and the father is always lurking in the margins of the pages. Someone who's really interested ought to write a book about them.'" Sophia turns up that evening with an exercise book in which she writes the title "A Study of Angleworms That Have Come Apart." 'I don't think anyone's ever taken sufficient interest in angleworms. Although she only ever prompts the child rather than directs: "'You know,' Grandmother said.

A postcard arrives from Venice and they set about creating canals in the mud and building palazzos from matchboxes. The characters' terrain is limited – a small forest, a beach, a bog, some moss-covered granite – and yet their imaginations are endless. An extraordinary history by one of Jane's members, The Story of Jane is an urgent account of the organization's development, the conflicts within the group, and the impact its work had on both the women it helped and the members themselves. Eventually, determined to reclaim women's reproductive power in any way they were able, many members of Jane learned to perform abortions themselves. As Jane grew, so did the group's capacity to protect its clients. Organized in 1969 and active until the opening of the first legal abortion clinics in 1973, Jane initially counseled women and referred them to abortion providers who set prices and conditions.

Not just the cheating, but also the whole idea that these girls believe it's going to be BOTH of their first times. While Mercedes thought (however misguidedly) that she was HELPING these guys, anyone who really takes a look at the situation can see that sleeping with someone else is NOT the way to give a girl a great first time. With a premise like that, I totally wondered where this could go? I was cringing all over the place because I just knew that this would not end well. She teaches them the tricks of the trade (by doing the sex) and then helps them plan out the most special night possible for their girlfriends. Mercedes is a girl who (for reasons) has sex with virgin guys who want to be able to give their girlfriend's a great first time without all the nervousness and awkwardness. I love a book that goes for the hard issues, and this one was no exception!! I couldn't believe that there would be a YA book coming out that was willing to center on high school sex. It was recommended to me by a friend, and then the publisher contacted me about the blog tour, and I was SO feeling it. When I first heard about this book, I was completely intrigued. So, because I’m a bit OCD and because I like to document my reading, I decided to list on my activity page, not that I was reading / listening to Chronicals for more than a year, but that I was reading each component book fairly quickly.

And if she has to be unhappy, she's going to drag everyone else down to the depths of despair right along with her.īeing a Barnard girl is the stuff of Lorraine Dyer's dreams. If Marcus Eastman truly loved her, how could he have fallen for another girl so quickly? Their romance mustn't have been as magical as Clara thought.
