A difficult classroom - One quiet moment
AS a new teacher in 6th grade mathematics classrooms with wildly varying ability levels, I look for varied ways to present materials. Some of the children don't know how many minutes are in an hour, some are ready for algebra now. This book is a great quick read to introduce the coordinate plane. The kids who are struggling are grateful for a moment to catch their collective breaths and learn ...

Good Wives: Image and Reality in the Lives of Women in Northern New England, 1650-1750

Vintage, 1991

"Pots and pans" history
"Pots and pans" history. So that's what this stuff is called. If that is supposed to diminish it, allow me to suggest that nothing could be further from the truth. Nothing is more controversial in our society today than "woman's place," and no where is it more controversial than among women. (Any email list will bear this out.) But what was it like for the women who were the founders of this ...

Richard White

Cambridge University Press, 1991

Breaking new ground
Richard White should be awfully proud of himself. Using a close examination of a particular time in a particular place, he manages to open one's eyes to an entirely new way of thinking about the long term dynamics of human interaction that we call "history". Works like these are the fruit of all the painstaking hard work that American historians have been contributing over the last one or two ...

A Thoughtful Retelling of Nell Gwyn's Tumultuous Life
A Thoughtful Yet Entertaining Retelling of Nell Gwynne's Life It's not easy to take a familiar historical legend and make it seem new. The story of Nell Gwynne, who hopped from selling oranges during theater intermissions to the bed of the king of England is well-known, and the inspiration for old chestnuts like "Forever Amber." But in this thoughtful yet entertaining retelling, the author ...

Very Help to this First Time Mom & Dad
I strongly recommend this book - but READ IT from start to finish (don't jump from subject to subject). WTEWYE was given to me as a gift early in my pregnancy (about 5 weeks in). I started reading from the first chapter and continued to read throughout my pregnancy. While it discuss the "worse case" it also discussed the "best case". At the start of each chapter it clearly states that not all ...

Its reprint here makes it an ongoing top pick and mention for any college-level art library holding: it draws on source material scrapbooks of cloth swatches offering period terms, dimensions, prices, and engravings of their times to reproduce both ...

A Revolution in Taste: The Rise of French Cuisine, 1650-1800
Susan Pinkard

Cambridge University Press, 2008

Modern French habits of cooking, eating, and drinking were born in the Ancien Regime, radically breaking with culinary traditions that originated in antiquity and creating a new aesthetic. This new culinary culture saw food and wine as important links between human beings and nature. Authentic foodstuffs and simple preparations became the hallmarks of the modern style. Pinkard traces the roots and development of this culinary revolution to ...

Seeds of Discontent: The Deep Roots of the American Revolution, 1650-1750

Walker & Company, 2008

Americans are patient, but . . . .
This book is marvelous. As a Canadian, raised in a "loyalist" province settled by Tories who were driven out of the United States after the War of Independence, it's always been a puzzle why rational people would rebel against the King. This book gave me a much deeper appreciation of America and Canada. First off, I'm convinced those Tories were clueless dunderheads who didn't appreciate ...

Jonathan I. Israel

Oxford University Press, USA, 2002

Fascinating Intellectual History
An utterly fascinating study of intellectual history in Europe, especially Holland, on either side of the turn of the eighteenth century. "Radical Enlightenment" refers to what were perceived as hard-line attacks on authoritarian, particularly religious ideas, specifically the ideas of divine providence, the afterlife, rewards and punishments for behavior. Israel sees Spinoza as the chief ...

Osprey Publishing, 2003

Ninjas in Detail
Military historian Steven Turnbull does an excellent job of portraying historical ninjas in this thin volume. A lot of the book on ninjas cover either ninja legends or "ninjitsu" which is a kind of reconstructed martial art which is practiced mainly by American ninja fans and Japanese who are working at ninja theme parks. Turnbull strips all this away and shows us what an authentic ninja was ...

Classical Swedish Architecture and Interiors: 1650-1830

Johan Cederlund

W. W. Norton, 2007

An amazingly beautiful book. Full of great information and pictures.
I have bought several books on Swedish architecture and design. This book truly is an important addition to any fan of neoclassical design, although the segments on the baroque, rococco and empire periods are also outstanding. The sketches, floorplans, photographs and engravings are of an extremely high quality, and the sheer breadth of buildings covered is astounding. Highly, highly, ...
