And so, the marriage games begin. The Duke of Hawkhurst is proud - and really rather, well, poor! He has an enormous estate, and a longstanding pedigree, but his ancestors have gambled, frittered, and otherwise simply lost the Hawkhurst fortune. Luckily, there are American heiresses galore coming to snare titled gentlemen, and put their money to good use keeping the castles sturdy and the estates afloat. Lady Louisa St John - the daughter of an earl and the sister of an earl - is forced to become essentially a finishing governess to Jenny Rose.

Knight's Own Book of Chivalry University of Pennsylvania Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

A Knight's Own Book of Chivalry Geoffroi de Charny. Introduction by Richard W. Kaeuper. Translation by Elspeth Kennedy "Of exceptional interest for the light shed on the ethos, style, and tastes of the secular aristocracy of the later Middle Ages. Charny's book offers an exploration and explanation of the values and proper manner of life for Christian knights and men at arms by someone who was a knight himself...A real boon to the historian."--London Review of Books "Kaeuper and Kennedy have done scholars a tremendous service in their publication of the excellent 1996 edition...This slimmed-down version now provides teachers of chivalry, warfare, and gender with an excellent resource for the classroom."--Medieval Review * On the great influence of a valiant lord: "The companions, who see that good warriors are honored by the great lords for their prowess, become more determined to attain this level of prowess." * On the lady who sees her knight honored: "All of this makes the noble lady rejoice greatly within herself at the fact that she has set her mind and heart on loving and helping to make such a good knight or good man-at-arms."* On the worthiest amusements: "The best pastime of all is to be often in good company, far from unworthy men and from unworthy activities from which no good can come." Enter the real world of knights and their code of ethics and behavior. Read how an aspiring knight of the fourteenth century would conduct himself and learn what he would have needed to know when traveling, fighting, appearing in court, and engaging fellow knights. Composed at the height of the Hundred Years War by Geoffroi de Charny, one of the most respected knights of his age, A Knight's Own Book of Chivalry was designed as a guide for members of the Company of the Star, an order created by Jean II of France in 1352 to rival the English Order of the Garter. This is the most authentic and complete manual on the day-to-day life of the knight that has survived the centuries, and this edition contains a specially commissioned introduction from historian Richard W. Kaeuper that gives the history of both the book and its author, who, among his other achievements, was the original owner of the Shroud of Turin. Geoffroi de Charny (1304?-56) was considered the quintessential knight of his age by his contemporaries.He was killed at the Battle of Poitiers. Richard W. Kaeuper is Professor of History at the University of Rochester. He is the author of a number of books, including Chivalry and Violence in Medieval Europe. Elspeth Kennedy is Sometime Fellow at St. Hilda's College, Oxford University.

Breed Your Own Vegetable Varieties Chelsea Green Publishing Co

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Amid the current debate over biotechnology and gene splicing, plant breeding has somehow gotten a bad name. Yet not all plant breeders wear lab coats and carry test tubes. Indigenous farmers have been saving seeds and improving their food plants for thousands of years. In other words, you don't need a college degree to develop new, unique, and often superior vegetables right in your backyard garden. You also don't need fancy, expensive equipment or a lot of space.First published in 1993, Carol Deppe's Breed Your Own Vegetable Varieties is even more relevant and important today. Completely revised and expanded, this new edition contains much more material on seed saving for the backyard gardener and small-scale commercial grower. The author also provides unique and crucial information from her own experience and research, including: -- how to develop new and unusual crops, and how to breed for a wide range of different traits (flavor; earliness; high yield; size, shape, and color; cold or heat tolerance; disease resistance; and regional adaptation); -- how many plants you need to grow for seed from each crop to ensure good genetic diversity; -- how to conduct your own variety trials and farm- or garden-based plant research; and-- how to develop plants for a sustainable future, with an emphasis on organic growing methods.As comprehensive and invaluable as it is as a home reference, Breed Your Own Vegetable Varieties is also quite readable for the layperson who is interested in plant and gardening. Throughout the book, the author relates stories of amateur plant breeders, real people who are helping to ensure that our rich garden heritage will be available, and evenimproved, for our children and grandchildren to enjoy.While suited to all climates, gardeners in the Pacific Northwest will find the growing information especially useful. Yet every serious gardener should read this book, and so should small farmers and commercial grower
