The Making of Home - Judith Flanders - Bog - Atlantic Books - Plusbog.dk

The idea that ''home'' is a special place, a separate place, a place where we can be our true selves, is so obvious to us today that we barely pause to think about it. But, as Judith Flanders shows in this revealing book, ''home'' is a relatively new concept. When in 1900 Dorothy assured the citizens of Oz that ''There is no place like home'', she was expressing a view that was a culmination of 300 years of economic, physical and emotional change. In The Making of Home , Flanders traces the evolution of the house across northern Europe and America from the sixteenth to the early twentieth century, and paints a striking picture of how the homes we know today differ from homes through history. The transformation of houses into homes, she argues, was not a private matter, but an essential ingredient in the rise of capitalism and the birth of the Industrial Revolution. Without ''home'', the modern world as we know it would not exist, and as Flanders charts the development of ordinary household objects - from cutlery, chairs and curtains, to fitted kitchens, plumbing and windows - she also peels back the myths that surround some of our most basic assumptions, including our entire notion of what it is that makes a family. As full of fascinating detail as her previous bestsellers, The Making of Home is also a book teeming with original and provocative ideas.

The Home Stretch - Sally (author) Howard - Bog - Atlantic Books - Plusbog.dk

Forty years of feminism and still women do the majority of the housework. Why?In fact, while women are making slow but steady gains on gender disparities in the workplace, at home the gap is widening - in the UK, the average heterosexual British woman puts in 12 more days of household labour per year than her male companion, while young American men are now twice as likely as their fathers to think a woman''s place is in the home. And when ''having it all'' so often means hiring a nanny or cleaner, is it something to aspire to? Sally Howard joins up with a cohort of feminist separatists, undertakes a day''s shift with her Lithuanian cleaner, lives in a futuristic model home designed to anticipate our needs and meets latte papas and one-percent parents in this lively examination which combines history and fieldwork with her personal story. The Home Stretch is a fascinating investigation into how we got here and what the future could look like for feminism''s final frontier: the domestic labour gap.

Till the Cows Come Home - Philip Walling - Bog - Atlantic Books - Plusbog.dk

''A vital, thorough and accessible history that everyone who cares about the past or the future should read.'' Rosamund Young, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Secret Life of Cows ______________________________________ The story of the relationship between humankind and cattle, from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Counting Sheep . To tell the story of the relationship between humankind and cattle is to tell the story of civilisation itself. Since the beginning, cattle have tilled our soils, borne our burdens, fed and clothed us and been our loyal and uncomplaining servants in the work of taming the wilderness and wresting a living from the land. There has never been a time when we have not depended on cattle. As human societies have migrated from the country to the city, the things they have needed from their cattle may have changed, but the fundamental human dependence remains.Blending personal experience, recollection, interviews with farmers, butchers and cattle breeders and studding the narrative with little-known nuggets of technical detail, Philip Walling entertainingly reveals the central importance of cattle to all our lives.

Lady Fanshawe''s Receipt Book brilliantly illuminates the life and times of an English woman''s Civil War.

From the bestselling author of Memorial , a novel that will ''break your heart twice over, with sadness, sure, but more unexpectedly, with joy.'' Rumaan Alam Growing up , TJ was Cam''s boy next door. When Cam needed a home, TJ''s parents - Mae and Jin - took him in. Their family bakery became Cam''s safe place. Until he left, and it wasn''t anymore.Years later, Cam''s world is falling apart. The love of his life, Kai, is gone: but his ghost keeps haunting Cam, and won''t let go. And Cam''s not sure he wants to let go, not sure he''s ready. When he has a chance to return to his home town, to work in a gay bar clinging on in a changing city landscape, he takes it. Back in the same place as TJ, they circle each other warily, their banter electric with an undercurrent of betrayal, drawn together despite past and current drama. Family is family. But TJ is no longer the same person Cam left behind; he''s had his own struggles. The quiet, low-key, queer kid, the one who stayed home, TJ''s not sure how to navigate Cam - utterly cool, completely devastated and self-destructing - crashing back into his world.When things said - or left unsaid - become so insurmountable that they devour us from within, hope and sustenance and friendship can come from the most unlikely source. Nourishment has many forms: eating croissants, sitting together at a table with bowls of curry, sharing history, confronting demons, growing flowers, showing up. This is a story about how the people who know us the longest can hurt us the most, but how they also set the standard for love, and by their necessary presence, create a family.
