A fascinating new entry in this popular series, exploring Britain's LGBTQ+ history through objects recorded by the Portable Antiquities Scheme. The LGBTQ+ community is made up of a range of different sexualities and gender expressions. Although the terms we use to categorize this diversity did not exist in the past, that doesn’t mean that diversity didn’t exist. Some historical figures we know had same sex relationships, while others did not follow the gender norms of the day. Symbols that are used by the LGBTQ+ community can be found in the past, though their use and meaning might have changed over time. This book explores themes relating to LGBTQ+ life and history, using objects found by members of the public and recorded with the Portable Antiquities Scheme. From a coin of the Roman Emperor Hadrian to a small lead bear toy, this book also covers the rich depth of history and range of objects that can be seen on the PAS database. <br><br> Autorid: Ben Paites <br>

Each pie is an impressive, whimsical tribute that encapsulates a state's unique flavors and honors its culture. · For South Dakota, Stacey researched Indigenous ingredients with a Sioux nation chef to create her Wild Rice Pudding Pie. · For Illinois, she created a Deep Dish Pumpkin Pie. · For Nevada, she brought a Las Vegas all-you-can-eat-buffet into eight extraordinary savory and sweet slices. And there are plenty of crowd pleasers, such as: · Kentucky's Derby Pie with Blackberry Sauce · Mississippi Mud Pie · Idaho’s Mashed Potato Pie with Hash Brown Crust and Scallop Potato Topping · Georgia's Sweet Tea Peach Pie with Pecan Crumble · North Dakota’s Tater Tot Hot Dish Pie With bonus pies to honor Stacey’s trajectory from Southeast Asia to her Brooklyn home, like: · A Pandan Custard Pie for her birthplace of Singapore · A Kope Jahe Pie in honor of her childhood in Indonesia · A Honey Peach Pie for her time at the Savannah College of Art and Design · And a Bagel Order Pie to celebrate her new forever New York City home Every pie is an opportunity to celebrate–or defend your home state's honor, presented in a beautifully packaged cookbook that is "everything we need more of right now" (Cheryl day, author of Cheryl Day's Treasury of Southern Baking).

With recipes organized like the all-American roadtrip we've all wanted to complete, this book is a journey through the wonders of pie for bakers of all skill levels–and the story of one extraordinary woman who chose to make this place her home. <br><br> Autorid: Stacey Mei Yan Fong <br>

The world as we know it would not exist without plants. Have you ever stopped to think about how your morning cappuccino came to be? From the coffee bush that yielded the beans to the grass for the cattle, or perhaps the soya, that produced the milk, plants are an indispensable part of our everyday life. Beginning with some of the earliest uses of plants, Stephen A. Harris takes us on an exciting journey through history, identifying fifty plants that have been key to the development of the Western world, while also discussing trade, imperialism, politics, medicine, travel, and chemistry along the way. There are plants here that have changed landscapes, fomented wars, and fueled slavery. Others have been the trigger for technological advances, expanded medical knowledge, or simply made our lives more pleasant. Plants have provided paper and ink, chemicals that could kill or cure, and vital sustenance and stimulants. Some, such as barley, have been staples from the earliest times; others, such as oil palm, are newcomers to Western industry. We remain dependent on plants for our food, fuel, and medicines. As the wide-ranging and engaging stories in this beautifully illustrated book demonstrate, their effects on our lives continue to be profound and often unpredictable. <br><br> Autorid: Stephen A.

It may sound counterintuitive to say that the longer you let kids be kids, the better they will 'adult' in the future, but it's true.
