Book excerpt: “Easily the most thorough and best-grounded account of the coal-based system of heating in the nineteenth-century United States . . . authoritative.” —The New England Quarterly Home Fires tells the fascinating story of how changes in home heating over the nineteenth century spurred the growth of networks that helped remake American society. Sean Patrick Adams reconstructs the ways in which the “industrial hearth” appeared in American cities, the methods that entrepreneurs in home heating markets used to convince consumers that their product designs and fuel choices were superior, and how elite, middle-class, and poor Americans responded to these overtures. Adams depicts the problem of dwindling supplies of firewood and the search for alternatives; the hazards of cutting, digging, and drilling in the name of home heating; the trouble and expense of moving materials from place to place; the rise of steam power; the growth of an industrial economy; and questions of economic efficiency, at both the individual household and the regional level. Home Fires makes it clear that debates over energy sources, energy policy, and company profit margins have been around a long time. The challenge of staying warm in the industrializing North becomes a window into the complex world of energy transitions, economic change, and emerging consumerism. Readers will understand the struggles of urban families as they sought to adapt to the ever-changing nineteenth-century industrial landscape. This perspective allows a unique view of the development of an industrial society not just from the ground up but from the hearth up. “This smartly written and well-informed book focuses on a subject that very few people think about—the history of home heating in America.” —Choice

Download or read book Home Cooked & Heart Warming written by Ashleigh Levin and published by Penguin Random House South Africa. This book was released on 2018-05-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ashleigh Levin knows exactly how to appeal to a younger generation of would-be cooks, first timers venturing on their own in the kitchen, who want to impress their loved ones and friends with delicious meals that don’t require a formal culinary training to achieve. At the same time, competent cooks will find a wealth of ideas to inspire even the most jaded of palates. Ashleigh’s own love affair with food started in her grandmother’s kitchen when she was about the same height as the kitchen table. As she says of one occasion, ‘In that second of pancake-fuelled ecstasy, I saw for the very first time the utter perfection of food and its ability to bring people you love together...’ With her conversational writing style, in Home Cooked & Heart Warming Ashleigh will take you on a journey that’s filled with memories, delicious flavours, lots of butter and the freedom to try your own tweaks, to make sure the recipes work for you, and never forgetting a relaxing glass of wine to accompany it all. The titles of the recipes are evocative and tell you all you need to know or tease you to try out an intriguing idea, for instance Restorative butternut and ginger soup with chickpea sprinkles, Fall-apart lamb, My mother’s sticky chicken, Dirty ballerina Pavlova and Sunday funday martinis.
