Grandma's Antique Recipes came about after I was left an absolute gem of a book handwritten by Grandma Sarah, that was essentially a collection of recipes, hints and remedies that she used in her everyday life. To me, it gives a real insight into the lives of women of Grandma Sarah's era, and to try and give some context of this bygone age, I wanted to set this amongst some social history surrounding her adopted town of Bolton. Having admired (and often used) this old, well-thumbed book for many years, my urge to get this out to people beyond my close family and friends has never really gone away. I have tried to make this nostalgic little book an interesting read and I hope you enjoy the contents of the book as much as I have enjoyed writing it. Patricia Matthews
"Art historian Patricia Mathews examines the artistic, social, and scientific discourses of fin-de-siecle France. Along the way, she illuminates the Symbolist construction of a feminized aesthetic that nonetheless excluded female artists from its realm. She analyzes contemporary cultural assumptions as well as theories such as social Darwinism, biological determinism, and degeneracy."--BOOK JACKET.

Nature, Aesthetics, and Environmentalism: From Beauty to Duty addresses the complex relationships between aesthetic appreciation and environmental issues and emphasizes the valuable contribution that environmental aesthetics can make to environmentalism. Allen Carlson, a pioneer in environmental aesthetics, and Sheila Lintott, who has published widely in aesthetics, combine important historical essays on the appreciation of nature with the best contemporary research in the field. They begin with the scientific, artistic, and aesthetic foundations of current environmental beliefs and attitudes. Then they offer views on the conceptualization of nature and the various debates on how to properly and respectfully appreciate nature. The book introduces positive aesthetics, the belief that everything in nature is essentially beautiful, even the devastation caused by earthquakes or floods, and the essays in the final section explicitly bring together aesthetics, ethics, and environmentalism to explore the ways in which each might affect the others.
