Hardcover. Zustand: Fair. New Edition. Octavo, 604 pages, white patterned cloth worn at joints, extremities, tips of spine, cracking hinges. Enhanced with 5+ pages of hand-written recipes. Ex libris Miss Wildina Jonson of Sterling IL. Also owned by Anny Pauline Jonsson Hokanson, of , Hendley, Furnas County, Nebraska. She emigrated from Sweden to Hendley in 1909 to marry Herman Hokanson. Hemmets Drottning means "Queen of the Home" in Danish. This work has contributions by over two hundred World's Fair lady managers, wives of governors, and other ladies of position and influence, from around mostly America's Midwest, whose signatures accompany their submitted recipes. This cookbook was published in 1899 by Fort Dearborn, then Svenska, then George F. Cram, and also by P.A.- Lindberg & Co. - all of Chicago. This is the Swedish translation of THE HOME QUEEN World's Fair souvenir cookbook from 1893 by the Cram Company. It has 2000 valuable recipes on cookery and hoiusehold economy, menus, table etiquette, toilette, etc. [ Bitting p. 493 ]. Note: this work has also been attributed to Juliet Corson - erroneously. Corson was the first teacher of cookery and dietetics in America. Indeed, this book is dedicated to her, in conjunction with her recognition by Mrs. Potter Palmer, at the World's Columbian Exposition, of Corson as the first American organizer of cooking schools and diet kitchens, and she was put in charge of New York's exhibit of cooking schools at the World's Fair. Note: the opening sections read like a Seventh-Day Adventist might write: indeed, Edson White was raised as an Adventist. HOWEVER, I still question the attribution to J. E. White, and can find no evidence for Mrs. M. L. Wanless - whoever she was - who is credited only with this book.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Sustainability is a vital sign of life. To live well and live long, sustainability is the way. In fact, it's the way of life. Sustainable life means living well and living long. To do this requires living whole - which means to stay healthy, be happy, grow wise, have sufficient material wealth, be creative, adaptable and resilient, preserve the earth, contribute to community and social harmony - all in a conscious and balanced way. Sustainability is the 'new success,' because it's sustainable success, and it's not a given. It's an ability-the 'sustain-ability'-that needs to be learned and exercised. In Sustainable Life, noted futurist James Wanless, Ph.D. examines the principles of personal sustainability as the means of living a healthy, whole life-achieving personal sustainability and contributing to global sustainability through our personal choices. The book is illustrated with images from Wanless' Sustain Yourself Cards, a perfect companion and tool for living your Sustainable Life. The last chapter of the book includes a Sustainability Action Journal for recording your insights and progress on the sustainability path.
