This book was just what I needed to spruce up an older bike I had bought at a garage sale. It is an older publication (1970s), so it might be less pertinent to newer bikes, I don't know. But for a beginner with only basic mechanical skills this was great!

An important and classic work of medieval history -- required reading for anyone doing graduate work in the area. Tough going for the casual reader.

A very thorough and detailed overview of the political development of the French Revolution. Not easy reading, but very useful for students, especially the chronology at the back.

I got it, opened it, and read it in one sitting. It is in someways dated -- specifics all date from the late 1970s. It is extreme in its suggestions: raising/killing meat rabbits in your cellar, making your own moonshine. However, as inspiration it is superb. The main points remain true. The secret to living on almost no money is to reduce your needs to the bare minimum and own a place to live -- no matter how shabby or "undesirable" if you do not have to pay rent or mortgage and have even a small space to garden you can be largely self-sufficient. The new afterward by the author is also enlightening in that it reveals that this was for her only a stage of her life from which she went on to live much more conventionally.

This is a great book. I am on my second copy of it! We all know what we should do: eat less, exercise more, control the clutter, organize our finances, our home, our life, on and on and on. But it just seems overwhelming. How do we start? By drinking 8 glasses of water a day, or so the authors of Simple Steps tell us.
This book breaks the "oughts" into very basic, simple steps, adding a few new ones each week until --- presto! your life really is better. Every time I read it I feel empowered to improve my life a little bit more.

Although now an older work, this is THE book on France during the Reign of Terror. It is scholarship of the highest quality, detailed, and fascinating.
