“Here is a welcome reminder that men can be gentlemen without turning into ladies—or louts.”—Michelle Malkin "Miner writes with wit and charm."—Wall Street Journal The Gentleman: An Endangered Species? The catalog of masculine sins grows by the day—mansplaining, manspreading, toxic masculinity—reflecting our confusion over what it means to be a man. Is a man’s only choice between the brutish, rutting #MeToo lout and the gelded imitation woman, endlessly sensitive and fun to go shopping with? No. Brad Miner invites you to discover the oldest and best model of manhood— the gentleman. In this tour de force of popular history and gentlemanly persuasion, Miner lays out the thousand-year history of this forgotten ideal and makes a compelling case for its modern revival. Three masculine archetypes emerge here—the warrior, the lover, and the monk—forming the character of “the compleat gentleman.” He cultivates a martial spirit in defense of the true and the beautiful. He treats the opposite sex with passionate respect. And he values learning in pursuit of the truth. Miner’s gentleman stands out for the combination of discretion, decorum, and nonchalance that the Renaissance called sprezzatura. He belongs to an aristocracy of virtue, not of wealth or birth, following a lofty code of manly conduct, which, far from threatening democracy, is necessary for its survival.

The Frugal Housewife, or Complete Woman Cook was the only cookbook published in the United States during the 50-year period before publication of American Cookery by Amelia Simmons—the first truly American cookbook. Originally published in the United Kingdom, Susannah Carter’s work was hugely successful, and after achieving best-seller status in that market, it was published for an American audience. Again, it was well-received, this time by colonial housewives. The first American printing actually included plates engraved by Paul Revere. The Frugal Housewife contains a fascinating array of recipes including: Baked Indian Pudding, Eel Pie, Peach Sweetmeats, Maple Beer, Method of Destroying the Putrid Smell which Meat Acquires during Hot Weather, and Spruce Beer out of Shed Spruce. The cookbook and author Carter are credited with influencing author Amelia Simmons, who wrote the first American-specific cookbook, but the The Frugal Housewife, or Complete Woman Cook is historically significant in its own worth as well for its recipes, social information, and time period when it was published. Later US editions included some Americanization for New World ingredients and methods. This edition of The Frugal Housewife, or Complete Woman Cook was reproduced by permission from the volume in the collection of the American Antiquarian Society, Worcester, Massachusetts. Founded in 1812 by Isaiah Thomas, a Revolutionary War patriot and successful printer and publisher, the Society is a research library documenting the life of Americans from the colonial era through 1876. The Society collects, preserves, and makes available as complete a record as possible of the printed materials from the early American experience. The cookbook collection includes approximately 1,100 volumes.

About the Book: Rudra, an enterprising, well-connected, successful businessman with a name and stature, steps in love with an established lawyer who is not able to acknowledge Rudra's love despite being able to fathom the depth of his emotions. Speaking about Omana, he enters into a zone of emotions and tells how a woman, with her mere existence, can change the lives of people around. The story revolves around Omana who is intelligent, virtuous, witty, beautiful and ambitious. The book, in every chapter, has stories of women who took life head-on, challenged their limits and evolved rather than getting succumbed to self-pity and blame game when they were tested by time. The story progresses as a conversation between Rudra and the most precious woman of his life, Omana, who presents her perspectives about life, people, situations and what can an individual learn. Her keen observation, empathy, compassion and care do not come in the way of her integrity and assertiveness. They both discuss about the value and meaning of life vis-à-vis the pressures and hypocrisy that every individual faces while living in this society. Rudra, deeply in love with Omana, kept finding opportunities to be with her. Sharing lessons of life, worth learning for every individual who seeks LIBERATION through the channel of FREE WILL, concluded his story by saying that “A Lady whose aura, beauty, dignity, pride, enthusiasm, knowledge and confidence combine together and make her Omana – The Complete Woman”.
