This book serves as a general introduction to the many aspects of keeping domestic chickens, examining their likely origins and relationship with their closest relatives among the gamebirds, while sections on bird biology and behavior highlight the similarities and differences between chickens and other birds, providing insights into the reasons why they behave as they do. Advice is also given on choosing a chicken, and where to obtain one, and housing, feeding, health, and general care is considered. A comprehensive description of many of the world's most popular breeds is also provided, which will simplify the task of choosing chickens of your own.

Home canning isn't quite the necessity it was 100 years ago. But there has lately been a shift towards growing our own food, reducing waste and becoming more self-sufficient, and home preserving would seem to go hand-in- hand with these not-so-new ideas, while the health conscious among us, and those with food allergies or special dietary requirements, will find they can control or eliminate the sometimes unnecessary additives found in commercially prepared foods.There are many ways of preserving food, with freezing probably the newest and simplest of these methods. But there are older and possibly more satisfying techniques which are also touched upon in this book, from jam and jelly-making and pickling, ice cream and sorbet-making.

Over the years, the traditional Irish pub has gone through something of a renaissance, due largely to increased tourism, with many pubs since the 1970s having been renovated to satisfy the expectations of foreign travelers. Consequently, they are now more striking, and possibly more comfortable, with brightly colored facias and signage, elaborate bars with shiny beer pumps and cozy fireplaces; many are now venues where traditional Irish music is performed. Publicans have also embraced the idea of serving food, commonly referred to as "pubgrub," to hungry travelers, while others style their establishments "gastro pubs" with a mission to publicize the virtues of Ireland's culinary heritage. This celebration of Irish food takes its inspiration from the hearty, uncomplicated food that is most typical of the Irish pub.

The Green Monster in Boston, the ivy in Chicago, the center field hill in Houston, the Bermuda Triangle in Miami, the convertible roof in Seattle, the baggy in Minneapolis, and the cove in San Francisco: baseball is unique among American sports. Football, basketball, and hockey are played on identical fields, courts, and rinks. Only in baseball does the park define the game.This book tries to highlight those differences. It is not a wordy, text-based account of baseball stadiums; nor an encyclopedic telling of their history. Instead, it is a picture-packed look at what makes the current Major League parks, and some of the famous old ones, so special. It highlights what it is like to sit in the stands, stretch in the seventh inning, and watch the sun go down over a cityscape.
