The Great Lady: the notorious, glorious life of Emma, Lady Hamilton
by Amanda Elyot
Emma Hamilton is renowned as the real-life heroine of the greatest love story in British history. Now, Amanda Elyot breathes new life into this remarkable woman, in what might have been Emma's very own words. The impoverished daughter of an illiterate country farmer, young Emily Lyon sold coal by the roadside to help put food on the family's table. By the time she was fifteen, she had made her way from London nursemaid to vivacious courtesan, and continued a meteoric rise through society, rung by slippery rung, to become the most talked-about woman in all of Europe, mistress of many tongues, a key envoy in Britain's and Italy's war against the French, and confidante to a queen. This novel, inspired by her remarkable life, recounts Emma's many extraordinary adventures, the earth-shattering passion she eventually found with Lord Nelson, and how they braved the censure of king and country, risking all in the name of true love. $14.00
Not Buying It: my year without shopping
by Judith Levine
If you've ever contemplated cutting down on your consumerism but couldn't bring yourself to do it, Levine's volume allows you to witness and learn from this drastic experiment without going through the withdrawal yourself. Since giving up shopping entirely is impossible in North America (buying food requires money), the most interesting aspect of Levine's adventure is the process of defining necessity. High-speed Internet access, Q-tips and any soap fancier than Ivory, for example, are all ruled out as luxuries. With chapters divided by month, the book witnesses Levine's journey from enthusiastic experimenter in January to a still game but weary participant by the fall, as favorite luxuries run out and clothes become shabbier. As Levine trades in movies and restaurants for the public library system and dinner parties at home, she is forced to reflect on not only the personal indulgences she's become used to but also their place in defining her social space. Since this book is about exploring consumerism rather than economizing (although she does manage to save $8,000 by the end of the year), Levine investigates several anticonsumer movements-she joins her local Voluntary Simplicity group, participates in Buy Nothing Day and consults experts on issues of consumerism and conservation. Yet the most insightful aspect is Levine's account of her own struggle to keep down her day-to-day consumption of goods and to define the fine line between need and want. $14.00

The 10-Minute Rejuvenation Plan
by Carolinda Witt
The five Tibetan rites of rejuvenation have long been practiced by monks to slow aging, calm the mind, and strengthen the body. In The 10-Minute Rejuvenation Plan, Carolinda Witt simplifies these ancient rites and combines them with breathing, yoga, and exercise philosophies to create T5T—an accessible, modern adaptation that can be done by anyone, at any skill level, in just ten minutes a day.
T5T emphasizes the importance of the mind/body connection; the physical movement of each rite is a metaphor for the desired mental state. To help practitioners align the two, each posture is represented by one of the five elements:
Energy: The spin posture replenishes and energizes the mind and body.
Air: The leg raise posture promotes clear, focused thinking.
Water: The kneeling back bend posture unlocks the power of the subconscious mind.
Earth: The tabletop posture creates stability and balance.
Fire: The pendulum posture focuses on finding the motivation, courage, and energy to follow one’s intuition.
Quick and effective, T5T brings renewed energy, vitality, and strength to those who follow the program, making The 10-Minute Rejuvenation Plan a virtual fountain of youth. $17.95
