The 1918 Fanny Farmer CookbookThe 1918 Fanny Farmer Cookbook

This classic American cooking reference includes 1,849 recipes, including everything from “after - dinner coffee” - which Farmer notes is beneficial for a stomach “overtaxed by a hearty meal” - to “Zigaras à la Russe,” an elegant puff-pastry dish. The 1918 edition was the last edition of the cookbook authored completely by Farmer.

Scaramouche by Rafael SabatiniScaramouche by Rafael SabatiniScaramouche by Rafael Sabatini (1875-1950)

Scaramouche is a romantic adventure and tells the story of a young aristocrat during the French Revolution. His successive endeavors as a lawyer, politician, actor, lover, and buffoon lead his enemies to call him “Scaramouche” (also called Scaramuccia, a roguish character in the commedia dell’arte), but he impresses many with his elegant orations and precision swordsmanship. The later film version includes one of the longest, and many believe, best swashbuckling sword-fighting scenes ever filmed.

The Elegant Universe: Superstrings, Hidden Dimensions, and the Quest for the Ultimate TheoryIn a rare blend of scientific insight and writing as elegant as the theories it explains, Brian Greene, one of the world's leading string theorists, peels away the layers of mystery surrounding string theory to reveal a universe that consists of 11 dimensions where the fabric of space tears and repairs itself, and all matter-from the smallest quarks to the most gargantuan supernovas-is generated by the vibrations of microscopically tiny loops of energy.
