Feather Bed and Shive of Cheese records hundreds of names of fields and woods in a group of villages at the south-west foot of Lake Windermere. The authors have used archives and local tradition to build up a fascinating picture which echoes both ancient and modern farming and woodland working practices.Hatter Parrock, Justice Scar, The Prison Field, Bell Intake, Sourbutts, Washhouse Hill and the Cuckoo Bridge are just some of the names of fields, woods, and minor landscape features documented by the authors. As volunteers on Mapped Histories - a local history initiative within the community-led programme Rusland Horizons in South Cumbria - they became fascinated by what was revealed behind the names and how this wealth of detail illuminated the past and present.Sophia, Pat and Liz built on their original survey to write this book, explaining the archive work and interpretation of names. Short histories of the villages of Finsthwaite, Lakeside, Stott Park and Ealinghearth are included, with photographs and 50 maps pinpointing every field and wood.

I will need a copy or 2! We cleaned my son's room from top to bottom and now he is almost obsessive about keeping it that way. " -Leigh Ann "I just wanted to let you know of something else I've gotten out of your book. This one, I never heard before and I used it yesterday! I put my pillow cases facing inward so the outward edges look smooth. I LOVE it! I never even thought of that before! I always put the ends facing out because of the "pretty" pattern on the end of them, but it looks really nice with the closed edges out! Thanks so much! Also, I keep finding myself saying, "OK, you have five minutes, what can you do?" I've always said in the past "I've only got five minutes, so I don't have time!" You changed my entire view there! You can do A LOT in just five minutes! Thanks Julie for allowing me to read the book! It's a great book and I only wish I would have had it when I first got married, 21 years ago!" -Tracy

Most people don't know about or think about Minimalism and how it's the lifestyle of the future but the ideology that the media or minimalist are pushing forward is a lifestyle of De-consumption "We'd all be better off if we consumed less" making it sound like its weight loss or something. The Ideology or the take on it that I would like to show is that De-consumption is not the correct vision or definition for Minimalism BUT having a lifestyle that can adapt to using multipurpose is what Minimalism truly is. Written for readers seeking ways to reduce clutter, and their footprint on society, and based on the author's own lifestyle change, the book advocates maximizing the use of multipurpose. Harris challenges readers to reevaluate their consumption by focusing on the things they use most often in their daily lives and how those items might serve multiple purposes.
