Paperback. Condición: Good. An Indian princess left behind contributions to a varied legacy which is still a vibrant part of our lives. It can be seen in the Chandni Chowk bazaar-street of Delhi, the commercial port-city of Surat in Gujarat, the gardens of Kashmir, the Jama Masjid of Agra, and in her poetry and scholarly works on Sufi saints. Nausheen Jaffery brings to us the story of the remarkable Jahan Ara Begum (1614-1681). Entrusted with responsibilities at a very young age, her artistic and literary accomplishments, power and piety have ensured her a place in history. In the absence of comprehensive archives, research on early modern India tended to hover around the old staples of administration, commerce and political intrigue. The individuals holding the strings were seldom three-dimensional. Only in the last two decades has this changed and women actors have been identified, mostly by women authors. We now get to know of highly educated and confident Mughal women, equally at home in administration and in negotiating commercial deals, in visualizing noble architecture and gardens. Nausheen Jaffery's is one of the earliest biographical studies of Jahan Ara, and an all-encompassing one with Jahan Ara in all her avatars. In her, we see Babur's love for gardens, Shahjahan's love for architecture, Akbar's eclectic spiritualism, Akbar's and Jehangir's interest in the world beyond India, and Humayun's fascination with mysticism. In her we see Gulbadan's literary flair, Nur Jahan's political astuteness, Mumtaz Mahal's masterful domestic management.…

Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout, NOT an ex-lib edition:\nForget about expensive branded products for cleaning, cooking, health and beauty. You can create your own traditional, 'old-fashioned' remedies and solutions using simple and safe ingredients from around the home and all for just pennies. My grandma kept her home spotless, her cooking couldn't be beaten and even in her 80s her complexion was that of someone 30 years younger. Grandad had the best garden for miles around, he was able to fix just about anything with bits and bobs from the garage and they both lived well into their 90s with hardly an illness to their name. In those days, they didn't have all the over-the-counter medicines, branded cleaning products, readymade convenience meals, DIY and garden centres that we have today. Everything was done the traditional simple way using tips and tricks that had been passed down the generations. In the 'disposable age' we now live in, many of these tips and tricks have been lost, so that's why I've spent the last four years searching for the very best traditional household tips and have now compiled them in one large easy to follow compendium. Here are just a few of the amazing tips revealed in The Traditional Household Handbook. Special bonus edition. Includes A-Z of Health & Healing Juices.…
