Book Synopsis The Butler's Guide to Running the Home and Other Graces by : Stanley Ager
Download or read book The Butler's Guide to Running the Home and Other Graces written by Stanley Ager and published by Potter Style. This book was released on 2012-11-06 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perched on an island off the shores of Cornwall, England, the soaring castle of St. Michael’s Mount has been home to the St. Aubyn family since 1647. For nearly thirty years, Stanley Ager, one of the most esteemed butlers of the twentieth century, ensured that St. Michael’s Mount was an impeccable place to live and a gracious and welcoming one for guests to visit. Revered by everyone from royalty to the estate staff, Stanley Ager considered it his calling to run a home gracefully and efficiently. Several of the men whom he trained at St. Michael’s Mount went on to serve in the Royal Household at Buckingham Palace and at British embassies throughout the world. But you don’t need a manor to benefit from Ager’s wisdom on homekeeping. This carefully detailed, charmingly illustrated, eminently useful volume offers important insights and techniques, including how to: Wipe a glass—or a chandelier—until it sparkles *** Fold napkins precisely—in six different ways *** Polish furniture—or silver—to a mirror finish *** Lay a beautiful table and serve a meal impeccably *** Brush, buff, and maintain any manner of clothes and footwear *** Fold and pack for a trip—for business or pleasure *** Select and pour wine *** Stage “impromptu” romantic picnics *** And, among other graces, open a door soundlessly, roll an umbrella perfectly, and iron a newspaper

Download or read book Film Studies written by Andrew Butler and published by Oldcastle Books. This book was released on 2012-02-03 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seeing a film is only half the fun. The real joy comes from arguing about it afterwards in the pub or on the journey home. But have you ever felt you needed to know a little more? Film Studies offers a concise introduction to the appreciation and study of film. This second edition begins with an examination of early film theory before analysing how films are put together - framing, performance, setting, costume and editing. It then explores a number of approaches taken to film over the last half century - the auteur theory, structuralism, psychoanalysis, feminism, and queer theory with a new chapter on Marxism. There are also overviews on stars, genres, national cinemas and film movements from around the world. With this book in your pocket you can gasp as directors break the 30° rule, marvel as Oedipus complexes are resolved, shudder as you become aware of your own voyeurism and discover how to tell your metteur en scène from your mise en scène. Going to the cinema may never be the same again...

In the increasingly competitive and mechanistic world in which we live, service is often the only differentiator between one provider and another. Having a competent butler is one way to develop that much-needed edge.Butlers & Household Managers, 21st Century Professionals is also useful for any man or woman who would like to use some of the butler's know-how to enhance his or her own life style. The many checklists in Butlers & Household Managers, 21st Century Professionals cover every kind of situation a butler deals with and are designed, in conjunction with the chapter they supplement, to walk a person successfully through those situations and so increase his or her confidence. No amount of copying actions mechanically will make a butler, however. It is necessary to understand the point of view of the butler to then handle any given situation as a butler would. That is why chapters are provided to explain the butler rationale.

Book Synopsis How to Notice by : Melissa A. Butler
Download or read book How to Notice written by Melissa A. Butler and published by . This book was released on 2021-10-12 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Slow down, notice more in small moments with small things. In How to Notice, Melissa A. Butler draws on over two decades of experience as an educator, leader, speaker, and facilitator of noticing-based practices to share a refreshing guide for expanded awareness, delight, and well-being. As whimsical as it is serious, How to Notice takes you on a slow and surprising journey that starts small (find an object, look closely, wonder about it), and steadily grows as you notice things you didn't quite expect and discover new layers of awareness deep inside yourself. Organized as a series of twenty small moments for practice over time, readers are invited to notice at their own pace and slowly integrate this into their daily lives. There's plenty of space to rest and reflect along the way, and the book includes supplemental material for extension and application. Reading How to Notice is an embodiment of play, with each moment of practice inviting readers to try something new, shift their perspective, wonder with whimsy, and find surprise in the smallest of things. How to Notice is an exploration of overlaps: small-big, whimsy-serious, poetic-practical, simple-deep, you-me, nothing-everything. The book is gentle in its balance of guided direction and open-ended play. The tone is accessible as it infuses light, easy, meandering energy into the ideas it shares. The text speaks into being the playful whimsy of its practices in ways that are subtle and surprising. Readers may bring any of their other practices with them (mindfulness, yoga, prayer, walking, meditation, relaxation, appreciation) and no prior experiences, practices, or understandings are required. No matter what you already know or already practice, this book offers a unique approach that will inspire you to explore and reimagine various practices in your life. How to Notice is a book for right now. This is a decade for play and reinvention, for serious work done lightly, for deep connection to the roots of ourselves and each other, for new ways of understanding energy and matter, for liberation of being, for transforming everything from a place of deep and radical alignment with the wholeness of who we are. Because How to Notice is a small book written in small moments to practice over time, it is a good gift book for friends, family, and clients. The book itself feels like a small object-a friend to hold and keep close. It's a gentle offering, a supportive nudge to help people find more lightness of being in their daily lives. This is a book for conversations and collaborative practice. Perfect for a book club, creative class, mindfulness community, or other small group looking for fresh methods and ideas to support ongoing practice towards deeper collective well-being. Ideal for well-being practitioners, therapists and coaches, educators, creatives, collectors and curators, caregivers, leaders. "An invitation to slowness." "A mental and spiritual retreat." "Joyful practice of observation." "Beautifully written and innocently approachable." "If you want to know yourself better and enjoy life more - grab and read this book..."
