Modern beer has little in common with the drink that carried that name through the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Looking at a time when beer was often a nutritional necessity, was sometimes used as medicine, could be flavored with everything from the bark of fir trees to thyme and fresh eggs, and was consumed by men, women, and children alike, Beer in the Middle Ages and Renaissance presents an extraordinarily detailed history of the business, art, and governance of brewing.

Advice to Little Girls is a humorous short story written by Mark Twain. The story is written in a tongue-in-cheek tone, and the title is meant to be ironic, as the story's content is actually not good advice for little girls to take. Twain's mock seriousness and absurdities mean that what often starts out as a reasonable suggestion for mutually compatible coexistence ends up being ludicrous.
