The Gift of Addiction

'... (Steven's) survey of so large a repertoire in so short a space (70 pages) is brilliant.' Early Music Review  'The first part of this book provides an absorbing biography of Tomkins, setting his life into fascinating historical context.  The second and third parts include major essays on Tomkins by Denis Stevens, Bernard Rose, Peter James and David Evans.  The result is a successful piece of collective work that properly places Tomkins and his achievements in his time and enables readers to reassess him properly in relation to his elders and contemporaries.' British Music Society  '... magnificiently research... a beautifully produced and sympathetic book, chock-full of fascinating material, shrewd analysis, and intriguing surmise. The layout is superb, with beautifully reproduced illustrations. Heartily recommended.'  Church Times  '... fascinating biography... Boden's history alone makes a very good read... The period of tomkins' life covers the most turbulent era in English history which serves as a dramatic background to a mere story of one musician's life.  Boden tells the tale with some excitement and drama.' The Delian  'All in all, [...] devotees of Tomkins have been well served by Anthony Boden's book, and he is to be congratulated for his determination and industry as author, editor and compiler' Early Music  '... the first new full-length biography of the composer in almost half a century...Using an impressive range of archival documents and early modern publications in a wide range of fields, Boden establishes Tomkins as a member of the growing and increasingly respectable class of educated artisans during the golden age of English literature and drama, and provides a fascinating glimpse into late sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century English choral establishments of the sort in which he, his father, and three half-brothers spent their lives...this is a very useful and engaging book for scholars of early modern England and for general readers with

From the reviews:

"The book takes upon itself a fascinating and challenging task, that is, to describe the exigencies and difficulties involved in developing this type of system, and the specific technical and management areas that need to be evaluated and adapted to achieve this goal. … I would recommend this book for an academic library … . It is clear that this book has value to the practitioner … ." (Mordechal Ben-Menachem, Computing Reviews, December, 2006)

Der vorliegende Band enthält zwei lateinische Regeln für Frauenklöster: die Regula Donati, die auf der Basis älterer Klosterregeln eine komplexe neue Regel formuliert, sowie den als "Fragment einer Nonnenregel" (CPPM II 3637) bekannten Text, der zwei voneinander unabhängige, irrtümlich unter Columbans Namen zusammengestellte Passagen umfasst. Die Texte werden in kritischer Edition und mit ausführlicher Einleitung präsentiert.

The Last Of Summer

„Ein Rezeptbuch voller Überraschungen.“
Ⓒ Marianne Dämmer, Waldeckische Landeszeitung

„Dieses Buch ist ein Gegenentwurf zum aufwendigen Kochen mit exotischen Zutaten: Hier kommen heimische (am besten regionale) und saisonale Zutaten auf den Tisch. Der Geschmack steht im Vordergrund, umso schöner, wenn die Zubereitung einfach ist und oft gar nicht lange braucht. Und bei den über 100 Rezepten kommt keine Langeweile auf, im Gegenteil: Erstaunlich, dass all diese Gerichte ohne weitgereiste Früchte auskommen und aus heimischen Gefilden kommen. Dieses Buch und seine Rezepte tun einfach "gut", den Leser*innen, den Köch*innen und auch den Erzeuger*innen. (…) Die vielen Farbfotos unterstreichen den positiven Eindruck: sehr gelungen. Eine attraktive Ergänzung, denn die Lust aufs Land ist ungebrochen.“
