	Life in Tudor England was ordered in a very strict social hierarchy, and the divisions between the classes were firmly maintained: it was understood that everyone, apart from the monarch, served someone, and service was valued rather than denigrated. Drawing on a wealth of contemporary sources, Tudor expert Alison Sim investigates the role of service at every level of society, and provides an informative and entertaining account of the lives of the people who kept the wheels of daily life turning.

	Lawrence Wright presents an entertaining look at where we spend a third of our lives - bed. From ancient Egyptian couches lashed together with rawhide, through spectacular carved and curtained renaissance beds and austere American folding beds to modern divans, Wright offers a history, not only of the design and technology of beds, but also of bedchambers, sleeping arrangements and sundry topics including bed bugs, cradles, invalid couches, airbeds and hammocks, alarm clocks and famous victims, murdered in their beds.
