Summary:  "Based on the blog AskThePast.blogspot.ca here is the wisdom of the ages, including how to train your cat to do tricks -- as well as the fad diets, zany pickup lines, and bacon band-aids of the ages. Drawn from centuries of antique texts by historian and bibliophile Elizabeth P. Archibald, here is an eighteenth-century bedbug cure (sprinkle bed with gunpowder and let smolder), budget fashion tips of the Middle Ages (save on the clothes, splurge on the purse) and a sixteenth-century primer on seduction (hint: do not pass gas) and a 16th century method of making yourself invisible -- an entertaining guide to life from the people who lived it first. Elizabeth P. Archibald teaches in the Humanities department at the Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins University"--Provided by publisher.
