Before Madame Bovary. Before Sentimental Education. Before the ferocious self-discipline that made Flaubert one of the most exacting writers who ever lived — there was a teenager in Rouen, writing in secret, at full intensity, with no audience and no restraint. This collection gathers Flaubert's earliest works, written between the ages of fourteen and twenty-one, and published here together for the first time.

The improvement worked. That is the problem. In most organizations there is at least one object that somebody made. A piece of cardboard taped beside a monitor. A wooden block with a notch in it. A spreadsheet one person built and has maintained for eleven years, that nobody asked for, that four departments now depend on. Nobody authorized it. It appears in no documentation. And it works. This book is about one of them: a plywood board with four columns of pegs, made by a machinist with nineteen years in one plant, thrown out at the end of a three-day improvement event that did everything ...

Twenty thousand years ago, women were making and wearing the first clothing created from spun fibers. In fact, right up to the Industrial Revolution the fiber arts were an enormous economic force, belonging primarily to women. Despite the great toil required in making cloth and clothing, most books on ancient history and economics have no information on them. Much of this gap results from the extreme perishability of what women produced, but it seems clear that until now descriptions of prehistoric and early historic cultures have omitted virtually half the picture.
