Bloomsbury The Woodland Trust A Walk in the Woods Martyn Flora

Нет ничего прекраснее английского загородного дома летом. И никогда еще не было такого лета, как то бабье лето между двумя мировыми войнами, периода плавного упадка, когда солнце медленно садилось над Британской империей, а тени удлинялись на лужайках тысяч величественных домов • Реальная жизнь в загородном доме в 1920-1930-е годы не всегда была такой солнечной. То богатые, то обычные, благородные и порочные, но их тени становились все темнее. В «Длинных выходных» Адриан Тиннисвуд раскрывает правду о полузабытом мире, окутанном мифами и скрытом за жесткими губами и улыбками кинозвезды • Опираясь на сотни мемуаров, неопубликованные письма и дневники, на свидетельства очевидцев подпоясанных графов, несчастных наследниц и задиристых дворецких, The Long Weekend дает голос людям, населяющим этот мир, и показывает, как образ загородного дома тщательно охранялся обитателями над и под лестницей, и что реальность оказалась намного интереснее мечты

Meet Bradley Chalkers. He's the oldest child in the class. He tells enormous lies. He picks fights with girls. The teachers say he has 'serious behaviour problems'. And no one likes him ... Except Carla, the new school counsellor. She thinks Bradley is kind and generous, and she even enjoys his far-fetched stories • Carla knows that Bradley could change, if only he weren't afraid to try. Sometimes the hardest thing in the world is believing in yourself • A heartwarming story of bravery and acceptance from Louis Sachar, the bestselling author of Holes and Fuzzy Mud

A classic of travel writing, A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush is Eric Newby’s iconic account of his journey through one of the most remote and beautiful wildernesses on earth • It was 1956, and Eric Newby was earning an improbable living in the chaotic family business of London haute couture. Pining for adventure, Newby sent his friend Hugh Carless the now-famous cable – CAN YOU TRAVEL NURISTAN JUNE? – setting in motion a legendary journey from Mayfair to Afghanistan, and the mountains of the Hindu Kush, north-east of Kabul • Inexperienced and ill prepared (their preparations involved nothing more than some tips from a Welsh waitress), the amateurish rogues embark on a month of adventure and hardship in one of the most beautiful wildernesses on earth – a journey that adventurers with more experience and sense may never have undertaken

In An Appetite for Wonder Richard Dawkins brought us his engaging memoir of the first 35 years of his life from early childhood in Africa to publication of The Selfish Gene in 1976, when he shot to fame as one of the most exciting new scientists of his generation. In Brief Candle in the Dark he continues his autobiography, following the threads that have run through the second half of his life so far and homing in on the key individuals, institutions and ideas that inspired and motivated him. He paints a vivid picture, coloured with wit, anecdote and digression, of the twenty-five postgraduate years he spent teaching at Oxford. He pays affectionate tribute to past colleagues and students, recalling the idiosyncrasies of an establishment steeped in ancient tradition and arcane ritual while also recording his respect for the profound commitment to learning and discovery that lies at its core

The path to achieving Zen (a balance between the body and the mind) is brilliantly explained by Professor Eugen Herrigel in this timeless account • This book is the result of the author's six year quest to learn archery in the hands of Japanese Zen masters. It is an honest account of one man's journey to complete abandonment of 'the self' and the Western principles that we use to define ourselves. Professor Herrigel imparts knowledge from his experiences and guides the reader through physical and spiritual lessons in a clear and insightful way • Mastering archery is not the key to achieving Zen, and this is not a practical guide to archery. It is more a guide to Zen principles and learning and perfect for practitioners and non-practitioners alike
