Leopold's essays on conservation will open the mind of any listener who gives them a chance. The first part uses essays for each of the 12 months to share the rhythm of life on his restored Wisconsin farmland, and uses the stories to branch into eye opening lessons on the history of man's use and abuse of it. The second part continues using stories from Leopold's experiences in wild places across North America to expand the lessons to a much wider view. The final part of the work seeks to lay out a better path for humanity, using solid logic and deep philosophical questioning.

A debut essay collection by the inimitable cultural critic Maris Kreizman—an introspective, searing account of the life experiences that have pushed this former “good Democrat” even further to the political left.

There are moments throughout our lives when we discover an artist, an album, a film, or a cultural artifact that leaves a lasting impression, helping inform how we understand the world, and ourselves, moving forward. In No Sense in Wishing, Lawrence Burney explores these profound interactions with incisive and energizing prose, offering us a personal and critical perspective on the people, places, music, and art that transformed him.

In this collection of essays, the author of Demon Copperhead and The Lacuna brings to us (out of one of history's darker moments) an extended love song to the world we still have. From its opening parable gleaned from recent news about a lost child saved in an astonishing way, the book moves on to consider a world of surprising and hopeful prospects ranging from an inventive conservation scheme in a remote jungle to the backyard flock of chickens tended by the author's small daughter.

A reader comments that I'm best at "fishing out strange stories from random people whom no one would otherwise hear about." These tales are only strange because each of our struggling life is unique. Yours, too, is freakish, but we're all still here, in whatever condition. Not just portraits, these are also depictions of places, so you'll be plunged into Philadelphia, Saigon, Vung Tau, Skopje, Shkoder, Pakse and Kracheh, etc. Any exoticism, though, is superficial. This book is your mirror.

Podría utilizar la expresión más frecuente: "sin duda", o buscar un sinónimo más contundente como "a bocajarro" o "a quemarropa", pero no he vacilado en poner título a este tomo con la carencia (sin) del sustantivo femenino "hesitación" del latín ("haesitatio, -ōnis"), que significa "duda", para confirmar que las reflexiones que guarda este libro son a las que he llegado después de valorar la existencia y el mundo que me rodea. Reflexiones - Convicciones - Ponderaciones - Crítica Social. *** Este libro se publica con fecha en mayo de 2025 para conmemorar el Día Internacional de ...

Crescere dei bambini non è affatto facile, e a volte perdere la pazienza sembra inevitabile. Ma, quando la situazione lo richiede, come fare a imporre divieti e limitazioni, e a sedare epici capricci, senza urlare e minacciare punizioni o senza diventare troppo permissivi? L'autrice ha trovato la risposta nel metodo dell'educazione gentile, che insegna ai genitori a crescere i bambini con l'amore e la serenità che serve a entrambi.

Depuis toujours, Claire Berest ausculte le point de bascule de nos vies, que ce soit dans l'espace du couple ou dans l'espace social. En 2024, elle a suivi les audiences du procès des viols de Mazan pour Paris Match. De cette expérience et de son obsession du fait divers, dans un subtil jeu de miroir entre introspection et enquête, elle signe un récit fascinant sur les coulisses du mal et sur une femme devenue l'emblème du combat féministe.
