She also gently guides us, no matter how busy or overburdened we may be, to practice better self-care and self-acceptance.Hope exists when nothing else can. On the darkest of days Wild Hope will help you find more light.
Sur la crise
Écologie, économie, politique... Il n'est pas de domaine qui ne soit hanté par l'idée de crise. Et pourtant, ce mot galvaudé, synonyme d'incertitude et de rupture, s'est comme vidé de l'intérieur, jusqu'à devenir "grossier et creux". Avec clarté et sagesse, Edgar Morin tente de lui redonner un peu d'épaisseur et de faire émerger une conscience de la crise en analysant les bouleversements qui ont secoué le XXe siècle, pour réfléchir ensuite à notre entrée dans le XXIe siècle, entre chaos et renaissance. En envisageant la crise comme une sorte de laboratoire pour étudier in vitro l'évolution de la société, Edgar Morin interroge le destin de l'identité humaine et rend possible l'avènement d'une nouvelle vision du monde.

THREE MEN IN A BOAT & THREE MEN ON THE BUMMEL – WWC
Three Men in a Boat There are four of them - George, Harris, the writer himself and that dog, Montmorency - all participants in a boating expedition on the Thames. The difficulties and vicissitudes heaped upon these innocents develop to epic proportions as they experience the hazards of the great English waterway. Their problems are in no way diminished by the outrageous behaviour of Montmorency, who lays waste several riverside communities in the course of their journey. Three Men on the Bummel 'What is a bummel?' said George. 'How would you translate it?' 'A bummel,' I explained, 'I should describe as a journey, long or short, without an end: the only thing regulating it being the necessity of getting back within a given time to the point from which one started . . . ' After considerable indecision the bummel takes our heroes to Germany's Black Forest where they manage to disrupt the tranquil way of life usually enjoyed by the denizens, whose curious behaviour they closely observe and record in their account of this second epic journey. Even without that dog, chaos and mayhem reign supreme.

The Return of Sherlock Holmes (Wordsworth Collector’s Editions)
The Return of Sherlock Holmes... once again Mr. Sherlock Holmes is free to devote his life to examining those interesting little problems which the complex life of London so plentifully presents. Evil masterminds beware! Sherlock Holmes is back! Ten years after his supposed death in the swirling torrent of the Reichenbach Falls locked in the arms of his arch enemy Professor Moriarty, Arthur Conan Doyle agreed to pen further adventures featuring his brilliant detective. In the first story, x27The Empty Housex27, Holmes returns to Baker Street and his good friend Watson, explaining how he escaped from his watery grave.

We are also introduced to the one of the cruelest villains in the Holmes canon, the despicable Charles Augustus Milverton. As before, Watson is the superb narrator and the magic remains unchanged and undimmed.
