Sinopsis

'Full of delightful stories...a wonderful insight into the British obsession with al fresco eating' - Travel Gourmet
From the peaks of the Himalayas to the historic grounds of Hampton Court, there's always a perfect spot for a picnic!
Anne Glenconner invites both old friends and new acquaintances to join her in The Picnic Papers. Featuring contributions from Bryan Adams, Graham Norton, Lorraine, Rupert Everett, Tina Brown, Freya Stark and many more, they explore the curious British obsession with dining alfresco, despite our famously unpredictable weather.
Picnics, it turns out, spark strong opinions. HRH Princess Margaret insisted on having hers at a proper table, while the indefatigable John Julius Norwich enjoyed 147 picnics over seven weeks in the Sahara. In stark contrast, writer James Lees-Milne simply loathed them.
Brimming with extraordinary tales and a few nostalgic recipes (though this is not a recipe book!) Lady Glenconner's The Picnic Papers is an invitation to a delightful feast of memories and culinary delights.
Disponible desde: 07/11/2024.

    Why Psychedelics Destroy Your Mind

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    There is a secret everyone in the psychedelic world knows but almost nobody admits. It haunts ceremony circles and whispers through integration groups. Every serious long-term user knows: there is always a last trip. Not a difficult journey or challenging night—a complete system failure. The one that breaks the psyche, shatters stability so completely that the person never touches these substances again. The one that tears open trauma they cannot integrate, induces panic or dissociation that persists for years, destroys their ability to trust their own mind. After that trip, they are done—not because they chose to stop, but because their nervous system finally said enough. In that moment, the illusion collapses. The medicine was never medicine. The awakening was never awakening. It was all just the nervous system being pushed beyond its limits until something broke. The psychedelic renaissance arrived with extraordinary promises: heal trauma that therapy could not touch, dissolve the ego that meditation takes decades to soften, reveal cosmic truths. But a drug is a drug. It does not matter what cultural packaging surrounds it or whether a shaman serves it. If a chemical forces consciousness into states it would not otherwise occupy, that is a drug.

    Tom Read Wilson is here to take us on a rip-roaring tour through some of the most astonishing and amusing words in the English language with Every Word Tells a Story. See how the English language evolved in this extraordinary exploration of the origins of everyday words. Full of funny stories and fascinating facts, Tom Read Wilson knows even the most ordinary-sounding word can have the most surprising story behind it!  Did you know, for instance, that:  The word ‘bloomers’ comes from Amelia Bloomer, who was a women's rights activist and owner and editor of the first U.S. newspaper edited by and for women, who wanted to move more freely in her knickers?  Or that the word ‘daisy’ comes from the Old English dæges eage, meaning ‘day’s eye’, because the petals of a daisy open at dawn and close at dusk?  The word 'easel' comes from the Dutch word 'ezel', meaning donkey, because both are depenable and suitable for carrying a load?  Or that English nicknames for police officers, 'bobbies' and 'peelers', both come from the names of Sir Robert Peel, British prime minister in the 1800s and creator of the first modern police force?  Each fascinating word is explored through a quirky, amusing story alongside the etymology, word origin and definition.  Paired with beautiful, characterful illustrations by Ian Morris, Every Word Tells a Story is a perfect book for young wordsmiths, encouraging kids and adults alike to have fun whilst learning about language.

    The Ageless Call to Serve -...

    An eighteen-year-old in the United States is still barred from buying alcohol, acquiring a pilot's license, or stepping into a casino. Yet, astonishingly, they can be enlisted in the military and deployed to a war zone. On the other side of the age spectrum, individuals over thirty-nine often encounter insurmountable obstacles to enlistment. 
     
     
     
    Break this mold and meet Lanny Snodgrass, who, at the age of sixty-three, became the oldest American to join the Army and complete officer basic training. It was 2003, the Iraq War had just started, and the Pentagon momentarily relaxed age requirements. 
     
     
     
    With around four decades of experience treating veterans and active-duty military personnel, many teenagers grappling with psychiatric illnesses such as PTSD, depression, and suicidality, Dr. Snodgrass bears unique insight into the perils of sending young soldiers to war. 
     
     
     
    Dr. Snodgrass poses critical questions about the limits of service and whether these age constraints should be maintained or relaxed. It's not an overstatement, then, to say that The Ageless Call to Serve presents a life-and-death proposition on how to build a more resilient, professional military force.
