Synopsis

This edition includes the following editor's analysis: Henry David Thoreau, the indomitable environmentalist


Originally published in 1863, "Excursions" is an anthology of several essays by American transcendentalist and environmentalist Henry David Thoreau. These essays represent Thoreau in many stages of his writing career, ranging from 1842 to 1862.
The anthology was published posthumously and contains an introduction entitled "Biographical Sketch" in which fellow transcendentalist Ralph Waldo Emerson provides a description of Thoreau.

The collection, other than R. W. Emerson's biography of Thoreau, contains nine of Thoreau’s most engaging and popular essays: Natural History of Massachusetts, A Walk to Wachusett, The Landlord, A Winter Walk, The Succession of Forest Trees, Walking, Autumnal Tints, Wild Apples, and Night and Moonlight.

    Coleen Nolan – singer, TV host and agony aunt is known for her warmth, straight-talking and compassion. But her empathy and warmth have been earned the hard way – formed by her own deeply-felt experiences of loss and grief. 
    Inspired by her own life, and her podcast on grief, Coleen takes readers on a heartfelt and helpful journey through how to cope with all kinds of grief, drawing not just on her own thoughts and feelings, but on those of friends and celebrities she’s interviewed, who share their personal takes on loss and life after it. By turns moving, courageous and inspiring, each chapter also features a poem to make you smile, think or shed a tear. 
    Written with accessibility, heart and fellow-feeling, this is not a guidebook but a companion, a friendly word in the darkest times, packed with advice, understanding and hope – a book to say you’re not alone. 
    Coleen Nolan, a bestselling author, presents a heartfelt memoir that explores the intricate dynamics of family and relationships in the face of death. This Sunday Times bestselling book is a beacon of hope for those navigating the path of bereavement, offering a hand to hold in the darkest of times.

    Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832) was an English jurist, philosopher, and legal and social reformer. He was a political radical and a leading theorist in Anglo-American philosophy of law. He is best known as an early advocate of utilitarianism and animal rights who influenced the development of liberalism. The essay Offences Against One's Self (c. 1785), argued for the liberalisation of laws prohibiting homosexuality. The essay remained unpublished during Bentham's lifetime for fear of offending public morality. It was finally published for the first time in 1931. (Wikipedia) This recording was catalogued on 28th July 2007, the 40th anniversary of the coming into force in the UK of the Sexual Offences Act 1967, which decriminalised male homosexuality for the first time (though with restrictions).
