Beschreibung

"Narrative of the Voyage of H.M.S. Rattlesnake" is a historical account of the expedition around the Australian coast, penned by Captain Owen Stanley, a British Royal Navy officer and surveyor. In December 1846, Stanley sailed from Portsmouth with the naturalists Thomas Huxley, John MacGillivray, and artist Oswald Walters Brierly on board. Stanley was in charge of Rattlesnake. In November 1847, he arrived at Port Curtis on the Australian coast and, after surveying the harbor, prepared a detailed description of it. In 1848 he continued north to survey New Guinea, and in June of that year, he joined Edmund Kennedy's expedition to the Cape York Peninsula.

    As a spiritual pilgrim for more than half a century, Jon Sweeney has practiced with teachers of many religious traditions. He's gone looking for wisdom, beauty, and truth wherever it can be found. But recently he's found himself learning closer to home—from the teacher-cats he lives with. 
     
     
     
    What he discovered is that our greatest spiritual teachers are at our feet. Literally. They are the cats we love and treasure. Nearly 60 million cats live in US households today. These feline teachers have much to offer us about living in the present, loving unconditionally, approaching life with a sense of playfulness, and trusting others, all the while being independent spirits. 
     
     
     
    Jon Sweeney, beloved scholar and author of The Pope's Cat and numerous books about Saint Francis, offers a playful, gentle, informed meditation on the many spiritual truths and practices our feline companions provide if we but pause and pay attention.

    THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER. 
    _ 
    Hope taught me the meaning of life, Tina taught me the meaning of love.  
    It's not everyday you meet a golden retriever in Thailand. 
    When Niall came across a dog shackled to a short chain and in a poor state of health something reminded him of his personal battle with addiction. He knew he had to rescue her immediately – golden retrievers are rare in Thailand – but there was just something about this dog in particular that told him she was destined for more. 
    He named her Tina, and what she did next is an incredible tale of survival, hope and love. Despite her terrible treatment at the hands of humans, she refused to distrust them or feel sorry for herself, and only opened her heart wider – always with a grin (yes dogs can smile) and a reassuring wag of her shaggy yellow tail. 
    From the minute Tina was free of her chains, she got on with what needed to be done, inspiring a dog hospital to be built and named after her and helping dogs from all over the world – whether they're street dogs from Thailand or rescue pups in Montana. The movement behind Tina has not stopped. 
    This is her story. 
    For fans of Cheryl Strayed (Tiny Beautiful Things), Craig Borlase (A Mission Without Borders), Dean Karnazes (Ultramarathon Man), Alex Tresniowski (Saved), and Joe Cusack (Please Don't Leave Me).
