  This "passionate affirmation of the simple life, and joy in simple things" explores how walking influenced history's greatest thinkers—from Henry David Thoreau and Jack Kerouac to Gandhi and Nietzsche (Observer).In this French bestseller, leading thinker and philosopher Frédéric Gros charts the many different ways we get from A to B—the pilgrimage, the promenade, the protest march, the nature ramble—and reveals what they say about us.Gros draws attention to other thinkers who also saw walking as something central to their practice. On his travels he ponders Thoreau's eager seclusion in Walden Woods; the reason Rimbaud walked in a fury, while Nerval rambled to cure his melancholy. He shows us how Rousseau walked in order to think, while Nietzsche wandered the mountainside to write. In contrast, Kant marched through his hometown every day, exactly at the same hour, to escape the compulsion of thought. Brilliant and erudite, A Philosophy of Walking is an entertaining and insightful manifesto for putting one foot in front of the other.

  Matisse in Morocco - A Journey...

  In winter of 1912, Henri Matisse was struggling. Once the vanguard leader, the Parisian avant-garde now considered him passé. His important early collectors had stopped buying his work and were fully championing Picasso, and he had exhibited little in the last few years. In the face of Cubism that was now dominating the art scene, Matisse needed to get away from Paris in order to advance his distinctive artistic vision. Almost on a whim, he went to Tangier. Matisse had already been profoundly inspired by Islamic art, and was primed for his arrival in the Moroccan city where such art was integrated into everyday life. Despite challenges, the sojourn was such a success he returned the following winter, which would lead to even greater artistic triumph.Matisse in Morocco tells the story of the artist's groundbreaking time in Tangier—how it altered Matisse's development as a painter and indelibly marked his work for the next four decades. Through Koehler's research and travel, we experience Matisse's time in Tangier, the paintings and their subjects, his relationships with his wife Amélie and his collectors, and come to understand the impact Morocco had on his art. From Landscape Viewed From a Window, to Zorah on the Terrace, from Kasbah Gate to Moroccan Café, these works are now recognized as some of the most significant of Matisse's illustrious career.

  This short book was written in 1920, and in it Chesterton, with his usual wit and incisive logic, presents a series of articles defending marriage and indicating the weaknesses in divorce. He did this 16 years before the first Christian denomination in the world allowed its members to divorce. Till then Christendom was unanimous in standing against it. Chesterton saw clearly the trends of this time, and delivered this defense. (Summary by Ray Clare)

  Delia Akeley and the Monkey - A...

  On an East African hunting expedition in 1909, Delia Akeley, a forty-year-old American woman, casually captured a baby female monkey, never dreaming this act would overturn both their lives. Delia’s life was isolated and often lonely in an overpoweringly masculine world. She decided to name the monkey JT Jr and study her interactions with humans; a long-frustrated desire to adopt a child led her to also lose her heart to this lovable animal.This relationship with a feisty, intelligent Vervet unlocked Delia’s latent talents of research and observation, anticipating both Jane Goodall’s chimpanzee writings and Margaret Mead’s Samoan ethnographies. It illuminates much about human-animal relations and the tyranny of gender inequality by reinstating an obscured story of a dedicated amateur primatologist.Iain McCalman uses records, official and informal, to build a story of passionate love and hate among women, men, animals, and museums that predates our times but speaks to our present.

  You are not broken. You are not late. You are right on time. 
  Trusting yourself in a noisy world can feel like standing in a fitting room under bad lighting, trying on versions of yourself that never quite feel like you. 
  Trust Yourself Anyway is your permission to stop squeezing into lives that aren’t made for you and start listening to the quiet inner voice that already knows what fits. 
  Sally Miller has spent more than three decades designing clothes for girls and women. She knows what it means to watch someone light up when they finally see themselves clearly. And in this book, she brings that same magic to the inner world. 
  Through story, humor, and lived experience, Sally shares the moments that reshaped her life.  
  The risks and the reinventions.  
  The surprising clarity that comes from paying attention and letting go.  
  Woven through these stories is a simple framework rooted in the four pillars that have supported her own evolution. Trust, Awareness, Curiosity, and Letting Go. Together, they offer a way of growing peace, creativity, and the confidence to take more risks. 
  This isn’t a “fix yourself” book. 
  It’s a “remember who you are” book. 
  And it will remind you of what’s been true all along: 
  You’re not lost. You just stopped trusting yourself.
