Sinopsis

 Anne de L'Enclos was born in Paris in 1615. She was the daughter of Monsieur de L'Enclos, a gentleman of Touraine, and of his wife, a member of the family of the Abra de Raconis of the Orléanois. 
 It would not be easy to find characteristics more diverse than those distinguishing this pair. Their union was an alliance arranged for them—a  mariage de convenance . Diametrically opposite in temperament, Monsieur was handsome and distinguished-looking; while the face and figure of Madame were ordinary. She was constitutionally timid, and intellectually narrow, devoted to asceticism, and reserved in manner. She passed her time in seclusion, dividing it between charitable works, the reading of pious books, and attendance at Mass and the other services of the Church. Monsieur de L'Enclos, on the other hand, was a votary of every pleasure and delightful distraction the world could afford him.

    Following the Irish coast in a clockwise direction, acclaimed ecologist Richard Nairn travels by boat, on foot and sometimes by air to visit the best remaining wild places, including islands, cliffs, beaches and dunes.
    The result is a unique mix of nature, history, science and a reflection on the author's personal experiences of exploring Ireland's coast. By viewing the Irish coastline from the sea, Richard gains a unique perspective on the island. And along the way, he recalls a lifetime spent studying nature.

    A brilliant fully illustrated biography that brings Terry Pratchett’s universally beloved Discworld to life as never before and pays tribute to an enduring creative collaboration. 
    “It's still magic, even if you know how it's done.” –Sir Terry Pratchett 
    Designing Terry Pratchett’s Discworld is a celebration of Discworld art and a brilliant homage to the decades-long collaboration between artist Paul Kidby and Sir Terry Pratchett that takes readers behind the scenes of one of the great creative partnerships. 
    It shows how the Discworld was brought to visual life—from the earliest sketches to the final magnificent masterpieces—and how Pratchett and Kidby were influenced by art and pop culture, fusing them into the Discworld universe. While Pratchett was the undisputed creative fountainhead, for three decades Kidby has been the artistic force taking the people, places, and pieces of man-eating luggage from Terry's ever-fertile imagination right into our world. 
    Packed with never-before-seen art and the stories behind it, it is a must-have for Pratchett fans of all ages. 
    Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

    DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL BOOK. 
    This is a summary, and it does not accompany the official 
    'Counting the Cost' by Jill Duggar, Derick Dillard, and Craig Borlase recounts the life of Jill Duggar, who grew up in the spotlight on the reality show '19 Kids and Counting.' In a family that adhered to strict patriarchal principles, Jill initially accepted her role as a daughter, wife, and mother without questioning it. However, as she matured and started her own family with Derick, they began to see the flaws in their upbringing. 
    While they initially tried to conform to their family's expectations, Jill and Derick eventually realized they couldn't ignore the red flags any longer. Their story is one of transformation and the power of truth. Through therapy, tears, and the strength they found in their faith, they decided to share their journey openly. 'Counting the Cost' is a compelling account of their path to healing through honesty and serves as an inspirational example of the importance of confronting one's past to build a better future.
