Sinopse

When Mike Tomkies moved to a remote cottage on the shores of Loch Shiel in the West Highlands of Scotland, he found a place which was to provide him with the most profound wilderness experience of his life. Accessible only by boat, the cottage he renamed ‘Wildernesse’ was to be his home for many years, which he shared with his beloved German Shepherd, Moobli.  Centred on different landscape elements – loch, woodlands and mountains –Tomkies describes the whole cycle of nature through the seasons in a harsh and testing environment of unrivalled beauty. Vivid colours and sounds fill the pages – exotic wild orchids, the roar of rutting stags, the territorial movements of foxes, otters and badgers, an oak tree being torn apart by hurricane-force gales. Nothing escapes his penetrating eye.  His extraordinary insights into the wildlife that shared his otherwise empty territory were not gained without perseverance in the face of perilous hazards, and the difficulties and challenges of life in the wilderness are a key part of this remarkable book.

    A vivid account of what it’s like to experience depression—and practical advice for those who are dealing with this debilitating illness.   Do you know someone who’s depressed? Do you live with someone suffering from depression? Are you depressed? Would you like to learn strategies to cope with depression?    Being depressed is not a matter of personal weakness. One out of ten is afflicted with this illness. The other ninety percent know someone who struggles to cope—a spouse, partner, parent, sibling, child, relative, or friend. Family and friends want to help, but don't know how. This book blends a remarkable firsthand account of how depression feels, incorporating details from the author’s own journals, with practical strategies for those who suffer—or care about someone who does.   Overcoming depression takes work. Sometimes just getting through every minute of every hour of the day is all that can be done . . . but it can be done.

    The world's first auto-song-ography! Linn Lorkin sat at a piano so that she could read her memoir playing and singing as she went. The result is an audiobook that will make you laugh and cry ... and tap your feet. It’s the fabulously entertaining tale of a farm-girl from New Zealand, a country with no show-business culture whatsoever (at the time), who forges her own path and ends up playing and singing in some of the glittering capitals of the world. A colourful, funny, at times almost unbelievable, story – witness her first professional gig singing for prostitutes and sailors in Copenhagen and her stint in a dire Naples prison – is brought to life by this born performer’s own voice and snippets of her own songs. Prepare to fall in love with Linn Lorkin, her story and her music.
