  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.

It highlights the impact of Christianity on Europe's cultural formation and the Christian leadership which spurred movements for political integration.​ 
  ​This book delivers a​ STARK ANALYSIS & TIMELY CHALLENGE TO MODERN EUROPEANS. Reissuing the warning of the war-time leaders and Christian intellectuals, this book challenges both religious and secular readers to rediscover the missing soul of Europe, before it is too late.

  Days and Days - A Story about...

  A revelatory adventure that leads two friends into the belly of the beast with the ’90s most influential U.K. punk band that changed so many lives
  		 
  It might seem odd — a punk band introducing poetry into someone’s life. But what if this lyrical influence was the reason you became a writer in the first place?
  		 
  Days and Days weaves together two stories. One is a tale of friendship and self-discovery that occurs during a backpacking adventure through England, Scotland, and Ireland. The other celebrates the highly influential yet underestimated UK band Leatherface, a group that The Guardian called “the greatest British punk band of the modern era.”
  		 
  Without so much as a single hostel booked, Chris MacDonald and his friend Jason cross the Atlantic. They sleep in train stations, endure a haunting on top of a volcano in Edinburgh, are driven out of Belfast by the IRA, and witness the mother of all storms. They also find themselves in the rehearsal space of their teenage punk idols, a building steeped in cultural significance for the Sunderland music scene.
  		 
  Days and Days is about the silver thread that connects us even after drifting apart. It’s a story about forgiveness and reflection, how beauty can be found within callous cladding. Leatherface band members, colleagues, and friends generously share personal insights that guide the reader into the melancholy, darkness, and humor that surround Sunderland’s best-kept secret.

  These essays are for the devotees of the Lord, for my spiritual master and His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami.  
  According to the Vedic tradition a word which does not glorify the Absolute Truth is like a place of pilgrimage for crows, but words that describe the glories of the unlimited Lord are praiseworthy, even though imperfectly composed. 
  I have to admit my struggles in this human form of life, but by the mercy of the Vaishnavas, Guru & Gauranga, I could taste a little nectar of spiritual life. For the pleasure of the parampara, I am writing my realisations, to please thee. 
  “By writing according to our realization we become more and more convinced and all doubts are destroyed.” 
  (Letter to Pusta Kṛṣṇa) 
  Over the last ten years writing about traveling to holy places and experiencing an inner revolution of the heart by associating with saintly persons, writing helped to shape and support this inner transformation. 
  “May Krishna bless you to improve more and more in writing the glories of our previous acaryas and the Lord. Be engaged in glorifying the parampara system and your life will be glorified automatically thousands of times.” (Letter to Acyutananda) 
  For the pleasure of my Guru I'd like to address difficult topics concerning the chanting of the Holy Name of the Lord, controlling the mind & senses, as well as spreading this matchless gift of Kṛṣṇa Consciousness, to help the coming generations to learn from mistakes and challenges.
