Five Nights in a Turtle - Not your ordinary Hawaiian vacation

Rosemary Rigsby, Lynne Melcombe

Sinopsis

When they thought about the ideal Hawaiian Vacation, they knew that they didn’t want ordinary. In their minds neither resorts nor hotels were places where they could truly relax as they did in their travel trailer or cabin rental. A Bed & Breakfast might have been more in line with what they liked best, but then they read that article. The one about camping the Big Island in a Volkswagen van. “That’s exactly our style,” they thought – something simple, uncomplicated, and fun. They had no idea that those checkboxes would be accompanied by “frightening” and “unexpected eye-opener” and “a good lesson in gratitude.” Their Hawaiian vacation was quite the ride, so hop on board and come along to see what they found out during “Five Nights in a Turtle.”

Conversations with Isaiah Berlin

Ramin Jahanbegloo

An illuminating and witty dialogue with one of the greatest intellectual figures of the twentieth century. Ramin Jahanbegloo's interview with Isaiah Berlin grew into a series of five conversations which offer an intimate view of Berlin and his ideas. They include discussions on pluralism and liberty as well as the thinkers and writers who influenced Berlin. This revised edition provided an excellent introduction to Berlin's thought. Ramin Jahanbegloo is an Iranian philosopher, who has taught in Europe and North America. In 2006 he was imprisoned for several months in Iran. He is currently teaching Political Philosophy at Toronto University. 'Though like Our Lord and Socrates he does not publish much, he thinks and says a great deal and has had an enormous influence on our times'. Maurice Bowra 'Berlin never talks down to the interviewer. Conversations here means the minds of the interviewed and interviewer meet on equal terms in language that is transparently clear, informed, witty and entertaining'. Stephen Spender 'He is wise without seeming pompous, witty without seeming trivial, affectionate without seeming sentimental'. Michael Ignatieff 'Isaiah Berlin... has for fifty years in this talkative and quarrelsome city (Oxford) been something special, admired by all and disliked by no-one... a benevolent super-don'.
