A Century of Wisdom - Caroline Stoessinger - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

Alice Herz-Sommer, 1903-2014 The pianist Alice Herz-Sommer survived the Theresienstadt concentration camp, attended Eichmann''s trial in Jerusalem, and along the way befriended some of the most fascinating historical figures of our time, from Franz Kafka to Gustav Mahler, Leonard Bernstein and Golda Meir. A Century of Wisdom is her story: a testament to the bonds of friendship, the power of music and the importance of leading a life of maternal simplicity, intellectual curiosity, and never-ending optimism.

Letting the Cat Out of the Bag - Sion Rowlands - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

Letting the Cat Out of the Bag - Sion Rowlands - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

Trimming a parrot''s beak, emptying a dog''s anal glands and neutering a cat - then lunch - followed by some tricky horse dentistry, amputating a lamb''s leg and calming a distressed client... It''s all in a day''s work if you''re a vet: a delicate balance of managing animal welfare and ethics, educating people in pet ownership and aligning their expectations with real-life outcomes. As a job, it spans everything from managing the heartbreak of euthanasia, to informing owners that under no circumstances should they take their dog''s worming pills, even if they''re sure they have worms. During his twenty-five-year career, Welsh vet Siôn Rowlands has experienced almost every animal medical issue imaginable, from rescuing an injured horse from the edge of a cliff to moisturizing a baby elephant. He''s also witnessed ridiculous moments, surreal situations and the real toll it can take on a person. Frank, funny and moving in equal measure, Letting the Cat Out of the Bag is a rare glimpse behind the scenes of the uniquely pressurised world of being a vet.

Levant - Philip Mansel - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

Levant is a book of cities. It describes Smyrna, Alexandria and Beirut when they were windows on the world, escapes from nationality and tradition, centres of wealth, pleasure and freedom. Using unpublished family papers, Philip Mansel describes their colourful, contradictory history, from the beginning of the French alliance with the Ottoman Empire in the sixteenth century to their decline in the mid twentieth century. Smyrna was burnt; Alexandria Egyptianised; Beirut lacerated by civil war.

The Accidental Pilgrim - Maggi Dawn - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

The Accidental Pilgrim - Maggi Dawn - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

Pilgrimage has been an important practice in Christianity since the fourth century, but most people''s notion of pilgrimage is one of travelling to the site of an apparition, in search of inspiration or miracles. THE ACCIDENTAL PILGRIM shows that pilgrimage is not just a relic of Catholic history, but can remain a significant practice for twenty-first century Christians today.THE ACCIDENTAL PILGRIM gives a lively overview of the history of pilgrimage and the popular pilgrim routes, exploring the mix of spiritual and other motives that have inspired pilgrims both past and contemporary. It then explores how people both inside and outside the Church can rediscover pilgrimage within twenty-first century culture. Illustrated throughout, and written by one of the UK''s most popular theologians, THE ACCIDENTAL PILGRIM is a compelling invitation to all on the journey of faith.
