This book contains many stories that have a spiritual take on gardening that can connect you to a deeper, older archetypal rhythm, the rhythm of nature and the earth herself, something collective that we grasp when we put our hands deep into the soil - or should that be soul? We can learn to approach a garden as a pilgrim on a journey of discovery, not as a missionary who knows everything beforehand. The garden then becomes this beautiful earth in which each of us lives and grows in a continuing journey of exploration.
This book challenges, with several powerful arguments, some of our deepest beliefs about rationality, morality, and personal identity. The author claims that we have a false view of our own nature; that it is often rational to act against our own best interests; that most of us have moral views that are directly self-defeating; and that, when we consider future generations the conclusions will often be disturbing. He concludes that moral non-religious moral philosophy is a young subject, with a promising but unpredictable future.
Blurring the boundaries between reporting, allegory and fantasy, Will describes his early search for spiritual wisdom, his unexpected encounter with a Indian fakir, and how the task given to him by the mysterious Indian led to meetings with an array of amazing people in his quest to uncover the truth he sought. These encounters included an early awakening from a gay Buddhist, initiation into a Celtic magic circle, being opened to esoteric truths by a follower of Subud and a Sufi initiate, seeing the world as taught by a Shaman, an apprenticeship in practical Kabbalah, and an apparently chance meeting with a General who supplied the final key.

Derek Parfit presents the third volume of On What Matters, his landmark work of moral philosophy. Parfit develops further his influential treatment of reasons, normativity, the meaning of moral discourse, and the status of morality. He engages with his critics, and shows the way to resolution of their differences. This volume is partly about what it is for things to matter, in the sense that we all have reasons to care about these things. Much of the book discusses three of the main kinds of meta-ethical theory: Normative Naturalism, Quasi-Realist Expressivism, and Non-Metaphysical Non-Naturalism, which Derek Parfit now calls Non-Realist Cognitivism. This third theory claims that, if we use ...
A Load Of Bull is the true story of an Englishman finding his way in one of the most perplexing, anarchic and exuberant cities on earth: Madrid. In the late 80's Tim Parfitt blagged his way into a job at Condé Nast in London and, from there, into a six week stint in Madrid to help launch Spanish Vogue. Six weeks turned into nine years, and helping out turned into running the company. Tim Parfitt never saw a Costa and he certainly never bought an olive grove. Instead, he discovered a booming city in hedonistic reaction to years of facism, where sleep was something you only did at work. Tim Parfitt's rise from unwanted guest to paparazzi pursued mover in Spain's glamorous social scene is a hi...
Writing in Response is a flexible, brief rhetoric that offers a unique focus on the critical practices of experienced readers—analysis and reflection—the skills at the heart of academic writing.
