Rediscover the extraodinary power of nature and the British wilderness, from award-winning naturalist and author Richard Mabey In the last year of the old millennium, Richard Mabey, Britain's foremost nature writer, fell into a severe depression. The natural world – which since childhood had been a source of joy and inspiration for him – became meaningless. Then, cared for by friends, he moved to East Anglia and he started to write again. Having left the cosseting woods of the Chiltern hills for the open flatlands of Norfolk, Richard Mabey found exhilaration in discovering a whole new landscape and gained fresh insights into our place in nature. Structured as intricately as a novel, a joy to read, truthful, exquisite and questing, Nature Cure is a book of hope, not just for individuals, but for our species. 'A brilliant, candid and heartfelt memoir...how he broke free of depression, resh

Women and the Art of Brilliant Speaking Forfatter: Groskop, Viv Sprog: Engelsk Antal sider: 0 Udgivelsesår: 2018 INCLUDES A NEW INTRODUCTION AND A BONUS CHAPTER ON 'HOW TO OWN THE ZOOM' 'Full of helpful concepts... I'm finding it very useful.' Philippa Perry 'Plenty of tips and tricks.' Sunday Times Most books about public speaking don't tell you what to do when you open your mouth and nothing comes out.

Rowling's understated speaking style, to Virginia Woolf's leisurely pacing and Oprah Winfrey's mastery of inner conviction, what is it that our heroines do to m

Why are all forecasters con-artists? Why should you never run for a train or read a newspaper? This book is all about Black Swans: the random events that underlie our lives, from bestsellers to world disasters.
