Nourishment For The Spiritual Warrior

There's nothing more likely to concentrate one's mind on survival than to be in a disabled transport aircraft, almost out of fuel, the cabin depressurised and the landing gear stuck. Especially when it happens at 80EsSouth above a vast, chill white desert that is Antarctica.Such an experience focused the author's mind on those life and death events from which some people walk away unscathed, while for others an unforgiving Antarctic is their tomb.In Antarctica, as Father Michael Smith SJ reflects for the author, it is not hard to see God at work in the beauty of creation in the mountain ranges, in the ice sheet, in the limitless blue sky, in the vastness of the continent, in the seals, in the penguins. Hundreds, if not thousands of people visit Antarctica each year in pursuit of science, exploration or carrying a tourist ticket. To their homes they return safely bearing memories of an awesome white continent. Life and Death in Antarctica is the other side of that story """ a gripping account of people since the days of the earliest explorers, who have had to summon their faith in a moment when survival hung in the balance. NB The interior of this book contains colour images and delivery may take up to six weeks.

No city has attracted so much literary talent, launched so many illustrious careers, or produced such a wealth of enduring literature as Paris. From the 15th century through the 20th, poets, novelists, and playwrights, famed for both their work and their lives, were shaped by this enchanting place. From natives such as Molire, Genet, and Anas Nin to expats like Henry Miller, Samuel Beckett, and Gertrude Stein, author David Burke follows hundreds of writers through Paris' labyrinthine streets, inviting readers on his grand tour. Unique in scope and approach, Writers in Paris crosses from the Right Bank to the Left and on to the Ile de la Cite as it explores the alleyways and haunts frequented by the world's most storied writers. Burke focuses not only on their writing, but on their passions, ecstasies, obsessions, and betrayals. Equally appealing to Francophiles and serious readers, this engaging book includes maps and more than 100 evocative photographs.
