Avant de découvrir le Dalaï-Lama et de devenir nonne, Dominique G. Marchal a eu mille vies. Rien ne laissait présager que cette femme née en Belgique en 1944, adepte des sports extrêmes et aventurière dans l'âme, multipliant les histoires d'amour les plus mouvementées, aurait une telle révélation spirituelle. À quarante-six ans, attirée par le bouddhisme, elle s'inscrit au Centre d'études tibétaines de Bruxelles : là, elle trouve la sérénité tant recherchée et les réponses aux questions qu'elle se pose depuis toujours. En 1989, elle rencontre le Dalaï-Lama qui, dix-sept ans plus tard, l'ordonnera nonne bouddhiste. Partageant les combats de Matthieu Ricard, fondatrice de la célèbre clinique de Shéchèn, elle raconte ici le parcours extraordinaire qui l'a menée de Bruxelles à Genève, New York, Sion, São Tomé, Lisbonne, Paris et enfin Katmandou, où elle vit aujourd'hui.
Une étonnante leçon de vie, d'optimisme et d'engagement. | null | 2/20/2014 | {"name":"Dominique G.

It gives instant access to a wealth of information about commonly-used homoeopathic remedies, symptom pictures and a Materia Medica, and is a must-have accompaniment to your home remedy kit.
Homoeopathic remedies have a long history of effective use for the self-treatment of everyday, simple ailments such as bumps and bruises, bites and stings, colds, coughs, tummy upsets, study and exam problems and many more. Homoeopathy is widely embraced in the United Kingdom, America, Europe and Asia, and to a lesser extent, Australia.
In the late 1700’s a German doctor, Samuel Hahnemann, discovered a different approach to the cure of the sick called Homoeopathy, which is an effective and scientific system of healing to assist the natural tendency of the body to heal itself. It recognises that symptoms of ill health are expressions of disharmony and that it is the patient who needs treatment not the disease..
A Homoeopathic medicine is understood to act by stimulating a healing response in the body by way of its similarity to the existing complaint. When choosing a remedy we note the important symptoms experienced by the person and select a remedy with a similar ‘remedy picture’. A very small dose of that remedy is then administered to stimulate healing.
The guidelines in this book are for the treatment of simple and minor complaints. In Homoeopathy emphasis is put on the individuals own unique experience of their symptoms. There is not simply one remedy for a particular illness, but rather one remedy, out of a whole group, which is carefully selected on the basis of each person's own variation of that illness.
More than 15,000 Homoeopathy for the Home Prescriber hardcopy booklets have already been sold Australia-wide. The advent of this e-book puts the solution for a myriad of minor health and wellness issues at readers’ fingertips, whenever and wherever they need it. | null | 12/1/2003 | {"name":"Jan Owen","num_books":19,"num_followers":"1"} | {"1_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"2_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"3_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"4_stars":{"reviews_num":2,"reviews_percentage":66},"5_stars":{"reviews_num":1,"reviews_percentage":33}} | "$2.99" |

After all, how many young ladies of her acquaintance will inherit wealth, beauty, and a legacy of arms dealing? Now the Royal Kingdom of Spain and the Californias is about to declare war on the Texican Territory and Gloria simply will not allow it. In company with Alice Chalmers and the crew of Swan, along with a lost young Evan Douglas seeking reparation for his own sins, she takes to the air. Her intention—to stop the train carrying the final shipment of monstrous mechanicals into the Wild West. But they should have known that making a deal with air pirate Ned Mose in exchange for his help could never end well. What is a lady of principle to do? For the lives of thousands may depend on her ability to stop the war … even if it means losing everything and everyone she has come to love … “It’s another element I love about these books; from Claire to Gloria to Alice to Lizzie and Maggie to Lady Dunsmuir, the women in this series generally like and respect each other. Other women are not required to be lesser—weaker, more cowardly, less intelligent—in order for Claire to be awesome.

Als der Vermisste jedoch ermordet aus dem Zürichsee gefischt wird und ihn die Witwe aus Misstrauen zu den Behörden bittet, die Ermittlungen wieder aufzunehmen, nimmt er die Sache persönlich und verbeißt sich geradezu in den Fall. Die Umstände des Mordes weisen zunächst auf die albanische Drogenmafia hin. Obwohl sich die Polizei mit dieser Erklärung zufrieden zu geben scheint, ist van Gogh, von Natur aus Skeptiker, nicht überzeugt. Seine Zweifel mehren sich, als er herausfindet, dass der Tote ein Veteran des Bosnienkriegs war. Als er im persönlichen Umfeld des Opfers herumstochert, stößt er nicht nur auf Verbindungen zu serbischen Kriegsverbrechern und mysteriösen NATO-Geheimarmeen des Kalten Kriegs, sondern auch auf eine obskure Schweizer Neonazigruppe mit politischen Ambitionen. Unterstützt von seinem kroatischen Busenfreund Ivica Sanader führen ihn die Ermittlungen von Zürich bis nach Wien und schließlich sogar Belgrad. Dabei bringt er durch seine Hartnäckigkeit nicht nur sich selbst, sondern auch seine Familie in große Gefahr, als er einem Geheimnis auf die Spur kommt, für das die Verantwortlichen über Leichen gehen und das die Zukunft Europas verändern könnte. | null | 10/29/2011 | {"name":"Daniel Moor","num_books":1} | {"1_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"2_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"3_stars":{"reviews_num":4,"reviews_percentage":80},"4_stars":{"reviews_num":1,"reviews_percentage":20},"5_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0}} | "$3.95" |

The reviews are in: Many of us avoid discussing, or even thinking about, aging as a possibility. However, there comes a time when the harsh realities of life make pulling your head out of the sand a necessity, and my experience has been that it's not all doom and gloom. "Getting Old" is an absolutely delightful collection of over sixty written works about aging that are both varied and engaging. Some poetry, some short stories. Some comedic, others reminiscent. What they all have in common are a heartfelt look at a phenomenon that we all go through, if we are lucky. I have a parent that I have recently had to put into a facility and this read touched me deeply. Very well done. -- Tricia A. At times beautiful, funny, sad, and brutal, this eclectic anthology is at all times honest. Each of the writers, in their own way, faces the topic of aging with whatever grace they can muster. The result is a touching book about the elderly and those who care for them in their final years. Getting Old is a collection of poetry and prose, with something for everyone. -- Kimberly Schimmel, MLS | null | 7/3/2015 | {"name":"Ashley Parker Owens","num_books":32,"num_followers":"3"} | {"1_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"2_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"3_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"4_stars":{"reviews_num":2,"reviews_percentage":40},"5_stars":{"reviews_num":3,"reviews_percentage":60}} | "$4.99" |

From the favelas of Brazil to the Maori villages in New Zealand, from occupied Palestine to South Central Los Angeles, musicians with strong social consciences are founding intensive orchestra programs for children in need.
In this captivating and inspiring account, authors Tricia Tunstall and Eric Booth tell the remarkable story of the international El Sistema movement. A program that started over four decades ago with a handful of music students in a parking garage in Caracas, El Sistema has evolved into one of classical music’s most vibrant new expressions and one of the world’s most promising social initiatives. Now with more than 700,000 students in Venezuela, El Sistema’s central message—that music can be a powerful tool for social change—has burst borders to grow in 64 countries (and that number increases steadily) across the globe.
To discover what makes this movement successful across the radically different cultures that have embraced it, the authors traveled to 25 countries, where they discovered programs thriving even in communities ravaged by poverty, violence, or political unrest. At the heart of each program is a deep commitment to inclusivity. There are no auditions or entry costs, so El Sistema’s doors are open to any child who wants to learn music—or simply needs a place to belong.
While intensive music-making may seem an unlikely solution to intractable poverty, this book bears witness to a program that is producing tangible changes in the lives of children and their communities. The authors conclude with a compelling and practicable call to action, highlighting civic and corporate collaborations that have proven successful in communities around the world. | ["Music"] | 9/13/2016 | {"name":"Tricia Tunstall","num_books":6,"num_followers":"3"} | {"1_stars":{"reviews_num":1,"reviews_percentage":5},"2_stars":{"reviews_num":1,"reviews_percentage":5},"3_stars":{"reviews_num":4,"reviews_percentage":20},"4_stars":{"reviews_num":8,"reviews_percentage":40},"5_stars":{"reviews_num":6,"reviews_percentage":30}} | "$15.63" |

Period by period, house by house, breathtaking images and elegantly authoritative text focus on those special features of the traditional Swedish room that have made it one of the major influences on decorating today.
Every room is inviting, whether it is a royal guest room, an artistocratic boudoir, or a farmer's kitchen. Every detail is enchanting, from the simple checks and stripes of the fabrics to the way they adorn window frames and form bed canopies, from the elegant outlines of a Gustavian chair to the gleaming titles of the ceramic stoves. The pale distressed colours and light-suffused interiors of the manor houses contrast with the rich claret red wooden exteriors and glowing, ingenuous wall paintings of the farmhouses.
The authors trace the development of this quintessentially Swedish style from its antecedents in the seventeenth century through its heyday in the later eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, to its followers today. The photographs include detailed close-ups with explanatory captions, so that The Swedish Room is both a source of original, practical decorative ideas as well as an irresistible voyage of discovery through some of the world's most appealing interiors. | null | 1/1/1994 | {"name":"Lars Sjöberg","num_books":20,"num_followers":"1"} | {"1_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"2_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"3_stars":{"reviews_num":9,"reviews_percentage":45},"4_stars":{"reviews_num":5,"reviews_percentage":25},"5_stars":{"reviews_num":6,"reviews_percentage":30}} | null |

Or so it seems to invisible fifteen-year-old Hazard James. But when he falls in with bad apple Jesse Wesley, Hazard is suddenly shoved into the spotlight. Jesse and his friends introduce him to the underworld of teenage life: house parties, hangovers, the advantages of empty homes, and reputation by association. So what if his old friends don't get it? So what if some people love to hate him? Screw gossip and high school's secret rules. There's just something about walking into a room and having all eyes on him when just last year nobody noticed him at all.
For a while Hazard basks in the attention, and before he realizes the depth of the waters he's wading, he and Jesse strike up a "friends with benefits" routine. It could be something more, but what self-respecting teenage boy would admit it? Not Jesse—and so not Hazard, either. Not until it's too late. Hazard and Jesse have collided, and Hazard's life will never be the same. | ["M M Romance","Young Adult","LGBT","Romance","Contemporary","Coming Of Age","Gay","Bisexual","Queer","Teen"] | 4/15/2012 | {"name":"J.R.

With blistering wit and meticulous documentation, Hitchens masterfully deconstructs Clinton's abject propensity for pandering to the Left while delivering to the Right and argues that the president's personal transgressions were inseparable from his political corruption. | ["Politics","Nonfiction","History","Biography","Journalism","American History","Essays","Philosophy","Biography Memoir","Political Science"] | 1/1/1999 | {"name":"Christopher Hitchens","num_books":162,"num_followers":"7349"} | {"1_stars":{"reviews_num":30,"reviews_percentage":1},"2_stars":{"reviews_num":153,"reviews_percentage":5},"3_stars":{"reviews_num":680,"reviews_percentage":24},"4_stars":{"reviews_num":1109,"reviews_percentage":40},"5_stars":{"reviews_num":769,"reviews_percentage":28}} | "$9.99" |

His name was Lord Soth, and this is his story.
Through deeds of great daring and chivalry as a Knight of Solamnia, Soth earned that order's highest honors. His heart was pure and his soul apparently spotless.
Some claim that pride undermined Soth's will to do good. Others say lust, and still others greed. Only Soth himself knew what caused him to destroy all that he loved.
To redeem himself, Soth accepted a task set by the god Paladine: Prevent the Kingpriest of Istar from demanding power from the deities who oversaw Krynn...and thereby prevent the Cataclysm. | ["Dragonlance","Fantasy","Fiction","High Fantasy","Dungeons and Dragons","Science Fiction Fantasy","Collections","Childrens","Reference","Science Fiction"] | 12/1/1996 | {"name":"Edo Van Belkom","num_books":69,"num_followers":"52"} | {"1_stars":{"reviews_num":36,"reviews_percentage":1},"2_stars":{"reviews_num":184,"reviews_percentage":6},"3_stars":{"reviews_num":703,"reviews_percentage":24},"4_stars":{"reviews_num":841,"reviews_percentage":29},"5_stars":{"reviews_num":1076,"reviews_percentage":37}} | "$7.99" |

Analysis of a Shooting: The Ultimate Ballistics Truth Exposed | ["Orlando Martin"] | 2.75 | 4 | 1 | JFK. Analysis of a Shooting, is an expert, detailed and comprehensive analysis of the assassination of President Kennedy. The work takes into account all the elemental factors that lead to a complete understanding of the shooting, and which will eventually serve to establish the undisclosed facts behind the tragic event. In its process of discovery the writing scrutinizes each shot taken at the motorcade. Additionally, it considers the caliber of the rifle used in the shooting. It takes into account the relative speed (in feet per second), and the inherent power of the bullets fired at the President. It analyzes the position of the alleged gunman and its relationship to his target. It also explorers the extent of every bullet wound, as it relates to the shot that caused it. In addition, the work probes the Zapruder film, as a visual record of the event, to denote the crucial frames that expose previously unrevealed facts of the shooting. And finally, the work reviews the trajectory of every single shot taken at the motorcade, from point of impact back towards the suspected point of origin, and their angles of entry into their targets. The book denotes, through conclusive interpretation of the evidence gathered, logical reasoning, and concrete ballistic principles that a total of five shots were fired at President Kennedy. Additionally, it also explains why it can be concluded that none of the shots fired at the President actually originated from the Texas School Book Depository Building, Oswald's alleged sniper position.

After completing basic training in San Diego, California, his first duty assignment in 1977 was overseas in the Philippines. He returned stateside in 1980, and continued his military career.

McNeill's seminal book The Rise of the West: A History of the Human Community (1963) received the National Book Award in 1964 and was later named one of the 100 best nonfiction books of the twentieth century by the Modern Library. From his post at the University of Chicago, McNeill became one of the first contemporary North American historians to write world history, seeking a broader interpretation of human affairs than prevailed in his youth. This candid, intellectual memoir from one of the most famous and influential historians of our era, The Pursuit of Truth charts the development of McNeill's thinking and writing over seven decades. At the core of his worldview is the belief that historical truth does not derive exclusively from criticizing, paraphrasing, and summarizing written documents, nor is history merely a record of how human intentions and plans succeeded or failed. Instead, McNeill believes that human lives are immersed in vast overarching processes of change. Ecological circumstances frame and limit human action, while in turn humans have been able to alter their environment more and more radically as technological skill and knowledge increased. McNeill believes that the human adventure on earth is unique, and that it rests on an unmatched system of communication. The web of human communication, whether spoken, written, or digital, has fostered both voluntary and involuntary cooperation and sustained behavioral changes, permitting a single species to spread over an entire planet and to alter terrestrial flows of energy and ideas to an extraordinary degree. Over the course of his career as a historian, teacher, and mentor, McNeill expounded the range of history and integrated it into an evolutionary worldview uniting physical, biological, and intellectual processes. Accordingly, The Pursuit of Truth explores the personal and professional life of a man who affected the way a core academic discipline has been taught and understood in America. | ["World History","History","Philosophy","Biography"] | 2/1/2005 | {"name":"William H.

When you get tired of flat, boring, 2d photos and want to have lifelike images that pop off the page, this "On Target Photo Training" course guide is the answer! Here is a copy of the Table of Contents to show a little of what is covered... 📷 Introduction 📷 Light Makes Shadow 📷 Color Temperature - Kelvin Scale 📷 Light Meters 📷 Reflected Light Meter 📷 Problems With Reflected Light 📷 Incident Light Meter 📷 Ambient Light 📷 Ambient Light Qualities 📷 Shadows From Hard Ambient Light 📷 Soft Ambient Light Shadows 📷 The Main/Key Light 📷 Planning The Shadow 📷 Squinting 📷 Raccoon Eyes 📷 Do You HATE Those Pesky Shadows? 📷 Shadows Define Form And Texture 📷 The Fill Light 📷 Learning Photography Lighting Techniques! 📷 Photo Exercise 📷 Photo Exercise 2 📷 Fixing Problem Areas 📷 Shadow Lighting Patterns 📷 Split Light 📷 Loop Light 📷 Butterfly Light 📷 Texture Requires Shadow! 📷 Glare 📷 Photo Exercise 3 📷 Additional Photo Training We spend a lot of time discussing light and various qualities of light - to get a better understanding of shadows! Ambient This is the light we will be using the most. Here we thoroughly cover what is is and how to work with it! Once we know how to control the light, we can control the shadows that define our shapes and textures. The Main/Key Before you can learn to master the shadows, you need to understand the light that is making them! Each light source whether it is ambient light or studio light (or both) creates it's own set of shadows. And it's own set of problems and opportunities! The shape, position and depth of the shadows - and your mastery of them - is what will turn your photos from dull lifeless "pictures" into something you will be proud to not only put on the wall...but you will be proud to sign them too! The Fill Here is the key to controlling the depth of your shadows and bringing emotion into your art. Fixing Problem Areas With (Or Without) Every face and every scene has flaws that you can "fix" in your camera. Every subject you shoot wants and deserves to look like a million bucks! It's your job as a photographer to make that happen. | ["Reference"] | 4/5/2012 | {"name":"Dan Eitreim","num_books":65,"num_followers":"5"} | {"1_stars":{"reviews_num":2,"reviews_percentage":10},"2_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"3_stars":{"reviews_num":6,"reviews_percentage":31},"4_stars":{"reviews_num":6,"reviews_percentage":31},"5_stars":{"reviews_num":5,"reviews_percentage":26}} | "$4.99" |

Emily’s dreams are simple: a life of dedicated service at a respectable estate, and a strong marriage filled with love and devotion for one man. Portage Place, the manor where her parents apprenticed, seems the perfect place to start. Though it is whispered that all is not as it seems behind its grand façade.
The rumors, it turns out, ring with truth. The halls are saturated with sensuality, desire and lust. Despite the scandalous duties she is asked to perform, she is determined not to stumble on what could be her first step toward her dreams. Dreams that, lately, have included the manor’s fiery haired groomsman.
A promise to watch over his younger half-brother brought Adam to Portage Place. For the first time in five years of enjoying the delights of the manor’s unbridled debauchery, Emily’s innocence touches the protector that still lives deep in his core. This house of sin may have ruined him, but he will see to it that it doesn’t ruin her.
It seems, however, that behind every door lurks a conspiracy to bind Emily in velvet chains of desire. Until the only way out is for Adam to take the biggest risk of all…

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/489046.Jane_Austen_and_Food | 489046.Jane_Austen_and_Food | Jane Austen and Food | ["Maggie Lane"] | 3.89 | 242 | 44 | What was the significance of the pyramid of fruit which confronted Elizabeth Bennet at Pemberley? Or of the cold beef eaten by Willoughby on his journey of repentance to see Marianne? Why is it so appropriate that the scene of Emma's disgrace should be a picnic, and how do the different styles of housekeeping in Mansfield Park engage with the social issues of the day?
While Jane Austen does not luxuriate in cataloguing meals in the way of Victorian novelists, food in fact plays a vital part in her novels. Her plots, being domestic, are deeply imbued with the rituals of giving and sharing meals. The attitudes of her characters to eating, to housekeeping and to hospitality are important indicators of their moral worth. In a practice both economical and poetic, Jane Austen sometimes uses specific foodstuffs to symbolise certain qualities at heightened moments in the text. This culminates in the artistic triumph of Emma, in which repeated references to food not only contribute to the solidity of her imagined world, but provide an extended metaphor for the interdependence of a community.
In this original, lively and well-researched book, Maggie Lane not only offers a fresh perspective on the novels, but illuminates a fascinating period of food history, as England stood on the brink of urbanisation, middle-class luxury, and change in the role of women. Ranging over topics from greed and gender to mealtimes and manners, and drawing on the novels, letters and Austen family papers, she also discusses Jane Austen's own ambivalent attitude to the provision and enjoyment of food. | ["Nonfiction","History","Food","Regency","British Literature","Historical","Cooking","Research"] | 7/1/1995 | {"name":"Maggie Lane","num_books":49,"num_followers":"14"} | {"1_stars":{"reviews_num":6,"reviews_percentage":2},"2_stars":{"reviews_num":12,"reviews_percentage":4},"3_stars":{"reviews_num":58,"reviews_percentage":23},"4_stars":{"reviews_num":92,"reviews_percentage":38},"5_stars":{"reviews_num":74,"reviews_percentage":30}} | "$3.99" |

When one of them kills himself the night after a long talk with Joanne, she is pushed into investigating just what her neighbours are involved with, an investigation that has startling – and fatal – consequences.Bowen’s depiction of this community of lawyers, each in his or her way now divorced from the ideals of justice and mercy that once motivated them all, is both compassionate and hard-nosed. There is Zack, the charming but controlling paraplegic; Blake and Lily, whose daughter, Gracie, struggles to keep her dignity as her parents’ marriage falls apart; Noah, who would rather practise carpentry than the law, and his wife, Delia, who is consumed by worry about the firm. The mounting stress among these lawyers is palpable as Joanne delves into their lives. And Joanne faces her own personal anxieties too when she discovers that her former lover, Inspector Alex Kequahtooway, is mixed up in what seems to be some very sordid legal business.From the Hardcover edition. | ["Mystery","Fiction","Canada","Mystery Thriller"] | 9/14/2004 | {"name":"Gail Bowen","num_books":46,"num_followers":"163"} | {"1_stars":{"reviews_num":2,"reviews_percentage":0},"2_stars":{"reviews_num":21,"reviews_percentage":5},"3_stars":{"reviews_num":115,"reviews_percentage":27},"4_stars":{"reviews_num":184,"reviews_percentage":43},"5_stars":{"reviews_num":98,"reviews_percentage":23}} | "$9.99" |

Raila"] | 4.5 | 2 | null | Part of a collection written over twenty years, Lessons from Saint Benedict contains 26 letters written by Donald Raila, O.S.B., a Benedictine monk of Saint Vincent Archabbey. Using the 1500-year-old Rule of Benedict and Benedictine spirituality as his foundation, Father Donald offers words of spiritual encouragement and guidance for persevering through the journey of daily life. With the Gospel and Rule of Benedict as guides, Raila says, we can learn to see God's graces in every dimension of our lives, even the most seemingly mundane. Father Donald provides both serious and light-hearted examples from his own life to demonstrate how we can renew and strengthen our spirituality through the daily grind, and perhaps even find joy in the process. Foreword, by Father Benedict Groeschel Who can deny that the rule of Saint Benedict is one of the great treasures of the Church? It is a wonderfully balanced approach to growing in faith and prayerfulness, and there can be no doubt that it has brought many people closer to Christ over many centuries. Yet often we think that this rule can be employed only within the confines of the cloister. Composed by the Father of Western Monasticism over fifteen hundred years ago, the Rule of Saint Benedict may seem at first glance to be distant from our contemporary life, and we may assume that it has little to say to us. In fact, however, the exact opposite is true. The calm and balance inherent in the Rule of Saint Benedict can be of great benefit to each of us – priest, religious, or layman – as we strive to bring order and perhaps even a moment or two of peace into our relentlessly driven post-modern lives. The Rule of Saint Benedict has helped countless people in their endeavor to turn from the clamoring of the world to the serenity of God. It can help us, as well. In Lessons from Saint Finding Joy in Daily Life Fr. Donald S. Raila, OSB offers us a beautiful and gentle distillation of some of the most important elements of this magnificent rule. Drawing on his long experience as Director of Oblates at Saint Vincent Archabbey in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, he presents the Rule in a way that is not only comprehensible to contemporary lay people but is manageable by them, as well. His examples are relevant and helpful, and he is very adept at showing us how to examine our lives in terms of the Rule in a way that exposes our many foibles and failings – things that keep us separated from God but which we rarely even notice. He shows us again and again ways to recognize and eventually even overcome those things that impede our spiritual growth. This is a slender volume of meditations, but its size is deceptive. If properly used it can make a real difference in the lives of many people. I am very pleased that Father Raila has collected some of his writings and agreed to let them be published here. I am also very excited to see that the works of Blessed Dom Columba Marmion, one of the greatest of Benedictine spiritual writers, are currently being reissued in new translations that are accessible to the modern reader. Perhaps we are seeing signs of a Benedictine renaissance, an increase in interest in the work of Saint Benedict and the great Benedictine tradition. I hope this is the case, for as Father Raila shows so well, the magnificent Rule of Saint Benedict has the potential to enrich every Christian life and to bring real and lasting joy into every Christian soul. As a Franciscan I am very aware that my own Seraphic Father was raised by the Benedictines. Even his home parish was attached to a Benedictine abbey, and the Benedictine influence in Saint Francis’s life must have been strong. It has always been my belief that these two great traditions, the Benedictine and the Franciscan, complement each other well and beautifully satisfy both the contemplative and evangelical vocations. | null | 5/1/2011 | {"name":"Donald S.

Simpson"] | 4.25 | 4 | null | Jean-Jacques Rousseau has a claim to be ranked above even Karl Marx as the political philosopher who has most influenced everyday life. His much-read philosophy of education alone would qualify him for a high place, but his political theory is even more important: decisions affecting millions of people were made based on the reading of certain lines of the Social Contract. Yet while politicians and scholars have studied this book for 250 years, almost no agreement exists on how to interpret its central concept: freedom. Rousseau's theory of freedom has led him to be called everything from the greatest prophet of individual liberty to the designer of the first totalitarian state.
This book offers a new, unifying interpretation of the theory of freedom in the Social Contract. Simpson gives a careful analysis of Rousseau's theory of the social pact, and then examines the kinds of freedom that it brings about, showing how Rousseau's individualist and collectivist aspects fit into a larger and logically coherent theory of human liberty. Simpson's book not only helps us to understand one of the pre-eminent political minds of the 18th century, but also brings us into closer conversation with those he influenced, who have done so much to shape our world. And in light of the interest in contemporary contractualist philosophers like Rawls, Scanlon, and Gauthier, readers will find it worthwhile to return to the thinker who offers one of the most radical, profound, and insightful theories of the social contract ever devised. | null | 3/8/2006 | {"name":"Matthew C.
