Penguin Ananda. Paperback. NEW. A pragmatic mind may deem flowers unworthy of notice-devoid as they are of the nourishment and utility of fruit, leaf, bark and root. Yet these fragile and ephemeral blooms dare to flaunt the wonders of Nature. From heady fragrance to miraculous colours and intricate design, it is this spirited extravagance which draws, touches and inspires us in remarkable ways. A motley bouquet, the articles that comprise Flowers on the Path offer insights from Sadhguru that spark you with their incisive clarity, delight you with humour, or even render you in profound stillness within. Whether the subject covers social issues and worldly affairs, individual challenges, or dimensions of the beyond, Sadhguru's ability to delve to the root and look at life in all its totality is evident. As a flower can confound you with its brilliance and beauty, so too does each article hold the possibility to confuse you out of your conclusions, and pave the way towards true knowing.With a… Read More

An intimate portrait of two pivotal Restoration figures during one of the most dramatic periods of English history Samuel Pepys and John Evelyn are two of the most celebrated English diarists. They were also extraordinary men and close friends. This first full portrait of that friendship transforms our understanding of their times. Pepys was earthy and shrewd, while Evelyn was a genteel aesthete, but both were drawn to intellectual pursuits. Brought together by their work to alleviate the plight of sailors caught up in the Dutch wars, they shared an inexhaustible curiosity for life and for the exotic. Willes explores their mutual interests-diary-keeping, science, travel, and a love of books-and their divergent enthusiasms, Pepys for… Read More

Andy Kaufman's hort and tubulent life has recently been filmed as Man on the Moon. In the 1970s a handful of comedians revolutionised American comedy: Steve Martin, John Belushi,. Bill Murray. Foremost - and strangest - amongs them was Andy Kaufman. Part performance artist and part prankster, Andy Kaufman's comedy ranged from the inane to the bizarrely avant-garde. He played the bumbling Latka Gravas on Taxi; he reigned undefeated as World Inter-Gender Wrestling Champion, a title he invented; he was Elivs Presely's favourite Elivs impersonator. The only constant in Kaufman's work was his total commitment to the role. But as his star rose, the boundary between Andy the performer and Andy the person became increasingly blurred. Based on six years research,… Read More

An important horticultural memoir articulating a new landscape art that's both environmentally sensitive and rich in creativity.Janet Marinelli left her comfortable city garden to join a botanist colleague in search of the rare Seabeach Amaranth--one of our many native species that is in danger of extinction. The result of the ensuing seven-year odyssey, Stalking the Wild Amaranth is a work of science and a work of art.

Inspired by the legacy of Henry David Thoreau, Marinelli blends history, horticulture, erudition, and personal insight into a narrative that ponders the relationship between humankind and nature.
