Ist es nicht vorstellbar, sich etwas einzuschränken? Kann man nicht mit weniger prestigeträchtigen »Erfahrungen« leichter das Gleichgewicht des Lebens halten? Könnte es nicht sogar sein, dass man, wenn man unnötigen Ballast abwirft, zwar Eitelkeiten verliert, aber elementare Dinge hinzugewinnt? Weniger Hektik, mehr Nachhaltigkeit, weniger Geschwätz, mehr Intensität, weniger artifizielle Vergnügungen, mehr Hinwendung zur Natur? Die Angebote dieser Anthologie reichen von Seneca bis Henry David Thoreau, von Anne Morrow Lindbergh bis Marlen Haushofer. Und begleitet wird das Lesebuch von der scheinbar einfachen, aber wirkungsmächtigen Farbfeldmalerei Frank Badurs. Für Texte und Bilder könnte gelten: »Man folge seiner inneren Stimme, und sie wird einem stündlich neue Aussichten eröffnen!«
Since the middle of the twentieth century the world has witnessed a succession of political and social disruptions. Globalisation, technological advancement, climate change, human migration, war and conflict - all have caused major worldwide upheavals. In this light, it's unsurprising that conservation of rare breed animals has been neglected. Yet the preservation of these genetic resources - this biological diversity - is an essential ingredient of sustainable life on Earth, and not something we can afford to lose. This book, straight from the 'horse's mouth' Lawrence Alderson CBE, challenges often repeated 'facts' about livestock farming and argues for a reasoned and evidence-based approach from political and public circles. Correcting misconceptions as he goes, he recounts the creation and development of the rare breed conservation movement, addresses extinctions and genetic safe-guarding measures, and considers where we go from here. Challenged as we are by climate change, sustainability and feeding the world, perhaps it is these endangered animals that hold the answer - perhaps with them, we can adapt to our changing environment and see a way forward to a more certain future.

In this enthralling book, Ben Alderson-Day explores one of the most curious experiences known to humankind: the universal, disturbing sense that someone or something is there when we are alone - the feeling of an unseen presence. When and why do presences emerge? What does this feeling mean and where does it come from? And how can we even begin to understand a phenomenon that can be transformative for those who experience it and yet so hard to put into words? The answers to these questions lie in this fascinating exploration through cutting-edge research in contemporary psychology, psychiatry, neuroscience and philosophy. Taking the reader on a riveting and emotional journey, Presence offers remarkable insights into the experience of felt presence and how it relates to a range of medical conditions, including sleep paralysis, dementia and Parkinson's. This compelling story will stoke the fascination of sceptics and ardent believers alike who are drawn to the mystery of the unseen.
