Set in Vermont's Green Mountains, a profoundly moving meditation on the
lessons and wisdom that come from raising a family, tending sheep, and
living close to the land.
In the heart of Vermont’s Green Mountains, Helen Whybrow and her
partner set out to restore an old two-hundred-acre farm. Knowing that
“belonging more than anything requires participation,” they begin to
intertwine their lives with the land. But soon after releasing a flock
of Icelandic sheep onto the worn-out fields, Whybrow realizes that the
art of shepherding extends far beyond the flock and fences of Knoll
Farm.
In prose both vivid and lean, The Salt Stones offers an intimate and
profoundly moving story of what it means to care for a flock and truly
inhabit a piece of land. The shepherd’s life unfolds for Whybrow in the
seasons and cycles of farming and family—birthing lambs, fending off
coyotes, rescuing lost sheep in a storm, and raising children while
witnessing her mother’s decline. Exploring the interdependence of
animals, as well as of the earth and ourselves, Whybrow reflects on the
ways sheep connect her to place and to the ancient practice of
shepherding.
Evocative, affectionate, and illuminating, The Salt Stones sings of a
way of life that is at once ancient and entirely contemporary,
inspiring us all to seek greater intimacy and a sense of belonging
wherever our home place may be.
______________________________ THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER FROM THE
45th PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES 'I like thinking big. I always
have. To me it's very simple: If you're going to be thinking
anyway, you might as well think big.' - Donald J. Trump Here is
Trump in action - how he runs his business and how he runs his life
- as he meets the people he needs to meet, chats with family and
friends, clashes with enemies, and changes the face of the New York
City skyline. But even a maverick plays by the rules, and Trump has
formulated eleven guidelines for success. He isolates the common
elements in his greatest deals; he shatters myths; he names names,
spells out the zeros, and fully reveals the deal-maker's art. And
throughout, Trump talks - really talks - about how he does it.
Trump: The Art of the Deal is an unguarded look at the mind of a
brilliant entrepreneur and an unprecedented education in the
practice of deal-making. It's the most streetwise business book
there is - and the ultimate read for anyone interested in making
money and achieving success, and knowing the man behind the
spotlight.
Ouerskap is 'n taak waarvoor ons geen opleiding kry nie, daar is
nie 'n keurproses of eksamens nie, en geen permit word vereis nie.
Tog hou jy die lewe en toekoms van 'n ander mens in jou hande
wanneer jy 'n ouer word. Hierdie titel sal 'n reusebydrae lewer to
elke ouer se ouerskapvaardighede. Dit fokus op kommunikasie as die
kern van interpersoonlike verhoudings en sal jou help om jou
kinders die beste moontlike, weloorwoe opvoeding te gee. Hoewel
elke mens 'n unieke kulturele agtergrond het, is daar universele
ouerskapbeginsels en het ons kinders dieselfde behoeftes, vrese en
drome. Elkeen van ons se diepste behoefte is waarskynlik om te weet
dat ons gekoester en waardevol geag word bloot op grond van onsself
wees. Positiewe ouerskap kyk uit hierdie perspektief na die
volgende: Wat is jou wense vir jou kind? Hoe struktuur geborgenheid
meebring; 'n Goeie selfbeeld vir jou kind; Vorm goeie verhoudings;
Onvoorwaardelike liefde; Hoe om pret te he met jou kind.
Spiritualiteit positiewe ouerskap is 'n noodsaaklike gids om ouers
te help om die wonderlike, maar veeleisende verantwoordelikheid van
ouerskap in die 21ste eeu in Suid-Afrika met selfvertroue te
hanteer.
