Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Want to help? First you must be willing to learn. This year, over
ten million people will go abroad, eager to find the perfect blend
of adventure and altruism. Volunteer travel can help you find your
place in the world--and find out what you're made of. So why do so
many international volunteer programs fail to make an impact? Why
do some do more harm than good? Learning Service offers a powerful
new approach that invites volunteers to learn from host communities
before trying to 'help' them. It's also a thoughtful critique of
the sinister side of volunteer travel; a guide for turning good
intentions into effective results; and essential advice on how to
make the most of your experience. This book is for volunteers and
educators alike. If you're wondering if volunteer travel is right
for you; if you're getting on the plane tomorrow; or if you're
trying to adjust to life as a returned volunteer--this is the book
you need in your bag.

This is a new release of the original 1929 edition.
1929. From the dust jacket. Andre Maurois who wrote so
sympathetically of the lives of Disraeli and Shelley (Ariel) has
created here a novel of incomparable charm and originality.
Atmosphere of Love is a study of a man and the two women he loved.
In the opening chapters, Philippe Marcenat narrates his version of
his affair with the woman he loved, madly, jealously; in the latter
part of the novel the mirror is held up at a different angle and
Marcenat's second wife presents her estimate of her husband. By
this original device, we have a subtle and a living portrait of the
hero. At the same time, it is an analysis, profound and clarifying,
of the nature and the course of love and the devastating effect of
human jealousy. Virginia Woolf, the author of Orlando says of this
novel: It would be difficult to find a fellow to it in English. One
cannot bring to mind at the moment any living English writer so
intelligent, so dextrous, so accomplished as M. Maurois. See other
