The Theory Of Clouds

The Theory Of Clouds

BY STEPHANE AUDEGUY
Akira Kumo survived the mushroom cloud over Hiroshima. Now he has the world's largest collection of literature on clouds & meteorology, which he hires Virginie Latour to catalog. As they work, he tells her stories of those who devoted their lives to clouds: the English Quaker who first classified clouds, the painter who became obsessed with painting clouds, and the 19th-century amateur meteorologist Richard Abercrombie, a photographer who may have created the only definitive catalog of clouds-but only one copy exists, and it has never been seen. Kumo sends Virginie to London to track down this fabled work, a quest both surprising & wondrous, where love forms & transforms lives.

These Strange Criminals

These Strange Criminals

An Anthology Of Prison Memoirs By Conscientious Objectors From The Great War To The Cold War

EDITED BY PETER BROCK
This important and thought-provoking anthology consists of thirty prison memoirs by conscientious objectors to military service, centering on their jail experiences either during the first or second world wars or in Cold War America. Voices from history come alive, detailing the impact of prison life and offering unique perspectives on wartime government policies of conscription and imprisonment. Sometimes intensely moving, and often inspiring, these memoirs show that in some cases, individual conscientious objectors sought to reform the penal system from within either by publicizing its dysfunction or through further resistance to authority.

The Things They Carried

The Things They Carried

A Work Of Fiction

BY TIM O'BRIEN
Depicts the men of Alpha Company: Jimmy Cross, Henry Dobbins, Rat Kiley, Mitchell Sanders, Norman Bowker, Kiowa, and of course, the character Tim O'Brien who has survived his tour in Vietnam to become a father and writer at the age of forty-three. They battle the enemy (or maybe more the idea of the enemy) and occasionally each other. In their relationships we see their isolation and loneliness, their rage and fear. They miss their families, their girlfriends and bud dies; they miss the lives they left back home. Yet they find sympathy and kindness for strangers (the old man who leads them unscathed through the mine field, the girl who grieves while she dances), and love for each other.

Thinking Like A Mountain

Thinking Like A Mountain

Towards A Council Of All Beings

BY JOHN SEED, JOANNA MACY, ARNE NESS, PAT FLEMING
This book of readings, meditations, rituals and workshop notes prepared on three continents helps us remember that environmental defence is nothing less than 'Self' defence. Including magnificent illustrations of Australia's rainforests, 'Thinking Like a Mountain' provides a context for ritual identification with the natural environment. It helps us experience our place in the web of life -- rather than at the apex of some human-centred pyramid. An important deep ecology educational tool for activist, school and religious groups, it can also be used for personal reflection.

This Fire

This Fire

Politics, Love And Other Small Miracles

BY JOHN MCCUTCHEON
"... When we gather 'round that fire there's no telling what stories might be told. Songs of love and politics, courage and forgiveness, parody and pathos, somehow they are not unrelated. When I gathered the songs for this collection they captured a small piece of time in a long life of trying hard to pay attention. They seemed to remind me of some small truths I've learned. If hard times can't have humor we won't survive them. If old love doesn't have some memory of youthful passion it, too, will fade. And the many stories of ordinary people responding to ugliness with beauty continue to fascinate and thrill me. Politics, love and other small miracles...all fueled by this same fire."

This Is Our House

This Is Our House

BY MICHAEL ROSEN, ILLUSTRATED BY BOB GRAHAM
George has a house made from a big cardboard box, and he says that no one else at the playground can come in. Not Lindy, because George's house "isn't for girls," nor Freddie, because it "isn't for small people." Sophie can't come in because, George says, "This house isn't for people with glasses." But when George leaves his house for a moment, everyone piles in, and on his return, George gets a taste of his own medicine. Aided by Bob Graham's striking illustrations of an urban playground, Michael Rosen tells the tale of a little boy who makes a big discovery -- that letting everyone into his playhouse is a lot more fun than keeping them out.

BY MARIBETH BOELTS, ILLUSTRATED BY NOAH JONES
to be wearing. But Jeremy's grandma tells him they don't have room for "want," just "need," and what Jeremy needs are new boots for winter. When Jeremy's shoes fall apart at school, and the guidance counselor gives him a hand-me-down pair, the boy is more determined than ever to have those shoes, even a thrift-shop pair that are much too small. But sore feet aren't much fun, and Jeremy comes to realize that the things he has - warm boots, a loving grandma, and the chance to help a friend - are worth more than the things he wants.

Three Cups Of Tea

Three Cups Of Tea

One Man's Mission To Promote Peace . . . One School At A Time

BY GREG MORTENS0N
Anyone who despairs of the individual's power to change lives has to read the story of Greg Mortenson, a homeless mountaineer who, following a 1993 climb of Pakistan's treacherous K2, was inspired by a chance encounter with impoverished mountain villagers and promised to build them a school. Over the next decade he built fifty-five schools-especially for girls-that offer a balanced education in one of the most isolated and dangerous regions on earth. As it chronicles Mortenson's quest, which has brought him into conflict with both enraged Islamists and uncomprehending Americans, Three Cups of Tea combines adventure with a celebration of the humanitarian spirit.
