Just days after Raynor learns that Moth, her husband of 32 years, is terminally ill, their home is taken away and they lose their livelihood. With nothing left and little time, they make the brave and impulsive decision to walk the 630 miles of the sea-swept South West Coast Path, from Somerset to Dorset, via Devon and Cornwall.
Carrying only the essentials for survival on their backs, they live wild in the ancient, weathered landscape of cliffs, sea and sky. Yet through every step, every encounter and every test along the way, their walk becomes a remarkable journey.
The Salt Path is an honest and life-affirming true story of coming to terms with grief and the healing power of the natural world. Ultimately, it is a portrayal of home, and how it can be lost, rebuilt and rediscovered in the most unexpected ways. ___________

"They made me take care of the vineyards, but my own vineyard I neglected." (Song of Songs 1:6b)
Paul urged Timothy to learn this vital principle when he was still young. It contains one of the keys in Christian work: If someone in ministry is not all right, the quality of their ministry will be affected. In Christian ministries, it is easy to find workers who never think of themselves. While selflessness is a Christlike trait, at times we can push ourselves too far, leading to the paradigm of stressed and burned-out people. In order to love God and serve others, we often need to be still, take a rest, and be refreshed. This book will help Christians find the balance between ministry and "monastery," between the urgent work of service and the place of rest and restoration.
Caring for our own "vineyard"--the talents, gifts, and emotional resources of our personality--is not only a privilege but a duty. It is part of good stewardship, an act of obedience as disciples of Christ. Far from being a sign of a more spiritual attitude, neglecting our own needs can be a serious mistake and even a sin.

The Age of Railways was an era of extraordinary change which utterly transformed every aspect of British life - from trade and transportation to health and recreation.
Full Steam Ahead reveals how the world we live in today is entirely shaped by the rail network, charting the glorious evolution of rail transportation and how it left its mark on every aspect of life, landscape and culture. Peter Ginn and Ruth Goodman brilliantly bring this revolution to life in their trademark style which engages and captivates. They explore the everyday lives and the intangible ephemeral history that make up the stories of the people who built, worked and were affected by the railways. From the very first steam train to the infrastructure that is still used in part today, they look at the men, women and children who lived and sometimes died constructing Britain's railway heritage.
As they trace the emergence of the Industrial Revolution across the country, the authors discover a hidden layer of social history, using rail transportation as a backdrop to reveal Britain's radical change in social attitudes and culture across the 19th and early 20th centuries, including the rise of the working class, women's rights, industrial growth, economic decline, warfare and the birth of the great British holiday. They tell the stories of the historic characters whose lives were changed by this radical mode of transport.
Beautifully illustrated with photographs and artwork throughout, Full Steam Ahead is a passionate, charming and insightful look at Britain through the lens of one of its most momentous eras.

When W. H. Freeman originally published this book in 1983, the scientific study of relationships was in its childhood. 'Relationship science' has since become an established endeavor in psychology, sociology, and other social and behavioral science disciplines-complete with its own organizations, journals, book series, handbooks, and sourcebooks. A lengthy new introduction by Ellen Berscheid and Harold Kelley documents the evolution of the field.
From the Introduction to the Percheron Press Edition . . .
'[W]e speak for all of the authors of Close Relationships when we express our great pleasure in seeing our book back in print again, for we believe its republication reflects the growing importance of the relationship field. We also believe its key messages are as sound and relevant today as they were at the time of the book's initial publication nearly two decades ago.'
Jose Conrado Rodriguez Alegre was born in June of 1951 in the city of San Luis, Oriente, Cuba. From a young age, as he explains in this book, he found the priesthood to be his vocation, entering the seminary in 1964. Between the cities of Santiago, El Cobre and Havana (in the seminary of San Carlos and San Ambrosio) he finishes his studies and was ordained a priest by his Bishop, Monsignor Pedro Meurice, on June 5, 1976. His work «40 aÑos de sacerdote en la Cuba de los Castro» ("40 years of priesthood in Castros's Cuba") reveals his life, his effort to evangelize, his apostolic zeal, rebelliousness, and expulsions. This book shows the life and soul of a priest who knows how to laugh and communicate to all he knows his love for Jesus and Mary, a love he feels with powerful fidelity, despite the criticism and the difficulties he has suffered and still suffers.
In 2017 he published the book, SUEÑOS Y PESADILLAS DE UN CURA IN CUBA. At the beginning of 2018, together with two other Cuban priests, he wrote and disseminated UNA CARTA A RAÚL CASTRO (A LETTER TO RAÚL CASTRO) where he denounced, along with the two other Cuban priests, the difficult situations of penury and lack of freedom in his country and called for reforms to avoid a social catastrophe. In 1994, he also wrote a letter to Fidel Castro and in 2009 one to RaÚl Castro. All are included in this book.
Resistencia y sumisiÓn en Cuba (Resistance and submission in Cuba) is the thesis he presented at the University of Salamanca as the culmination of his journalism studies in 1999. It is really a reflection that seeks to find answers to the situation in Cuba. It is a profound study of the realities of the totalitarian experience in countries that suffer communist systems. It is always a search for truth, a purpose that inspired him to study, reflect and write this work. In the introduction, we will find an explanation of that search. The reflection focuses on four authors, each of them from a different country: «El pensamiento cautivo» (The Captive Thought) by Czeslaw Milosz, (Poland), - Nobel Prize for Literature in 1980;; «Rogad por el hermano Alejandro» (Pray for Brother Alejandro) was written, upon leaving prison, by Constantin Noica, (Rumania); ); «El poder de los sin poder», (The power of the powerless), by Vaclav Havel, (Czechoslovakia), Nobel Peace Prize winner in 1989); «Informe contra mÍ mismo» (Report against Myself) by Eliseo Alberto Diego (Cuba).
This is no ordinary textbook. With its revamped design, highly visual features, and concise coverage, the second edition of Essential Communication is a practical, interactive guide for students. Exercises and self-quizzes help students reflect on their own communication patterns and improve their skills. Focused on the fundamentals, every element of this text helps students become better communicators online, in person, at home, and at work.
