A book about serendipity, and mindfulness, and the good things in life. Ita??s about dogs and flowers, random acts of fun, people and books taking over the house. Ita??s also a thoughtful book, as Valerie Davies touches on philosophy, the environment, corporate raiders and their effect on the third world... When it comes to fun, therea??s the inimitable Duchess of Devonshire and Patrick Leigh Fermor, jolly ladies who lunch, and the strange addiction of blogging. Therea??s plenty about the pleasures of food, and recipes for threadbare gourmets which have delighted readers in the world-wide blogosphere. And threaded in among these pleasures is a concern and deep love for the natural world, for animals and insects, lions and whales . This is the perfect bed-side book, to dip into and enjoy - good humoured, sometimes funny, and always intriguing. Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге Chasing the Dragon: An addiction to Living (Valerie Davies)
