    'The Slow Bicycle Companion: inspirational quotes from cycling's golden age' celebrates the golden age of cycling, before the noisy arrival of the motor car and the heavy goods vehicle, when lycra, hi-viz and plastic hats were unknown, bicycles had no brakes let alone gears, and tweed-clad riders puffed on cigars as they pedalled along peaceful country lanes. If you are a fan of the Slow Bicycle Movement and wish to return to a less hurried, more civilised, and perspiration-free style of cycling, this book of quotations will inspire and amuse in equal measure.

    'Nothing is so completely beyond the power of death as a noble love. Parting can shatter only its outward shell. Under that strange touch, love in its inmost recesses kindles and glows with a diviner life.' George S Merriam.Today many people have only a nominal attachment to a religious denomination or faith tradition. Yet at a profound rite of passage such as the funeral of a loved one, they may still wish to hear words of spiritual comfort that are familiar, inspiring and dignified, and which express some belief in a higher power and a hope, in some sense, of a life hereafter. This book of 143 poems and short prose readings is suitable for the funeral or memorial service of someone who was, perhaps 'spiritual, but not religious' or who did not have a dogmatic faith, yet was not opposed to religious ideas. Many of the readings come from the humanistic Christian tradition, expressing hope in the example of Jesus to help us through the darkest times of our lives, and that a spiritual connection with our loved ones can survive death, in some way which is ultimately beyond our understanding. There are also readings which are not specifically Christian, and readings from other faith traditions. The readings maintain the familiar traditional style of the King James Bible and the Book of Common Prayer, with the formality and dignity expected of a funeral or memorial service, from some of the world's greatest writers including Shakespeare, John Donne, Samuel Johnson, Robert Browning and Anne Bronte, as well as lesser-known but equally inspiring authors.

  • - a 1930s 'Reverend Shaw' Golden Age-style mystery thriller
    af Hugh Morrison
    118,95 kr.

    February, 1932: the highly unpopular Joan Hexham, 'the spider at the centre of a web of village gossip', is killed on stage during an amateur performance of Hamlet. An accident, surely. Nobody would be brazen enough to commit murder in full view of fifty witnesses in Lower Addenham village hall - or would they? The local vicar, Reverend Lucian Shaw, is asked by the police to lend moral support to the villagers during their investigation. He soon finds he must do much more than that when it becomes clear that Mrs Hexham's death was no accident - and that her killer is about to strike again. This 1930s Golden Age style murder mystery featuring the likeable clerical sleuth Lucian Shaw will appeal to fans of Agatha Christie, Dorothy L Sayers and GK Chesterton's 'Father Brown' series.

  • - Volunteering with Tibetans in McLeodganj
    af Hugh Morrison
    108,95 kr.

    The small Indian town of McLeodganj (Dharamsala) in the Himalayas was once just a forgotten footnote in the history of the British Raj - but in 1959 all that changed when His Holiness the Dalai Lama arrived after being forced to flee from Tibet. Since then, McLeodganj has become the headquarters of the exiled Tibetan government, a world centre of Buddhism and a safe haven for thousands of Tibetan refugees. Inspired by Michael Palin's BBC series 'Himalaya, ' Hugh Morrison spent four months as a volunteer among the Tibetan exiles of McLeodganj, working for Lha Charitable Trust as editor of their magazine, 'Contact'. With detail and wry humour, he describes daily life in 'Little Lhasa' as well as Himalayan travels to places such as Mandi, the city of temples, Shimla, the summer capital of British India, and the desolate no man's land of some of the world's highest and most remote settlements on the Indo-Chinese border. This book will appeal to those interested in volunteer work in McLeodganj or anyone who wants to find out more about this unique, beautiful and mysterious part of the world. Includes 30 black and white illustrations. 50% of the proceeds of this book will be donated to Lha Charitable Trust
