Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 'In the wake of the strongest earthquake in Italy for nearly forty years and the many aftershocks that followed, Italians began speaking of the earth beneath our feet as la terra ballerina, the dancing earth. The dance they spoke of was unrelenting.' Foreign correspondent Christine Toomey spent years renovating her glorious, long-abandoned hill-top home in Le Marche, Italy, as a haven of rest from covering crises around the world. But in 2016, the peace and beauty of this beloved landscape were thrown into chaos when a series of powerful earthquakes struck the heart of the Apennines. Wracked with grief for a place still reverberating with seismic aftershocks, Christine set out on a journey of discovery through the history of a landscape that gave birth to so much of Western culture and civilisation. Fuelled by a collection of century-old letters, oil paintings and an earthquake map of Sicily hidden away and thick with dust in her attic, she becomes increasingly absorbed in the life of the last permanent resident of her house, the enigmatic priest, Don Federico Bellesi, and begins to unravel his own myriad connections to the convulsions that rock the region. When The Mountains Dance is a heartfelt, thought-provoking, and boldly intimate story imbued with love but also tough reality. It is a story about the places that make us, and the life-changing thunderbolts that can come at all of us, at any time, from any quarter. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. First edition (first printing). A fine copy in a fine dust jacket. In 2011, Christine Toomey met an unforgettable group of Tibetan Buddhist nuns. After hearing their stories--of prison, extreme hardship, and ultimately fleeing across the Himalayas into exile--she resolved to learn more about the private, courageous women of Buddhism: who they are, their experience of suffering, what motivates them to seek enlightenment, and what stands in their way. Toomey's quest took on even greater urgency with the sudden deaths of her father and then her mother, and her own search for healing wisdom in the aftermath of loss. In Search of Buddha's Daughters introduces us to women from around the world--Nepal, India, Burma, and Japan, as well as the US, the UK, and France--who have come to the ordained life from every faith and career: a former policewoman, a princess, a Bollywood star, and a concert violinist. Toomey meets a Harvard graduate who sometimes breaks into hip-hop moves after meditating, a Japanese nun who has written bestselling erotica, and a Nepalese order of nuns who practice kung fu for spiritual and physical empowerment. Through insightful conversations with over thirty women, Toomey investigates Buddhism as an antidote to the problems of life in the twenty-first century, and considers the status of women today--worldwide, and within one of our oldest wisdom traditions. "In a world numbed by the amount of attention paid to violence, terrorism, and political and religious power struggles," she writes, "I find it profoundly refreshing to come across women whose lives are dedicated to nurturing the opposite.".

Softcover. Condition: very good condition. Growing up on either side of the Iron Curtain, Alexei Leonov and David Scott shared the same dream - to become a pilot. Excelling at flying, they were chosen by their countries' burgeoning space programmes to be part of the greatest technological race ever - to land a man on the moon. Cosmonaut Alexei Leonov became the first man to walk in space. He won a place in history, but almost lost his life. In 1966, David Scott and Neil Armstrong were seconds away from dying as Gemini 8 spun violently out of control across space. Both men survived against dramatic odds and Scott went on to command the most complex expedition in the history of space exploration, Apollo 15. When the US and USSR space programmes were eventually brought together in the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project, Scott and Leonov finally met. The project marked the end of the Cold War silence and started a friendship that would last for decades. 415 p. photos.

First Edition
Condition: sehr gut erhalten, neuwertig. deutsche Erstausgabe von "Two Sides of the Moon" (London, 2004) - - David Scott und Alexej Leonow wuchsen auf zwei verschiedenen Seiten des Eisernen Vorhangs auf, aber sie hatten einen gemeinsamen Traum: den Traum vom Fliegen. Sie gehörten in ihren Ländern zur Elite der Kampfpiloten und wurden später für verschiedene Raumfahrtprogramme ausgewählt, um am größten technologischen Wettlauf der Menschheitsgeschichte teilzunehmen - dem dramatischen Wettlauf zum Mond, bei dem Triumph und Tragödie oft miteinander verbunden waren. - So war der russische Kosmonaut der erste Mensch, der einen Raumspaziergang wagte, eine historische Tat, die ihn beinahe das Leben gekostet hätte. Ein Jahr später, 1966, trudelte Gemini 8 mit David Scott und Neil Armstrong an Bord unkontrolliert durch das All. Obwohl sie nur um Haaresbreite überlebten, konnten sie sich der Faszination der Raumfahrt nicht entziehen: Armstrong war später Commander von Apollo 11 und der erste Mensch auf dem Mond; Scott, der als siebter Mann auf dem Mond landete, absolvierte während der Apollo-9-Mission einen Raumspaziergang und war Commander von Apollo 15, der komplexestesten Expedition in der Geschichte der Raumfahrt. - Das Apollo-Sojus-Projekt läutete Mitte der siebziger Jahre schließlich eine neue Ära der Zusammenarbeit zwischen den USA und der Sowjetunion ein - politisches Tauwetter, das auch David Scott und Alexej Leonow im Laufe der Jahre zu Freunden werden ließ. In ihrer einzigartigen Doppelbiographie schildern die beiden Pioniere der Raumfahrt ihr außergewöhnliches Leben. Sie erzählen von ihren Kindheiten in Texas und Sibirien, von ihren beruflichen Karrieren, von spannenden Weltraummissionen und tragischen Zwischenfällen, von Forschergeist und Heldentum. Zwei bewegende Lebensberichte, geschrieben von zwei Abenteurern, die ihr Leben aufs Spiel setzten, um die Erforschung des Weltraums voranzutreiben. 464 p. Fotos gebundene Ausgabe mit Schutzumschlag.
