The concern for the well-being of others could be the saving grace of the 21st century. Matthieu Ricard`s Altruism, an erudite, brilliantly ranging synthesis of philosophy, psychology & ages old wisdom, is a radical call to kindness, which has the potential as a new global movement to answer the biggest problems of our time: the economy in the short term, life satisfaction in the mid-term, & the environment in the long term. As the faultlines of inequality & nationalism leave us ever more divided, Ricard challenges us to be better people
- & in the process, make the world a better place.

First published in 1939, Always a Little Further quickly established itself as a Scottish climbing classic. In portraying a group of rank-&-file climbers from Glasgow who sought merely to enjoy the freedom of the mountains & the fellowship of shared experience, it presents a very different view of mountaineering than is found in many more `serious` books on the subject. From early beginnings in Arrochar & on Skye the group graduate to bigger things around Glencoe & Ben Nevis. The climbing merely provides the background to the story & it is the travelling, the characters & the colourful life of road, campsite & bothy that form the main focus of attention. There are stories about motor-cyclists, hitch-hikers, berry-pickers, bird-watchers & `gangrels of all sorts`. The bizarre characters & events are entertainingly described & a `rollicking humour` runs through the narrative. These are light-hearted tales, filled with the enthusiasm of carefree youth & displaying a genuine love of the Scottish hills. For this reason Always a Little Further is rightly regarded as a classic reflecting an aspect of mountaineering life hardly touched in other accounts. ...

- from the Flying Circus to The Meaning of Life.

With anecdotes sprinkled throughout involving Mike Nichols, Mick Jagger, Steve Martin, Paul Simon & many more, as well as the Pythons themselves, Eric captures a time of tremendous creative output with equal parts hilarity & heart. In Always Look on the Bright Side of Life, named after the song he wrote for Life of Brian which has since become the number-one song played at funerals in the UK, he shares the highlights of his life & career with the kind of offbeat humour that has delighted his audiences for five decades. This is a memoir chock-full of behind-the-scenes stories from a high-flying life featuring everyone from Princess Leia to Queen Elizabeth.
