This lyrical evocation of growing up on the banks of the Seine was originally published in 1964. In this minutely observed landscape, where even the wind is a character in its own right, we meet blind Battouflet, the singing hermit of the hillside, solemn Clotilde, the author`s first girlfriend who lives in a chateau in the heart of the forest, & a desiccated & disturbing spinster, Mlle. Firman. Fedden writes with preternatural clarity, taking the reader with him into a long-forgotten yet echoingly familiar world. When Fedden finds himself expelled from this realm by his emerging sexuality, he leaves us reeling with nostalgia for that timeless sense of the present that is the magic of childhood. ...

We have a choice: Breakdown or Breakthrough. In THE CHAOS POINT revered author & systems theorist Ervin Laszlo tells us that we are at a critical juncture in history, a `decision-window` where we face both the danger of global collapse & the opportunity of worldwide renewal. According to Laszlo we have six to seven years to head off unsustainable trends that would lead to a `tipping point` beyond which there is no turning back. After this tipping point we either evolve to a safer, more sustainable world, or the social, economic & ecological systems that frame our life break down. This is the Chaos Point, but this need not be the end of the world, only the end of a phase of the world beyond which a new world could dawn. In today`s decision-window we have a unique chance of creating that new world & this pioneering book tells us what healing & renewal means, & how each of us can help in achieving it. ...
