As soon as you set the table, it's a party! When the food is delicious and the servings are generous, the company will be joyful--body and spirit in harmony, memories in the making. The inspirational Perla Servan-Schreiber drew from her Mediterranean roots, culinary influences gathered while traveling, and tips gleaned from great chefs like Yotam Ottolenghi and Alain Ducasse to create ninety simple, flexitarian recipes for gatherings big or small. Her seasonal recipes cover every occasion, from causal summer picnics to formal holiday parties, and from tea-time treats to sprawling buffets.
Cooking is a powerful vehicle for celebration and delight, and sometimes the fun starts with guests in the kitchen helping to prepare the meal while nibbling on a light aperitif. For a festive lunch, Perla serves summer salads together, such as Red Onion and Sumac; Mushroom and Herb; and Quinoa, Tomato, and Parsley. In the winter, her comforting Minestrone, Phô, Chestnut Mushroom Soup, or Spinach-Ginger Lentils are followed by a hearty main dish like no-fail Mushroom Risotto, Osso Buco, Egyptian Koshari, or Chinese Duck. No meal is complete without a grand finale, and her desserts are unforgettable--from Raspberry Clafoutis to Honey-Roasted Abricots to Tiramisu.
The best memories come from time spent together over a meal, and these inspired recipes are designed to keep hosts at the table, able to savor and enjoy every moment.

A calmer life enriched by its surroundings, with more space at home,
a burgeoning garden, and a relaxed ambiance is a seductive combination.
But a country house is different from a cozy apartment, just steps from
modern conveniences. In their search for a deeper experience, this trio
of authors embarked on a long-term project that brought unexpected
joy along with the challenges.
Life in the countryside takes adjustment and there is much to be
learned-from furnishing and organizing your home to getting the most
from nature and your garden, and from dressing to suit your new setting
to hosting informal soirées where you'll linger over dinner with your
guests. This is the art of countryfication. Through portraits of individuals
and families, this book provides insight, inspiration, practical advice,
and recipes that celebrate country living, all while retaining a Parisian flair.
"The art of war is like water which flows clear of heights and fills the hollows"! So what else Master Sun Tzu? How can one translate your metaphorical phrasing into practical fruitful advice for Westerners? Though it was written 25 centuries ago, your master-piece is currently the most read and used world-wide by strategists whatever fields they belong to.
Its main guidelines recommend molding with circumstances and identifying the potential in any situation, cultivating change, avoiding conflicts as far as possible, and transforming opponents into unwitting allies! Why have so many contemporaries chosen it as their bedside book? How does such a classic from ancient rural and feudal China provide a successful answer to our modern personal and professional preoccupations?
To take up such a challenge and make understandable and applicable the precepts of Sun Tzu, the author develops and adapts one by one the 36 traditional Chinese stratagems and enriches them by resorting to the major Asian and Western thinkers of strategy. By telling stories and assuming a deliberate purpose of popularization, he provides keys to conceive creative strategies based on three major principles: efficiency, harmony and paradox.

Early on the morning of August 8, 2016, Sri T.K.V. Desikachar, son of the great yogi Sri Tirumalai Krishnamacharya, passed away in Chennai, in the Tamil Nadu, a province of southern India.
Those whose written accounts are compiled here were his personal students for many years. Some of them, Indians, taught alongside him at the Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram for 20, 30, or 40 years. Others, Europeans, belong to the "pioneers" who, beginning in the 1960s and 1970s, went to Madras, sometimes yearly, to study with him. Some of them had first received the teaching of Krishnamurti, in London or in Switzerland, and from there went to Madras, wishing to meet this young teacher, with whom Krishnamurti himself had studied yoga. This book bears witness, then, to the fifty years of teaching they received, and to friendship.
Beyond the content of that teaching, these accounts reflect a page in the history of transmitting that he "wrote", in his way, with the deep and specific attention and friendship that he gave to each. Thus there is no heritage, strictly speaking, only loyalties that, through experience, reflection, continuous research, and sharing, continue to recount the constantly revitalized story of this lifelong art, which is yoga.

Vili Ravnjak je znan kot eden najboljsih poznavalcev ezoterike in novodobne duhovnosti na Slovenskem. V knjigi Lotosov cvet na vodni gladini pise predvsem s pozicije izkusenega regresoterapevta in ucitelja meditacije ter obenem kot kriticni opazovalec sprememb sodobnega druzbenega in duhovnega zivljenja. Knjigo Lotosov cvet nad vodno gladino sestavljata dve samostojni celoti: umetniska pripoved Novemu rojstvu naproti in eseji Duhovni izzivi in protislovja zivljenja. Obe povezuje osrednja tema, to je reinkarnacija in karma ter nacini notranjega osvobajanja in iskanja trajnega razsvetljenja. Vili Ravnjak, ki velja za enega najboljsih poznavalcev ezoterike in novodobne duhovnosti na Slovenskem, pise tokrat predvsem s pozicije izkusenega regresoterapevta in ucitelja meditacije ter obenem kot kriticni opazovalec sprememb sodobnega druzbenega in duhovnega zivljenja. V delu Novemu rojstvu naproti spremljamo nevidno potovanje duse Lucy Bell od smrti do ponovnega rojstva; na poti skozi onostranstvo jo spremlja Angel Varuh, ki ji pomaga spoznavati pretekle inkarnacije; Lucy Bell vstopa v razlicna zivljenja, kjer zaman isce izpolnitev prave ljubezni, zato se ne zeli vec roditi, kar pa ji preprecuje zakon karme ... Avtor na psiholosko pronicljiv in pripovedno sugestiven nacin razkriva stevilna vzrocna ozadja zivljenjskih usod v posameznih inkarnacijah in napore duse, kako se osvoboditi vplivov negativne partnerske karme. V esejih Duhovni izzivi in protislovja zivljenja se Ravnjak loteva razlicnih problemov, s katerimi se srecujemo na duhovni poti, zlasti v obdobjih velikih notranjih prehodov in osebnostnih kriz. V situacije vsakdanjega zivljenja vnasa meditacijsko modrost in skusa odgovoriti na vedno aktualna vprasanja, kot so, na primer: Kako ziveti zavestno sredi neozavescenega sveta? Kako v kaosu zivljenja ohranjati notranji mir in spokojnost? Kako ziveti svojo individualnost in svobodo, pa kljub temu upostevati nacela nesebicnosti in nenasilja ter druzbene strpnosti in medsebojnega razumevanja?
Nova knjiga uglednega duhovnega iskalca in ucitelja modrosti. Sestavljena je iz treh delov - prva dva dela tvorijo eseji in predavanja, v katerih se ukvarja predvsem s prakticnimi vprasanji, kako meditacijo (zavestno navzocnost in razsvetljeno modrost) povezati z vsakdanjim zivljenjem in s tem v sebi preseci okvire osebne in druzbene karme, tretji del knjige pa je posvecen Ravnjakovim spominom na tridesetletno obdobje duhovnega zorenja in ucenja.
Ceprav je poklicna ustvarjalna pot Vilija Ravnjaka (1960) v prvi vrsti povezana z umetniskim delom v Slovenskem narodnem gledaliscu v Mariboru, ves cas zivi tudi vzporedno zivljenjsko zgodbo duhovnega iskalca in ucitelja modrosti. Z novodobno duhovnostjo se je prvic srecal pred tridesetimi leti (1987), pred petindvajsetimi leti (1992) pa je zacel delovati kot razsirjevalec duhovnih znanj. Kot avtor televizijske serije Tretje oko in stevilnih knjig (Spoznavanje Visjega Jaza, Smaragdna pot, Prebujanje v svetlobo, Lotosov cvet nad vodno gladino ...) o ezoteriki in razlicnih duhovnih izrocilih sodi med najbolj znane slovenske novodobne duhovne ucitelje in pisce.
Glavnina Ravnjakovega duhovnega dela v zadnjih letih je povezana z ucenjem zenovskega nacina meditiranja, ki ga posreduje tako najsirsemu krogu ljudi (v Mariboru od leta 2010 vodi Javne skupinske meditacije za razvoj miru in socutja) kot manjsim skupinam meditantov, ki se z meditacijo in duhovnim delom na sebi ukvarjajo poglobljeno v okviru njegove Duhovne sole (od leta 2011) in Meditacijskega umika v tisino (od leta 2012).
Knjiga s simbolicnim naslovom Zen cvetocih cesenj je povzetek njegovega uciteljskega delovanja v tem obdobju. Sestavljena je iz treh delov. Prva dva dela tvorijo eseji in predavanja, v katerih se ukvarja predvsem s prakticnimi vprasanji, kako meditacijo (zavestno navzocnost in razsvetljeno modrost) povezati z vsakdanjim zivljenjem in s tem v sebi preseci okvire osebne in druzbene karme. Gre za pristop k duhovnosti in zivljenju nasploh, ki je zelo realisticen in precej drugacen, kot ga danes praviloma ponujajo najrazlicnejse duhovne sole, tecaji in delavnice. Tretji del knjige je posvecen Ravnjakovim spominom na tridesetletno obdobje duhovnega zorenja in ucenja (1987-2017), kjer opisuje svojo pot ucenca in ucitelja, kajti obe podrocji sta pri njem tesno prepleteni. Ker je bilo njegovo delovanje vedno povezano s stevilnimi ljudmi in skupinami, se njegov avtobiografski esej bere tudi kot zgodovinski obris novodobne duhovnosti v Mariboru in Sloveniji.
«Há dois mil anos, a vinda de Jesus instaurava uma ordem de coisas em que, pela primeira vez na história dos homens, eram postos em primeiro lugar os valores do amor, da bondade, do perdão, da paciência, da doçura, da humildade, do sacrifício. E apesar de, até aqui, a palavra de Jesus não ter sido bem compreendida nem bem aplicada, bastou que se fizesse luz em certos seres para ela se transmitir de século em século. O amor ao próximo ensinado por Jesus, e que decorre desta verdade de que os seres humanos são filhos e filhas de um mesmo Pai, permitiu que a ideia de fraternidade abrisse um caminho para si própria.»
