Veronika Decides to Die: A Novel of Redemption (P.S.)
Twenty-four-year-old Veronika seems to have everything -- youth and beauty, boyfriends and a loving family, a fulfilling job. But something is missing in her life. So, one cold November morning, she takes a handful of sleeping pills expecting never to wake up. But she does -- at a mental hospital where she is told that she has only days to live. Inspired by events in Coelho's own life, Veronika Decides to Die questions the meaning of madness and celebrates individuals who do not fit into patterns society considers to be normal. Bold and illuminating, it is a dazzling portrait of a young woman at the crossroads of despair and liberation, and a poetic, exuberant appreciation of each day as a renewed opportunity. .

The Subsistence Perspective: Beyond the Globalized Economy
"A work of history, theory and praxis and a product of twenty years of analysis and activism, this unique book poses a radical alternative to the current globalised, free market industrial system. The authors call instead for a new economics and politics based on a subsistence perspective."--BOOK JACKET. "They explain subsistence as empowerment based on peoples' own strengths and their cooperation with each other and with nature. Rather than the endless accumulation of wealth, the aim of the subsistence perspective is happiness, quality of life and human dignity. The authors show how such a perspective is not only necessary today but already practised in diverse forms in both North and South: in urban as well as in rural areas, in agriculture as well as in markets."--BOOK JACKET..

Homemaking As a Social Art: Creating a Home for Body, Soul & Spirit
In recent years, social and economic pressures have combined to affect the traditional role of the homemaker. With much emphasis being placed on the world of "work" in contrast to "home life," many people struggle today to fulfill several functions at once. This increasingly busy and hectic climate has led many to look down on the work of the home. We are led to ask, Is there a valued place for the homemaker in modern life? Taking a spiritual perspective inspired by the work of Rudolf Steiner, Veronika van Duin shows that the task of homemaking is at the center of our social existence. She tells us that its role is nothing less than a "social art," and that homemaking needs to be formulated consciously if we are to develop happy and contented families and homes. Without claiming that there is a blueprint for creating the perfect homemaker, the author offers principles and observations based on a study of the seven "life processes" and how they affect us. In this invaluable book, van Duin addresses the significance of rhythm, relationships, an artistic environment, caring, self-development, and much more..
