The Earth as Art: Views from Heaven
Klaus D. Francke

An extraordinary treat! Klaus-Dieter Francke's photographs present an ethereal geography of our planet, depcitions that could be mistaken for masterful drawings. He introduces us to a primeval, almost uninhabited place where knotted roots, meandering rivers, glaciers and dunes define the passage of time. In a few cases, humans and animals are seen traversing its broad expanses. Views of the Earth as you've never seen it before!

The Alchemist
Paulo Coelho

The Alchemist is the magical story of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who yearns to travel in search of a worldly treasure as extravagant as any ever found. From his home in Spain he journeys to the markets of Tangiers and across the Egyptian desert to a fateful encounter with the alchemist. The story of the treasures Santiago finds along the way teaches us, as only a few stories have done, about the essential wisdom of listening to our hearts, learning to read the omens strewn along life's path, and, above all, following our dreams.
