Softcover/Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. The world is still full of wonder. We've just been too busy to look."Lovely. approachable. poetic." - 4 out of 5 stars, Foreword Clarion Reviews"I couldn't put it down. A profound read - and I say that with no hyperbole. It spoke to something missing in me that I cannot verbalize yet." - Bonnie Lieberman, Mom and School Board PresidentWe move through our days half-awake - rushing past the poppies, skipping the concert, ducking in out of the rain and missing the experience waiting around the corner. And then, every so often, something stops us cold. A lilting ballad. A painting in the museum we almost skipped. A friend who holds fast to joy and grace at the absolute edge of everything. In those moments, we remember what it feels like to be fully, achingly alive.Wonder is a sanctuary for those moments - and an invitation to see them in the middle of our busy, over-scheduled lives.In thirteen lyric essays across four movements, Gary Waddell takes you on a sweeping journey: from a twilight backyard in North Carolina to a Parisian chapel in the rain, from Frida Kahlo's unblinking gaze to a desert sky of breathtaking brilliance, from the fall of the Berlin Wall to a friend's porch at the end of a life well-lived. Along the way, he makes a quietly radical case - that wonder isn't a luxury reserved for grand vistas and rare occasions, but is the very point of it all, available to anyone willing to pay attention.For readers who love Anna Quindlen's A Short Guide to a Happy Life, Ross Gay's The Book of Delights, Haemin Sunim's The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down, and the lyric poetry of Mary Oliver, Wonder is a book to keep, to return to, and to give - to anyone who has everything, or would welcome a reminder to breathe deeply and notice what's in front of them.Wonder awaits. Just look. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 167.…

paperback. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…
