dans les poches, au gré des allées d'herbe fraîche qui sinuent entre les euphorbes, les massifs d'iris, les grandes pivoines et les fougères du Sous-Bois des Amoureux.

Par Doris Kearns Goodwin. 2018
In this culmination of five decades of acclaimed studies in presidential history, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Doris Kearns Goodwin offers an…
illuminating exploration into the early development, growth, and exercise of leadership. Are leaders born or made? Where does ambition come from? How does adversity affect the growth of leadership? Does the man make the times or do the times make the man? Goodwin draws upon four of the presidents she has studied most closely--Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Lyndon B. Johnson (in civil rights)--to show how they first recognized leadership qualities within themselves, and were recognized by others as leaders. No common pattern describes the trajectory of leadership. Although set apart in background, abilities, and temperament, these men shared a fierce ambition and a deep-seated resilience that enabled them to surmount uncommon adversity. At their best, all four were guided by a sense of moral purpose. At moments of great challenge, they were able to summon their talents to enlarge the opportunities and lives of others. This seminal work provides an accessible and essential road map for aspiring and established leaders in every field. In today's polarized world, these stories of authentic leadership in times of apprehension and fracture take on a singular urgency. Bestseller. 2018.Leaving before the rains come

The book is designed to be read by gardeners and provides appendices of plants with particularly evocative smells that can be planted with advice on how to care for them. In this book you will not only smell the roses but every other plant Jenny Joseph grows, and whose gardening plan is here to follow. 2002.Comme un vol d'aigles (Le livre de poche ; #7693)
