Sagar asks: How are we - as a species living what we think is a civilised life - to survive? How do we continue to live in an overcrowded world whose finite resources are being rapidly exhausted and whose biological support systems are close to breakdown? There is a wide-spread and fast-growing belief that tinkering with economics and local conservation measures are not enough; that what is needed is a revolution in our consciousness regarding our place in the natural world and our responsibilities towards it. Science and religion are often referred to - but very rarely is there any mention of literature. Sagar attempts to reassert the essential relationship between imagination, nature and human survival. By close readings of major works by seventeen of the greatest writers (from Homer to Hughes) that literature has a central contribution to make in our efforts to discover the laws of nature and human nature, and to live within them. -

This second book in the series contains 143 additional quatrains written and deciphered by Nostradamus. He emphasised that humanity could change the future if we knew which time-lines we were travelling on and what the results of that path would be. Humanity is not powerless - much of the horror seen by Nostradamus can be averted. This volume includes the horoscope of the Anti-Christ; the correlation of 666 (the mark of the Beast) and computers; more about World War III and which countries will be affected; how AIDS was a planned disease by those in power, and when the cure will be found; dangerous new technology capable of controlling the weather and creating earthquakes; which continents will survive the axial shift of the Earth and the melting polar ice-caps; an estimation of the date of the axial shift - and what the world will look like after the war and the shift. -

Sequel to The Man Who Listens. Many years have passed since John Godfrey's sanctuary was built as a refuge for the lost. It is just two marble rooms: one for those waiting to be heard and one for the Man Who Listens. The Man Who Listens accepts every blasphemy, every pitiful excuse, and every intimate tale of degradation with silent understanding. He is a mysterious stranger. Drawn to the Sanctuary are the grieving, the despairing, the cynical, the defeated, the dying, the betrayed, and the broken...a minister who no longer believes in God; a loving usband who would kill his wife to prevent her lingering death from cancer; a thirty-three year old 'boy'; a rich man who has nothing; a coloured man agonising over a life lived as a symbol; a woman whose hope is a dream; a mother forsaking her faith in the wake of her child’s leukemia; a suicidal working man who has lost his business and his family; an artist going blind and mad; and a disbelieving cop who furiously seeks out the Sanctuary for one purpose: to expose the Man Who Listens as a fraud. For each, there is a revealing confrontation and the discovery that he or she needs to make. -
Hillman illuminates the central importance of character to our spiritual and emotional lives. Now he completes his exploration of character with a profound and revolutionary reflection on life's second half. Character requires the additional years...the last years confirm and fulfill character. Far from blunting or dulling the self, the accumulation of experience concentrates the essence of our being, heightening our individual mystery and unique awareness of life. Drawing on his grounding in Jungian psychology, Hillman explains here the archetypes and myths that govern the self's realignment in our final years. Here is an enriching journey through the three stages of aging - lasting, the deepening that comes with longevity; leaving, the preparation for departure; and left, the special legacy we each bestow on our survivors. Along the way the book explores the meanings and often hidden virtues of characteristic physical and emotional changes, such as loss of memory, alterations in sleep patterns and the mysterious upsurge in erotic imagination. -
