  • Have you killed any strangers lately? Try it - it can be fun! All you have to do is make a friend; because every time you make a friend you kill a stranger. Each person whose story is in this book has learnt this exciting, valuable lesson.  Many people, able-bodied and disabled, find it hard to make friends.  The book issues the challenge to the claim that normal (?) people are responsible for the non-acceptance of disabled folk in the full life of the community.  The disabled can equally be at fault. "It's a bit like the generation gap - both sides must be willing to walk some of the way across the bridge of communication." Here are REAL people willing to share their hidden scars and their joyous victories.
  • A Literal Translation of the First Chapter of Jaimini's Upadesa Sutras. Apparently, Jaimini gave step-by-step instructions but secreted them into coded Sanskrit, with the result that every technique and principle founded in his Sutras are practised and translated differently by different astrologers. Here, for the first time, is the Sutra-by-Sutra, word by word rendition of  Jaimini's Upadesa Sutras, revelaing many secrets of Jaimini with a complete chapter devoted to the instruction of how to interpret Jaimini's coded Sutras.

  • DID YOU KNOW.... that in the Shetland Isles it is considered good luck to encounter a deformed or retarded person when going fishing? Or that the Ancient Hebrews believed that the ashes of a black kitten would enable one to see demons? Even the famous have their own beliefs and rituals: Luciano Pavarotti always looked for a bent nail on stage before he felt secure about singing an opera. On the luck front, Ranulf Flambard was unfortunate enough to be the first prisoner of the Tower of London - but as he was the builder and the architect of the Tower, he knew a secret way out and escaped. To ensure good luck, don't bring holly into the house before Christmas Eve and that in America it's unlucky to kill a toad, as these creatures were regarded by the indigenous Americans to be benevolent water-brings.   A book that is so much more than unlucky broken mirrors and walking under ladders.
  • Eleven men embarked upon a journey in 1894 with one objective: to find the great spiritual teachers of the Far East and witness their uncommon abilities. Since these Masters were scattered over a wide territory that covered a large portion of India, Tibet, China and Persia, they knew it could take years of searching many secluded villages and hidden mountain communes. Planning each step of the journey became a challenge knowing that countless miles of rugged terrain separated the remote and isolate locations that were imperative to the exploration. Even though they could plot their route on a map and see where they were headed, the destination deep within the souls of eleven scientifically trained men remained uncertain. Baird T. Spalding and the others were practical in nature and the thought of spiritual masters performing miracles seemed impossible. Despite these suspect thoughts, something compelled them to move onward. So they did. Volume 1 covers the introduction of the Master Emil the visit to the "Temple of Silence"; astral projection; walking on Water a visit to the Healing Temple; the Snowmen of the Himalayas and sheds new light on the teachings of Jesus.

  • 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.
  • Faith, a young orphan girl is adopted by a Christian couple, but her adoptive mother dies and her father's mother moves in to take care of the family.

  • A delightful book about learning to love and nurture yourself and others by understanding the true rhythms of life in the natural world. This book covers a range of disciplines and philosophies, ranging from the casting of spells and the brewing of love potions to harnessing the power of the Moon. There are also compatibility charts, useful exercises and important lessons, such as developing a sense of harmony and strength, cleansing your hurt feelings and empowering your intuition.  
  • Love has always been all around us, and many and varied are the rituals and superstitions that surround it. How to meet our true love; how to tell if our lover is true; will we be lucky in love?  Many of the symbols and signs of love have their roots planted in the mythologies of Ancient Rome and Ancient Greece, when every flower was the emblem of a god or goddess. With the spread of Christianity, flowers and trees were assigned to the saints but Christianity did not dispel the superstition and ritual of love, falling in love and loving. Did you know that if a girl wears a sprig of ivy next to her heart, she will marry the first young man she speaks to? Or if a bride finds a little spider in  the folds of her wedding gown as she is dressing, she will never be poor? There are even ways and means of causing an apparition of a future lover to appear. Beautifully illustrated.

  • Marjorie Florence Deasey and her husband Dudley Rawson Deasey were missionaries with the Unevangelised Fields Mission/Asia Pacific Christian Mission. They lived and worked with the Gogodala people at Balimo, Papua New Guinea for over forty years. Marjorie's work included translating and teaching. When Marjorie and Dudley married in 1935, she had no idea of the enormous challenges ahead. With a limited education, she had to learn another language; deal with medical cases on her doorstep; cope with an enrollment of 600 students at her school; evacuate during the ear; survive cyclones and entertain troops. After Dudley died in 1993 – did she quietly retire? No, she decided to learn how to drive, at the age of 82. A fascinating life. Illustrated with black and white photographs.
