Chip Brown
Consider the power of mummified bananas. You may call exponents of this diet "woo-woos and wackos," as Brown once did, but as the director of the University of Nevada's Consciousness Research Lab said, "You're wacky before you succeed. Afterwards, you're a genius." Journalist Chip Brown walks the uncharted border between mind and body in this edgy, eloquent exploration of sickness and health-introducing us along the way to scientists and seekers, psychics and psychiatrists, gurus, goddesses, and spirit guides. Deeply personal, refreshingly funny, and always thought-provoking, this book examines what we know, and don't know, about medicine-as we continue humankind's quest to separate the salve from the snake oil and expand our appreciation for the strange magic that lies at the heart of healing.

Sylvester Long
“A gorgeous saga of the Indian race.” “This book rings true. No outsider could explain so clearly how the Indians felt.” Such reviews welcomed the publication of this fascinating book in 1928. Embraced by a host of eager readers, it was published in American, British, Dutch and German editions and touted as a thrilling account detailing the Blackfoot Indians last days of freedom. But the story was a fabrication, and Chief Long Lance was a hoax. These seemingly autobiographical tales of the last buffalo hunts and tribal adventures were created in the author's imagination. His rousing book has, however, continued to stir an eager audience.

James Hillman
In The Soul's Code, James Hillman argued that each of us is born with an innate character that calls us to what we are meant to be. Now, in The Force of Character, he looks at life's finishing act - old age. The value of aging, Hillman writes, is that "we become more characteristic of who we are simply by lasting into later years." He presents an explosive new thesis - that even age's debilitating changes are necessary and meaningful. This empowering, original work offers an entirely other viewpoint to current genetic determinism which sees no purpose in the long stretch of later years. Hillman writes, "Aging can free you from conventional constriction and transform you into a force of nature, releasing your deepest beliefs, your passionate intensity."

Norberto R Keppe
Believed to have served as a source of inspiration for Perestroika, this is a pioneering psychological work that focuses on socio-psycho-pathology. It is a study of people in power and the social structure they create. It draws remarkable parallels between the split personality of a schizophrenic and the division in society between those who produce and those who benefit from the profits of production; between governments and the people they are supposed to serve; between science and philosophy and religion; between men and women; and between generations. It then goes on to propose a model to rectify the current conditions of pathological power and corruption.

Maurice Cotterell
For centuries scholars have been baffled by Inca accounts that spoke of legendary white gods that walked the lands of South America performing miracles. Stranger still were the carvings left by the mysterious civilisations of Tiahuanaco, thought to the most ancient site on earth. It was believed the codes could never be broken. But now, for the first time ever, Maurice Cotterell unlocks the secrets of the Inca and discovers the treasure-filled tombs of Viracocha Pachacamac and Viracocha. The story of the white gods was not a myth after all. These two great sun-kings, who side-stepped the annals of history, actually lived and walked the lands of Peru over 1,500 years ago.

This volume brings together Fromm's most significant contributions on the subject.

According to Ken Wianko, a top American physician: "Magnets are not magic. Their function is very simple. Magnetotherapy helps the body regain its self-healing balance naturally, because each organ and cell in the body is influenced by magnetic fields. Cell regulation, tissue function and life itself are controlled by electromagnetic currents." This handbook shows how therapeutic magnets can be used as an aid to healing, for sports injuries, to enhance beauty treatments and for pet health. Includes a large section of magnetic treatments for specific ailments.

Harry Fisch
Say biological clock and most people think women. Yet men have biological clocks too, reveals Dr. Harry Fisch, a leading expert in male infertility. Men's clocks tick at a different rate from women's and of course cause an entirely different set of bodily and behavioural changes over the course of a lifetime. But while men's clocks don't strike a midnight toll heralding an end to fertility the way menopause does for women, male fertility, testosterone levels, and sexuality all do decline with age. Fisch's book emphasizes that even young men can have testosterone levels as low as those of much older men, leading to infertility, sexual problems, and other serious health issues. In addition, as men age, the quality of their sperm declines significantly, giving rise to an increasedchance of a Down syndrome baby, other genetic abnormalities, and miscarriage. Every couple should know all the risks and issues facing men, because these affect two of the most important things in their life: their ability to have children and their capacity to have good sex.

A fundamental difference between using runes and other methods of divination is that the runes not only have particular meanings but also specific magical powers. Runes have stronger historical roots in the world of magic and so can be used both for indicating the future (divination) and also for encouraging a change of outcome (magic). Despite the fact that rune knowledge has only survived to the present day by the thinnest of threads, its inherent practicality and flexibility has gone a long way to encouraging new and valid research and exploration. This book is an introduction to the mysterious history and use of Runes. With clear text and illustrations you can learn the meanings of runes and their significance in a reading.

Nicholas Weinstock
Based on interviews with more than 100 men, Weinstock has written the answer to the question mothers and adult sons often ponder: "Whatever happened to the easy love and eager intimacy between us?" Behind the detached and whiskered faces of manhood are the stories of how mothers still profoundly shape the lives of their sons. We hear the heartbreaking tales of boys who felt forced to wrench themselves from the comforting love of mothers in order to become men. And we hear of sons who were booted out of the warm nest of their mother's affections before they felt ready. Beneath these riveting stories of tenderness, tough love, and loyalty are the feelings of guilt, remorse, and longing that tug at the souls of men. Here lies a distillation of compassion and forgiveness for mothers and sons of all ages.

Various Contributors
This anthology is dedicated to unearthing the Jungian foundations of the archetypal seeker. The archetype of the Seeker, in search of, well, you name it - spiritual enlightenment, the meaning of life, social justice, money, even the yellow brick road. The eclectic selection of works includes poetry by Walt Whitman, Robert Frost and Anne Sexton, stories by Herman Melville, L. Frank Baum, Donald Barthelme and Alice Walker, Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "Free At Last" speech and a homily by the Dalai Lama. The introduction by Jean Houston argues that America's immigrant heritage and its enthrallment to mythic archetypes manufactured in Hollywood make it especially susceptible to the Seeker archetype, and goes on in a Jungian vein to remind us that "everything one could ever want to know is to be found in the subconscious as well as the collective unconscious of the human race and the planetary mind." But whether it helps you locate the Oversoul or not, this wide-ranging collection of intriguing and sometimes inspiring writing, graced by many quest-themed paintings and photos, is worth seeking out.

John M Lundquist
The idea of the temple - the holy precinct, the meeting place of God and man - is central to all religions. John Lundquist follows it back into the darkness of prehistory, unveiling features that are common to ancient Mesopotamian and Egyptian beliefs, Hinduism, Buddhism, Maya and Aztec cults, Islam, Judaism and Christianity; and showing examples that range from Angkor Wat to the biblical Temple of Solomon. The place of ritual and initiation, the mountain, the waters of generation, the pillar joining heaven, earth and the underworld, the path to the innermost sanctuary: these concepts are universal and eternal. They appear in sacred texts and works of art from every time and place, and in the subconscious minds of us all.
