| SEARCH FOR 11:11 : A Journey into the Spirit World [George Mathieu Barnard] Details George Barnard's association of decades with these valiant and trustworthy creatures. Its 260 pages relate to his discovering who they are, and the many ways in which a platoon of Midwayers and a lone mortal can make themselves useful for the benefit of many. These extraordinary planetary helpers -- sometimes known as the Midway creatures -- dwell in the realms midway between angel and human, and belong to a group just 1,111 in number. Their 11:11 time-prompts, known to many around the world, are the signals of their presence. They and their human helpmates quietly serve the planet behind the scenes. These interspecies teams have usually gone unrecorded in the annals of history -- until now. George Barnard is among the first to achieve visual recognition of these beings, and the only known living mortal to work with them for more than four decades. In this book, the first in a series, Barnard goes public for the first time with a compelling story of revelation, healing, and planetary redemption. { 243pp, 140x215mm, March 2005; PB, £12.50, 0957788967:9780957788961 , AtlasBooks (11.11 Publishers) } |

| BEIJING 360 : Panoramic Impressions [Tamas D Varga & Zemin Yu] Text in Chinese & English.

| FAITH, FAVOR & FINANCE [Karen N Tobias] Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. -- Matthew 24:45-46 When it comes to the subject of money, it doesn't matter if God gives a little or a lot. This book bets the question of the reader, 'Will you be responsible, reliable, and loyal?' God's call is not to be successful, but to be faithful. Readers will find that being faithful involves being obedient to God despite what they see and that it is easy to trust God when they can physically see what's going to happen, but takes a lot more trust when they don't see the light at the end of the tunnel and when people are ridiculing them. 'Faith, Favor and Finance' suggests that despite these troubles, the reader must keep moving forward based on God's Word because though they may not always understand the why behind their instructions, God has said to stand on His promises, not His explanations. This book is for readers who need a little more faith, want God's favour and don't mind having more finance. { 108pp, 140x215mm, June 2006; PB, £9.50, 0970562217:9780970562210 , AtlasBooks (ABCs of Money Ministries) } |

| FLIGHT OF THE FEATHERED SERPENT : Are These the Teachings of Judas Iscariot?: 2nd Edition [Armando Cosani. Foreword by Belzebuub] One of the great spiritual teachings of any age, imbued with a rare wisdom and profound depth found only in the most revered of sacred texts, but what is its origin? It begins with the true story of a journalist in the Second World War. His life changes inexplicably after he meets with a mysterious man, who leaves him with a series of profound writings - one being a firsthand account of Judas' life with Jesus and the events leading up to the betrayal. These writings also contain extraordinary insights into the lives of Judas, Jesus and the disciples, which astonishingly seem to correlate with the recently discovered Gospel of Judas. Could these be the teachings of Judas Iscariot and his account of his relationship with Jesus? Could this be Judas' attempt to clear his own name, in a miraculous effort to change the world's perceptions and help humanity in its spiritual quest? { 214pp, 155x230mm, March 2009; PB, £12.50, 0978986415:9780978986414 , Absolute Publishing Press } |

| WE'RE HAVING A TUESDAY [DK Simoneau. Illustrated by Brad Cornelius] Ages 9 to 12 years. This is the book for everyone who knows a child of divorce. It provides opportunities for children and adults to share feelings about divorce. It's a true-to-life story of one little girl's process of coping with her parents' divorce. She discovers an important lesson that her parents' love is with her no matter what home she is in. Unlike most children's divorce books, this one isn't about assuring children that their parents' divorce isn't their fault. Instead, it's about showing them how to voice their frustration with the situation. It is more than just a beautiful picture book that discusses missing simple things as the girl shuffles between homes. It provides a special interactive element that allows children and parents to discuss things they miss about each other as well as ways they can remember each other while they are apart. It is a wonderful communication tool for anyone discussing divorce with children, including parents, teachers, therapists, paediatricians, schools, libraries, and families. { 32pp, 210x210mm, May 2006; HB, £14.50, 1933302135:9781933302133 , Midpoint Trade Books (AC Publications Group LLC) } |

| MEMORIZING THE PERIODIC TABLE OF CHEMICAL ELEMENTS : A Simple Method [Darden Dickson] In the fall of 1997 I took an Introduction to Chemistry class (Chem 100) at Tacoma Community College, Tacoma, Washington. We were required to memorise at least eight or ten of the more important chemical elements. I asked myself at the time if it was possible to memorise the number of protons and their symbols for the entire periodic table? That question grew to include memorisation of nuclear mass numbers. The answer to both questions is yes, and the process is a simple one as you will see. The first part of the memorisation process is to use a blank Periodic Table. This book provides one that you can duplicate for memory work. You can also construct one with two sheets of college-ruled paper, a straight edge, and a pen or pencil. Building one for yourself is a very helpful aid in memorisation because it requires you to learn the number of chemical elements in each row and the number of rows. Either way, once you have a blank Periodic Table you are ready to begin your memory work. First of all, a chemical element is identified by the number of protons(1). Hydrogen has one, Helium two, Lithium has three, etc. The number of protons goes in sequential order from 1 to 112, each number representing an individual chemical element. Memorisation requires associating the number of protons with the chemical element and its symbol. Its physical place in the Periodic Table helps in memorisation. This book provides a complete sequential listing of chemical elements by the number of protons (Table 1) to aid you in the memorisation process. The second part of the memorisation process, once the symbols for the chemical elements and the number of protons have been recorded is to memorise the formulae and the series of black numbers shown in the Memorisation Key. These will help you to easily derive the nuclear mass numbers. 1 I have chosen the phrase "the number of protons" to replace the phrase "the atomic numbers" for philosophy of science reasons. The word atom in Greek n the fall of 1997 I took an Introduction to Chemistry class (Chem 100) at Tacoma Community College, Tacoma, Washington. We were required to memorise at least eight or ten of the more important chemical elements. I asked myself at the time if it was possible to memorise the number of protons and their symbols for the entire periodic table? That question grew to include memorisation of nuclear mass numbers. The answer to both questions is yes, and the process is a simple one as you will see. The first part of the memorisation process is to use a blank Periodic Table. This book provides one that you can duplicate for memory work. You can also construct one with two sheets of college-ruled paper, a straight edge, and a pen or pencil. Building one for yourself is a very helpful aid in memorisation because it requires you to learn the number of chemical elements in each row and the number of rows. Either way, once you have a blank Periodic Table you are ready to begin your memory work. First of all, a chemical element is identified by the number of protons(1). Hydrogen has one, Helium two, Lithium has three, etc. The number of protons goes in sequential order from 1 to 112, each number representing an individual chemical element. Memorisation requires associating the number of protons with the chemical element and its symbol. Its physical place in the Periodic Table helps in memorisation. This book provides a complete sequential listing of chemical elements by the number of protons (Table 1) to aid you in the memorisation process.The second part of the memorisation process, once the symbols for the chemical elements and the number of protons have been recorded is to memorise the formulae and the series of black numbers shown in the Memorisation Key. These will help you to easily derive the nuclear mass numbers. 1 I have chosen the phrase "the number of protons" to replace the phrase "the atomic numbers" for philosophy of science reasons. The word atom in Greek (άτομοσ) means indivisible or uncut. All the chemical elements of the Periodic Table can be broken down into smaller parts. { 16pp, 185x290mm, October 2008; SB, £16.99, 097991860X:9780979918605 , AtlasBooks (Advanced Noospheric Systems) } |
| MOSES THE HERETIC : A Novel [Daniel Spiro] At a time when cynicism masquerades as wisdom and fundamentalism as religiosity, Moses the Hertic offers a much needed antidote. It asks the questions, "What would a Biblical Prophet look like in the 21st century? How might he fight to change our world? And how would the world as we know it fight right back at him?" In the character of Rabbi Moses Levine, Spiro portrays what the Biblical Moses might be like were he active today. Like his contemporaries, Moses Levine is no miracle worker. He must cope with the limitations of his humanity. A tireless and impassioned worker for equity, truth, peace and environmental stewardship, Moses enjoys tremendous success but at the cost of an ever-growing set of enemies desperate to destroy his reputation and legacy. { 310pp, 155x230mm, August 2008; HB, £16.99, 0974764531:9780974764535 , AtlasBooks (Aegis Press) } |

| IS YOUR BODY BABY-FRIENDLY? : Unexplained Infertility, Miscarriage & IVF Failure -- Explained [Alan E Beer MD, Julia Kantecki & Jane Reed] According to this reference from a leading authority who has worked with more than 7,000 couples, women who have experienced difficulty conceiving or multiple miscarriages may be suffering from treatable dysfunctions of their immune systems. Providing details that are both technical and accessible, this book explains how chemical therapy can temporarily regulate immune responses that might otherwise unleash natural killer cells. Sections cover the most common and adverse immune problems, including tissue compatibility, blood clotting defects, and antibodies that fight sperm, fetal cells, hormones, and neurotransmitters, and also outline clinical protocol for comprehensive immune testing. The discussion incorporates the author's own dramatic account of his clinical breakthroughs, the rejection of his ideas by mainstream medical practitioners, and his research showing that failed in vitro fertilization (IVF), infertility, and repeated miscarriages are often the result of abnormal immune reactions. { 483pp, 155x230mm, October 2006; PB, £20.99, 0978507800:9780978507800 , IPG (AJR Publishing) } |
| AL DUFDAA AL NARI / FIREBELLY [J C Michaels] Text in Arabic. Firebelly, a small red-bellied frog missing two feet, hides his stumps from the others. He is observant and thoughtful, and spends his time under a waterfall talking to an Old Frog who tells him about his adventures in the wild as well as what it means to be chosen as a pet. One day, ten-year-old Caroline selects Firebelly from the pet store. Although initially fearful, Firebelly is soon overjoyed to have his own grand container. Caroline's father wants to exchange him for a frog with four feet, but Caroline resists -- who else would care for such a frog. When Firebelly is temporarily moved in a rental car, the lid of his container comes off and he hides. Unable to decide between a comfortable life as a pet and an adventurous life in the wild, Firebelly is immobilised by indecision. The car is returned and Firebelly is confronted by the loss of both Caroline and his comfortable home. The car is rented by a man with a troubled teenage daughter, Claire. After a conflict, Claire steals the car and searches for something meaningful in her life. Although Firebelly had only thought of people as potential pet owners, he suddenly realises that only he, a small and insignificant frog, can help this large and unknowable person. Even though he may be tossed out the window, Firebelly realises his next jump will create his life. With one great leap, he confronts the unknown driver. At that moment, Claire understands that only she can care for this spectacular and unexpected being. Underlying this story is the philosophy of Heidegger, Sartre, Dostoyevsky, and Kierkegaard. { 340pp, 140x215mm, December 2008; PB, £9.99, 9776171133:9789776171138 , AtlasBooks (Al-Balsam Publishing House) } |

| JORDAN : Images from the Air [Jane Taylor; Foreword by HM King 'Abdullah II'] This book enables us to share a privileged Olympian perspective of this glorious land. No worm's-eye view can capture the panoramic grandeur that aerial photography can convey -- the contours of the earth, the layout of a whole city with its interesting streets and pre-eminent structures, or the architectural plan of ancient buildings. This book -- the author/photographer's celebration of twenty years of aerial photography of Jordan -- celebrates too the changing colours of the seasons, from the green of spring to the rich browns and ochres of summer, autumn and winter. It is a tribute not only to a land of outstanding beauty and fascinating history, but to the warmth and generosity of the Jordanian people. REVIEW: "...a magnificent aerial photographic portrayal of Jordan's multi-layered histroy, an almost irresistable invitation for visitors to come and see it all for themselves. ...By the end the reader has a comprehensive understanding of the major forces which have shaped Jordan's identity. ...as an enticement to visit and an enchanting introduction to the glories of Jordan superbly photographed, this book could hardly be bettered." -- Robyn Thomas, Palestine Exploration Quarterly, 2007. { 160pp, 215x280mm, December 2005; HB, £19.99, 9957451073:9789957451073 , Al-Uzza Books } |

| YOU CAN'T MANAGE TIME : But You Can Manage Many Priorities [Susan de la Vergne] There's no such thing as time management. Time can't be made to last longer or spent faster than it comes. It can't be saved up for later. It simply proceeds as it always has, uninterrupted, and all anyone can do is live within it. 'You Can't Manage Time' is a guide for overwhelmed professionals doing their level best to get it all done. However, the way to do it isn't by managing time but instead by managing yourself -- your creativity, your energy, and your communication. Early on, the reader is invited to complete a short assessment (Ask Yourself) aimed at identifying strengths and shortcomings relative to getting things done. The 'Ask Yourself Score Sheet' organises the responses into categories, six in all. Five of the six categories are squarely within an individual's direct ability to control and manage (for example, procrastination, professionalism, communications). The last category -- Beyond Your Control -- acknowledges that certainly there are things that fall out of the sky and land in your lap. The point of the book is that it is well within the reader's power to improve significantly. More than a mere how-to, it's a book of encouragement and practical advice. The author also includes the practical application of emotional intelligence in the workplace, and there are a number of places where practical recommendations about handling the challenges of managing many priorities are linked to Daniel Goleman's Emotional Intelligence model. { 129pp, 140x215mm, September 2007; PB, £13.50, 0979298709:9780979298707 , AtlasBooks (Alder Business Publishing) } |

| CONFESSIONS OF A BI-POLAR MARDI GRAS QUEEN [Marie Etienne] "Confessions of a Bi-Polar Mardi Gras Queen" swings between hilarity and devastation in this collection of quirky true stories. A former debutant and one of nine children growing up in a well-to-do family in Southern Louisiana, Marie Etienne spent decades risking everything in her need to find happiness, sanity, and love. Her increasingly erratic behavior, which took its toll on her two sons, mirrored the drama of her upbringing. At 43, on the brink of suicide and recently diagnosed as bi-polar, her last-ditch hope was to come to terms with her deep-rooted feelings of fear, shame, and resentment by facing head-on who she really was, who she wanted to be, and what she was willing to do to make her life worth living.Etienne's fast-paced memoir, told through non-linear, thematically connected stories, reveals the unstoppable determination of a woman forging her own path. 'Confessions of a Bi-Polar Mardi Gras Queen' explores the themes of love versus lust, the legacy of abuse and mental illness, the impact of a sibling's murder, magic, faith, forgiveness, and courage. { 336pp, 150x215mm, April 2009; PB, £19.50, 0974847410:9780974847412 , Midpoint Trade Books (Alluvium Books) } |
| STORKBITES : A Memoir [Marie Etienne] In her memoir Marie Etienne paints a powerful picture of her wealthy Louisiana family -- a mother who bounces from sobriety to drunkenness, kindness to vicious cruelty, and an eccentric father who takes bizarre steps to protect his nine children from danger. "Storkbites" weaves two timelines -- one showing a childhood filled with abuse, insanity, and material excess, and the other, the adult trying to make her way in California as a new mom. Murder, suicide, promiscuity, and alcoholism overshadow Mardi Gras balls, Christmas celebrations, and a daughter's bittersweet coming-of-age. Vivid scenes depict Daddy, nightly, tucking his children into bed, and hours later, Mummy waking them for a beating. Marie is seduced by her married gynaecologist. Pull-the-plug battles emerge as Mummy lies dying in ICU. In the midst of a divorce, Marie sees her handprint on her son's back and vows to stop the cycle of abuse -- both as victim and perpetrator. Filled with hope, the memoir shows the fierce love between siblings and the determination of one young mother desperate to escape her abusive past. { 340pp, 155x230mm, August 2003; PB, £16.99, 0974847402:9780974847405 , Midpoint Trade Books (Alluvium Books) } |

| QUIET HERO : The Untold Medal of Honor Story of George E Wahlen at the Battle for Iwo Jima [Gary W Toyn] This powerful story documents the Battle of Iwo Jima from the perspective of extraordinary navy corpsman George Wahlen. After decades of silence, this survivor of one of World War 2's most horrific battles divulges the gritty details of his incredible experiences. Upon landing with a company of 250 marines, Wahlen fought alongside them. Under repeated grenade and mortar fire himself, Wahlen refused evacuation, preferring to aid those he perceived to be in greater danger. Witnesses of his heroics remain dumbfounded he survived, and while his incredible feats of bravery saved countless marines, the intensity of the battle left few men of the company unscathed -- they suffered the highest killed-in-action ratio of any marine company during a single battle in US history. The significance of his story lies in the historic context of the battle for Iwo Jima; while many remember the iconic flag-raising photograph captured during this conflict, few realise the battle was the most costly of World War II for America. After receiving a Medal of Honour from President Harry Truman in 1945, Wahlen has been the quintessential quiet hero, refusing the adulation usually bestowed on nationally recognised veterans. { 240pp, 135x230mm, September 2007; PB, £12.50, 0976154781:9780976154785 , IPG (American Legacy Media) } |

| RAYNA OF NIGHTWIND : First of the Taren Novels [R A Baker] From the stunning imagination of R. A. Baker comes the first novel in his Taren series. In the troubled land of Taren rules a bitter, oppressive regent named Nephredom, who alone maintains the "Gate" -- a psi-magical barrier that contains thousands of mutated beasts, that were once men. However, the strain of keeping the Gate has pushed Nephredom to the edge of madness, and it is only a matter of time before the Gate opens. . . Into this world comes an outsider. Following a bizarre lightning storm, college student Rayna Powell finds herself lost and alone in Taren with only her stubborn instincts and logical mind to guild her. She is a student of science, but what she experiences in Taren defies science, and forces her to come to terms with the unknown powers growing inside her. Many of the people of Taren believe Rayna to be a "power", the greatest kind of mage, who holds wields the legendary "magic chaotic". Treachery and political strife run rampant as opposing factions clash, with Rayna caught in the middle. She reluctantly joins forces with a mysterious woman with a bounty (imposed by Nephredom himself) on her head, who -- in exchange for Rayna's help -- promises to help Rayna in her quest to return home. However, as they flee and hide from Nephredom's red-robed minions, the price of the stranger's help may be higher than what Rayna is willing to pay. Rayna of Nightwind is a bold sci-fi/fantasy hybrid, resonating notes of Silverberg and Terry Brooks, yet starkly painted with the author's unique brush. Compelling, and often humorous, the richly imagined world of Taren beckons. { 328pp, 155x230mm, May 2008; HB, £24.99, 0978751876:9780978751876 , AtlasBooks (Apollo House Press) } |

| BUSINESSMAN [Yakup Almelek] The hero of the play, super-rich Aydin Tuna, is one of the country's most successful businessmen. He bases his life on money and power, until the day he finds out that he has an untreatable illness. In this play, Yakup Almelek reformulates the dilemma of health or wealth in a contemporary setting. Aydin Tuna notices that money and power are of no use without health. In his desperation, he starts to reorder his life on his own terms. He unites his efforts to be himself again, purified of past mistakes, with his search for a cure. The little things that he had not been able to see until then suddenly gain new meaning in his life, and together with the urge to settle scores with his past, they take him to Sicily, where the happiness, health, and love that no wealth or knowledge can ever give are waiting for him in a humble guesthouse in a little village. Because nothing of his former life, a life where he had become a symbol of power and where he thought he held sway over everything, remains, because he has broken the cycle with a human approach, he reaches a point far surpassing all his hopes. { 151pp, 155x210mm, August 2008; PB, £7.50, 9944070920:9789944070928 , AtlasBooks (Arion Publishing) } |

| BLACKNESS OF A WHITE NIGHT : Stories & Poems [Sherry Mangan] From Harvard-educated aesthete and promising young man of letters to experimenter in 'rebel verse', revolutionary socialist, and successful Time Inc. journalist, Sherry Mangan defies, as recent scholarship has shown, all the stereotypes of 1930s literati, especially with regard to the deep level of his political commitment. Despite the turmoil and physical pain at the end of his life in the 1950s, Mangan carried out attempts during this final period to work exclusively on his own writing -- something that he had been unable to do since the late 1930s owing to his numerous political and journalistic responsibilities.

For all readers, it will serve as a good introduction to a heretofore forgotten writer. { 64pp, 140x220mm, December 1987; PB, £5.50, 0933292171:9780933292178 , Arts End Books } |

It represents the tools that have helped the author to acknowledge and validate her kids, to make them feel good about themselves and their places in the world, and, most important by far, to show them how much she cares for them as people and individuals, not just as warm bodies. { 200pp, 155x230mm, August 2007; PB, £14.50, 0979645808:9780979645808 , AtlasBooks (At Risk Educational Services) } |

| CITIES OF DREAMS : When Women Ruled the Earth [Stan Gooch] This is a work of breathtaking scope and originality. Yet Stan Gooch's reconstruction of the lost civilisation which preceded our own, and unlike other such attempts, is based at every turn on hard and accepted archaeological fact, the extensive red ochre mines of southern Africa (100,000-40,000 years Before Present) the bear skull altar of Drachenloch in Switzerland (75,000 years Before Present) the flower graves of Iraq (60,000 years Before Present). It is not just the case that we were not the first. It is the case, amazingly, that all ancient legends are true. The Minotaur did live at the centre of the maze, Sleeping Beauty did waken to the Knight's kiss, the fairy people did meet and dance in the moonlight, and Woman once ruled the whole magical Earth. { 298pp, 155x230mm, December 1995; PB, £9.95, 1898541027:9781898541028 , Aulis Publishers } |
| DARK MOON : Apollo & the Whistle-Blowers [Mary D Bennett & David S Percy] As the dust settles on the 30th anniversary of Apollo 11, information is now coming to light that throws into serious doubt the authenticity of the Apollo record. New evidence clearly suggests that NASA hoaxed the photographs taken on the surface of the Moon. These disturbing findings are supported by detailed analysis of the Apollo images by professional photographer David S Percy ARPS and physicist David Groves PhD. The numerous inconsistencies clearly visible in the Apollo photographic account are quite irrefutable. Recent research indicates that the errors evidenced in DARK MOON were deliberately planted by individuals determined to leave clues to the faking in which they were unwillingly involved. DARK MOON is the answer to the question: did the Apollo missions really land a man on the Moon and return him alive and well to Earth, or is the record incorrect? { 568pp, 245x175mm, January 1999; PB, £16.99, 1898541108:9781898541103 , Aulis Publishers } |

| PUG SHERIDAN [Sandra Cline] 'Pug Sheridan' proves herself to be a lively protagonist and a sure-footed storyteller in a compelling coming-of-age chronicle set in turn-of-the-century rural Alabama. At the outset, Pug looks back upon the decade that will form her narrative and begins her tale with trepidation: “The man I shot had friends whose hearts and minds remain as closed as his once was. It has become my habit to listen for footsteps behind me in the dark... As I stir the smouldering ashes of the past, I can feel the searing heat on my face.” Here is a first-person voice that is both sassy and poetic. Pug’s 'confession' builds, inexorably, toward what appears to be a justified homicide. Pug forms indelible friendships with six extraordinary young women who dub their taboo multi-ethnic sorority 'The Secret Society of the Seven Sisters'. They are menaced one Halloween night by six drunken, delinquent boys who grow up to form the core of the local, resurgent Ku Klux Klan. The fearful asymmetry between these groups and their ideologies -- one female, the other male, one progressive, the other reactionary, one representing inclusiveness, the other prejudice and hatred -- produces much of the novel’s considerable tension without descending to male-bashing. While remaining uplifting, 'Pug Sheridan' is written in a magical realist mode filled with cosmic ironies and mysterious synchronies, often highlighted with supernatural overtones. Emphasis is laid on the premise that life is a mystical journey; it’s all about choices -- individual and cultural. Yet, if the story is informed, perhaps indirectly, by the influence of Garcia Marquez or Toni Morrison, it also draws upon some of the archetypal plot conventions of the Victorian novel, making for a unique blending of disparate influences. A page-turner with a rapid pulse, 'Pug Sheridan' will be treasured by readers of all ages. { 275pp, 135x210mm, August 2004; PB, £12.50, 0975455443:9780975455449 , AtlasBooks (Autumn Leaves Publishing) } |

| PRINCIPLED PROFIT : Marketing That Puts People First [Shel Horowitz] Horowitz offers the latest addition to the deluge of morally-centred business tomes. In one way, it's an overturning of traditional corporate wisdom -- see your competitors as your allies, not your adversaries, Horowitz suggests -- but it's also something we've been hearing an awful lot of lately: build meaningful relationships with your customers, view your employees as your partners and so on. Nevertheless, the arguments are all sound and illustrated with the customer-obsessed success stories of ventures like Saturn and Nordstrom. Horowitz is at his best when displaying his canny understanding of the media world, advising how to fit your business's message with the media's need to produce timely, relevant stories. { 160pp, 150x227m, March 2003; PB, £14.99, 0961466669:9780961466664 , R&D (AWM Books) } |

From a new perspective, one quickly grasps the levels of truth expressed by the media, the arts, writers, painters, architecture, movies, TV, politics, and war, as well as academia and the greatest thinkers and philosophies through the ages and up to present-day science and advanced theories of the nature of the universe.

| REALITY, SPIRITUALITY & MODERN MAN [David Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D.] This is the seventh book in a progressive series based on the revelations of consciousness research. It describes in detail how to discern not only truth from falsehood but also the illusion of appearance from the actual core of inner reality. The text explains how to differentiate perception from essence and thereby enables the reader to resolve the ambiguities and classical riddles that have challenged mankind for centuries. While modern technologies have provided a plethora of new toys and conveniences, the basic problems of human existence remain. The human dilemma is in fact more confused than ever before, and the very foundations of Western civilisation have weakened under the onslaughts of rival factions and media barrage. Even the government is paralysed by the gridlock of vociferous contentiousness. The public has become like a focus group that is manipulated by media merchants. This book provides the tools to survive and regain autonomy. { 448pp, 140x215mm, October 2008; PB, £17.50, 193339188X:9781933391885 , AtlasBooks (Axial Publishing Co) } |

| AGING IN AMERICA : A Wake-Up Call & Call to Action for Seniors & Those Who Love & Serve Them [Linda Schlenker] This book was written to assist seniors, their families, and the people who care for seniors. Information is critical when making choices about health care. Sometimes, the decision that needs to be made is whether to move into an assisted living centre or to age at home. When choosing assisted living, one must choose between multitudes of facilities or choose a private group home. If choosing to stay in one's own home, many need to choose an aide to assist them. And, of course, a complex and important choice is whether to stay with traditional Medicare or go with an HMO. As an Occupational Therapist, the author is dedicated to working with seniors in nursing homes, hospitals, hospice care, and in their own homes since 1989. She wrote this book in response to the helplessness and frustration she felt watching the results of our health care system deteriorating over the last 15 years. { 60pp, 155x230mm, September 2007; PB, £13.50, 0979577748:9780979577741 , AtlasBooks (SIL Press) } |

| MICHIGAN FARMS & FARM FAMILIES : Farm markets, Ag-Tourism & Barn Preservation [Brenda Ervin] Respect for the land and a deep respect for the profession of farming is the hallmark of this book. Since I began to canvass the state nearly two decades ago I've had the good fortune to visit the farms and talk to many generational farmers and families. Before Michigan became a state in 1837, pioneers came from all over the world to farm this fertile land then known as, The Land of Many Waters. Clearing giant trees of pine, oak, ash and maple, they plowed with ox or a team of horses, for the purpose of raising crops. Wheat, oats, corn and barley, were some of the first crops a new homesteader raised. Barns were built out of logs from the trees, to shelter bushels of precious grains and valuable animals. Just think what it must have been like in the 1800's to travel by water and wagon through wilderness and swamps to the new territory called Michigan! These courageous pioneers, and those that came after them throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, were happy to find a place to call home". { 113pp, 215x280mm, October 2008; PB, £20.99, 0967480884:9780967480886 , AtlasBooks (Barn Door Publishing) } |

| EMBRACING PLAY VIDEO : Teaching Your Child with Autism [Developed by Hilary Baldi & Deanne Detmers] This video shows dozens of play sessions between parent or professional and child. Using a technique called 'Object Focused Play', the video teaches parents how to use toys to capture a child's attention and initiate learning. Very easy-to-follow, these scenes allow parents to replicate the same play activities at home, and begin to help their child interact with people and objects in their surrounding environment. To get started, first establish what toy or activity a child is most interested in. This 'entry point', such as pouring water or dropping a ball, sets the foundation for simple play routines and helps maintain a child's interest, which is crucial. Trying to establish a regular schedule of play sessions is another key to success, as often as 3 hours per day, 5 days a week if possible. Embracing Play opens up new avenues of interaction and learning for children with autism. The benefits of these play skills pave the way for communication and social development. Approximate running time: 47 minutes. { January 2003; VI, £29.56, 0972708006:9780972708005 , Behavioral Intervention } |
| RABBI, HAVE I GOT A GIRL FOR YOU! [Herb Freed] Alternately hilarious and heart-rending, the book follows the earnest, if occasionally misguided, exploits of young Rabbi Ben Zelig as he valiantly tries to balance the sometimes tragic and often bewildering demands of his calling. Real, surreal and super real, each of the six stories takes a unique stylistic twist. One of the most riveting episodes centres on the Rabbi's desperate search to recapture his lost faith. His Walpurgisnacht quest leads him into phantasmargorical situations where he encounters outrageous Fellini-esque characters who lead him on a bizarre adventure that starts in the ivory tower of The Rabbinical Academy, winds its way through Harlem strip clubs and ends in the Garden of Eden. Whether the events in these stories actually happened or not, they are undeniably true. { 271pp, 140x215mm, April 2005; PB, £12.50, 097604370X:9780976043706 , AtlasBooks (Bellrock Entertainment) } |
| SAGAPONIC LANE [Marion Freed] With a serene simplicity of style, Marion Freed draws readers into her seductive web as she cracks open the shutters of celebrity worshipers and social climbers. Her magic carpet takes us on a breath-taking ride inside the hearts as well as the entrails of the lovers, adulterers, artists, and desperate wannabees who flourish and fester in the opulent swamps of the Hamptons, Beverly Hills, and New York. One of the great joys of this compelling novel is to try and predict how we might turn out if, but for the grace of God, we were them. As she did in her magical book of short stories, Marion Freed once again stirs the reader and opens their hearts to a way of life, both desirable and terrifying. { 154pp, 140x215mm, July 2007; PB, £12.50, 0976043726:9780976043720 , AtlasBooks (Bell Rock Ent Inc) } |
| SIDESWIPED [Marion S Freed] Sideswiped, Marion S. Freed's searing, hypnotic stories of hope and betrayal, love and alienation, cuts right to the bone. Her characters emerge from the darkest recesses of the soul. Her style makes readers start out loving every character that they meet. In each of the four stories that make up this collection, the reader feels a tingle rise in his spine that is both heart wrenching and cathartic. From the very first scene in each story, the reader is made to watch a terrifying event that they do not want to see, but cannot look away from. The reader is compelled to follow each story to its conclusion just as one cannot look away from an inevitable car wreck that is about to happen right before their eyes. It is impossible to silence that atavistic inner voice that commands us to join these flawed but singularly familiar characters, even as they are inexorably and irresistibly sideswiped. { 276pp, 140x215mm, June 2006; PB, £12.50, 0976043718:9780976043713 , AtlasBooks (Bellrock Entertainment) } |

| FARMACIST DESK REFERENCE : Encyclopaedia of Whole Food Medicine: 2nd Edition [Don Tolman] 2 books in slipcase. The FDR™ is the 21st century's ultimate (time consorted) definitive compendium of humanity’s relationship to life and vitality using plant whole foods as preventative and remissive medicine. The FDR™ contains whole food wisdom from the Ancient Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Hebrews, Chinese, Native Americans, Incas and others who through time treated themselves to high vitality and longevity using plant produced whole food. The FDR™ not only provides today's scientific conspectus on whole foods but more importantly the results of the human collective experience over time and distance that developed into the eminent practical knowledge of the human collective. The FDR™ was crying from the dust of the earth to be recaptured, recorded and shared once again. With the burning and destruction of the Library of Alexandria, as well as, other timeless repositories of recorded human observation being laid waste, the FDR™ is a profound record of wisdom's rediscovery handed down through time mouth to ear, grandmother, daughter, daughter to granddaughter. The FDR™ will teach you why you should never fight disease or the symptoms of disease-these are the body's processes for curing itself. When you treat symptoms, you are curing the body cure. This suppresses the body release of toxins and irritants and drives the condition deeper into systems and organs, creating side-effects and other "diseases" and increasing the sales of drugs and supplements. Instead of fighting disease, learn how to lay down the weapons of war and simply, elegantly embrace life's freely given principles of health and vitality. The FDR™ will teach you how to assist your body's inherent ability to heal itself from the accumulative damage caused by months and even years of habitual reactions, beliefs, movement patterns, the use of toxic supplements and prescriptions as well as over the counter drugs. The FDR™ will teach you that you have "safe choices" that are, tested by time and experience and not the published findings of a research lab, funded by companies with an agenda to increase stock values for share holders with the latest, hottest, scientific "miracle break through" These discoveries of cut, burn and poison in "medicine" the "sick industry's" self declared, out of control raging war-a war on your body, (and all) at your expense! Learn how to put your wallet away, learn why medical insurance is one of the worst myths you hold onto. Learn why so called "preventive medicine" is nothing more than a hook to get you suckered into the "perpetuate your disease" system, to mould you (using fear) into a perfect customer/consumer; a blind follower, adding to their flock of "Little Sheeple" (sheep people). The FDR™ will help you to be Confident, Independent, Sovereign and Free of, "trusting too much" in the "Arm of Flesh." The FDR™ is a result of the children and grandchildren of yesterday's folk healers, people who grew up on the farm in the country. People who grew up to become some of the 21st century's most brilliant whole food researchers, research that is being validated by whole food Physicians of the highest Medical Credentials (truth needs no witness, but for one, I'm glad they are showing others the way). The notion that whole foods can get you healthy and keep you healthy is as old as the hills, and the FDR™ leaves no doubt that there is a fresh flowering of knowledge on those hills. The FDR™ can assist you through recovery from many common disorders including acid reflux, acne, AIDS, age-related macular degeneration, ageing, arthritis, atherosclerosis, cancer, cataracts, elevated cholesterol, colds, constipation, diabetes, diarrhoea, poor digestion, diverticulitis disease, headaches, heart disease, herpes simplex, haemorrhoids, hypertension, immune deficiency, infection, infertility, insomnia, mental slowness, menopause, motion sickness, obesity, osteoporosis, respiratory ailments, skin disease, stroke, ulcers, varicose veins and more. . . { 1600pp, 230x300mm, March 2008; HB, £124.99, 0970393113:9780970393111 , AtlasBooks (Benacquista Publishing) } |

| IDA IN HER OWN WORDS : The Timeless Writings of Ida B Wells From 1893 [Michelle Duster] African Americans were deliberately and systematically eliminated from participating in the preparation and exhibition of the Columbian Exposition (World's Fair) of 1893. The fact that an entire group of people who had been free citizens for almost thirty years, and who had made important contributions to the development of the nation were not given representation at such a significant international forum, provoked a protest. A small group of four people contributed to a pamphlet entitled The Reason Why the Colored American is not in the Worlds Columbian Exposition. Thousands of pamphlets were distributed. Class Legislation, attributed to Ida B. Wells, and Lynch Law, written by Ida B Wells, were two sections included in the pamphlet. The pieces give a glimpse for today's readers to understand the cruelty and hypocrisy of the country at that time. Ida B. Wells' grandson, Troy Duster, and great-granddaughter, Michelle Duster, add historical perspective and insight into how much things have changed or not when it comes to the African American experience in the United States of America. { 104pp, 155x230mm, September 2008; PB, £10.99, 0980239818:9780980239812 , AtlasBooks (Benjamin Williams Publishing) } |

| RED KNOT : A Shorebird's Incredible Journey [Nancy Carol Willis] Narrated in journal entries from the point of view of a red knot -- a robin-sized shore bird that migrates 20,000 miles annually, from the tip of South America to the Arctic Circle and back -- this book depicts one such dramatic journey in stunningly detailed coloured-pencil illustrations of the flight over the Atlantic Ocean, a landing in Delaware Bay, the northern nesting grounds, chicks feeding on hatching insects, a close call with an arctic fox, and the return home. At the heart of the story is a message about conservation: the birds stop only a few times as they travel and always in the same coastal areas where dwindling food supplies have caused a precipitous decline in their numbers over the past decade. Science concepts such as animal life cycles, climate, extinction, the food chain, and migration are introduced by information about how bird-banding and protecting the horseshoe crab -- whose eggs are a principal food for red knots -- can help them survive. A four-page appendix includes a map of the western hemisphere, a range and route map for migrating birds, a glossary, a timeline, and the history and conservation of red knots. { 32pp, 215x280mm, May 2006; PB, £5.99, 0966276159:9780966276152 , IPG (Birdsong Books) } |

| STORY : An Interwoven Gospel [David Fincher] "The Story" is an Interwoven Gospel that is the complete story of the life of Jesus Christ as written by Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The format, however, is truly unique in several ways. The contents are 100 percent scripture, with no author commentaries or storytelling. On the back cover, Mr Fincher makes it clear that he has only woven the scriptures together, and that God is the author. "The Story" is chronologically ordered beginning with the birth of Jesus and ending with His ascension to Heaven. The most unique feature is the text itself. A different colour is used for the writings of each of the four Gospels, and then woven together to form a complete, smooth-flowing story. The reader is easily able to identify the contributions and perspectives of each writer. Parallel and harmony Gospels provide an excellent side-by-side comparison, but they are not in story form. The Story, An Interwoven Gospel is a wonderful, easy, and enjoyable way to learn about, study, and/or teach the life of Jesus Christ. { 160pp, 155x230mm, March 2008; PB, £12.50, 097961600X:9780979616006 , AtlasBooks (Blue Water Publishing) } |

| DIVORCE SEEKERS : A Photo Memoir of a Nevada Dude Wrangler [William & Sandra McGee] In 1931, in the teeth of the Great Depression, the Nevada legislature made a daring move and created two legalised industries: gambling and the six week divorce. By the 1940s, "I'm going to Reno!" was synonymous with divorce and divorce seekers came running by the thousands. If you had the money and the need for privacy, you came to one of the dude ranches where the clientele was upscale. Former dude wrangler Bill McGee may have written the ultimate kiss-and-tell in "The Divorce Seekers". This is a first-hand account by someone who saw the epic era of the six week Reno divorce. McGee had a front row seat during his years in the 1940s working on the Flying M E, an exclusive dude ranch twenty miles south of Reno that catered to wealthy Easterners with names like Astor, du Pont and Roosevelt, and Hollywood celebrities like Gable, Gardner and Hayworth. Part I, "Cowboyin' Memoirs" -- Follows the author from his post-war days at Montana State on the G. I. Bill, to cowboyin' in Wyoming's Yellowstone National Park, to the chance conversation in Reno's Round Up Bar which landed him the coveted job as head dude wrangler on the Flying M E. Part II, "The Famous Flying M E Ranch and the Changing Cast of Characters" -- Stories about the ranch guests, how they passed their six weeks, their favourite watering holes and sightseeing places, and why some of them never returned to the East to live. Part III, "Getting' Untied" -- An overview of Nevada's migratory divorce business, how the legislated businesses of divorce and gambling helped Nevada through the Great Depression, and how Nevada's lenient divorce law led the way for uncontested divorces in other states. Part IV, "Other Leading Nevada Dude-Divorce Ranches, Circa 1930-1960" -- Profiles the TH Ranch (Nevada's first dude ranch), the other leading Nevada dude-divorce ranches of the era, plus a brief history of the origins of dude ranching in the West. Over 500 black-and-white photographs (most from private collections and never before published), give the reader an up-close glimpse into life on an exclusive dude ranch.

Doc, a successful player in his own right, bases his lessons on solid research, illustrating them with examples to which even non-golfers can relate. Each of the men takes his game to a higher level by the end of the book, but Kip has an especially exciting experience during his pursuit of a U.S. Amateur title. Readers will want to be a part of it. { 194pp, 140x215mm, October 2007; PB, £18.50, 0978406303:9780978406301 , AtlasBooks (Bob Skura & Company Inc) } |

| IN SEARCH OF SACRED PLACES : Looking for Wisdom on Celtic Holy Islands [Daniel Taylor] This book includes all of the following: spiritual quest, travel, memoir, history, theological reflection, cultural analysis, and personal introspection-all conveyed in an engaging, probing, and honest voice. It is a spiritual travel memoir with a palatable dose of Christian history, interlacing an account of a trip to three small islands (off Ireland, Scotland, and northern England) with the history of Celtic Christianity in those places, all in service of an ongoing meditation about the human yearning for meaning. Not an academic or devotional book, it seeks that particular kind of knowledge we call wisdom -- practical knowledge about how to live rightly and well-and finds it among the men and women who lived long ago in these remote places. This is the story of a reluctant pilgrimage, taken by a man with modern questions and suspicions about sacred places, who nonetheless returns from these tiny islands with a better understanding of how to live in today's confused, materialistic, care-worn world. { 169pp, 135x215mm, February 2005; HB, £16.99, 0970651112:9780970651112 , Midpoint Trade Books (Bog Walk Press) } |
| LETTERS TO MY CHILDREN : A Father Passes on His Values [Daniel Taylor] A collection of short letters, most centring on a powerful story from the author's life, that convey core values and attitudes from a father to his child. Topics addressed include death, right and wrong, thinking about God, cheating, failure, popularity, studying, sex, self-esteem, prayer, family relationships, materialism, and marriage. One typical letter addresses the question of how to be a friend to unpopular kids at school and tells the moving story of the time the author was told he should ask the girl with polio to dance. Many of these letters are rooted in childhood and adolescence, others in youth and early marriage. They speak honestly and engagingly to both the young and to those who are trying, the best they can, to raise them. Read these stories with your children or by yourself and smile in recognition as you remember your own struggles to understand the world and your place in it. Then, as the afterward suggests, tell a few stories of your own. { 177pp, 140x215mm, June 2005; PB, £12.50, 0970651120:9780970651129 , Midpoint Trade Books (Bog Walk Press) } |

| RIDDLE OF GANESHA [Rankorath Karunakaran] The only English language edition with 1000 Lord Ganesh names and Ganpati Atharvasheersha. Mahatma Gandhi said: "God is not a person but a immutable law as Dharma". Christ called it as Eloi the Will of his father in heaven. Mohammed called it as Allah a word related to El and Eloi. Einstein called it as the cosmic Intelligence, Spinoza illustrated the law by saying "two apples added to two apples makes four." Any amount of prayer or pious wish will make it five. Even God will not countenance such a move. Ganesha obviously is a design likewise meant to convey a profound meaning. But owing to the play of ignorance a good deal of ritualism has sprung up around him clouding the meaning of his design and form. This is unfair and it behoves one and all who is in search of knowledge to probe into the deeper meaning behind Ganesha's funny form. This book is placed in the hands of the readers by the author in all humility as a humble tribute to Ganesha. { 96pp, 210x280mm, January 1992; PB, £8.95, 8186025006:9788186025000 , Book Quest } |

| GOLD CHASER : The Life & Legacy of Master Craftsman Edmund Kavanagh [Joyce Sidey Brogdon] This is the story of a remarkably talented Irishman whose works are so distinctive they need no signature. Master craftsman, "repoussé" chaser Edmund Kavanagh's art carries his inimitable style in every piece, a style he has been painstakingly and lovingly developing over the last fifty years. The skill of repoussé, which began in antiquity and flourished from medieval times to the middle of the twentieth century, is a metalworking technique in which soft precious metal is shaped by hammering from the underside. Chasing is done on the front of the piece to finish or refine the raised repoussé. It is tedious, laborious work that in the twenty-first century is considered a dying art. Edmund is among the handful of chasers around the world who continue to ply this ancient craft. His name is well known among the United States military bandmasters, both academies and the active duty services. He has designed and crafted numerous Maces, Baldrices and Tabards for the Marines, the Coast Guard, the Army, the Air Force, the Merchant Marine and other military bands. Of the hundreds of chalices, tea services, maces, and trophies that have passed through his competent hands, his flagship piece is the 18-carat gold rose bowl for the 50th wedding anniversary for President and Mrs Dwight D Eisenhower. The sheer volume and variety of his work is incredible, as the photographs in this book show. His custom crafted chalices, menorahs, band maces, sports trophies and specialised jewellery are prized as collectors' items by their owners. His legendary reproductions of museum pieces are numerous. This biographic account combines a cameo of the artist, Edmund Kavanagh, with magnificent illustrations and descriptions of his famous art works. It is the story of a remarkably talented Irishman whose early years were fraught with frustrations and life-threatening illness. His unique artistic gift of design earned him entry at age fifteen to apprenticeship under Dublin’s finest silver craftsman. His well-developed inimitable style is now known in many countries of the world. { 126pp, 220x285mm, December 2007; HB, £33.50, 0977854523:9780977854523 , Grace Books (Borrego Publishing) } |
| GOOD SONS DON'T JUST HAPPEN : Insights on Raising Boys from a Mother of 10 Sons [Catherine Musco Garcia-Prats] Through shared insights and experiences, this mother of 10 boys teaches and inspires moms to raise sons who are compassionate, loving, responsible, well educated, and faith filled. Her simple advice and easy-to-follow principles take the "difficulty" out of raising sons. Advocating a practical and realistic approach that recognises societal influences without allowing them to create a fear factor, she shies away from identifying sons as "abnormal" because they do not follow the female pattern of development. Believing that diversity education begins at home within the family, she counsels that each child is unique in their interests, abilities, and strengths and that appreciating their individual gifts is key to their upbringing. She encourages and motivates mothers to make a commitment to their sons' upbringing that provides them with the tools they need to reach their full potential -- emotionally, intellectually, physically, and spiritually. Her philosophy provides not only a joy-filled mothering experience but the ability to raise well-adjusted and successful sons. { 240pp, 140x215mm, July 2009; PB, £12.50, 0976329417:9780976329411 , IPG (Bosco Publishing) } |

| RELIC [Kathleen R West] Since he was a boy, psychologist Paul Grant has been haunted by a strange dream. In it, he is Malchus, whose ear was cut off by Peter and reattached by Jesus. He is forced to witness the crucifixion of Jesus, after which he takes a small piece of the broken cross as a souvenir. Each time Paul awakens from this dream, he finds blood coming out of his ear. Upon receiving a small piece of wood with a stain from an anonymous sender, Paul begins to believe it has healing powers.

| BENN'S LONDON [Andrew Eames] A photo essay on London's culture, leisure, shopping, architecture, rural areas and the river.

Celebrating the city's multicultural energy, he highlights London's famous street life, including markets at Brixton and Camden Lock.

| FOLLOWING THE CHEYENNE : The Wayward Wandering of a Meandering Heart [Robert C Boyd] This wonderful book of poetry is a hodgepodge of different topics, themes and feelings. The author has put poems to some photographs he has taken, in an effort to bring a sense of dimension and life to his poetry. Robert Boyd writes that "putting an image in your mind and endeavouring to realise what you feel in your heart is not always relevant to what should be an inner contentment within your soul. Finding love is not easy, knowing love is a mystery and an endowment of life itself. Keeping love strong and healthy is not impossible, but is a lifetime effort that favours the few, is cared for by the angels, and belongs to the gods. Only if thou has substance of heart can he truly administer the fruits of loving, to another." It is with that sentiment that this poetry was created and is now, through the pages of Following the Cheyenne, available to touch the hearts and souls of those who would read it. { 52pp, 155x230mm, March 2006; HB, £14.50, 0976062712:9780976062714 , AtlasBooks (Boyd ) } |
| CANNON CINEMAS : An Outline History [Philip Turner] This book charts the rise, and fall, of one of Britain's fastest-growing cinema groups which, at its height, controlled nearly 900 screens -- the largest in the UK and Netherlands, together with substantial theatre operations in Germany, Italy, Israel and the US. It looks at the Cannon Group' beginnings, and at some of the people and factors behind the group's meteoric rise. Additionally, there is illustrated examination of the circuit's picture houses highlighting some of the more definitive trademarks of the Cannon legacy including the cinema frontages and façades, the foyers, auditoria and projection equipment using many previously unpublished photos.

| CINECENTA CINEMAS : An Outline History [Philip Turner] Launched in November 1968 following turnaround of the financially-troubled Compton Group of Film Companies, Cinecenta had begun as the new, vertically-integrated brainchild of industry investor, Leslie Elliot -- the latter setting out to reform British exhibition which, already in the clutches of a serious post-war decline, had all but lost its movie-going habit. This book reviews this unusual, highly innovative, and much-misunderstood exhibitor, examining its aims and aspirations, whilst drawing attention to its cinemas' unique corporate styling. Included here is detailed coverage of the circuit's Panton Street flagship, in addition to surface consideration of some of the provincial Cinecentas, the Compton Cinema Club, and subsequent Jacey Group takeovers.

| CINEPLEX ODEON : An Outline History [Philip Turner] Examines the roller coaster rise, fall, and re-emergence of one of North America's more enigmatic exhibition phenomena co-founded in Canada in 1977 by entertainment lawyer-turned-film producer, Garth Drabinsky, together with industry veteran, Nathan A Taylor, Cineplex Corporation had been among the first, to unveil a largely unprecedented concept before the movie-going public -- the cinema megaplex -- opening with a 'modest' 18-screen theatre in downtown Toronto's Eaton Centre shopping mall. The book looks at the birth and progress of the Canadian exhibitor, and at elements of its plush theatre circuit, built primarily upon the determination of 'one man and a multinational'. And with the aid of some previously unpublished photos, examined here, too, is an overview of the corporation's fledgling Gallery circuit, Cineplex Odeon's short-lived UK subsidiary, the dozen locations of which became surrendered initially to Cannon In 1990. { 30pp, 145x210mm, December 1998; PB, £9.95, 0953102149:9780953102143 , Brantwood } |
| MGM CINEMAS : An Outline History [Philip Turner] While several, selective, accounts of MGMs studio history already abound, little is ever mentioned of its original, or indeed later, connections with cinema exhibition. Highlighted here are several of the (numerous) changes to affect the UK circuit modus operandi following the radical innovations introduced by industry outsider and MGM Cinemas' most recent MD, Mike Sommers. Included too, is an overview of the MGM-developed multiplexes, together with some of the more prestigious refurbished Cannon cinemas deemed worthy of trading as MGMs. These include the disparate Hammersmith, Ealing, Shaftesbury Avenue and Luton cinemas, as well as a brace of multiplex take-overs intended for the short-lived Gallery circuit: the Brighton Marina eightscreen and the London Piccadilly Trocadero flagship.

Here, for the first time, and with the help of the original US parent, the doors of the prestigious UK exhibitor are thrown open to cinephiles world-wide, offering an insight into the British subsidiary's unique philosophy and development. And, with the aid of some previously unpublished photos, this book also takes in a highly illustrated architectural appraisal of several of the circuit's luxurious 'modern day supers' -- and, in particular, of their façades, foyers, auditoria, and projection galleries -- designed by internationally-respected architect, the Shrewsbury-based Abbey Hanson Rowe. { 30pp, 145x210mm, December 1999; PB, £9.95, 0953102157:9780953102150 , Brantwood } |
| WARNER CINEMAS : An Outline History [Philip Turner] Today's Warner multiplex theatres, frequently mocked by purists although quite erroneously -- for their supposed clinical, futuristic appearance; their close corporate similarity; and somewhat 'factory-like' methods of exhibition, are examined in this book. The book examines 'identifying features of the theatre circuit, evaluating specifically their architectural and amenity merits -- quite often a triumph of human logistics over environment -- in addition to their extremely high standards of fit-and-finish which has helped in making Warner one of the world's more prestigious players in the field. Amongst others, the book takes a look at the cinemas at Croydon, Leicester, Acton, Harrow and Oberhausen, and also at the 1938 established Warner West End flagship. { 30pp, 145x210mm, February 1998; PB, £9.95, 0953102122:9780953102129 , Brantwood } |

| COYOTE RIDGE [Barb Mihaljevich] Set beneath the foothills of Fort Collins, Colorado, this beautifully written novel tells first of a tiny fragment of the shortgrass prairie that historically blanketed much of the American West. A place where water is scarce, soil alkaline, and food hard to come by, the Cathy Fromme Prairie is an old presence unperturbed by the violent collisions of her inhabitants. Life on the prairie is hard. Then come the people. Though the affluent suburban homes that border the prairie lack no amenities, those who live here collide, too. Pat is a widow who must daily confront her daughter’s selfishness. Her neighbours, the Blackburns, apprehensively await the arrival of their first child. Down the street, the town’s pre-eminent cardiac surgeon regards his son’s desire to act with arrogant disdain. When the doctor is accused of malpractice and the Blackburns’ new baby mysteriously disappears, the fragile equilibrium of the entire community implodes. A novel of brilliant parallels, “Coyote Ridge” explores the nature of love, loss, and balance between two worlds. In language as lyrical as notes from a flute, Mihaljevich draws the world of the prairie and world of people closer and closer until the difference between them blurs, then dissipates. What remains are echoes that sound softly, one upon the other, until there is no doubt: what we have here is a song, indeed. { 219pp, 155x230mm, April 2003; HB, £19.50, 0972652809:9780972652803 , AtlasBooks (Bright Eagle Publishing) } |

| HOW TO GET TO HEAVEN [Will Bronson] What three simple, but difficult, things can you do to insure your place in a glorious eternity? After years of careful study, Will Bronson presents us with the gist of Jesus' teaching: forgive and seek forgiveness, love -- even your enemies, and practice humility.

In a world where over 20,000 people die each day, most of them children, simply because they or their parents are too poor to stay alive, Bronson asks us to revive our commitment to life in this context and he provides a practical guide to do just that through support of the millennium development goals. { 151pp, 120x180mm, January 2009; PB, £11.99, 0615247857:9780615247854 , AtlasBooks (Bronson Enterprises) } |

| THINK OF THE EARTH [Bertram Booker] Bertram Brooker (1888-1955) was better known as a painter than a writer, yet his first novel, Think of the Earth, won the prestigious Governor General's award. Set in the west, 'Think of the Earth' explores the metaphysical quandary of Tavistock, the main character: Is it possible to commit a perfectly innocent murder? Despite the award, the novel was never reprinted and became a rare book, obtainable only through archival copies. Perhaps the book was ahead of its time. It has persisted as an underground classic in the unique tradition of Canadian modernism. Brooker was one of the most remarkable figures in Canadian cultural history. He was an editor, critic, dramatist, novelist, and artist. He was the first Canadian painter to exhibit abstract art, and his paintings hang in every major gallery in the country. He also had a very successful career in advertising, writing three books on the subject that some speculate might have influenced Marshall McLuhan. { 302pp, 155x230mm, January 2000; PB, £12.99, 1894184009:9781894184007 , Canadian Scholars' Press (Brown Bear Press) } |

| FROM FRANCE TO ITALY THROUGH A MEROVINGIAN DESCENDANT [Riccardo Capasso] Book and Chart. Over the years many historians have written about the Bonifazi family, the first feudal family of the Holy Roman Empire in Italy, which has wielded great political power and influence. This book attempts, for the first time, to detail the chronology of the Bonifazi family, which can claim descent from Ferreolus and which has survived through the centuries since its first arrival in Italy with Charlemagne.
