| PLANNING & PLAYING : A Little Narrative on Modern & Postmodern Management [Mario Weiss] In management, just like in other areas of society, fashion and trends come and go at an ever increasing rate. Yesterday, it was re-engineering, today it is TQM, tomorrow it will change management. This little narrative is not intended to be just another fashionable theory. On the contrary, it traces the foundations on which the theories are based. The contents are presented from a philosophical and pragmatic perspective. Management is viewed from three approaches: pre-modern, modern and post-modern. Emphasis is placed on knowledge management and the post-modern approach. This book is intended to encourage both inner reflection and innovative actions. { 77pp, 225x170mm, December 2002; HB, £21.00, 3000100253:9783000100253 , Gaia AG } |
| DESERT SEA : Fauna of the Saudi-Arabian Red Sea Coast [Hagen Schmid] In the past the bird and mammal populations of the Arabian Peninsula were well protected by the physical size of the country and its sparsely inhabited deserts. With the discovery of large oil deposits, and following the introduction of industrialisation in the Middle East, extensive road and construction commenced, opening up the region. The photographs in this book may give the impression of a still perfect underwater world, that today is hardly found anymore. Nowadays when one is diving or snorkelling in these waters, one wonders if this is really the same sea. Most photographs were taken on days with exceptionally good underwater visibility. Often it took months or years to get a nearly perfect picture. The creatures are shown in their natural environment, which can be between broken corals or on top of sunken shipwrecks. Whenever known, their common and scientific names, as well as the name and date of the scientist who described them, are given. The texts are kept intentionally short so they do not distract from the shores of the Red Sea. They show the structure of the ever shifting sand dunes, the date palm trees, the laced wooden window facades and the soft coral fans. { 240x310mm, July 1997; HB, £28.99, 3000012931:9783000012938 , Hagen Schmid } |

| HOLLY BLUE [Yianoulla Nicola. Edited by Emma Batrick] This book tells of the loves we have, the loves we lose, the loves we never forget, and the loves we will always cherish. It is the story of a Greek girl called Sofia and tells of her life dictated by Greek traditions -- her father's traditions. From a young age, Sofia already knew what to expect from life. Her father made sure that Greek traditions would be followed. He would be the one to decide her life; he would choose a Greek man for her to marry. Perfect -- in his eyes! Yet, could she live 'happily ever after' if she wasn't married to her true prince? How could she get married without true love? Will she ever be free like the holly blue butterfly? All Sofia wants to be is a normal girl, to make her own decisions and live and love how she desires. However, all she can do is dream as she can't disobey her father for fear of what he may do. Returning to Cyprus without him, she realises that she is now away from his manipulation. Will she finally discover what freedom is? Will she break free of the barrier surrounding her? Will she finally be able to listen to her heart? Holly Blue is essentially a romance/coming-of-age novel and is the first of a series of three. The follow-up, Just Sofia, is due to be published at the end of this year. { 171pp, 125x205mm, September 2008; PB, £9.50, 0954851838:9780954851835 , AtlasBooks (Hande Publishers Ltd) } |

| HEALTH CARE RESPONSIBILITY : The Older Adults Guide to Surviving the Health Care System [Raymond Lengel MSN CNP RN] This guide offers a system to get great health care. The United States has the potential to be the best health care system in the world as it is the home of the greatest doctors, hospitals, and research facilities. Yet, the World Health Organisation reports that the United States has the 37th best health care system in the world below such countries as Malta (#5), Oman (# 8), Columbia (#22), Morocco (#29), and Costa Rica (#36). In the developed world, the United States is at the bottom of the list for infant mortality and life expectancy. Why are our statistics so poor? Restricted time with health care providers exists because doctors are forced to see a large number of patients in a short period of time. Rushed doctors are unable to obtain a good medical history, review what testing needs to be done, or answer questions posed by patients. This book offers an overview of the health care system and an explanation why everyone must assume health care responsibility; a seven-step system to report a complete yet concise medical history; multiple forms to assure productive health care visits; a tracking system to assure appropriate preventative health care; tips on exercise and nutrition; and questions to ask health care providers. { 186pp, 215x280mm, September 2007; PB, £9.99, 1570876975:9781570876974 , AtlasBooks (HCR Books) } |

| HOW TO BE A GREAT ASTROLOGER [James Braha] REVIEW: "This is Braha's best book to date. The aspect interpretations that make up the bulk of the book are alone worth the cover price. No less valuable are Braha's introductory words, in which he provides a thoughtful explanation of how astrology works, and a chapter on planetary aspect theory, which addresses issues like research-oriented astrology and the house system controversy. This is an intelligent, well-reasoned approach to the cosmic craft, one that will help all students of the subject get a clearer grasp of the issues involved." -- Dell Horoscope. { 256pp, 190x255mm, December 1992; PB, £13.50, 0935895027:9780935895025 , Hermetician Press } |
| ANCIENT HINDU ASTROLOGY [James Braha] "Ever since my first journey to India I have desired to share the knowledge I was fortunate enough to receive. I have also felt a need to dispel some rather major misconceptions, the main one being the fact that Hindu astrology is extraordinarily difficult. This is not true, as will soon hopefully be revealed. Although I have always been most fascinated with astrology because of the philosophical implications and revelations which can be extracted. I have done my best to keep philosophy from this work, as that is not my present purpose. It is my intention only to present Hindu astrology in a way that it deserves to be presented, which is long overdue -- a way which western astrologers can understand and utilise, and which will clear away the mystery and finally put into perspective the enormously complex techniques which make up the bulk of most textbooks on the subject. Having worked with both Hindu and western systems, it is my experience that the two greatly complement each other and together form the basis for a complete and profound astrology." -- taken from the Introduction. { 350pp, 190x255mm, December 1986; PB, £14.99, 0935895043:9780935895049 , Hermetician Press } |
| HOW TO PREDICT YOUR FUTURE [James Braha] Demonstrates two of the best predictive methods offered by the world of astrology. The book presents the predictive accuracy of ancient Hindu astrology with the spiritually rich astrology of the west. The descriptions of western transits are comprehensive, eloquent, and profound; Hindu dasas have never been explained so clearly and insightfully. Through western transits, the reader gains insight into the meaning and purpose of his or her changing experiences. Through Hindu dasas, the reader learns how to predict upcoming major events and to understand the overall direction of his or her life within dasas, planetary periods of between 6 and 20 years each. This is a must for all astrologers. It illuminates the practical affairs of human life as well as the underlying psychological and spiritual realities. This book carries astrologers a giant step beyond their usual predictive ability. { 256pp, 190x255mm, December 1995; PB, £14.99, 0935895078:9780935895070 , Hermetician Press } |

New agers and spiritual seekers find the book engrossing, accessible, and extremely informative. Whets the spiritual as well as astrological appetite is what the critics declared. The book received wonderful reviews and is a 'must-read' for those who are curious about the astrology of India. { 267pp, 140x215mm, December 1998; PB, £8.99, 0935895086:9780935895087 , Hermetician Press } |
| ART & PRACTICE OF ANCIENT HINDU ASTROLOGY : Nine Intimate Sessions Between Teacher & Student [James Braha] This is an unprecedented work in which renowned astrologer James Braha demonstrates the need for synergy between Hindu astrological theory and actual experience. Its purpose is to provide students with the knowledge necessary to gain a quantum leap in predictive accuracy. As an experience-first astrologer who accepts no astrological technique blindly, the author has thoroughly tested the fundamental techniques of this system. Page after page, techniques that work powerfully are distinguished from those that are mediocre, inconsistent, or unreliable. Although originally designed for intermediate and advanced students, beginners who study an introductory chapter can easily follow this lucid text, saving years of frustration and confusion. Over fifty horoscope examples are included as well as numerous lists demonstrating how to prioritise the myriad positive and negative aspects of analysis that challenge every Hindu astrologer.

| LIVING REALITY : My Extraordinary Summer with 'Sailor' Bob Adamson [James Braha] After thirty years of seeking liberation, James Braha had nearly given up on finding fulfilment. His mind began to change, however, when he encountered the Hindu/Vedic philosophy of non-duality. Upon reading “Sailor” Bob Adamson’s book What’s Wrong with Right Now Unless You Think About It? James immediately invited Bob to come from Australia to share his knowledge with Americans. For five glorious weeks in the summer of 2004, Bob and his wife stayed with the Braha family at their home in Florida. Spiritual talk with arguably the greatest non-duality teacher alive continued from morning till night, as James’ dearest friends and spiritualists from around the country joined the investigations into the truth of reality versus the illusion of appearance. This is a story of liberation, friendship, humour, and love, as Sailor Bob takes spiritual aspirants beyond the need for help, just as Nisargadatta Maharaj did for him thirty years ago. It is one of the warmest, most heartfelt treatises on non-duality ever written. { 322pp, 155x230mm, February 2006; PB, £13.50, 0935895108:9780935895100 , Hermetician Press } |

| CALDECOTT [Robert Funt] Penned by a night watchman, this collection of poems explores the netherworld of American society and offers a vision of modern decay and loss of values. Elements depicting the corruption of virtue and the separation of social barriers are fused with a wry and somewhat grotesque humour. A mixture of fantasy and double-entendre reveal a second level of meaning in ordinary objects and events, moving the criticism of darkness to a special appreciation of society's dregs. Particular focus is given to the complex choices made in the service of art. { 64pp, 140x215mm, April 2003; PB, £8.99, 0963518534:9780963518538 , IPG (Higganum Hill Books) } |
| SUNSHINE SOLDIERS : Second Edition [Peter Tauber] Shedding new light on post-Vietnam War American society, this revised edition of a personal journal first published in 1971 chronicles a soldier's seven weeks of basic training during the 1960s. Wry humour, deadpan delivery, and ironic insight reflect both the shattered innocence and conflicted patriotism of a generation and the definitive tone that has come to represent the 1960s in contemporary culture. Journalistic detail and narrative development of each week's events challenge traditional patriotic images and speak to the current debates of political and military authoritarianism. { 262pp, 140x215mm, April 2003; PB, £9.99, 0963518569:9780963518569 , IPG (Higganum Hill Books) } |
| SOUNDING MIRROR : Courage & Music in Our Time [Thomas Stumpf] Illuminating the author’s unshakeable faith in the power of music in people’s lives, this text draws upon the fields of literature, philosophy, psychology, and religious thought to highlight the importance of music in an increasingly chaotic and techno-centric world. Issues such as the folly of the work/play mindset and the relationship of music to time’s inexorable passage are discussed, as are many ways in which music can lead to a deeper understanding of the human condition. The superficiality of the market-driven world of professional pop music and the ineffectual approach of traditional music education are also explored. { 162pp, 140x215mm, September 2005; PB, £11.99, 0974115878:9780974115870 , IPG (Higganum Hill Books) } |

| GONE SHOPPING! : An Odyssey of Discovery [Doc Carson] Who would think a day, let alone a day at a shopping centre, could change your life? But this was no ordinary shopping centre. Its shape-a pyramid built of five levels -- was only the beginning of the enigma. Excited by the challenge to discover its meaning, our shopper sets out to explore this new centre. Many shops seemed ordinary enough: the mega food markets, clothing boutiques, and even a bus station. But there were strange things -- like the man who thought government spies were going through his garbage and the elderly lady who died while resting on a slatted bench. And it was hard to ignore the backhoe driver zooming by shouting aphorisms! Will our shopper make it to the top floor? This is a journey filled with remarkable characters: the skilled wood carver, the exuberant artist -- a spirited young woman more than ready for life's challenges, and the old man-wise and circumspect. Through this expedition our shopper answers many of life's questions and probes the depths of the human experience. { 252pp, 155x230mm, April 2004; PB, £8.99, 0974722030:9780974722030 , AtlasBooks (High Way Publishing) } |

| HOWE TO BOOK : From the Howe Scale Company to the Howe Center, to a Thriving Business Complex, to a Practical Guide Book [Joseph A Giancola & Don Wickman (ed)] Those interested in transforming old and abandoned properties into income-producing ventures can learn by example from the history of the Howe Scale Company, a business venture in Vermont dating back to 1876. The company got its start by manufacturing ball bearing scales, which had wide applications for weighing railroad cars, trucks, and airplanes, among other uses. While the company had many successes, the book reveals, it was not without its failures. The derelict company was recently revived by local developer and entrepreneur Joseph Giancola, whose vision and willingness to take risks ultimately led to the Howe Centre, a hub for commercial and industrial education and business. Readers not only gain insight into this enduring piece of history, but they also learn valuable methods that can be applied to their own lives to enrich both businesses and communities. { 280pp, 125x230mm, September 2008; PB, £16.99, 0977269256:9780977269259 , IPG (Historical Pages) } |

This lushly illustrated alphabetical excursion follows Nicole through the garden on her quest to find the special item.

| WORDS OF WAR : The Civil War Battle Reportage of the 'New York Times' & the 'Charleston Mercury'... & What the Historians Say Really Happened [Donagh Bracken] As the divided nation threw its sons into civil war, the home front demanded to know what was happening. Newspapers, North and South, responded by sending special war correspondents into the battlefront with the armies and navies of the Union and Confederacy. They reported what they saw and, in many instances, what they wanted to see. Thus was born American journalism as we know it today. In the North, "The New York Times'" correspondents accompanied the armies of Grant, Sherman, McClellan and other general officers and admirals in the Eastern and Western Theatres. The writings of "Time's" correspondents Franc Wilkie, L L Crounse and many others set the structural standard for American war correspondence as we know it today. In the South, newspapers wrote with greater passion. Chief among the passion providers was the "Charleston Mercury", the spark plug for Southern secession and the arch opposite of "The New York Times". The writings of Robert Barnwell Rhett. Sr. and Jr. and George William Bagby writing as Hermes, brought a blood rush to their readers as they bore their witness to the Civil War. Placed in juxtaposition, the two newspapers capture not only the flavour of the time but also the fever of war. The modern reader can see, as each paper reports the same battle, how political belief alters the view of reality. REVIEW: "What the reader gains is the temper of the times, the very human striving involved, the vast carnage, and the commitment to the aims of the war, whether for or against Union." -- Bookview { 314pp, 155x230mm, February 2007; HB, £15.50, 1933909323:9781933909325 , AtlasBooks (History Publishing Co) } |
| HOMELAND INSECURITY : How National Security Has Been Compromised For the Sake of Political Advantage [Terry D Turchie & Kathleen M Puckett] Many of the same people who inhabited the political jungles of Washington, D.C. during Watergate are still in power today. In their constant jockeying for political power and influence on public opinion, they foster the same ill will and distrust of the FBI they have for 30 years. Their political persecution has not improved the FBI's performance or insured that Americans are safer today within our borders than we were before the attacks of 9/11. In fact, current partisan political control of the FBI, as well as the public hammering of the Bureau by politicians using the media to broadcast their agendas, has resulted in a disheartening and dangerous paralysis of operations in the Field. In an effort to gratify the White House and Congress, the Bureau has rushed to implement ill-advised and hasty changes in its own structure and the way it does its work. In "Homeland Insecurity," authors Terry D. Turchie and Kathleen M. Puckett name politicians from both parties who are responsible for undermining the ability of the FBI to protect Americans from both domestic and international terrorism. They warn readers that purely partisan assaults on the FBI, if unchecked, will destroy the last impartial defender of United States law and the rights of individual citizens in the current terror war. { 310pp, 155x230mm, June 2008; HB, £15.50, 1933909331:9781933909332 , AtlasBooks (History Publishing Co LLC) } |
| HUNTING THE AMERICAN TERRORIST : The FBI's War on Homegrown Terror [Terry Turchie & Kathleen Puckett PhD] The bombs were perfect. The metal he'd so painstakingly cast glimmered in the dim light of the cabin. The hickory wood on the flipper switch was smooth and well shaped. The chemical compound had been perfected, and the target selected. All that remained was to wrap them in heavy paper and add the addresses and the stamps. After a hiatus of over six years from his deadly mission, he was ready to remind them -- all of them, all the unconscious drones in the technological nightmare the country had become -- that he was still here, still dangerous, still watching them. And so worked the dark mind of the most elusive man in the history of the FBI. For sixteen years he stayed ahead of them. The old techniques in the Bureau just didn't work any more, at least for this kind of mind. It was time to change the rules and time to find the right type of people to change them. The book written by the people who changed the rules on the run takes you on the chase for the dark minds of Theodore Kaczynski, the Unabomber and Eric Rudolph. Dr Puckett, the clinical psychologist who played such a vital role in the capture of those men also peers into the mind of Timothy McVeigh to provide an analysis to better understand the mindset of the domestic terrorist. { 294pp, 155x230mm, February 2007; HB, £15.50, 193390934X:9781933909349 , AtlasBooks (History Publishing Co) } |
| LEGERDEMAIN : The President's Secret Plan, The Bomb & What The French Never Knew [James Heaphey] "Legerdemain" is the true story of a young undercover operative for the U.S. Air Force during the Truman-Eisenhower Administrations who was sent on a mission to wrest French Morocco from the French colonial system and bring it into the American sphere of influence. The purpose was to insure Moroccan air bases for the Strategic Air Command which was vital for a retaliatory strike against the Soviet Union. The story underlines President Truman's disregard for French friendship and is willing to risk it for the sake of U.S. security. The disregard is further illustrated by the secret storage of atom bombs in French Morocco which was completely unknown to Charles DeGaulle, President of France. The story unveils the working of undercover operatives of Britains MI6, Israel's Mossad, America's CIA, France's Security Services, the Soviet Union's KGB as well as the French Foreign Legion set against the exotic backdrop of the alleyways, coffee houses and bathhouses of Casablanca, the exotic fairs of Marrakech, the settings of privilege in Cairo and the mountainside villages of Cypress. The author's experience also takes him through Berber villages in the Atlas Mountains and Foreign Legion outposts on the apron of the Sahara. Through it all, the author unfolds Islamic thinking of that period and sets it as a prelude to the affairs of the Twenty First Century. { 320pp, 155x230mm, September 2007; HB, £15.50, 1933909358:9781933909356 , AtlasBooks (History Publishing Co LLC) } |
| LEGERDEMAIN : The President's Secret Plan, the Bomb, & What the French Never Knew... [James J Heaphey Ph.D.] This is a true story of a barely trained and inexperienced Air Force undercover agent who is sent to Morocco to assist the nationalist movement in breaking away from the teetering French colonial system without the French being made aware. It was Operation Camelback, set in motion by President Truman to safeguard the SAC airbases in Morocco, vital to a bombing run on Moscow if necessary, and a continued maintenance of a secret storage of Atomic bombs, also unknown to the French. The author's mission takes him to the Atlas Mountain garrison of the Foreign Legion, through the bathhouses and alleyways of Casablanca, the exotic Arabian Nights-like Fair in Marrakech and the settings of the privileged in Cairo where he meets the young Anwar Sadat and the former Nazi commando Otto Skorzney. The story unveils the working of MI6, the CIA, French Security Force, Mossad and the KGB. This story brings to the reader an understanding of the Islamist mind, angry at their European colonial masters, and sets the stage for the Twenty First century. { 297pp, 155x230mm, January 2008; PB, £9.50, 1933909366:9781933909363 , Midpoint Trade Books (History Publishing Company, LLC) } |

| FROM FAT TO FIT : Turn Yourself into a Weapon of Mass Reduction [Carole Carson] This guide chronicles how one woman’s very public journey to lose weight mushroomed into a community quest to get fit. At the age of 60, Carole Carson broke the taboo of speaking about obesity when she openly admitted her shame and guilt about being fat and out of shape on the front page of the local newspaper.

People who had struggled with weight loss and fitness suddenly found that when they joined with their friends and neighbours they could accomplish together what they could not do by themselves. They learned a completely new way of living and discovered that getting fit was fun and in the process lost the equivalent of a school bus!
