| APPROACHING THE QUR'AN, 2ND EDITION : The Early Revelations [Michael Sells] Book & CD. Approaching the Qur'án is a major event in religious publishing. Professor Michael Sells has captured the complexity, power, and poetry of the early suras of the Qur'án, the sacred scripture of Islam. Approaching the Qur'án presents brilliant translations of the short, hymnic chapters, or suras, associated with the first revelations to the Prophet Muhammad. Most of these early revelations appear at the end of the written text and are commonly reached only by the most resolute reader of existing English translations. These suras contain some of the most powerful prophetic and revelatory passages in religious history. They offer the vision of a meaningful and just life that anchors the religion of one-fifth of the world's inhabitants. Approaching the Qur'án is enriched by the inclusion of a compact disc recording of Quranic reciters chanting several of the early suras, allowing readers an opportunity to hear the Qur'án in its original form. The book includes Sells' 'Introduction to the Qur'án', commentaries of the suras, a glossary of technical terms, and chapters discussing the sound nature and gender aspects of the Arabic text REVIEW: "Michael Sells is to be congratulated for making a major contribution to religious literature with Approaching the Qur’an, the best version of Muslim scriptures available in English. This is an important and illuminating work, one that will be welcomed by scholars, students, believers, and all who seek to better understand Islam and its sacred scripture." -- Carl Ernst is professor of Islamic studies at the University of North Carolina and author of The Shambhala Guide to Sufism { 236pp, 155x230mm, January 2007; PB, £15.50, 1883991692:9781883991692 , Caveat Press (White Cloud Press) } |

| CREATING CONSCIOUSNESS : A Study of Consciousness, Creativity, Evolution & Violence [Albert Low] This is Albert Low's profound discussion of the philosophical, religious, and scientific problem of consciousness in relation to evolution, creativity, spirituality, and violence. Low weaves together fresh discoveries from contemporary thinkers with perennial wisdom from pre-modern religious sources while providing a highly original discussion of human nature. Low's main thesis is that each individual is a divided reality. We are simultaneously at the centre (unified self) and the periphery (many dimensions of self). The fact that we are one and yet divided leads to Low's important discussion of ambiguity, creative tension, and violence as integral to human existence. { 322pp, 155x230mm, October 2002; PB, £12.99, 1883991390:9781883991395 , Caveat Press (White Cloud Press) } |
| DEATH OF MAMMOGRAPHY : How Our Best Defense Against Breast Cancer is Being Driven to Extinction [Rene Jackson RN BSN MS & Alberto Righi MD] The best medical tool for detecting breast cancer is being driven to extinction by outrageous lawsuits, putting millions of women at risk. A practising radiologist confronts the legislative and legal tangles strangling breast-cancer screening today and argues for reforms to our legal and healthcare systems. Early detection of breast cancer can make the difference between life and death -- and mammography is the best diagnostic tool available today. However, radiologists across the country, faced with the prospect of litigation and the high cost of malpractice insurance, now refuse to read mammograms. Radiology students are passing over specialising in breast imaging, and in the last few years over 700 mammography centres across the United States have closed their doors. Today, the number of women needing regular mammograms exceeds the capacity of the dwindling ranks of radiologists able and willing to read a mammogram. This book offers a comprehensive analysis of the crisis and specific solutions. { 245pp, 155x230mm, September 2005; PB, £13.50, 0974524530:9780974524535 , Caveat Press } |

| FIRE'S GOAL : Poems from the Hindu Year [Laurie Patton; Foreword by Narendra Panjwani] These poems reflect a year of journeys to sacred river sources in India. Laurie Patton’s poems were written after a decade of writing and reading in interpretation of India’s most sacred Sanskrit compositions -- the Veda. The book’s first half, "Festivals", follows the main festivals of a Hindu year. Each poem is written in the voice of a bhakta, or devotee, as he or she performs rituals of devotion -- whether it be floating a flame down the river at Diwali or listening to the bell at a Ganesh temple at Ganeshotsav. The second half of the book, "Crossings" refers to the traditional term tirtha, or holy place. In India, a tirtha is a place where a god crossed over to be on earth. "Crossings" employs the images of Sanskrit learning to think about ordinary moments in contemporary life -- a lost lover, running with dogs, an encounter with a spiderweb, what a widow might say about her broken bangles. { 70pp, 175x230mm, October 2003; PB, £9.99, 1883991498:9781883991494 , Caveat Press (White Cloud Press) } |

| FRANCISCAN CONSPIRACY [John Sack] Explores the great 13th century mystery: Why was the body of St Francis stolen and hidden. This multi-layered, intricately plotted, historical tale investigates what caused the Franciscan Order to destroy all early biographies of Francis by his closest disciples in favour of a sanitised biography of the powerful St Bonaventure. The story begins 30 years after Francis death, when Father Leo, Francis' closest friend, is dying. Bound to a vow of silence, Leo sends a cryptic message to Conrad, his own favourite student, connecting him with an unlikely companion, 16-year old Sister Amata. The two begin to search for the truth about St Francis -- a truth that will shake the foundation of the Franciscan Order and the faith of the masses. With illustrations of St Francis and letters to Father Leo. { 343pp, 155x230mm, August 2005; HB, £16.99, 1883991919:9781883991913 , Caveat Press (White Cloud Press/Riverwood Books) } |

| GOSPEL OF THOMAS : Wisdom of the Twin [Lynn Bauman] The discovery of the Gospel of Thomas has created an immense flurry of curiosity and speculation. Is the text real? Are these the authentic words of Jesus? If they are, what does it all mean? This new translation is surrounded by supportive material to help scholars and students alike explore these sayings in depth. Unlike other translations, Lynn Bauman’s sensitive work is not simply a 'literal' translation. Based upon the principle of 'dynamic equivalency', its purpose is to propel the reader/listener into an equivalent experience of language and meaning as the original Coptic text but in English, with equivalent cultural terms and ideas. It is therefore fresher, more poignant, more direct, and more understandable without being a paraphrase. In addition, the text has with it a reader’s guide. Each saying of Jesus is accompanied by a section that includes Questions for Reflection, an academic translation of each saying, and notes dealing with translation choices. This enables the student/reader to make discoveries on his or her own through suggestions and questions for consideration, meditation, and journalling. Bauman brings this important 'secret' gospel, with its radical view of Jesus as a Master of Wisdom, to life as a text to be utilised for contemporary spiritual practice. { 243pp, 180x230mm, November 2003; PB, £12.99, 1883991560:9781883991562 , Caveat Press (White Cloud Press) } |
| GREEN SEA OF HEAVEN : Fifty ghazals from the Díwán of Háfiz [Translated by Elizabeth T Gray Jr] A groundbreaking work of translation of one of the greatest poets of world literature. Hafiz (fourteenth century) was the unrivalled master of the Persian ghazal, a lyric form roughly equivalent to the English sonnet in length, intensity, and complexity. These fifty ghazals from his Díwán (collected works) display Hafiz' poetic genius, expressing his passion for the Divine Beloved and his scandalous (to the Muslim Clergy of the day) exaltation of music and wine as vehicles of transcendence and religious ecstasy. This bilingual edition presents the ghazals of Hafiz in language that captures the intensity and complexity of the poet hailed by Persian as 'the tongue of the Invisible' and the 'interpreter of mysteries'. { 170pp, 155x230mm, February 2002; PB, £10.99, 1883991064:9781883991067 , Caveat Press (White Cloud Press) } |
| MUSLIM NEXT DOOR : The Qur'an, the Media & That Veil Thing [Sumbul Ali-Karamali] In recent years, Muslims and the Islamic world have flooded headlines, politics, and American conversation. And, although we hear about Islam on a daily basis, there remains no clear explanation of Islam or its people. "Islam at Home" offers academically sound answers to these perennial questions in a user-friendly and personal context from the point of view of an American Muslim. The book addresses what lay readers in the Western world want to know about and uniquely combines the following elements: a vivid and engaging first-person narrative that frames clear discussions drawn from questions the author has answered throughout her life; a short, thorough overview of Islam written for the lay reader and conveyed through anecdotes and stories about growing up Muslim and female in the West; a well-researched information based on a solid academic foundation, woven together with a personal narrative that entertains like fiction; and an informative layout that begins with the basics of Islam and builds toward more complicated issues like jihad and the status of women in Islam. This is an entertaining, informative book that people all over the world, Muslim and non-Muslim, will want to read. { 260pp, 155x230mm, September 2008; PB, £11.50, 0974524565:9780974524566 , Caveat Press } |

| QUARRELING WITH GOD : Mystic Rebel Poems of the Dervishes of Turkey [Jennifer Ferraro; With Latif Bolat] For the first time in English, this collection presents a compilation of seven centuries of the mystic hymns of Turkey's rebellious Sufi poets, the popular folk counterparts to Rumi whose poems are characterised by a passionate and unorthodox commitment to Truth. At the time Rumi was writing in ancient Anatolia, many other great mystics in the region were also composing wild, ecstatic and controversial poems which were circulated among the people as spiritual songs (called 'nefes' and 'illahis') still played and sung today in sacred dervish ceremonies and gatherings. These poems were meant to swiftly and easily penetrate the heart of the spiritual aspirant whether educated or uneducated, and awaken the human heart to its divine inheritance. These poems present a spiritual tradition from the Islamic world which bravely challenged orthodox religion and emphasised universal mystic love and tolerance. { 120pp, 150x230mm, September 2006; PB, £13.50, 1883991684:9781883991685 , Caveat Press (White Cloud Press) } |

| SONG OF SURVIVAL : Women Interned [Helen Colijn] Song Of Survival, Helen Colijn's account of her wartime experiences, is a window into a largely overlooked dimension of World War 2 -- the imprisonment of women and children in Southeast Asia by the Japanese and how these prisoners of war responded to their dire circumstances. Held in captivity for nearly four years, more then a third of the women in Helen's camp died of disease or starvation. Yet their courage, faith, resiliency, ingenuity, and camaraderie provide us with enduring lessons on living. Though they had no musical instruments, the women had their voices, and from memory scored classical works for symphony and piano to sing. The music that helped sustain them while in captivity is a lasting and precious gift from these women to a world that has witnessed far too much war. Helen's story reached a mass audience via the motion picture Paradise Road, which is based on the events chronicled in Song Of Survival. { 224pp, 155x230mm, November 1998; PB, £9.50, 1883991145:9781883991142 / HB, £15.50, 1883991102:9781883991104 , Caveat Press (White Cloud Press) } |

| YIN YOGA : Outline of a Quiet Practice [Paul Grilley] How to balance Yoga practice. As Yoga matures, this is a new approach to balance physical and mental health, for serious students and beginners. All yoga forms emphasising either muscle (Yang) or connective (Yin) tissue. Today, all popular Yoga forms are Yang-muscular. Yin Yoga is unknown, but vital, as a balanced Yoga practice has many benefits, including better preparation for meditation. Yin Yoga focuses upon connective tissue, which does not stretch or respond to brief stresses as muscle will, so Yin postures are held a long time, with the muscles relaxed. Acupuncture meridians are also in connective tissues and Yin Yoga is specifically designed to stimulate them. Divided into two sections, the second part of the book deals with chakras, breathing exercises and meditation, and is fully illustrated with clear, concise descriptions of Yoga postures. { 118pp, 155x230mm, September 2002; PB, £10.99, 1883991439:9781883991432 , Caveat Press (White Cloud Press) } |
