ANIMAL LIFE IN NATURE MYTH AND DREAMS HB £26.00
ANIMAL LIFE IN NATURE MYTH AND DREAMS HB

Elizabeth Caspari

In ANIMAL LIFE IN NATURE MYTH AND DREAMS Elizabeth Caspari connects the world of real living animals with the symbolic world of animal images in human thought both conscious and unconscious. She gives the reader an opportunity to make this connection on his or her own personal journey of discovery. This book is a study of animals-their natural history mythology folklore and religious significance around the world as well as their role in our lives dreams and everyday language. It examines the symbolic impact animals have on our collective culture particularly on our own personal and interior lives. From Albatross to Zebra each animal is pictured in colour and factual context is given about its behaviour in the natural world. Information is included about habitat distribution weight size longevity and classification. By drawing on a process of amplification developed by C.G. Jung in which an image is related to a previous historical mythological religious or ethnological context Animal Life in Nature Myth and Dreams discusses the meaning of the animal in a dream amplifying the reader's understanding of that animal. Intended for anyone interested in the actual behaviour and nature of animals and the world we live in Animal Life presents a good deal of ethological and mythological material. By contemplating the significance of our fellow creatures and how everything in our universe is connected Animal Life offers a more whole and more healing view of the world. Fully illustrated in colour.

ASK MOTHER NATURE £7.99
ASK MOTHER NATURE
A Conscious Gardener's Guide
Ellen Vande Visse

ASK MOTHER NATURE takes the reader, step-by-step, into Vande Visse's garden to encounter the onslaught of root fly, eel worms, slugs and spider mites and introduces the idea that you can come to a deal with these pests by talking to them rather than waging chemical warfare on them. So, how do you contact a slug? Vande Visse's awkward attempts to plead for crop mercy will have readers chuckling but will ultimately surprise them when the pests, soil and vegetables offer advice and when they see what continual miracles happen when humans co-create with the angelic realms. ASK MOTHER NATURE is a unique combination: it is both a spiritual development manual and a gardening guide. The narrative challenges spiritual seekers and gardeners to actually live, apply and demonstrate a conscious life by directly communicating with nature. Just how does one do this? This is what Ask Mother Nature uniquely provides: · A plentiful supply of earthy examples. Entertaining first-person stories spell out the steps necessary to garden in conscious cooperation with the joyful spirits of nature. · A simplicity of communicating. Readers develop self-confidence as they realize that the strategy is easy and fun. One need not be highly psychic or even good at meditation. · The Devic perspective. Reading how Nature Intelligences voice their viewpoint is both surprising and touching.

Midori

Bonsai is a Japanese word meaning in pot or tray (Bon) and planted tree (Sai) which resembles a full sized tree. For many people Bonsai soon becomes not just a hobby but a way of life the tree almost demands your full attention and so it leads you to complete peace of mind thought and body just as it did thousands of years ago for the buddhist monks. Bonsai is a living art form with much history and changing of styles. There has been some written evidence found dating back to the T'ang Dynasty (AD618-906). Although it remains controversial it is thought to have originated in China (known there as Pun-Jing) remaining with buddhist monks in and around the temples possibly crossing over to Japan via buddihist monks at around 1195AD. There appears to be some reference to this in Japanese scrolls. Maybe the bonsai really has attained what the human seeks - immortality The delicate beauty of a bonsai garden is the perfect setting for contemplation and meditation and this album perfectly captures the atmosphere of this special place.

BUG BUSTERS
Safe Natural and Effective Controls for Common Household & Garden Pests
Bernice Lifton

Are bugs and rodents becoming a real problem in your home and garden? Wouldn't it be great if you could find a way to get rid of those pesky critters without endangering your health and that of your family and pets through the use of chemical pesticides? Well now you can. BUG BUSTERS was specially designed to offer sensible solutions for people who want better alternatives. Now in its third edition BUG BUSTERS provides dozens of easy environmentally safe methods - using inexpensive equipment and supplies commonly found in most homes - for keeping your household free of pests. Written in easy-to-understand language this book combines traditional time-proven pest controls with the latest findings from the Disease Control centres and university research. Also included are some new and innovative techniques for safely eradicating vermin. The ecologically sound methods described are more effective than chemical pesticides in the long run because they kill or repel only the pest they are designed to work against--leaving natural predators unharmed - and because insects cannot build up an immunity to them. Even when a chemical pesticide or exterminator may be your only recourse as with termite infestation BUG BUSTERS tells you how to find a competent professional and how to properly handle and dispose of chemical pesticides. At a time when literally thousands of adults and children are treated yearly for pesticide mishaps BUG BUSTERS provides important information for those individuals concerned with safe and intelligent pest control.

Speaking for The Earth Liberation Front
Craig Rosebraugh

The Earth Liberation Front (ELF) has been active in the United States officially since 1997 causing over $45 million in damages to various entities. Continuing to grow as an organisation and expand its range of targets the ELF has opposed directly individuals corporations and governments that in the organisation's view prioritise monetary gain ahead of the natural environment.

Listed by the FBI in February 2002 as one of the largest and most active US based terrorist group former ELF spokesman Craig Rosebraugh charts the history and ideology of the ELF and explores their tactics successes and limitations. He shows how the ELF offer an uncompromising vision of an earth under assault from the forces of greed and corporate violence and how they employ direct action against those they deem a threat to the planet. In addition Rosebraugh examines the issues surrounding when violence is or not justifiable and the short and long term political benefits or setbacks to using violence. Finally he offers a trenchant vision of the future of the environmental movement radical politics and US democracy under the Patriot act. Whatever your view of direct action or violence BURNING RAGE FOR A DYING PLANET is essential reading for anybody hoping to understand the mindset and motivations of contemporary radical environmentalism.

Everything Your Cat Expects You to Know
Tracie Hotchner

Finally, a definitive book that delivers many unknown facts about every aspect of caring for and sharing your life with a cat, ranging from proper nutrition and strange behaviour to medical care and multi-cat households, to grooming and geriatrics. THE CAT BIBLE explains the mysteries of feline behavior to owners who are devoted to their cats without being able to fully understand them. It offers straightforward solutions to the problems that cause people to give up their cats, many of which are preventable, including litter box avoidance, furniture scratching, and physical ailments. There are more than 90 million American households that count cats as family members, but they are a vastly underserved population, devoted to their kitties, yet bereft of all the public attention, programming, and print devoted to dogs. Now, best-selling author and investigative journalist Tracie Hotchner offers them THE CAT BIBLE, with straightforward, fact-filled solutions to health and behavior problems, based on years of research into the real reasons behind these issues. In the same warm, straightforward style that attracts devoted listeners to her radio shows, Tracie tackles controversial topics such as the truth about commercial dry pet foods and their dangers, bringing readers the latest facts on every topic that affects a feline's well-being.

CLAIMING EARTH AS COMMON GROUND
The Ecological Crisis Through the Lens of Faith
Andrea Cohen-Kiener

Our planet is in trouble, and it will take an amazingly large and powerful force to shift into a more sustainable way of living. Spiritual leader and environmental activist Andrea Cohen-Kiener tells us that people of faith have the numbers, the passion, and the mandate to do it—and that nothing else is strong enough to counterbalance “business as usual.” In this urgent call to action, Cohen-Kiener gathers insights from ecology coalitions, emerging theologies, and spiritual and environmental activists to rally and inspire us to work across denominational lines in order to fulfill our sacred imperative to care for God’s creation. Cohen-Kiener and contributors clearly outline the shared values of our faith traditions that drive our commitment to care for the earth. Acknowledging the challenges in working together to implement positive change, they present steps—both big and small, for individuals and groups—for reversing our direction from consumption to sustainability.

DOGS BEST FRIEND JOURNEY TO

Birr/Krakauer/O

No other animal has influenced human development in as long-lasting or important ways as the dog. He is the sanctuary of the tired model of faithfullness mirror-image of attention peak of understanding and memory the motto and mascot of wise men historian Christian Franz Pollini wrote of the dog almost 300 years ago. This statement still holds true today for the dog has long been human's partner in work and in play and the roots of their spiritual connection extend into the very foundation of our culture. In exploring the origins of this oldest human-animal relationship the authors travelled to Borneo Pantagonia Greenland Namibia and Nepal where they found races of dogs that are largely unknown dogs of pure beauty and unique character such as the azawakhs basenjis kelpies and sloughis dogs that even today are an essential part of their human community. DOG'S BEST FRIEND follows the close partnership between man and dog in indigenous cultures and reveals how without our canine friends the cultural history of humankind would be vastly different. Whether as sled shepherd or hunting dogs whether in the desert jungle or eternal ice dogs have been the faithful companions of humans for the thousands of years and this union has proved one of the most enduring and fruitful in history.

Their Natural History Behaviour and Unique Relationship with Human Beings
Galia Dor

Early records indicate that human beings have always been intrigued by dolphins and whales the magnificent mammals that inhabit the seas oceans and rivers of the Earth. The secret life and behaviour of these mammals beneath the surface of the water have given rise to myths and legends in many parts of the world. Part of the reason for the great interest in dolphins may lie in their mystery: we catch a glimpse of a dolphin's fin arching above the waves and a moment later this wonderful creature submerges and disappears from view; we hear of their great intelligence and social skills; we listen to people describing their amazing encounters with dolphins in mid-ocean. Perhaps the most curious phenomenon of all is the way they have always interacted fearlessly with humans playfully swimming with off-shore swimmers or helping fishermen catch fish. This book with its accessible style and fascinating full-colour photographs conveys the most important characteristics of dolphins including their senses behaviour and intelligence. It also recounts some of the myths and legends surrounding them in different cultures throughout the world and describes the endangered state of some of the dolphin species today.

ECOMYSTICISM
The Profound Experience of Nature as Spiritual Guide
Carl Von Essen

Many have been struck by a majestic moment in nature - a sole illuminated flower in a shady grove, an owl swooping silently across a wooded path or an infinitely starry sky - and found themselves in a state of expanded awareness so profound they can feel the interconnectedness of all life. These trance-like moments of clarity, unity and wonder often incite a call to protect and preserve the earth - to support Nature as she supports us. Termed - "nature mysticism," people from all cultures have described such experiences. However, the ever-increasing urbanisation of the world's population is threatening this ancient connection as well as the earth itself.

In ECOMYSTICISM, Carl von Essen explores nature mysticism through the recorded experiences of outdoor enthusiasts as well as scientific studies in biology, psychology and neuroscience. Citing consciousness scholar, William James and a variety of well-known nature lovers such as Ansel Adams, Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson, von Essen shows how the spiritual transcendence from an encounter in nature - like other mystical experiences - is healing the Nature Deficit Disorder of our psyches and bodies, leading to an expansion of our worldview and a clearer understanding of our self and of our natural world.

Offering a solid bridge between spiritual practice and environmental activism, von Essen's spiritual ecology reveals how only through a renewal of humanity's spiritual connection to nature can we effect true environmental healing.
