The short life of A.J.A. Symons (1900-41) was described by his biographer as an intricate and largely harmless confidence trick. His many interests included the collection of musical boxes and rare books as well as the study and practice of forgery; they left him time to edit an anthology of Edwardian verse and compose studies of H.M. Stanley and other notable figures. He is remembered for The Quest for Corvo, one of the most remarkable biographies ever written, and for co-founding the Wine and Food Society.

Oonagh Shanley-Toffolo

The Voice of Silence is by an Irishwoman who has had an extraordinary life. Oonagh Shanley-Toffolo was brought up in 1930s rural Ireland where her father initiated her into the healing arts. At the age of 16, she entered a convent where she trained as a nurse, and was sent to India to look after the elderly (and knew Mother Teresa). Here, she felt it was the young, rather than the old, who needed more help and so she left her order and trained in midwifery. Later, in Paris, she was asked to nurse the Duke of Windsor just before he died - and many years later was introduced to Princess Diana and became her weekly confidante. In between, were bouts of serious illness, studying acupuncture in China - and being photographed by Snowdon. The Voice of Silence is the life story of a very unusual woman who has learned far more than most from all the remarkable things that have happened to her. It is also the author's thoughts on healing, spirituality and love - and how closely the three are intertwined. Full of feeling, poetic vision and insight, this book cannot fail to touch the heart of the reader, and inspire.

The Little Book Of Bliss

Allegra Taylor

Death is the most predictable thing that will happen to any of us and one of the few experiences we share with every other human being, yet we hardly give it a thought. Most of us behave as if pretending it didn't exist gives is a measure of control over it. The traditional supports that used to cradle us in times of need are no longer there. 
 
Acquainted with the Night is the story of Allegra Taylor's year spent working in a hospice and training to become part of London Lighthouse, the support network for people with AIDS. 
 
Accessible, anecdotal and warmly personal, this is an important book. For it shows us that death is not the enemy; that it is possible to 'be there' for someone who is dying or bereaved, to grieve well in the face of death and, when the time comes, to die well ourselves.

Acquainted With The Night

A Year on the Frontiers of Death

Marie Herbert

When her two daughters were approaching the finish of their education Marie Herbert felt the need to mark the end of the child-rearing phase of her life by a rite of passage, a way to find herself a new place in the grand scheme of things. Long drawn to the Native American spiritual tradition, she planned a visit to the United States and an extraordinary journey of personal transformation under the guidance of Native American Healers. However, the end of her time of motherhood coincided tragically with the sudden death of one of her daughters and so her odyssey was to become far sadder and more urgent than she could have imagined. HEALING QUEST is the fascinating description of Marie Herbert's inner and outer journey of the heart. Vivid portraits of the people she met along the way are combined with honest accounts of the change in her feelings - together with ideas about how the readers, too, may learn from what she experienced and so gain insights into his or own life, whether in practical, emotional or spiritual terms.

Healing Quest

A Journey of Transformation

Andrew Harvey

Andrew Harvey, an Anglo-Indian novelist and poet, expands on the spiritual transformation that he described in part in Journey in Ladakh. Beginning in 1978 when he first met Meera, the Indian woman who would be his Master, Harvey (who at the time was teaching literature in England and the US), struggled for-- and against-- enlightenment for nine years. With other disciples he followed Meera, who he came to see as Ma, the Divine Mother. In India and then in Germany, under her guidance, he confronted his confused sexuality, his attachment to intellect and reason, his pride and his fears. 
 
Harvey's precise, passionately told story will touch sceptics as well as seekers.

Hidden Journey

A Spiritual Awakening

Gina Giacomini

Divination has been practised for thousands of years as an art that uses images, patterns and symbols to reveal what is hidden. Rather than foretell the future, most divination techniques, including consultation of the famous Oracle at Delphi, offer insight into what is behind a given situation and suggest strategies that can be used to deal with it. 
 
Intuition: The Key to Divination is the first book to focus on how you can develop your intuition specifically for use with the 6 major systems of divination that are popular today. Gina Giacomini explains that gaining insight into your future can be gained by cultivating a connection to your intuition and a working knowledge of an age-old system of "seeing". 
 
In this fascinating, practical and original book, you can discover: 
 
--The origins, philosophy and tools of the trade of Astrology, Dreams, Tarot, Numerology, I Ching and the Runes 
 
--How to access your personal interpreter - your intuition - so that you can delve into this ancient wisdom on your own. 
 
--Techniques for looking within for answers to problems in any area of your life including health, relationships, finances, career and home life 
 
--A deeper awareness of your soul's purpose

St John of the Cross

St John of the Cross was a 16th century Spanish mystic who wanted to reform Catholicism and encourage the integration of meditative practices by its followers.  Because of this, he was locked up by other monks and during his imprisonment he wrote one of the world's most famous spiritual poems Dark Night of the Soul.  After his escape, he then wrote a commentary to the poem to explain how to deal with any period when one feels completely cut off from God, and totally uninspired by anything. This is the first time the poem and its commentary have been translated by anyone outside the Catholic Church, and the language is exceptionally contemporary and relevant to our everyday concerns, no matter whether the reader is a Catholic, Buddhist or Muslim - or just having a hard time.

How It Changed the World

It has been estimated that between the ages of 30 and 50 up to 40% of people suffer from some degree of incontinence at some time. Women accept that it can occur following childbirth, for example, and it becomes increasingly common in old age. In addition, there are cases where incontinence is due to spinal injury or associated with conditions such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis or stroke. But what is not known is that in many cases it can be avoided, alleviated or, in the latter case, effectively treated. The aim of this book is to raise awareness not only of women suffering with incontinence but also of those responsible for their care. All aspects will be dealt with, including its management and different treatments available. Written by an experienced medical writer in close collaboration with a team of highly skilled and experienced surgical and medical professionals, Female Incontinence is an essential handbook which will help women to realise that they no longer have to suffer in silence.

In an age when much of the earth's surface has been explored, the spiritual realms within us are still, for many people, uncharted territory.  This Inner Space was experienced by shamans and the 'Wise Ones' of all cultures and traditions who could bring to the surface of consciousness knowledge that could then be applied to improve the quality of individual lives.   Today, the opportunity exists for us all to experience the reality of  transcending distance and time, find new understanding, and discover the inspiration and guidance to meet all of life's challenges.Shamanic Experience, packaged together with its unique shamanic drumming CD, can enable you to:--                                awaken and develop your inner senses &amp; resources--                    access other levels of awareness and retrieve information that is relevant to all areas of your life --                                     discover that the power of every living thing, including yourself, lies within

Stress is an essential ingredient of life which, when handled effectively, enables us to cope efficiently and perform our best. Yet in Western society stress has come to be equated with distress. This is because, when stress levels rise too high, mental and physical well-being is affected and we feel unable to cope. 
 
The Stress Factor explains what stress really is and shows, through practical advice and simple exercises, how to manage and use it to achieve your goals. The reward is a happier, healthier and more relaxed life.

Deepak Chopra

Leonard Mlodinow

Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens and Stephen Hawking have had a major impact on the loud and popular debate between 'aggressive atheists' and religion. The huge sales of their bestselling books show just how much interest people have in their ideas. 
 
Now 'the rock star of the new spirituality', Deepak Chopra, is entering this debate, sparring with leading physicist, Professor Leonard Mlodinow (the co-author, with Stephen Hawking, of The Grand Design). 
 
In War of the Worldviews, Chopra argues that there is design in our universe and a deep intelligence behind life. Without defending organised religion, he debunks randomness as an explanation for how Nature evolves and shows how consciousness comes first and matter second. 
 
On the other side, Mlodinow argues the viewpoint of science, specifically what modern quantum physics can tell us about our world. In his view, physics, genetics and cosmology will shed far more light on the big questions than rethinking ancient spiritual concepts can ever do. 
A major work of our time, War of the Worlds will not only offer more food for thought for those fascinated by the two sides of this modern conundrum - it will also place Deepak Chopra firmly in the ring of some of the most remarkable, and bestselling, thinkers of our era

War of the Worldviews

Science vs Spirituality

Some years ago Health Science Press issued a correspondence course in Homeopathy. It proved invaluable to students, providing a sound background of training in Homoeopathy. 
 
At that time graduating students sought a Diploma or Certificate, or other recognition of their new qualification. However, it was felt that a Diploma could not be awarded as such a document would have no official recognition in either the alternative or orthodox medical world and would, therefore, be of little value to the student. 
 
When the correspondence course was discontinued the remaining stock was sold as a book with the test papers cancelled. This work proved to be exceptionally popular. In view of the guidance that this book offers to the seriously interested student of Homoeopathy, the course has been revised by Phyllis Speight. 
 
This book contains twelve essential lessons and their corresponding test papers. Specimen answers at the end of the book will enable students to compare and evaluate their knowledge.
