You'll learn everything from how to help a choking child to what to do if you are mugged, how to unblock a toilet, how to debug your computer and the best way to escape from a car that is under water. Whatever the emergency, you'll have the confidence to deal with it.
Open yourself to the transforming experience of The Power of Now.
Hugely successful author Eckhart Tolle guides us through a challenging but extraordinarily rewarding journey to find The Power of Now. We learn that we can find our way out of psychological pain; authentic human power is found by surrendering to the Now; the silence and space all around us is one of the keys to entering inner peace. In the Now, the present moment, problems do not exist. In the Now, we discover that we are already complete and perfect.
Eckhart Tolle was born in Germany, graduated from the University of London and worked at Cambridge University. When he was twenty-nine, a profound spiritual transformation virtually dissolved his old identity and radically changed the course of his life. He is now a counsellor and spiritual teacher.
Have you ever looked at one of our great historical buildings and wondered how on earth it was built? Well, now you can get the answer from a man who devoted his life to finding out - Fred Dibnah.
Fred takes us to some of our country's most famous castles, cathedrals, abbeys, great houses and bridges, and gives precise explanations of how they were constructed at a time when technology was limited and there were no powered tools, no concrete, steel, engines or heavy machinery. Illustrated with Fred's own beautifully executed drawings, published here for the first time, we explore engineering marvels such as St Paul's Cathedral, the Humber Bridge and Blackpool Tower. Fred's passion for the traditional skills of builders, carpenters and stonemasons shines through on every page.
Jekka McVicar is passionate about herbs and this passion permeates her authoritative and immensely practical book. Here is a spread-by-spread reference work covering over 150 herbs - from the most common such as mint and hyssop to the more exotic such as asafoetida and lemon grass. For each herb she gives the common names, various species, its history, cultivation, propagation and harvesting methods and then looks at cosmetic, medicinal and culinary uses, with over 250 recipes. Gorgeous colour photography makes identification simple.
