He is the foremost authority on Yoga today.”– Larry Dossey, MD, The Extraordinary Healing Power of Ordinary Things “In Georg Feuerstein we have a scholarpractitioner of the first magnitude, an extremely important and valuable voice for the perennial philosophy.” – Ken Wilber; founder of the Integral Institute, and author of twenty books Explores Yogic philosophy and practice to discover what it means to be a mature, moral person. Counterbalancing current trends toward overpopulariziation, Feuerstein emphasizes that Yoga is not, fundamentally, about the glamour of its physical postures or about fabulous states of meditation. Yoga, which lies at the heart of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism, is primarily a spiritual tradition concerned with personal growth. Ideally, practitioners seek the ultimate goal of complete self-transcendence leading to perfect inner freedom. Yoga’s core process, which conducts the practitioner from a state of inauthentic existence to authentic being, is essentialy the gradual, quiet transformation of one’s bodymind and everyday life; so it is impossible to be a good yogi or yoginî without also being a morally mature individual. Georg Feuerstein, who first encountered Yoga at fourteen, is internationally respected for his seminal contributions to the EastWest dialogue. He has written over 30 books, including the award-winning Shambhala Encyclopedia of Yoga and Yoga For Dummies. His current work includes distancelearning courses on Yoga philosophy.

Tayos Gold The Archives of Atlantis By Stan Hall Imagination, action and danger coalesce in this true story of the spectacular BritishEcuadorian expedition to the Tayos Caves of Ecuador. In 1976, Scottish engineer Stan Hall organized a landmark expedition to the caves of the Tayos Indians in Ecuador, involving a dozen institutions, joint Special Forces, and astronaut Professor Neil Armstrong as Honorary President and participant. Hall was driven by curiosity about Erich von Däniken’s report in Gold of the Gods of a Metal Library found in the caves by investigator Juan Moricz in the 1960s. Since there are no ancient written scripts in South America, this idea was considered very unorthodox. In Hall’s odyssey into the heart of these enigmas he discovers the origins of mankind ■ Atlantis ■ Ptolemy’s lost city of Cattigara ■ the sudden rise and fall of wonder civilizations ■ ■ INCREDIBLE TRUE STORY OF ASTRONAUT NEIL ARMSTRONG’S SEARCH FOR THE ATLANTIS ARCHIVES the entrance to the Metal Library on Ecuador’s Pastaza River was born in 1936 in Edinburgh and graduated from Heriot-Watt University.

Book One: A reconstruction of Jesus’ roots and family history. The Bible says that the infant Jesus was visited by the Magi of the East, educated in Egypt and crowned King of the Jews. The inference from these sparse facts is that Jesus was probably of both Egyptian and Persian royal blood, and was exiled to Judaea in 4 AD. There was a royal family at that time which fits all the requirements to produce this scion. Book Two: Are the Scots and Irish Egyptians? Six hundred years ago, Walter Bower wrote a history of the Irish and Scots, drawing on records from the first millennium AD. He maintained that the Scottish people were descended from Queen Scota, an Egyptian princess, and the Irish (Gaelic) from her husband Gaythelos. Is this a myth, or fact? Ellis demonstrates that it is true history, and that the Irish and Scots have, indeed, descended from a daughter of Pharaoh Akhenaton. is a historian and an airline pilot for Easy Jet. With a life-long interest in Egyptian and Biblical history, his books explore the Egyptian origin of many historical figures. He lives in Ryde, England.

He lives in Poland. Jan Pinski, A Spanish Opening Repertoire for Black Challenging the Nimzo Indian By Mihail Marin By David Vigorito A world-class chess repertoire for Black against 1.e4, based on the respected Spanish Opening, aka the Ruy Lopez. In his previous book, Beating the Open Games, Grandmaster Mihail Marin dealt with White’s options up to 3.Bb5. Now Marin provides all the answers for Black after 4.Ba4, a depth of chess expertise rarely offered to a mass audience. Competitive chess players need a sound grasp of how to play this opening – especially how to meet the most popular lines. The Nimzo-Indian is Black’s most respected answer to 1.d4 and is immensely popular at all levels. Its reputation is so high, in fact, that some players prefer to avoid it. American International master David Vigorito shows that this negative approach is unnecessary, as the book provides White with a complete repertoire based on 4.Qc2. With Vigorito’s logical approach and clear conclusions is a Romanian grandmaster whose chess expertise is universally respected. He has recently acted as an adviser to the top woman player in the world, Judit A Spanish Opening Polgar, and is a master of Repertoire for Black explaining profound ideas to a wide audience.

Dr. Domino Falls Portable Darkness An Aleister Crowley Reader New Revised Edition By Aleister Crowley Foreword by Robert Anton Wilson Edited by Scott Michaelsen The first collection of the best of Crowley’s voluminous lifework. While the details of Crowley’s flamboyant life have been well documented, his position as the occult’s major intellectual figure has often been eclipsed by his notoriety, as he was infamous for scandalizing society on both sides of the Atlantic. Devoting his life to the study of Qabalah, gematria, numerology, astrology, myth, glyphs, yoga, and linguistics, Crowley’s intense, methodical exploration of this immense and arcane range of knowledge yielded a huge, challenging, abstruse oeuvre. By collecting Crowley’s best writings and adding his own cogent analyses, editor Scott Michaelsen makes Crowleyan philosophy both accessible and intelligible, spotlighting the works which best display Crowley’s scathing insight and intellectual range: ■ ■ INDISPENSIBLE LEXICON OF ESSENTIAL WORKS BY THE BRILLIANT, NOTORIOUS OCCULTIST organized thematically by Crowley’s favorite subjects, the power of language, yoga, sex, and Magick features material not included in the original Random House edition MARKETING reviews and features in occult and pop culture media ■ review copies available ■ publicity in conjunction with release of remastered Crowley DVDs (ABKCO Pictures) ■ 20,000 copies sold ■ Aleister Crowley, 1875-1947, studied at Trinity College, Cambridge.

Then she proceeded to devour me. This new collection of drawings introduces my muse, Venison. I produced most of these drawings during my stay in Barcelona at the Cafe Rosal. They are not studies for future paintings but final works of art. After my return home to Hollywood, I added several paintings of my wild deer girl to the series.” - Gary Baseman ■ A NEW CHARACTER AND NEW ART FOR GROWN-UPS includes an abridged reproduction of Baseman’s personal sketchbook Gary Baseman is an artist, painter, producer, toy designer and humorist.

This is a brilliant, haunting, and, strangest of all, very funny novel.”– Dennis Cooper An absurdist drama of seemingly banal interactions via two parallel stories that never directly intersect, but hover interdependently in a polluted atmospheric stasis. A sculptor dying of a mysterious illness leaves the city to live out his final days in solitude in an Eastern Europe village. His sole contact is with a deaf-mute, golem-like gravedigger named Vojtech, who delivers his provisions while a nameless wanderer traverses the barren streets in search of prey. Rife with ghosts and illusions perdues, at times violent and scatological, Wolf at the Door confronts fear and devastation, destruction and creation, the decay of both spirit and body with a blend of black humor and linguistic inventiveness that dares to question what happens after the end of both art and life. INTENSE, STARTLING FICTION FROM THE OFF-BEAT GENERATION Wolf at the Door was born in 1979 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. After studying literature and philosophy at the New School for Social Research, he wrote Victims (Akashic, 2003), and a collection of poetry, Poems I Wrote While Watching TV.

At times it reads like Elmore Leonard just met Henry Miller.” – Oliver Maitland The fictional account of Bernd Töst and his career as a porn-movie auteur is as colorful and strange as any in the history of pornography. When the subject of porn came out of smoky stag backrooms, the world was still in the grip of post-war austerity. Töst’s extraordinary and original outlook on the pornography industry influenced the sexual revolution of the 1960s.

He believed that the distortions of depravity there presented a truer picture of our spiritual nature than conventional religion or revolutionary excess.” – Murrough O’Brien in The Independent on Sunday Capturing the lively linguistic inventiveness of the original, this fresh telling also includes an introduction and comprehensive notes. First published in 1876, Marthe was a landmark in J.K. Huysmans’s career, his first book, and also one of the first French novels to directly address the subject of prostitution, later a central theme for many novelists, painters and poets in France and throughout Europe.

Marthe The Story of a Whore ISBN-10: 1-903517-47-8 is considered one of the classic descriptors of Parisian life. His novel about Satanism, La-Bas (1891) was the cult novel of the nineteenth century.
