Jaubert relocated his business to Dubai and created the most sophisticated and preeminent submarine factory every designed. Falling victim to a corrupt system and egomaniacal leaders, he found himself held hostage in Dubai, by extortion and under threat of police torture. Using the skills he developed in an earlier career as an intelligence officer, he escaped from Dubai to the U.S. In 2008. Escape from Dubai is the real life account of his adventure, from his first meeting with government officials of Dubai to his harrowing escape. “Former French spy Hervé Jaubert Pierre writes a shocking book on how he fled the UAE on a sailboat to Mumbai, without his passport. ...This is a story which will make fiction thrillers pale in comparison... an escape from Dubai by this former French intelligence officer... who claims he was wrongly indicted for embezzlement, fraud and sexual harassment there.

Fred Donaldson PEACE IS CHILD’S PLAY On Childhood, Play, and Peace in A World of Contest Peace is already in the child, who takes nothing more seriously than what adults dismiss as childish and sentimental. Peace Is Child’s Play is neither a conventional book about peace nor a book about conventional play. This book is a radical challenge to hundreds of years of belief in one of our most coveted and cherished ideals; human conflict is not only natural but also necessary for our survival. The premise of this book is based on a seemingly absurd idea—peace is child’s play. The degree of its absurdity is only exceeded by the absurdity of our belief that life is a contest for survival in which making war creates peace. This belief contains humanity’s most deeply held truths—and they are wrong! Contest is a dead end. To continue to live as if contest with the world is our only choice is a delusion of the most dangerous kind, reaching it’s grisly conclusion when we play to win and every victory is a funeral. Peace Is Child’s Play proposes a profound behavioral paradigm shift from a contest world of won to a playful world of one. Not only do I suggest that our current ideas about war and peace are dead-ends, but also that we have a viable alternative. While we have no problem making children into soldiers, prostitutes, and victims, it never occurs to us that children might make us into peacemakers. In rewriting the story of humankind this book is a break from the past for which there are no precedents. I’m suggesting a transformation in which things become so radically different that the old rules break down and we know virtually nothing. The purpose of this book is to provide a cipher to the code of peace encrypted in child’s play presenting humans with a previously unthinkable and seemingly impossible choice: we can choose to make conflict obsolete. This code is a breathtakingly ingenious neural pattern recognition system inherent in life. Unlocking this code requires a fundamental rethinking of our ideas about children and childhood, play and contest, war and peace. Over the past thirty some years I have encountered thousands of children who are living proof that however absurd it may seem child’s play is humanity’s defining hope for peace. World rights available Rights List PLAYING BY HEART – THE VISION & PRACTICE OF BELONGING Playing By Heart is an invitation to come out and play with our wonderful world, to see beyond our lists and definitions and join the mystery ourselves. To receive this invitation requires a child-like participation of our senses and a way of knowing that is more holistic than analytic, more heartfelt than discriminating. "Come out and play" is more than an iconoclastic technique, more than a recapitulation of childish frivolity, more than comic relief from stress or recreational diversion. It involves a genuine transcendence that is grounded in and nourished by life… Playing By Heart is not a book about a predetermined line of research or a survey into the nature of children's play. I am not examining moral, social and cognitive development through play. I am not collecting data. This book is a pirate ship sent to kidnap you, as I have been kidnapped by the children, perhaps a kind of ark, which will transport you so that you might come out and play with the world.

Fred Donaldson 3 Claudio Naranjo HEALING CIVILIZATION Bringing Personal Transformation into the Societal Realm Through Education and the Integration of the Psychic Family Foreword by Jean Houston 256 pages, $19.95 retail, ISBN: 9780895561633 In this ground-breaking book, Dr. Claudio Naranjo—Chilean-born psychiatrist, Gestalt therapist, spiritual consciousness pioneer, author of 13 other books in English (including The End of Patriarchy), and member of the Club of Rome—seeks to heal our collective illness, by bringing his more than 30 years of successful work with individual and group transformation into the societal realm. It is his hope that with the help of this book and those who take its message to heart, our culture can at last be made whole—and true civilization can begin. Dr. Naranjo references an extensive literature on the subject of the “patriarchal mind,” beginning with the German scholar, Bachofen, and including contemporary writers Rianne Eisler and David Korten. Naranjo not only analyzes and traces the origins of the patriarchal culture and mindset—but also he recommends radical reform and restructuring of education of the young to improve the basis of all our contemporary societies. Dr. Claudio Naranjo is known for his teaching and literary work world-wide, with numerous titles in print in Spain, Russia, Italy, Brazil, and many other language markets. He travels extensively and is much in demand as a keynote speaker and workshop teacher. His best known works in English language editions are The One Quest, Character & Neurosis, The Way of Silence and the Talking Cure, The Enneagram of Society, and Gestalt Therapy.

Rights sold: Germany, India, Poland, Russia All other rights available Colin Tipping Rights List Frankfurter Buchmesse 2009 SPIRITUAL INTELLIGENCE AT WORK Global 13 Publishing In this groundbreaking book for the corporate world, government and institutions, Colin has succeeded in finding a way to present the Radical Forgiveness technology to the business community in a way that is meaningful to them, valuable and non-threatening. The sub-title of the book is: A Radical Approach to Increasing Productivity, Raising Morale and Preventing Conflict in the Workplace. The Rationale Constituting the very lifeblood of an organization are the four main forms of energy flowing through it - money, data, materials and "humenergy." If the flow of any one of these forms of energy is impeded, the organization suffers greatly. The first three, being subject to measurement and control, are easily managed. Humenergy is not. Yet, we know it to be extremely harmful. Humenergy is the subtle and largely unconscious unresolved material that every individual, from the CEO down to the lowest paid worker, brings to work and acts out in order to heal it - usually to the great detriment of the organization. Humenergy is so subtle it does not yield to traditional conflict resolution procedures and will create problems at all levels within the organization. It is a problem for which, up until now, there has been no answer. This book outlines a revolutionary approach to dealing with toxic humenergy. The Quantum Energy Management System is a low-cost, human-resources tool that, surprisingly enough, utilizes that which everyone has in equal abundance to neutralize harmful humenergy. It's our spiritual Intelligence, 6 The benefits that result from its use include: • A significant reduction in incidents of conflict, dissent, discord, sabotage, cynicism, racial tension, negativity, absenteeism, turnover and attrition. • A significant increase in morale, job satisfaction, loyalty, cooperative team spirit, productivity and profit. The book presents its ideas both in story form and didactically. For 136 of the 200 or so pages, a story runs on the left-hand pages and the logical material runs on the right-hand pages. Thereafter it reverts to normal.

Frankfurter Buchmesse 2009 Health/Healing/Energy Medicine/Chakras/Character types All those who would like to know more about themselves, their subconscious shadow and their character will benefit from this book. In it, readers can find information (from all cultural epochs and spiritual disciplines) about life energy, the Aura, Chakras, and their exceptional significance for health, joie de vivre and finding meaning in life. Shamans, acupuncture, magic, and medieval humoral theory all have their say, as does the modern psychological and psychoanalytical viewpoint. The author combines and connects the scientific worldview with the insights of modern energy medicine and ancient spiritual wisdom. From this emerges a new worldview in which individual emotional evolution represents the true key. The hidden connections between vegetative centers in the body and emotional conflicts are brought to light. The author’s experience in daily practice has brought him to the firm conviction that energy blocks due to emotional conflicts are the primary cause of interpersonal problems and the majority of diseases. Yet conflicts are by no means all negative! Vividly and dramatically, the book portrays how individuals can mature and grow through dealing with their conflicts, and ultimately gain a greater understanding of and insight into themselves and others by discovering their character type. Emotional conflicts are humanity’s worst energy thieves. Detecting and treating them, in order to help people realize their actual potential, is what this book is all about. It points out ways to attain to greater self-knowledge – but also to learn how to understand others better, becoming healthier and happier in the process. True spiritual growth is only possible after one has overcome one’s psychic dark side. The author describes a straightforward new system of energy medicine which he discovered and developed for detecting and healing energy blocks in the shortest possible time: Psychosomatic Energetics. Numerous case histories and practical tips bring the book to life and make it a pleasure to read – and, moreover, an indispensable companion on one’s own spiritual journey through life. 9 E.J.

His revelations in The Scientist are the most staggering to date--they are perhaps beyond belief.

Dr. Lilly details his experiences in researching the far-out spaces and demonstrates how he programs such spaces and experiences through his method of self-metaprogramming.

But it can help. Olsen offers both a survey of theatre history and an in-depth assessment of the acting craft. Among his insights is the revelation that the acting master Stanislavski trained students to reach the state of “I am,” an ancient mystical connection that major spiritual traditions consider descriptive of the presence of God. Olsen includes in this collection of essays and teaching tools his own program of acting exercises and training modules, with an emphasis on inner exploration, artistic transcendence, synergy and synchronicity for performers, and personal as well as professional development for the working actor. 13 Cynthia Henderson THE ACTOR’S LANDSCAPE 128 pages Theater / Body, Mind and Spirit This practical guide for the actor explores new and exciting angles into the query pioneered by Constantin Stanislavski of conscious technique as a means to liberate the power and artistic inspiration of the subconscious. —Hugh O'Gorman, Head of Acting, California Repertory Company, California State University, Long Beach World rights available.

At age eleven, Lam, the son of a South Vietnamese general, came to California on the eve of the fall of Saigon to communist forces. He traded his Vietnamese name for a more American one and immersed himself in the allure of the American dream: something not clearly defined for him or his family. Reflecting on the meanings of the Vietnam War to the Vietnamese people themselves—particularly to those in exile—Lam picks with searing honesty at the roots of his doubleness and his parents' longing for a homeland that no longer exists.
