***Stocked 11 July***'In the midst of life we are in death.' The words of the Book of Common Prayer have permeated deep into the English language all over the world. For nearly 500 years, and for countless people, it has provided a background fanfare for a marriage or a funeral march at a burial. Yet this familiarity also hides a violent and controversial history.

When it was first produced the Book of Common Prayer provoked riots and rebellion, and it was banned before being translated into a host of global languages and adopted as the basis for worship in the USA and elsewhere to the present day. This edition presents the work in three different states: the first edition of 1549, which brought the Reformation into people's homes; the Elizabethan prayer book of 1559, familiar to Shakespeare and Milton; and the edition of 1662, which embodies the religious temper of the nation down to modern times.

Borley Rectory in Essex, built in 1862, should have been an ordinary Victorian clergyman's house. However, just a year after its construction, unexplained footsteps were heard within the house, and from 1900 until it burned down in 1939 numerous paranormal phenomena, including phantom coaches and shattering windows, were observed. In 1929 the house was investigated by the Daily Mail and paranormal researcher Harry Price, and it was he who called it `the most haunted house in England.' Price also took out a lease of the rectory from 1937 to 1938, recruiting forty-eight `official observers' to monitor occurences.

For over five hundred years witches, male and female, practised magic for harm and for good in their communities. Most witches worked locally, used by their neighbours to cure illness, create love or gratify personal spite against another. Margaret Lindsay from Northumberland was prosecuted for making men impotent, John Stokes in London for curing fevers, Collas de la Rue on Guernsey for killing people by witchcraft, Florence Newton from County Cork for causing fits and Isobel Gowdie in Auldearn for a variety of offences including consorting with Satan and fairies.

In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, however, their attacks on a succession of English monarchs through enchanted images and their attempts to kill James IV of Scotland and I of England created increasing fear and mistrust of their craft. A succession of Acts of Parliament made much magic criminal and punished offenders severely, until a final Act in 1735 repealed them. This monumental new history for the first time describes witches, their magic and the attempts to eradicate them throughout the British Isles, altering our picture of who witches were and why people employed them but also tried to suppress them.

Matthew Johnstone's latest book Capturing Mindfulness, is a natural follow on from his last book Quiet the Mind which came out in 2012. It's a book on how to create mindfulness through photography. Matthew has been practicing what he terms 'photopresent' for the last 15 years and believes that next to meditation, this is one of the most creative and enjoyable ways to attain mindfulness in day-to-day life.

The very essence of photography; after all, is all about focus and capturing 'the moment'. Matthew is fascinated by light, colour, composition and most importantly how he can see the world differently. For him, having camera in your hands is the reminder to consciously slow everything down from your breath, to your walk, to your thoughts and begin to really observe your surroundings as if seeing them for the first time.

As the world teeters on the brink of massive change, many of us are feeling the urgent call to make changes in our own lives that not only shift us to a new level of individual fulfilment but also create a brighter future for us all. This step-by-step guide shows us how to create lasting change in the world in the only way that counts ...from the inside out. The book offers 10 life-changing Spiritual Lessons, each of which changes the way we see things, the way we experience things and the way we do things.

Each Lesson is followed by a Spiritual Workbook, comprising a Daily Declaration, a Call to Action, and a Self-Reflection exercise (that is, something the reader is asked to reflect on at day's end and write in their journal). Written with simplicity and grace and charged with profound spiritual truths, these lessons on themes such as Forgiveness, Gratitude and Surrender shine with passion and clarity to inspire you to live life from a place of enlightened wisdom - and thereby help to shift the bias of human destiny from ego to heart, from poverty to abundance, from war to peace. Amoda Maa Jeevan beautifully and movingly expresses insights for all of us who are ready to re-create ourselves and the world by 'becoming the change we want to see' (as Gandhi memorably put it).***stocked 7 May 2012*** (hide)

The perfect book for stressed-out adults who want to reconnect, simply and easily, with their inner creativity. Many of us experience fear every single day: job loss, loneliness, relationships, money, sickness, anxiety, and more. Fear has become infused in our culture, and it affects our day-to-day functioning and quality of life.

A simple and inexpensive way to relieve stress is by coloring images, which can be soothing. Some even consider it an alternative to stressors, ultimately aiding in reversing the effects of anxiety. Refocusing your attention on something completely different to engage in a mental, physical, and emotional shift can help break the pattern of consistent stress and allow one to rejuvenate.
