The Secret Elephants
The elephants of the Knysna forest have long been the subject of mystery and conjecture. Over the years they have taken on an almost mythical quality, with many doubting whether they existed at all. In 1994 the local forestry department maintained that there was only one surviving Knysna elephant, the seldom seen female known as The Matriarch. The Knysna elephant was thus described as 'functionally extinct'. This was the official stance until September 2000 when forest guard Wilfred Oraai encountered and photographed a young bull from a distance of some thirty metres. The question arose: who was its mother? And, indeed, who was its father? In 2001 Gareth Patterson began an independent study ...
To Walk with Lions
Gareth Patterson has lived as a man among lions and as a "lion man" among modern people. Moving between these two worlds, he has observed the wholeness in lions and the disconnectedness in humans. His extraordinary experience with lions has shown him how lions can teach people Ubuntu -- the African sense of belonging. By understanding the author's profound experiences with lions, individuals can realize their place in nature and discover true spiritual fulfillment. To Walk with Lions describes the seven spiritual principles of the lion: self-reliance, loyalty, fellowship, willingness to care, unconditional love, courage, and determination. By aspiring to these qualities, individuals can learn to live with a greater sense of purpose, community, and meaning.

Fourier: 'The Theory of the Four Movements'
This remarkable book, written soon after the French Revolution, has traditionally been considered one of the founding documents in the history of socialism. It introduces the best-known and most extraordinary utopia written in the last two centuries. Charles Fourier was among the first to formulate a right to a minimum standard of life. His radical approach involved a systematic critique of work, marriage and patriarchy, together with a parallel right to a sexual minimum. He also proposed a comprehensive alternative to the Christian religion. Finally, through the medium of a bizarre and extraordinary cosmology, Fourier argued that the poor state of the planet is the result of the evil practices of civilisation. Translated into English, this classic text will be of particular interest to students and scholars of the history of sexuality and feminism, political thought and socialism.
To Walk with Lions
"'I stood next to Batian facing the rising sun. Then, for the first time in my presence, Batian began roaring to the dawn. My right hand was on his flank as his calls reverberated across the land. Time stopped and through his calls I felt part of everything ? I was the Earth and the Earth was me. I belonged, and I was free.'Gareth Patterson's extraordinary life amongst lions has shown him how, unlike us, these magnificent creatures are the embodiment of Ubunta - the African sense of belonging. To Walk With Lions takes us on a mystical journey towards rediscovering our spiritual wholeness through reverence for Nature. In our inward-looking Western society, separated from Nature and God, many of us lack purpose and meaning whereas lions, wholly connected to the earth's energy, have an intrinsic sense of community and direction. This book teaches us to release ourselves from the prison of spiritual loneliness and purposelessness. It is about feeling a part of everything around us, about realizing our place in the natural kingdom and discovering true spiritual fulfillment."
Gareth Morgan's Lexis
Gareth Morgan's Lexis is the culmination of nearly fifty years of Ancient Greek pedagogy in the Summer Intensive Greek program at the University of Texas at Austin. The centerpiece of the program has been Gareth Morgan's Lexis, which Morgan first published in 1972 and augmented in 1976. Using a simplified morphophonemic approach to morphology and a reading approach to syntax, Morgan designed Lexis sothat students could read un-adapted authentic Greek (Herodotus followed by Lysias) assoon as possible and with as much fluency as an introductory student of a dead language can reasonably acquire.

Beyond the Secret Elephants
Beyond the Secret Elephants is Gareth Patterson's long-awaited sequel to The Secret Elephants, published in 2009. Beyond the Secret Elephants is the continuing story of Gareth Patterson's almost two decades of research into the secretive Knysna elephants. Significantly, however, it also reveals his startling discovery of a much more mysterious being than the elephants – a relict hominoid known to the indigenous forest people as the Otang. Gareth had long heard about the existence of the otang from the local people but he mentioned it only briefly in The Secret Elephants, focusing instead on his rediscovery of the Knysna elephants and their survival against the odds. He was reluctant to blu...
