The Hidden Girl
Marika Henriques was born in Budapest in 1935. During the Holocaust in 1944, separated from her family, she became a hidden child. That being a Jew was shameful and had to be hidden remained deeply etched into her being for decades. Fascism was followed by communism after the war. Persecuted once more, now for her middle class background, she escaped during the Hungarian uprising in 1956. She crossed the border on foot through mine fields in temperatures of minus 25 degrees centigrade. She arrived as a refugee in England and married a Swedish Jew in 1961. In due course she found her vocation and became a Jungian psychotherapist. Jung's ideas were an integral part of the process of understanding herself and after undergoing psychoanalysis, drawings and poems poured out of her as part of the healing process. The drawings emerged unbidden and were drawn quickly, without fully under-standing what they signified. But over the years she has stitched 19 of them as tapestries. The gentler pace of stitching was all a part of the healing process, and they are woven together with the drawings and poems in the book as she unfolds her story.
Munu- the Most Special Rhino in the World!
Munu is a story of hope in the face of adversity. As one of the world's rarest black rhinoceros, Munu was tragically blinded and could not have survived in the wild if it was not for the White Lion Foundation who rescued him, offering him a sanctuary and lifetime care in South Africa. His story, as the most special rhino in the world, will appeal to children, with its humorous tone as well as promoting the charity's ethos of integrity and kindness. Munu's story raises the profile of the charity's ambitious vision for the future of global wildlife conservation, at the centre of which are children today, the conservationists of the future. All proceeds from the sale of this book will go to the White Lion Foundation's Munu Rhino Appeal to establish a Rhino Rehabilitation Centre and Nursery for young orphaned calves.
A Philosophy for a Fair Society
With the eclipse of the New Right, politicians now admit that society is in crisis. Something must be done, but, explain the authors, governments will fail again unless they shake off the economic orthodoxy which is now one of the problems rather than the means to a solution.
Travels With My Harp
Inspirational and entertaining, this autobiography chronicles the life of a performing artist with a deeply devout outlook. Mary O'Hara won global acclaim as a singer and harpist, yet behind public success was an unsuspected tragedy in which joy turned to sorrow. From her humble beginnings in the west of Ireland to her first husband's tragic death and her 12-year sojourn in a monastery, this tale of triumph over tragedy also journeys with O'Hara into the wilds of Africa following her second marriage. Written with warmth and humor, this book is also filled with insights into O'Hara's albums and concert tours.
Ricardo's Law
Ricardo's Law' provides a rational explanation of why, despite two centuries of capital accumulation, poverty persists in the rich nations - even with a 'welfare state' funded, in theory, on the basis of 'to each according to his needs; from each according to his means.
Ultimate Reality
This book is a voyage of discovery through the atoms, solar systems and galaxies of our universe to find ultimate reality. What is the true nature of our universe? How do we fit into it? How may we comprehend and appreciate its marvellous harmony and intelligence? Drawing on the current state of knowledge of the sciences, the author reminds us that much smaller than a microchip is the genome that provides a text longer than eight hundred bibles which living cells can read and respond to it a fraction of a second. These cells consist of nothing but atoms, and if all matter of the universe is made up of atoms with the same intelligence, then this intelligence must be everywhere, all the time. ...
A New Model of the Economy
It remains faithful, however, to the tradition of these latter thinkers in explaining matters fully in words and resorting to mathematics mainly through the use of diagrams intelligible to anyone with an elementary grasp of the subject. Whilst the book strives to avoid value judgments in the interests on social science, it undoubtedly carries strong implications about economic policy. These are bound up with the central notions of free land and free credit, which have been singularly ignored by policy-makers since a few valiant attempts to introduce them in the early twentieth century. Hence the 'new model' is offered to both theorists and practitioners of Economics, to politicians and public servants, but particularly to those who, like the author, truly seek a new vision of the subject

The Zinoviev Controversy Resolved
On the basis of compelling evidence, this book overturns the generally accepted view about the authenticity of the Zinoviev letter, proving it was genuine. The minority Labour government under Ramsay MacDonald had called an election for November. In the last days of the election campaign, the press broke the news of a letter purporting to have been sent from Moscow by Grigory Zinoviev, Chairman of the Soviet-controlled Communist International, to the Communist Party of Great Britain. The letter urged members of the Party to increase their efforts to gain power by manipulating the Labour Party, which was hostile to Communist aims, so as to move the Labour Party to a revolutionary position, an...
