Sheldon Press, London, 1994. Reprint. Softcover. Near Fine Condition. Therapists do not and cannot give answers. Explore the true nature of the therapeutic relationship, and realize that the guru is no Buddha. He is just another human struggling. Understanding the shape of your own personal ills, will lead you on your journey to recovery. Sheldon Kopp has a realistic approach to altering one's destiny and accepting the responsibility that grows with freedom. Dr. Kopp argues that there are no hidden meanings in life & that our lives have only the significance which we give to them. Thus 'Killing the Buddha on the Road' means destroying the hope that anything outside ourselves can be our master.

Methuen, London, 1968. First Edition. Hardcover (Original Cloth). Near Fine Condition/Near Fine. This collection of essays was originally planned as a sixtieth-birthday tribute to John Butt, formerly Regius Professor of Rhetoric and English Literature in the University of Edinburgh. The English novel was chosen as the subject in recognition of Professor Butt's long labour towards a new edition of the works of Charles Dickens. Professor Butt knew of the projected tribute, sealed with his approval its list of contributors, and took a lively and amused interest in its progress while he lived. When he did not survive to his sixtieth birthday, it was decided to carry on with the volume at a slower pace and make it the finest possible tribute to his memory. The twenty-three essays cover the range of English fiction from Congreve's early Incognita (1692) to Rayner Heppenstall's The Connecting Door and The Woodshed (1962). The coverage is necessarily .selective, and not every English writer… Read More

BCA (by arrangement with BBC Books), London, 1993. Reprint. Hardcover (Original Cloth). Near Fine Condition/Very Good. For over a century, scientists have searched for proof that man survives death. In this book, and the BBC2 television series which it accompanies, Jeffrey Iverson looks for evidence of an after-life. Enquiries into the existence of psi powers which survive death of the brain include experiments in viewing at a distance where the odds against guessing correctly are billions to one, and the story of a team of psychics, led by a parapsychologist, who saw the infamous New York 'Son of Sam' killer. The author delves into mediums, seances and apparitions, including the incident of the ghostly warning that may have saved a ship in the 1942 Siege of Malta. He asks whether near-death experiences are the hallucinations of a dying brain, or whether those close to death actually leave their bodies. And are there children who can prove they have lived before Size: 8vo - over… Read More

Mesa Verde Museum Association, Colorado, USA, 1961. First Edition. Softcover. Very Good Condition. Starting c. 7500 BCE Mesa Verde was seasonally inhabited by a group of nomadic Paleo-Indians known as the Foothills Mountain Complex. The variety of projectile points found in the region indicates they were influenced by surrounding areas, including the Great Basin, the San Juan Basin, and the Rio Grande Valley. Later, Archaic people established semi-permanent rock shelters in and around the mesa. By 1000 BCE, the Basket-maker culture emerged from the local Archaic population, and by 750 CE the Ancestral Puebloans had developed from the Basket-maker culture. The Mesa Verdeans survived using a combination of hunting, gathering, and subsistence farming of crops such as corn, beans, and squash. They built the mesa's first pueblos sometime after 650, and by the end of the 12th century, they began to construct the massive cliff dwellings for which the Mesa Verde National Park is best known.
