With outstretched minds and non truths, including, Mythology, Fairy Tales, Horror and Three (D) and fourth dimensional scenarios, Fabrications and Lies, which would also heavily involve the poor unattributed participating readers taking part in it..!

Local rather than international, the dramas and privations described in this memoir are not the stuff of headlines. This is the story of an ordinary boy growing up in Belfast after the war; an ordinary boy who would go on to become world-famous as a hostage in Beirut and author of the extraordinary testimony of imprisonment and survival that was An Evil Cradling. Brian Keenan has captured the vanished world of 1950s Belfast in all its vivid vernacular and grey, post-war austerity. I'll Tell Me Ma is an affectionate story of a disaffected childhood. At the centre is a shy, self-conscious boy of unusual moral integrity; a boy puzzled by religion and sectarianism, in love with books and music and full of curiosity about the world outside. It is also a book about coming-to-terms with the past: a resounding, thrilling record of redemption.

The author spent six years under psychiatric care before she found her way into a self and mutual help organisation. In this setting she found total healing for what had been called an 'incurable' illness. In the course of 14 years of academic study, writing several papers on the subject that had little or no effect, she finally realised that getting the healing message to other sufferers would require a very different genre of writing. This book, a novel, is that genre. Drawing on 38 years of experience, she has pieced together a coherent story of recovery. Perhaps most significantly, the characters and events are based on fact. In Voice of the Witness, six mentally ill people decide to meet regularly and share their experiences in order to help each other live a better life. None believe that recovery is possible. They find that the ordinary, everyday things they do are remarkably healing. They continue to explore issues and discover that much of their professional treatment has unwittingly fostered and nurtured their mental illnesses. By the time the book ends, four of the group are totally free of their illness and all medication. The other two are psychologically sound, and in the last stages of recovery. Voice of the Witness is a life-changing book. This is the 12th book by Emma Pierce, PhD, of Newcastle, Australia. After recovering from mental illness, she spent 38 years working with other sufferers, as well as completing her doctorate on 'A Practical Theology of Mental Health'.

After a near-fatal crash in the Scottish Highlands, Ben, an ex-army major with a passion for protecting the innocent, dreams of previous deaths. Visited by a mysterious stranger who puts him into a series of trances to reveal more of his past, he stops the sessions after seeing his fiancée burned as a witch. Ben’s doctor, Susan, is driven by her desire to care for people. Strangely drawn to Ben, she shares a vision in which they are drowned as human sacrifices. Still disoriented, she agrees to accompany new colleague, Lord Mortimer, to a conference in Dubai. There the lord imprisons her in his desert villa where he demonstrates how he has achieved immortality by consuming a man’s soul, telling her she will be next. Sharing more past experiences while fighting to stay alive in the present, Susan and Ben must endure unspeakable horrors across millennia to discover the clues they need to survive; to find each other, and to challenge their nemesis. From ancient Egypt to the D-Day landings; from the African slave trade to punk rock; a multitude of lives lived, culminating in a single moment. All as the sinister Mortimer, destroyer of souls, lies in wait.

Listening and Talking: A Pathway to Acting provides undergraduate acting students with a clear, achievable, step-by-step way to approach the work of playing a role. The text is supplemented by exclusive video material to take the actor from their first encounter with the text through rehearsals with fellow actors and into performance. Drawing from the author's twenty years' experience of teaching at the Yale School of Drama, this book, which is influenced, too, by the work of legendary teachers such as Konstantin Stanislavski and Uta Hagen, presents a thorough examination of key aspects of the actor's technique (for example, listening, playing an action and pursuing an objective). Throughout, it includes exercises and process points through which students can put into practice the key lessons from each chapter. The practices laid out in this book form a holistic curriculum that not only ensures measurable results over a semester- or year-long course, but also sets in motion an internal process that will serve the student over their life as an artist.
