The Dance of Reality
A Psychomagical Autobiography
ALEJANDRO JODOROWSKY
Alejandro Jodorowsky re-creates
the incredible adventure of his
life as an artist, filmmaker,
writer and therapist. This is
autobiography as an act of
healing. Through the retelling of
his own life, he shows we do not
start off with our own
personalities – they are given to
us by one or more members of our
family tree. To be born into a family,
Jodorowsky says, is to be possessed.
To peer back into our past is equivalent
to digging into our own souls. If we can dig
deep enough, beyond familial projections, we
shall find an inner light – a light that can help
us through life’s most difficult tests.
Offering a glimpse into the mind and life
of one of the most creative and enigmatic
visionaries of our time, THE DANCE OF
REALITY is the book upon which
Jodorowsky’s critically acclaimed 2013
Cannes Film Festival film of the same name
was based.

The Story of Edgar Cayce
THOMAS SUGRUE
Edgar Cayce (1877-1945) is known to
millions today as the grandfather of
the New Age. A medical clairvoyant,
psychic and Christian mystic, Cayce
provided medical, psychological and
spiritual advice to thousands of
people who swore by the
effectiveness of his trance-based
readings.
But Cayce was not always a
household name. When a young,
sceptical journalist named Thomas
Sugrue first met Cayce in 1927 the world
had not yet heard of “the sleeping
prophet.” During years of unique access,
Sugrue completed his landmark biography,
which, on its publication in 1942, brought
national attention to Cayce and stands as
the sole record written during the seer’s
lifetime.
This edition includes a new introduction
by historian, Mitch Horowitz, which
highlights the enduring meaning of Cayce’s
message.

The Man From Mars
Ray Palmer’s Amazing Pulp Journey
FRED NADIS
Meet Ray Palmer. A hustler, a trickster and a
visionary. The hunchbacked Palmer, who
stood at just over four feet tall, was,
nevertheless, an indomitable force, the ruler
of his own bizarre sector of the universe.
In the first-ever biography devoted to
the figure who moulded modern geek
culture, pulp scholar, Fred Nadis, paints a
vivid portrait of Palmer – a brilliant,
charming and wildly wilful iconoclast who
helped ignite the UFO craze, convinced
Americans of hidden worlds and
government cover ups and championed the
occult and paranormal.

A Man of

The Life of an Eccentric
in an Age of Change
JOHN GLASSIE
The interests of Athanasius Kircher, the
legendary seventeenth-century priest-
scientist, knew no bounds. From optics to
music to magnetism to medicine, he offered
up inventions and theories for everything
and they made him famous across Europe.
His celebrated museum in Rome featured
magic lanterns, speaking statues, the tail of
a mermaid and a brick from the Tower of
Babel. Holy Roman Emperors were his
patrons, popes were his friends and in his
spare time he collaborated with the
Baroque master Bernini.
A MAN OF MISCONCEPTIONS traces the
rise, success and eventual fall of this
fascinating character as he attempted to
come to terms with a changing world.

Paper Love
Searching For the Girl
My Grandfather Left Behind
SARAH WILDMAN
Years after her grandfather’s death,
journalist, Sarah Wildman, stumbled upon
a cache of his letters in a file labelled
“Correspondence: Patients A–G.” What she
found inside weren’t dry medical histories;
instead what was written opened a path
into the destroyed world that was her
family’s pre-war Vienna. One woman’s
letters stood out: those from Valy – Valerie
Scheftel – her grandfather’s lover who had
remained behind when he fled Europe six
months after the Nazis annexed Austria.
Obsessed with Valy’s story, Wildman
began a quest that lasted years and
spanned continents. In the course of
discovering Valy’s ultimate fate, she was
forced to reexamine the story of her
grandfather’s triumphant escape and how
this history fit within her own life.

Bukowski for
Beginners
CARLOS POLIMENI
ILLUSTRATED BY MIGUEL REP
Bukowski was one of the most
unconventional writers and
cultural critics of the twentieth
century. He lived an
unorthodox, idiosyncratic life
and wrote in a style that was
unique – a style that is
impossible to classify or
categorise. His work was at
times cynical or humorous and
was always brilliant and
challenging. His life and work
are distinguished not only by a
remarkable talent for words, but,
also, by his rejection of the dominant social
and cultural values of American society.
In BUKOWSKI FOR BEGINNERS,
playwright, Carlos Polimeni, evaluates the
life and literary achievements of the cult
writer whose voice of dissidence and
discontent is still heard and appreciated by
readers worldwide.
Stanislavski for
Beginners
DAVID ALLEN
ILLUSTRATED BY JEFF FALLOW
STANISLAVSKI FOR
BEGINNERS charts the
development of the
Stanislavski system. It shows
how it grew from his own
practice as an actor and
director. It includes a clear
exposition of the key
elements of the system, such
as relaxation, concentration,
emotion, memory, units and
objectives and the
superobjective. Finally, the
book explores the Method of
Physical Actions, which he worked on in the
years before his death and which he called
“the result of my whole life’s work”.
STANISLAVSKI FOR BEGINNERS is both
an invaluable guide to the Stanislavski
system and a fascinating chronicle of his
life. It shatters some common myths and
misconceptions and blows away the
cobwebs, bringing his ideas vividly to life.

Harnessing the Power of Play to Give
Your Company a Competitive Advantage
CHRISTOPHER BYRNE
Play is an essential, necessary and natural
human activity... and it’s for adults and
companies too. Play is an immersive process
that allows us to ask “What if?” – to break
free of the strictures that limit creativity and
satisfaction. It is not about reverting to
childhood, but a way to use the processes
that came naturally to us as children but
have been trained out of us, labelled as
inappropriate or otherwise diminished.
FUNNY BUSINESS will show you how
adults and companies can recapture and
use this powerful tool to foster innovation,
increase their competitive advantage and
create a vibrant and satisfying workplace. It
delves into the concepts of play and what
makes it so powerful in children’s
development and dispels the myths and
beliefs that have made play a dirty word.

Bad English
A History of Linguistic Aggravation
AMMON SHEA
English is a glorious mess of a language,
cobbled together from a wide variety of
sources and syntaxes and changing over
time with popular usage. Many of the words
and usages we embrace as standard and
correct today were at first considered slang,
impolite or just plain wrong.
Whether you consider yourself a
stickler, a nitpicker or a rule-breaker in the
know, BAD ENGLISH is sure to enlighten,
enrage and, perhaps, even inspire. Filled
with historic and contemporary examples,
the book chronicles the long and
entertaining history of language mistakes
and features some of our most common
words and phrases, including:
●● Decimate
●● That/which
●● Enervate/energise
●● Bemuse/amuse
●● Literally/figuratively

Saussure for

TERRENCE W. GORDON

SAUSSURE FOR BEGINNERS puts the
challenging ideas of Ferdinand de Saussure
(1857-1913) into clear and illuminating
terms, focusing on the unifying principles of
his teachings and showing how his thoughts
on linguistics migrated to anthropology.
Ferdinand de Saussure’s work is so
powerful that it not only redefined modern
linguistics, it also opened our minds to new
ways of approaching anthropology, literary
criticism and psychoanalysis. Upon his
death, however, his students were so
inspired by his teachings that they published
them as the “Course in General Linguistics.”
SAUSSURE FOR BEGINNERS takes you
through this course, points out the unifying
principles and shows how these ideas
migrated from linguistics to other subjects.

Hailey Discovers Happiness

BRYAN SMITH
ILLUSTRATED BY KATIA WISH
Summer is over and poor Hailey is just
dreading going back to school. She just
doesn’t feel like she fits in! If only she could
be tall like Tyler or fast like Braden or maybe
even clever like Cade. But everyone knows
that just can’t happen… or can it? Imagine
Hailey’s surprise when she wakes the next
morning to find her boring old bathroom
mirror is covered in Magic Apps! The apps
promise to make her taller, faster, brighter
and so much more! What harm is there in
trying it? The apps only last one day and
surely this will solve all of her problems, right?
Hailey learns, with help from her mum
and friends, that she has so much to offer
just by being herself. And that to truly be
happy, she needs to look within herself
instead of relying on others.

I Can’t Believe
You Said That!
My Story about Using My
Social Filter…or Not!
JULIA COOK
ILLUSTRATED BY KELSEY DE WEERD
RJ’s mouth is getting him into a lot of
trouble. A rude comment at school earned
him a detention. An insensitive remark at
home earned him a scolding and made his
sister cry. RJ doesn’t realise his words are
wrong. He thinks he's just offering feedback.
It’s time RJ starts using a social filter
when he speaks. With help from his parents,
he learns he doesn’t have to verbalise every
thought that pops into his head. In fact,
sometimes the less said the better!

Chizi’s Tale
The True Story of an
Orphaned Black Rhino
JACK JONES
ILLUSTRATED BY JACQUI TAYLOR
In Zimbabwe, during a recent August, two park
rangers made a surprising discovery. They
found an abandoned baby black rhino, only
days old. They called the park manager who,
knowing the rhino could not survive alone, did
something as surprising as the discovery itself
– he took the baby rhino home.
CHIZI’S TALE is the true story of that
baby rhino. Chizi will live with the park
manager, his wife and their children until he
matures and can be released back into the
wild. Written by a young author determined
to share Chizi’s story as a way to help save
the black rhino from extinction,
CHIZI’S TALE is a remarkable, moving story
about an endearing and vulnerable rhino
and the brave family helping him.
