How can I improve my eyesight? Can I stop my sight deteriorating? Will I always have to wear glasses? how can I relieve eyestrain? This book offers a clear explanation of the work and methods practised by Dr William H. Bates to help improve vision and eyesight by natural means. The Bates Method is a non-invasive and natural way of enhancing perception, using simple techniques to relieve strain and improve eye/brain co-ordination. Peter Mansfield, a practising Bates Method and Alexander Technique teacher, draws on a wide range of therapeutic and educational experience in his introduction to this holistic approach to good sight. He outlines the development and philosophy of the Bates Method, tells how to find a Bates teacher and what to expect from learning the method. His descriptions of the techniques used and their applications to various conditions are illustrated with case histories.

Over the centuries the Middle East has confounded the dreams of conquerors and peacemakers alike. In this profound book Peter Mansfield, acclaimed author of "The Arabs," follows the historic struggles of the region over the last two hundred years, from Napolean's assault on Egypt, through the slow decline and fall of the Ottoman Empire, to the painful emergence of modern nations, the Palestinian question and the growth of Islamic fundamentalism. The discovery of huge oil reserves has given the region global economic importance as well as unique strategic value, and the result has been massive superpower involvement. Finally he considers the future of the Middle East and concludes that it will remain 'one of the nerve centres of the world'.
