Sumo is fast becoming the UK's top cult sport. It is larger than life, full of colour and splendour, and has giant-size characters to match. They fight not just one another, but invisible forces in a Zen world which is, for them, a way of life. These huge stars are national heroes in Japan, and are already big news in Britain. They include the 35V2-stone Hawaiian Konishiki, known as the Dump Truck; a blazing typhoon called Terao; and the most formidable Grand Champion for many years, Chiyonofuji, the Wolf. Channel 4's ever-growing audiences are among the many keen to know more about the great men themselves, who are set to arrive in the UK for the 1991 Japan Festival, when they will fight in the Royal Albert Hall. Here they all are, from the Grand Champions and big favourites to the heavy set of the lower senior ranks. Find out about their triumphs and disasters, their tastes and techniques, as well as all the background information on rules, rituals, training and tournaments to help you enjoy this mesmerising sport.

Rescue Dogs and Their Second Lives: Information, Inspiration and Practical Support for Re-Homing a Rescue Dog

We seem to be living through an epidemic of stress. Thousands of therapists, counselors and healers are devoted to protecting-and perhaps even saving-us from a disease that they say debilitates, and even kills. Every year millions of dollars are committed to fighting stress. But are these efforts really combating stress? From symptoms to cure, in this brilliant reassessment Angela Patmore raises important questions about the way we treat a condition that has become central part of modern living. Its conclusions will cause us to profoundly reappraise the way we understand our own health and well-being.

Shortlisted for last year's MIND Book of the Year Award, this controversial exposé of a multimillion-pound industry argues that the term 'stress', when applied to human beings, is completely meaningless. We seem to be living through an epidemic of stress. There are 15 million websites dedicated to the subject and Britain alone has over two million accredited therapists, counsellors and healers devoted to protecting us from what they claim is a debilitating disease. But is there really a stress problem? In this brilliant and provocative analysis, Angela Patmore examines the confusion and controversy surrounding the whole concept, raising important questions about the treatments and advice that offer to cure it. She argues that the health angst engendered by all this lucrative 'stress awareness' sends its victims in search of therapy and sedation and fuels an epidemic costing the UK billions. Far from helping people cope with their problems and feelings, she contends, the unregulated industry is harming them. Her conclusions suggest we need to reappraise profoundly the way we understand our own health and well-being.

The first part of the book offers fresh insights into depression and into how it can be overcome. The second offers practical advice, culminating in a series of challenges that will enable you to change your entire attitude to emotional health and achieve a more positive and hopeful outlook on life. To be of any real use to someone in despair, a self-help programme must provide, step by step, a practical stairway out of hell. This is that stairway.
