This 2008 edition has now been updated - and very substantially enlarged (it is 40% bigger) - and is now available in eight short books called the Cancer: Complete Recovery Guide series. There are dozens of cures for cancer. When Jonathan's wife, Bernadette, was diagnosed with cancer, Jonathan realised he knew nothing about the disease. "What I needed was a sane, personal, intelligent and critical voice that could lead me through these contending beliefs; that could put both sides of the case and point up the limitations of any arguments there might be. But I never found this voice. So, I have taken it upon myself to provide this voice for others. This then is the book I wish I had had at hand when Bern was diagnosed with cancer." "Chamberlain has a voice that is at once humble and powerful. I like writers that cut to the chase, and then do not skimp on the practical details... and I really like his attitude. He speaks from the heart, but clearly wants you to use your head. Good combination." - Andrew Saul, PhD, Doctor Yourself Website "Thank you for the organization of a fragmented body of information. This book is now the reference book on alternative treatments." - Jim Cole "I now can recommend your book. as 'the' book to read. You have covered just about everything that I have read, and it took me over twenty books and innumerable downloads to do it. The book is more precious than gold!" - Richard Thompson, cancer patient "This book tells me everything I want to know. Why didn't my doctor tell me this?" - Rev. Bill Newbern

With its slick cover, solid editing, and often compelling work, Guildworks: Writings by the West Side Writers Guild bears few signs of self-publication, said the Literary Supplement of NEW CITY, Chicago's arts and entertainment weekly. An unusual anthology of works by natives of Chicago's toughest and poorest section, a locale that fosters people who gain strength from adversity, Guildworks' highlights include poet Cranston Knight's You Ain't Got No Culture, in which he disses a friend for his lack of refinement, only to end by praising him for his loyalty; Boone's A Visit to the Poe House, that recounts his harrowing search for the poet's Baltimore row house located in the heart of a drug den; Irene J. Smith's novel excerpt that sets the stage for the late Chicago Mayor Harold Washington's 1983 mayoral campaign; and Tina Jenkins Bell's lighthearted account of the sexual harassment she encountered on the road as a publishing sales representative. --Literary Supplement of NEW CITY

Do the Hong Kong Chinese experience ghosts, hauntings, spirit mediumship, ESP and other paranormal phenomena just like British and Americans? Or is their culture so different that the ghost accounts in this book will seem bizarre to anyone else? This classic presentation of cases is based on 3,600 interviews, questionnaires and observations in Hong Kong in 1980/81, updated by recent materials over 30 years later. Interestingly, in spite of clear influences from ancestor worship and Confucian/Taoist/Buddhist culture, parapsychological theories of apparitions from the West also apply to the Chinese cases. For this 2017 edition, Charles Emmons has revisited his earlier conclusions and added new material that has come to light in the intervening years. This book remains the only major cross-cultural study comparing Chinese with Western ghost experiences.

There's no place on Earth quite like it. From Guangzhou to Hong Kong, the booming megalopolis of the Pearl River Delta has endless stories to tell. South China Morning Blues is filled with these tales of the postmodern East: depraved, rapidly changing, and never boring. Just what kinds of characters find themselves in 21st-century China? There's Marco, a crooked businessman with a penchant for call girls; Danny, a culture-shocked young traveler; Sheila, a local club girl caught up in family politics; Amber, a drug-fueled aspiring model; Terry, an alcoholic journalist; and Ting Ting, a lovable artist with a chip on her shoulder. Their lives intertwine in unexpected ways, as they delve deeper into their surroundings and in the process learn more about themselves. China may be leading the world into the future, but its inhabitants are going to have to make sense of the present if that future is ever going to arrive.
