A new, holistic approach to natural designing and decorating for  a home that is healthy for the mind, body, and spirit. Beautifully  illustrated with color photos. When we walk into a room for the first  time, we often have an immediate reaction to its atmosphere. The  natural energies created by our environment highly influence the way we  feel. By enhancing positive elements, such as light, color, and scent,  we can create a harmonious sanctuary that engenders health and  well-being and nurtures all that is best in the human spirit.  Environmental designer Suzy Chiazzri draws from a variety of cultures  and philosophies to reveal the many ways in which we can improve the  vital energy in our home. By using natural materials, full-spectrum  lighting, energy-balancing sounds, as well as the healing properties of  water, plants, sunlight, scent, color, and placement or feng shui, we  can charge our home with ``an energy that connects us to the earth, the  air, and each other to sustain us in perfect health.'' Suzy Chiazzari  is a designer of healing environments as well as a color therapist. 128  pp   8 1/2 x 10   70 color photos

"A Secret Country" examines controversial issues that need adressing in not only Australia but most of the world: genocide, public amnesia, the worth of capitalism, political corruption, unemployment, media manipulation by not only governments but private enterprise, and most importantly, man's inhumanity to man. Pilger's intention for writing this book is clear: to explode the myths Australia adopted, and by doing so, drag the Australian psyche through a kind of confrontational therapy. Australian's finding their "true identitiy" through the examination of her past is the only way for the country, "To break free from our imperial past; and for us, like everyone else, breaking free is our only future." Two of the most powerful chapters examines the savage genocide of the true Australian's, the Aboriginals, is a fact that most white Australians are aware of but refuse to think or talk about, and continue to turn a blind eye. The most controversial issue of white oppression is Aboriginal "deaths in custody," Pilger writes, "Black Australians continue to die in custody on an average of about one death every fourteen days." A Royal Commision was formed which made 339 recomendations, but after the fog cleared, so to speak, the bottom line, Pilger writes, "There was no call for criminal charges and not a single conclusion of foul play in cases that went back nine years." There is certainly "something rotten in Denmark." (From Hamlet) There are many other issue raised in this text and anyone interested, will find this book both fascinating and terribly disturbing.

RETURN OF THE DEATHWALKER From the timeless, magical, and merciless Drenai realm--evoked so unforgettably in David Gemmell's international bestseller Legend--comes a new tale of power and passion, of a man born to kill, and destined for greatness . . . He was called Druss. Captain of the ax. The Deathwalker. Though the blood of merciless butchers coursed through his veins and made him an outcast among men, Druss had finally found a fragile peace through his love for beautiful, mystical Rowena. In their small village on the edge of the Drenai land, the young married couple lived a simple life . . . until the day Druss returned from the forest to find everyone dead, massacred by slavers who had stolen the young women to sell for gold, Rowena among them. Armed only with his family's deadly heirloom, a darkly powerful double-bladed ax called Snaga, Druss went after Rowena. His journey would carry him to strange kingdoms, from the highest thrones of power to the deepest dungeons of depravity. Along the way, he would win empires and nearly lose his mind, battle savage monsters and descend into terrifying lands of black magic and demons. Yet one thing was certain, Druss would have victory . . . or death.
