Wholeness is a process that encompasses all that we are as humans-in-interaction. The contemporary human is in a great deal of psychological distress. As a result, people do all sorts of extreme things to ease the tension. For instance, some become hedonistic with inordinate desires for drugs (alcohol, tranquilizers, etc.), food, and sex; whereas some become fanatical in their belief system, including religious beliefs, with tendency toward externality. The extent that the human person succeeds in integrating the physical, psychosocial and spiritual domain is the extent that humanity evolves to a higher level of consciousness whereby the individual being at peace with oneself, reaches out creatively and assertively to neighbours, and to the larger world that encompasses humans and the natural order in harmony.

We have poisoned the air and water on which our lives depend. Poor countries exhaust their land in the struggle to survive while rich countries demand more and more. The Earthscan Action Handbook spells out why things have gone so terribly wrong and what each of us can do to clean up the mess. Each chapter deals with one of the major problems people and the planet now face: meeting the human needs of health, education and social justice as well as the environmental needs of our dying lakes and forests, polluted seas, threatened habitats and endangered species. Packed with suggestions for positive action, this book also gives details of who to contact, what to read and where to go if you want to do more. Whether you care about buying safe food or feeding the world, The Earthscan Action Handbook is indispensable. Originally published in 1990

Mathew Manning combines a good deal of practical information and enjoyable, anecdotal text to give the reader a pleasurable insight into the world of air rifle hunting. In Hunting with Air Rifles, Mathew Manning has compiled a step-by-step guide on everything a novice or an expert air-gun user needs to know when hunting and culling wildlife. Hunting with Air Rifles is a complete guide to the basics of using an air rifle - covering all elements of the sport from the nitty gritty (though not frighteningly technical) workings of the air rifle to how to choose the right gun, using sights, ammunition, accessories, clothing, camouflage, setting up, shooting techniques/stances, the law and acquiring permission to shoot and how to avoid the pit-falls of expensive or dangerous equipment. Manning deals with quarry recognition and the relationship between the hunter, his/her quarry and the countryside. Hunting techniques for various species are included from stalking to hide building, decoying, baiting, lamping and use of calls. Air rifle hunting is one of the most humane ways of sourcing meat and animal welfare and organic standards can't get much higher and food miles are minimal. The photographs are straight forward and support the text and readers will find clear instructions on converting shot quarry into meat for the table along with a series of simple and delicious recipes. This book is essential reading for novice and for expert air-gunners.

This new collection of vintage-with-a-twist work by Anne Taintor offers up a fresh serving of Anne's signature hilarious commentary on the joys, challenges, and cocktail hours of motherhood. From the fundamentals (WOW! I get to give birth AND change diapers!) to putting food on the table (you see them as pies. I see them as cries for help) to dealing with childhood questions (because I'm the mother. that's why) and strategies for taking the edge off (now be a dear and fetch mommy her flask), Taintor expertly captures the funny, frantic, and honest thoughts that most moms have experienced, with an attitude mothers everywhere will welcome.

Drawing on scores of interviews with black and white tobacco workers in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Robert Korstad brings to life the forgotten heroes of Local 22 of the Food, Tobacco, Agricultural and Allied Workers of America-CIO. These workers confronted a system of racial capitalism that consigned African Americans to the basest jobs in the industry, perpetuated low wages for all southerners, and shored up white supremacy. Galvanized by the emergence of the CIO, African Americans took the lead in a campaign that saw a strong labor movement and the reenfranchisement of the southern poor as keys to reforming the South-and a reformed South as central to the survival and expansion of the New Deal. In the window of opportunity opened by World War II, they blurred the boundaries between home and work as they linked civil rights and labor rights in a bid for justice at work and in the public sphere. But civil rights unionism foundered in the maelstrom of the Cold War. Its defeat undermined later efforts by civil rights activists to raise issues of economic equality to the moral high ground occupied by the fight against legalized segregation and, Korstad contends, constrains the prospects for justice and democracy today.

The standard survival retreat advice has always been to find a remote place in Idaho or Montana, with at least 20 acres, a 2,000-square-foot log cabin and a bunker underneath, a barn, pastureland, and a stream running through the property. But how many of us can afford such a spread without a crippling mortgage? If you can't make the hefty payments on your survival retreat, the bankers will evict you, leaving you worse off than those who failed to prepare in the first place. M.D. Creekmore's motivation for finding a low-cost retreat was the need to live on a lot less money after he lost his job and got divorced. He started living in a travel trailer, parked on two acres he'd bought a few years back to use as a campsite and bug-out location, never dreaming he'd be living there full time. But he has called his trailer home for the past four years and says that "for the first time in my life, I'm actually content." Living off the grid in a travel trailer isn't for everyone. But if you are looking for a way to own a debt-free home-and enjoy the security that comes with it-here's the author's dirt-cheap plan for finding suitable land; buying a used trailer; securing it against the elements and intruders; providing alternative power sources; dealing with water and waste issues; maximizing your space; and establishing a workable storage system for food, water, medicine, tools, and other equipment. The good news is that the author has done the hard part for you.

Dora Charles is the real deal, and hers may be the most honest - and personal - southern cookbook I've ever read." - John Martin Taylor In her first cookbook, a revered former cook at Savannah's most renowned restaurant divulges her locally famous Savannah recipes-many of them never written down before-and those of her family and friends Hundreds of thousands of people have made a trip to dine on the exceptional food cooked by Dora Charles at Savannah's most famous restaurant. Now, the woman who was barraged by editors and agents to tell her story invites us into her home to taste the food she loves best. These are the intensely satisfying dishes at the heart of Dora's beloved Savannah: Shrimp and Rice; Simple Smoky Okra; Buttermilk Cornbread from her grandmother; and of course, a truly incomparable Fried Chicken. Each dish has a "secret ingredient" for a burst of flavor: mayonnaise in the biscuits; Savannah Seasoning in her Gone to Glory Potato Salad; sugar-glazed bacon in her deviled eggs. All the cornerstones of the Southern table are here, from Out-of-This-World Smothered Catfish to desserts like a jaw-dropping Very Red Velvet Cake. With moving dignity, Dora describes her motherless upbringing in Savannah, the hard life of her family, whose memories stretched back to slave times, learning to cook at age six, and the years she worked at the restaurant. "Talking About" boxes impart Dora's cooking wisdom, and evocative photos of Savannah and the Low Country set the scene.

From the rooftop of his family home in Warsaw, Zbygniew, a senior medical student, had witnessed the Red Army invasion of Poland from the East. At the Polish government's request, the Soviets had raided his motherland, determined to crush the anticommunist demonstrations. Caught in the middle of an uprising on the Warsaw University campus, he helped two female colleagues escape unharmed through the Old City catacombs. Shortly thereafter, he fell in love with one of them, Alina, who later became his wife. Living conditions in Poland were deteriorating year by year, with severe food shortages, overcrowded living conditions and skyrocketing inflation. The communist Red Market's failings, caused by inferior quality consumer goods and shoddy industrial products, were a mirror image of the centralized economy. Dr. Zbygniew's mother, Mrs. Stanislawa, a Second World War widow, had instilled invaluable attributes in her son, especially those needed for succeeding in that world of oppression. Together they financed a private medical facility in the heart of Warsaw named the Premier Polyclinic, which thrived from day one. When the collusion among the private sector, nicknamed the Black Market, and the central economy evolved, Dr. Zbygniew jumped onboard. From auto shops to the importation of office supplies, his dealings were the envy of the competition. To manage his financial affairs, he appointed his best friend Marek as his administrator. The ex-musician and drama actor became a beacon of inspiration with his instincts for profitable investments. Whether it was an overland import of American cars, or trading in US dollars and gold, he always turned out a good profit. Later on, Marek married Dr. Zbygniew's cousin Yolanda, the head nurse of the private clinic. Their too-brief marriage ended in tragedy, leading to Marek's departure to Israel. In the hospital environment, Dr. Zbygniew befriended a young immigrant from Bucharest, Dr. Victor, who was married to a famous.

The second novel in the exciting Zombie Dawn series that follows the outbreak of a deadly Zombie plague and the people that are left, fighting to survive. This book continues the story one year on from Zombie Dawn Outbreak. The world is now a very different place, far from the disorganised and desperate struggle to simply survive an hour, the remnants of humanity have formed new communities with their own unique approaches to survival in a zombie dominated world.A ragtag flotilla of ships sails the Pacific looking for any survivors and supplies. A chance find of a missing Ocean Liner that appears to be in distress leads to an elite team being sent to investigate. With time running out, what will they find and how many will make it back alive? In Australia, former medieval re-enactor Bruce has become the unlikely leader of a road column, living like a rock star whilst trying to find enough food to survive. The lax discipline and careless attitude leads them in to a dangerous trap. Dave, the bored British office worker has settled down in a small community built around a wealthy landowner's house. The community has a strict rule set to stay alive, but when one man gets over ambitious, everyone has to deal with the bloody consequences. Madison, the daughter of a Pastor, is bored of living within the safe and teetotal confines of their seemingly perfect community in the American Midwest. But when a horde of enemies the size of which no one could have imagined threatens the town, they must make the tough decision to defend their homes or run for their lives. In the United Kingdom tiny groups of survivors travel the highways in the West of England in heavily modified and armoured convoys looking for supplies. In the Pacific the safest place to be is the Sanctuary, formally known as Hawaii. Well defended and supplied, it is the last, best place to live for the remaining living. It was, until a combination of a disgruntled ex-employee and secret biological research
