DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The day dawns and Professor Hamish Herbert Balfour has an inkling of an idea of how to first, fight the now ever present threat of Global Terrorism, secondly how to identify the needs to combat terrorism, not with weapons or military force but with the power of thought, the power of the internet, the power of as yet to be found new frontiers of computing power. His agile brain thinks ‘out of the box’ and channels his thoughts into the development of a hitherto un-thought of solution to thwart the ever growing threat of terrorism and the global network of people willing to maim or kill their ‘fellow man’ in the name of idealistic fanaticism. His passion to find a solution leads him from his hitherto ‘safe haven’ of a government ‘think tank’ to the cloak and dagger world of spies and the secret life of a international intelligence, intrigue, danger and murderous deeds..

When his father is murdered in an act of random violence, Hamish's world turns upside down. Angry and alienated, Hamish begins to lose his tolerant beliefs and is drawn towards racist reactions. A move to France promises a much needed new beginning, but only builds Hamish's new attitudes as he becomes embroiled in the narrow-minded views of the locals. But then a boat of north-african refugees founders on the coast and Hamish encounters the sole survivor. Now his world is turned upside down again, caught between the violence of his past experiences and new realities unfolding in front of him.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →When her parents died and her marriage disintegrated within the span of a few months, art historian and performance artist Joanna Frueh entered a painful period of grief and mourning. This book is about how she healed herself and in the process explored the range of her potential as a woman.Swooning Beauty is an intimate memoir of discovery and healing. Frueh’s path to recovery lay through a profound examination of her intuitions, desires, fantasies, dreams, and emotions, her capacity for pleasure—visual, sensual, intellectual, gastronomic, and erotic—and her sense of her own heroic female identity. Hers is the passionate voice of a creative, intelligent woman scrutinizing the nature of love in all its forms and the ways of being that make us free, flexible, more fully real and more fully human. The result is an engaging view into the rich and colorful inner life of a woman at the threshold of middle age, of the blossoming of mind and spirit that comes after suffering and self-realization. Pleasure, she concludes, “is the absence of lack. Self-love is a necessary plenitude. Vigilance in love brings us freedom. Freedom is not an absolute whose attainment is humanly impossible. Yogis say that the self that is not ego is free. That self is the spacious heart, the spacious mind.” Frueh offers us wisdom and comfort for the journey into middle age, and the deep pleasure of encountering a generous, lively spirit and a remarkably spacious mind.
