Light in the Shade

by Pam Eaves

Light in the Shade is her first collection of short stories under her own name.

Jung's People 

by Kay Green

_______________________________________________________
Are you a parent, a child or a lover? Are you a fighter, a healer or a straw in the wind? What happens when we improvise and reject society's scripts? We find that there are older, deeper roles laid out for us - those driven by mythology, by instinct and by fate.

"...Kay Green draws on Jungian philosophy to create a compelling and intellectually stimulating collection. This is another excellent collection from Elastic Press and well worth reading. Jung would, I think, be proud of this child."
- from Prism: The magazine of the British Fantasy Society

ISBN: 978 906451 01 1  

15 original stories based on Jungian archetypes

Anatomy of an Air Crash 

How Culture Decides Your Fate

An unambiguous critique of the industry by

Terry Tozer

a_pilot_with_20_years_in_the_business 

www.terrytozer.co.uk

An entertaining, if worrying, analysis of the impact of politics and big business on a hard won safety culture. The assault led by corporate managers who cannot fly and yet ignore pilot’s criticisms.

Ride on the flight deck with the author as your commentator. Witness take offs, landings, simulator checks and even well known crashes. Then understand why he is worried.

Get answers to questions you have always asked yourself. Is Turbulence dangerous? Is the pilot asleep? What IS that noise? What do crews do on a night-stop? Did the engineer leave a spanner in the works?

Even the most nervous passenger will want to read it, as knowledge is power and you will learn which airlines not to fly with and an awful lot more.________________________________

Discover all the secrets when we dish the dirt and start...Spilling the Beans on Boudicca.

This is one of a series of fun biographical histories from publishers Miles Kelly.

Easy to read and understand even the big words, complimented by the very witty line drawings. I would recommend this to any parent, guardian, teacher or young person with an appetite for good reading matter.
I am now left in the predicament of hiding this book from my grandson, as he will want the whole series. (Cheers, David  £ £ £ £ £ £ £ !) - Terry Sorby
