Druids, long the source of myth and mystery, were not lost in the mists of time. Once central to ancient Celtic culture, the spirits of the Druids periodically return to inspire new generations to find solutions for the spiritual needs of new eras. The Book of Keltria tells the story of a modern branch of Druidism that has evolved to be relevant in the 21st century. Decades of oral and written lessons developed by the key individuals who shaped the Henge, are consolidated into book form for the first time. Derived from material once found only in its correspondence course and workshops, The Book of Keltria includes information on Druid history, Keltrian Druid theology, invocation techniques, and ritualcraft. Also included are chapters on meditation, use of divination, magick, and the history of the Henge. All are presented with the goal of assisting readers in their spiritual evolution through honoring the Ancestors, revering the Spirits of Nature and celebrating the Gods and Goddesses of the ancient Celts. "A feast of information for anyone interested in Druidry. The Book of Keltria provides a fascinating account of how the Keltrian path has developed, and of the ways in which Druidism is able to respond to the spiritual needs of growing numbers of seekers." - Philip Carr-Gomm

A unique interview with John Lennon which was recorded when The Beatles were in New Zealand in 1964. It was recorded by Psychology Professor Dr Tony Taylor who was at the time doing a study into Beatlemania. It gives a remarkable insight into Lennon's thoughts regarding fame, music and life generally at a time when the group was still new to all the world-wide adulation they were receiving. I have included an attachment of both the covers and the text for you to enjoy and to quote from if you think it will help the posting for your blog. I think this is something of a coup for a New Zealand publisher as it must be one of the last unpublished interviews with John Lennon and it has been an honour to work with Dr Taylor on the project. You will note that my poem 'The Flipside of the Ballad of John and Yoko' appears at the end of the book as an antidote to the effects of fame.

At age eighty, Tony Taylor journeys from Sydney, Australia, to British Columbia to fish the Cowichan River with his eight-year-old grandson, Ned. The trip is an opportunity for Tony to return to a landscape that has had a profound effect on his life and his way of thinking, and to share this place with his grandson. As Tony teaches Ned the patient art of fly-fishing, a lifetime of memories, thoughts, and stories unspool in peaceful reflections by the water's edge. "Fishing the River of Time" is an elegant meditation on nature, life, and family, written with warmth and wisdom. It inspires self-reflection and an appreciation of the natural world and the fundamentals of our human experience. It is destined to become a classic work of simple living in the mold of Henry David Thoreau's "Walden."

This book was developed mainly from the selected presentations and contribu- tions made during the 3rd Biennual European Conference on Fish Processing in Grimsby, UK, 29th June-1st July 1999, which was sponsored by the Society of Chemical Industry, University of Lincoln, and North East Lincolnshire Council. The book is divided into three sections preceded by an introductory chapter providing an overview of seafood quality, technology and nutraceutical applica- tions. The first section (Chaps 2-10) describes a range of aspects of seafood quality from the impact of slaughter procedures, practical evaluation, texture, measuring fish content, protein functionality, histamine toxicity and flavour; the second section (Chaps 11-13) covers value-added waste products, automation in fish processing and water treatment; the final section (Chaps 14-16) dis- cusses food and health applications of marine nutraceuticals/functional foods. Contributing to this volume are researchers from different countries who are well recognised in their respective areas of expertise, providing a diverse and global perspective of the issue of seafood quality, technology and nutraceutical applications.

How Australians fund schooling has been a source of bitter political, social and religious division for almost two hundred years. And it remains so. The latest attempt to resolve the issue has been the Gonski Review, a 2012 report urging all jurisdictions to move towards consensus on a needs-based and socially just education system. The review almost immediately encountered forms of political obstruction that, in their class-based character, have their origins in the Menzies era. By examining the principles, the motives and the means of those who, since Menzies, have fought to develop and maintain a class-based education system at the expense of a broader view of social justice, this book explains how and why Australian education policy remains mired in political controversy.
