Explores Rupert Sheldrake's more than 25 years of research into telepathy, staring and intention, precognition, and animal premonitions • Shows that unexplained human abilities--such as the sense of being stared at and phone telepathy--are not paranormal but normal, part of our biological nature • Draws on more than 5,000 case histories, 4,000 questionnaire responses, and the results of experiments carried out with more than 20,000 people • Reveals that our minds and intentions extend beyond our brains into the world around us and even into the future Nearly everyone has experienced the feeling of being watched or had their stare result in a glance in their direction. The phenomenon has been cited throughout history in nearly every culture, along with other commonplace "paranormal" occurrences such as premonitions and telepathy. In this newly updated edition, Sheldrake shares his more than 25 years of research into telepathy, the power of staring, remote viewing, precognition, and animal premonitions. Drawing on more than 5,000 case histories, 4,000 questionnaire responses, and the results of experiments on staring, thought transference, phone telepathy, and other phenomena carried out with more than 20,000 people as well as reports and data from dozens of independent research teams, Sheldrake shows that these unexplained human abilities--such as the sense of being stared at--are not paranormal but normal, part of our biological nature. He reveals that telepathy depends on social bonds and traces its evolution from the connections between members of animal groups such as flocks, schools, and packs. Sheldrake shows that our minds and intentions extend beyond our brains into our surroundings with invisible connections that link us to each other, to the world around us, and even to the future.

HEALTH / WELLNESS Radical Medicine radical: 'ra-di-k l (Latin: radix), going to the root or origin; pertaining to what is fundamental, far-reaching, and thorough With the historic use of toxic mercury amalgam fillings, excessive courses of antibiotics, damaging childhood vaccines, and the many industrial pollutants and chemicals that have been spread into our air, water, and food over the past century, general holistic health guidelines are simply no longer adequate for most people. Only through radical measures--that is, getting to the true root or underlying cause of disease--can effective healing occur. In Radical Medicine, naturopathic physician Louisa Williams describes how to treat these and other modern-day "obstacles to cure" in order to ensure against future degenerative disease and achieve the optimal health that is our birthright. Examining the many health problems triggered by dental amalgams and poor dentistry, Dr. Williams explains that our teeth are focal points for health issues that arise elsewhere in the body. She explores the impact of vaccinations, the excessive use of antibiotics, and the chemical-laden products used as health and beauty aids--which are linked to Alzheimer's disease, heart attacks, and breast and other cancers. She then provides information on cuttingedge treatments as well as drainage and nutritional therapies. Radical Medicine is a practical guide for practitioners as well as those who have suffered with chronic illnesses that allopathic medicine has been unable to identify or help treat. It is also extremely valuable for those who must make responsible and informed decisions about health options for their children and other family members. Radical Medicine offers a wealth of holistic, natural therapies for treating what is poisoning us as well as our world. LOUISA L WILLIAMS, M.S., D.C., N.D., received her doctoral training in naturopathic medicine from Bastyr University. She also holds a master's degree in psychology and a doctorate degree in chiropractic. In 1984 she founded the Seattle Health Clinic, which specializes in environmental medicine and detoxification. Dr. Williams currently practices at the Marin Naturopathic Medicine clinic in San Rafael, California, and teaches the principles of radical medicine as well as her energetic testing method (MRT) in the United States and abroad.

NUEVA CIENCIA / ECOLOGIA "De los libros verdaderamente magnificos que se publican en la actualidad, Las ensenanzas secretas de las plantas es por un amplio margen el mas gratificante que he tenido el privilegio de leer." --Joseph Chilton Pearce, autor de The Biology of Transcendence [La biologia de la trascendencia] "Una lectura obligatoria para herbolarios, sanadores, jardineros y horticultores, amantes de la naturaleza y cualquiera que alguna vez se haya sentido conmovido por los milagros cotidianos de la vida." --Susun S. Weed, autora de Healing Wise [Sabiduria de la sanacion] La humanidad no puede sobrevivir sin las propiedades nutricionales y medicinales de las plantas. Se ha calculado que el numero de especies vegetales que hay en nuestro planeta oscila alrededor de 400.000, y muchas de estas especies son aun desconocidas para la humanidad. Si bien los botanistas occidentales solo han identificado y clasificado una pequena fraccion de ese total, se puede afirmar con seguridad que muchas de las plantas desconocidas en Occidente son conocidas para los pueblos aborigenes que viven en los entornos naturales de esas plantas. Todos los pueblos antiguos y aborigenes afirman que sus conocimientos sobre remedios botanicos provienen de las propias plantas y no de la experimentacion a traves de pruebas y errores. Un dato menos conocido es que estas ensenanzas sobre las plantas constituyen la base de muchos de los descubrimientos modernos tanto en la medicina como en la alimentacion de origen vegetal. En todas partes del mundo existe la tradicion de la percepcion directa de la naturaleza a traves de la "inteligencia del corazon." Los descubrimientos recientes de la neurociencia han demostrado que mas del 50 por ciento del corazon esta compuesto por celulas neurales. En realidad, el corazon es un cerebro por derecho propio. La percepcion centrada en el corazon puede ser excepcionalmente precisa y detallada en lo que respecta a su potencial de recopilacion de informacion, como afirman los pueblos antiguos y aborigenes. Stephen Harrod Buhner explora minuciosamente esta modalidad de percepcion centrada en el corazon. Incluye informacion de vanguardia sobre los mecanismos fisicos de la cognicion basada en el corazon y explora las obras de muchos autores extraordinarios que percibieron el mundo con el corazon, como Henry David Thoreau; Luther Burbank, quien cultivo la mayoria de las plantas alimenticias que ahora consumimos sin pensar en su procedencia; George Washington Carver; Masanobu Fukuoka, autor de The One Straw Revolution [La revolucion de una brizna de paja], y el gran poeta y cientifico aleman Goethe, que estudio la metamorfosis de las plantas. Buhner nos muestra como estos grandes pensadores adquirieron una percepcion directa de la naturaleza mediante el uso de las capacidades cognitivas del corazon. El autor proporciona el conocimiento y las tecnicas necesarios para desarrollar la percepcion basada en el corazon, que es nuestro derecho de nacimiento. Nos ensena a ir descubriendo directamente de las propias plantas los usos medicinales de cada una de ellas y a comprender el proceso de creacion de alma que se engendra mediante esa profunda conexion con el mundo. STEPHEN HARROD BUHNER es Poeta de la Tierra e investigador titular de la Fundacion de Estudios de Gaia. Imparte charlas por todos los Estados Unidos sobre medicina botanica, el caracter sagrado de las plantas y la inteligencia de la naturaleza. Ha escrito nueve obras de no ficcion y un libro de poesia, entre las que se incluyen la galardonada obra The Lost Language of Plants [El lenguaje perdido de las plantas] y Medicina con plantas sagradas. Vive en Braintree, Vermont.

NEW SCIENCE / BIOLOGY "Bold, clear, and incisive, Sheldrake's thesis constitutes a sweeping challenge to the very fundamentals of established science. It may outrage or delight, but it will never fail to stimulate. Sheldrake has a remarkable ability to identify the weak spots of scientific orthodoxy." --Paul Davies, physicist, cosmologist, and author of The Mind of God and The Goldilocks Enigma "So compelling that it sets the reader to underlining words and scribbling notes in the margin." --Washington Post In this fully revised and updated edition of The Presence of the Past, Cambridge biologist Rupert Sheldrake lays out new evidence and research in support of his controversial theory of morphic resonance and explores its far-reaching implications in the fields of biology, chemistry, physics, psychology, and sociology. His theory proposes that all self-organizing systems, from crystals to human society, inherit a collective memory that influences their form and behavior. This collective memory works through morphic fields, which organize the bodies of plants and animals, coordinate the activities of brains, and underlie conscious mental activity. Sheldrake shows how all human beings draw upon and contribute to a collective human memory and that even our individual recollections depend on morphic resonance rather than physical storage in the brain. He explores the major role that morphic resonance plays not just in animal instincts and cultural inheritance, such as religion and ritual, but also in the larger process of evolution, which Sheldrake shows to be more an interplay of habit and creativity than a mere "survival of the fittest." Offering a replacement for the outdated, mechanistic worldview that has dominated biology since the nineteenth century, Sheldrake's new understanding of life, matter, and mind shows that rather than being ruled by fixed laws, nature is essentially habitual. And because memory is inherent in nature, he explains, in order to survive successfully for generations to come, we will have to give up our old habits of thought and adopt new ones: habits that are better adapted to life in a world living in the presence of the past--as well as the presence of the future. RUPERT SHELDRAKE, Ph.D., is a former research fellow of the Royal Society and former director of studies in biochemistry and cell biology at Clare College, Cambridge University. He is the author of more than 80 technical papers and articles appearing in peer-reviewed scientific journals and 10 books, including Dogs That Know When Their Owners Are Coming Home, Morphic Resonance, and The Rebirth of Nature. He lives in London.

RELIGION / HINDUISM "With spellbinding luminosity, master storyteller Vanamali propels the reader into transcendental realms of inspiring valor and sublime devotion. With illuminating authenticity, Vanamali, again and again, showers us with the ambrosia of Sri Hanuman's devotion to Lord Rama." --Arvind Bruce Burger, author of Esoteric Anatomy: The Body as Consciousness Best known for his role in the Ramayana, Hanuman's playful nature, amazing physical powers, and selfless devotion to Lord Rama have made him one of the most beloved gods in the Hindu pantheon. As a monkey, he symbolizes the ever-restless human mind. He teaches us that, though everyone is born an animal, anyone can attain the heights of spiritual evolution through perseverance and ardent discipline. Having perfected his mind through bhakti (selfless devotion) to obtain his powers, Hanuman embodies the highest potential we can achieve. In this book Vanamali recounts 36 legendary Hanuman stories--from his birth to his adventures in the Ramayana--and reveals the spiritual lessons, yogic practices, and Vedic astrology aspects they contain. Vanamali shows how Hanuman has the ability to bestow selfless devotion and strength to his devotees and that following his example is the surest path to attracting the blessing of Rama. MATAJI DEVI VANAMALI has written seven books on the gods of the Hindu pantheon, including Shakti, The Play of God, and The Song of Rama, as well as translating the Bhagavad Gita. She is the founder and president of Vanamali Gita Yoga Ashram Trust, dedicated to sharing the wisdom of Sanatana Dharma and charitable service to children. She lives at the Vanamali ashram in Rishikesh, in northern India.

SHAMANISM / INDIGENOUS CULTURES "Pinkson is one of those rare individuals who walks his talk, whose life is built on helping others, loving and forgiving, and a determination to trust and listen to the inner voice within him." --Gerald G. Jampolsky, M.D., author of Love Is Letting Go of Fear "The Shamanic Wisdom of the Huichol is a good read and a powerful memoir. Pinkson's many adventures serve as a catalyst to get on with one's own spiritual awakenings." --Stephen Kiesling, editor in chief, Spirituality & Health Never conquered by Europeans, the Huichol--known for their use of peyote in spiritual ceremonies--have thoroughly retained their ancient way of life. Growing from a deeply rooted respect and reverence for the natural world, the Huichol's shamanic spiritual practices focus on living life in harmony with all living things and offer a path to a truly sustainable future. The Shamanic Wisdom of the Huichol is the autobiographical account of Pinkson's decade-long immersion in the shamanic traditions of the Huichol tribes of the Sierra Madre in Mexico. From his first Huichol pilgrimage to Wiricuta (their sacred homeland) in 1981 to searching the desert for the heart medicine of peyote, Pinkson's account of his initiation into the medicine teachings of the Huichol brings new life to this ancient eco-centric tradition. Providing a guiding light for those who seek to become part of the solution to our planet's ecological challenges, Pinkson empowers readers to choose their own path toward healing both on a personal and a planetary level. TOM SOLOWAY PINKSON, Ph.D., is a psychologist, ceremonial retreat and vision-fast leader, sacred storyteller, and shaman. For 32 years he worked with terminally ill children at the Center for Attitudinal Healing in California, successfully integrating the wisdom teachings of the Huichol and other medicine teachers into the world of the practicing psychologist. His most recent work includes training in the Hardiness Factor (training for emotional resilience) and A New Vision of Aging (working consciously with the challenges and opportunities of the elder years). The founder of Wakan, a nonprofit organization committed to restoring the sacred in daily life, he lives in northern California.
