Most people in the West know very little about the prophet Muhammad. The acclaimed religious writer Karen Armstrong has written a biography which will give us a more accurate and profound understanding of Islam and the people who adhere to it so strongly. Muhammad also offers challenging comparisons with the two religions most closely related to it - Judaism and Christianity. Armstrong has a dazzling ability: she can take a long and complex subject and reduce it to its fundamentals, without over-simplifying. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 500 grams.

Atlas of the Supernatural brings together some of the best-authenticated accounts of strange happenings and strange powers, tales to chill the spine and stretch the imagination. Profusely illustrated with maps, artwork and photographs, it is a book that offers entrance to a world beyond the normal. Derek and Julia Parker, authors of the international bestseller Dreaming, and of The Future Now, discuss the history of the supernatural, examine phenomena from such generally accepted (if unexplained) skills as dowsing to out-of-body experiences, channelling, poltergeists, ghosts and witchcraft, and, finally, look closely at the supernatural around the world: vampirism in Transylvania, voodoo in Haiti, dragon paths in China, pointingthe-bone in Australia. Their attitude is curious, cautious, and above all open-minded. If there. is a rational explanation, they give it - but, equally, if none can be found, they say so. The supernatural cannot be ignored. Men and women with their feet firmly on the ground may find rational explanations for dozens of strange events - but there will always be one that defies explanation, one that seems to compel us to accept, with Hamlet, that "there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamed of in your philosophy, Horatio." There is, quite simply, so much evidence of forces beyond those understood and accepted by scientists that to remain totally sceptical would be in itself irrational. Clearly, some so-called "supernatural" events are fake, mere conjuring. Some are not, on closer examination, supernatural at all. But many are beyond legerdemain, beyond scientific theory, beyond the natural. ., BCA, 1990, 2.75, New York. 1975. Harcourt Brace Jovanovich. 1st American Edition.

Ayla and Jondalar have reached home: the Ninth Cave of the Zelandonii, the old stone age settlement in the region known today as south-west France. Ayla has much to learn from the Zelandonii as well as much to teach them. Jondalar's family are initially wary of the beautiful young woman he has brought back, with her strange accent and her tame wolf and horses. She is delighted when she meets Zelandoni, the spiritual leader of her people, a fellow healer with whom she can share her medicinal skills. After the rigours and dangers that have characterised her extraordinary life, Ayla yearns for peace and tranquillity; to be Jondalar's mate and to have children. But her unique spiritual gifts cannot be ignored, and even as she gives birth to their eagerly-awaited child, she is coming to accept that she has a greater role to play in the destiny of the Zelandonii.

Slipping away from us in these times of the homogenization of culture are the traditions of older societies, some of them dating from 9000 B.C., who understood and were in tune with the changing vistas of the North American continent. Practical, yet with an eye for beauty, these peoples clothed themselves in a vast array of styles that will be forgotten unless preserved. The Encyclopedia of American Indian Costume offers complete descriptions and cultural contexts of the dress and ornamentation of the many nations that have shared this continent. The book is divided into ten cultural regions, with each chapter giving an overview of the regional clothing. Tribal information includes men's and women's basic dress, footwear, outerwear, hair styles, headgear, accessories, jewelry, armor, special costumes, garment decoration, face and body embellishment, and transitional dress after European contact. This beautifully designed book contains more than 150 photographs and illustrations., W. W. Norton & Company, 1996, 2.5<
