This is a fictional story about the lives of three generations of a family who are among the survivors of Earth's sixth mass extinction. Whilst the story is fictional, the possibility of extinction is very real.The story is a reflection on today's socio-economic standards and the injustices that exist for millions of people, and the reasons why world leaders are reluctant to go beyond their green rhetoric, and hesitate in taking the steps to halt our path towards Oblivion.

A coming of age, autobiographical tale of a man child in the South Bronx

How do you relate to your body? Uneasily? Awkwardly? If so, this could be the book for you. But it's not aimed at changing your body, it's aimed at changing the way you experience your body and, as a result, the way you think of it and even how you see it in the mirror! To achieve this, RE-IMAGINING YOUR BODY offers you a progressive course of exercises - not the strenuous 'workout' kind but playful exercises, aimed at realizing and releasing your full psychophysical potential. These playful exercises all ask you to engage a 'spiritual muscle' (usually called your imagination) as a means to bring you much more closely and deeply in touch with the rich reality of your embodied self. Not only that, but you can do all of them on your own. All you'll need is a little empty space!The exercises in RE-IMAGINING YOUR BODY have been derived from work in the performing arts. But the book is not aimed at performers, though performers will certainly benefit from it. It's aimed at all those who are prepared to explore, to experiment, to think outside the box, to entertain unconventional thoughts - above all it's for anyone who wishes to discover their true psychophysical nature. After all, Western culture alienates all of us from our bodies in deep and often barely noticed ways. As a result, most of us fail to live fully inside our bodies, struggling to 'live with' them instead. But if we could become more in tune with the huge potential of our 'subject-bodies, ' maybe we would become more in tune with our fellow human beings as well - and with the planet that nurtures us

A middle-aged man leaves his wife for a younger woman... or is it to 'find out who he really is'? You've heard it all before, of course - but not like this! REDEFINING VICTORY takes a banal situation and transforms it into something harshly comic, strangely surreal and disconcertingly archetypal. How? By making the characters talk and think entirely in clichés - rather like robots in some future experiment in AI. But the setting is now, and everything in the novel is so familiar - the characters, the situations, the words used - that it becomes paradoxically alien, weird and even, at times, a little grotesque. Both as an entertaining satire on 'middle England' and as a tragicomic vision of the emotional, intellectual and spiritual bankruptcy of people whose language does their thinking - and their feeling - for them, REDEFINING VICTORY will make you ask: Do we all (sometimes) mistake the right phrase for the raw truth?And it's a must for anyone who loves the English language, revealing its world-beating richness in clichés, platitudes, euphemisms and hackneyed phrases. You'll be amazed at how many expressions there are that we really ought to avoid!

Symbolism is the most powerful and ancient means of communication available to humankind. The meaning of symbols has long been debated among philosophers, antiquarians, theologians, and, more recently, anthropologists and psychologists.
