A CLASSIC ABOUT CHILDREN AND NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCESNear-death experiences, or NDE, is a term used to describe a mystical experiences that happens to people who have been declared clinically dead, only to return to life. Extensive polls reveal an estimated seventeen percent of those who almost die have NDEs, which some say are glimpses into the next world. Morse's studies have proven the existence of NDEs. Science tells only half the story about life beyond death and the human soul. Children who have come very close to death, the children of Light, tell the rest. This is what they have told Dr. Morse: I have a wonderful secret to tell you. I have been climbing a staircase to heaven.""I just wanted to get to that Light. Forget my body, forget everything. I just wanted to get to that Light.""I was told that life is painful and that I had to go back anyway.""There were a lot of good things in that Light.""I heard a voice say, 'Go back, Bobby. You have a job to do.'""There as a beautiful Light that had everything good in it. For about a week, I could see sparkles of the Light in everything.""Before falling asleep at night, I could see that Light.""I learned that everything in lie is connected and that if you hurt something, you hurt everything.""I wasn't afraid to live again because I knew that someday I would be with that Light.""You'll see. Heaven is fun."Closer to the Light is a culmination of Dr. Morse's extensive research on children and the existence of the soul.

"...a lucid, sensible discussion of a mind-boggling subject."- Kirkus Reviews Raymond Moody, Jr., M.D. PhD, changed the way we perceive death and dying with his seminal books, Life After Life and The Light Beyond. In this reissued classic, he does it again, investigating past lives with the new science of regression hypnosis. His goal: To discover if we can indeed recall "past lives" and what such memories tell us about the possibility that death is not the end.A confirmed skeptic with regard to reincarnation, Dr. Moody first became interested in the phenomenon when he encountered psychologically healthy patients who, under deep hypnosis, suddenly began describing in vivid detail episodes from other historical periods they could not possibly have known. His interest in the meaning of these visions intensified when he decided to undertake his own journey into the baffling and exhilarating realm of "past life" experiences. He himself underwent a deep hypnotic trance that revealed nine former lives, two during the Roman Empire and one as a Chinese woman artist who was brutally murdered.Uncertain what to make of these seemingly genuine past life experiences, Dr. Moody began a comprehensive two-year researcher project into the subject. Coming Back is the fascinating result of his findings. The Authors Raymond Moody, Jr., M.D., Ph.D., is a psychiatrist and noted author whose work Life After Life, created the field of near-death studies and gave name to that well-known phenomenon, the near-death experience.

The Garden is not thriving. In fact, it is withering away. Once a little orchid haven, now after the worst hurricane ever seen in Florida, it is wrecked greenhouses, creeping mangroves and dangerously idle men. So when Romeo, an expert breeder of the lucrative ghost orchid, arrives from Honduras, keeper of the Garden, Blanchard, and his Irish right-hand man, Swallow, believe the winds of fortune are blowing their way.But Romeo is not who he seems, and Swallow can't shake the feeling that the newcomer will threaten his position in the Garden's flimsy hierarchy. And the ghost orchid is rare, a delicate and endangered species, hidden deep in a sweltering and treacherous cypress swamp, the Fakahatchee Strand. To capture it, Blanchard and Swallow must strike a deal with the leader of the local Seminole tribe, and his dangerously unpredictable nephew, Logan. The tribe are the only ones exempt from the laws protecting the endangered species of the glades, but Logan’s wounded pride, and the looming threat of violence, may just uproot any hope of success. As Blanchard's obsession distracts him from what is truly precious, Swallow's own long-buried traumas test his ability – and desire – to prevent the lust, betrayal and murder that engulf the Garden.Under a scorching sun, Paul Perry's debut solo novel is a tale of smothering power, with loyalty and agency thwarted by the tragic patterns of memory and behaviour. Told in spare, exact prose, The Garden is a modern fable, and a warning about trespassing against nature in the name of profit."[An] urgent, eloquent rebuke to our pillaging of nature." The Irish Times"Paul Perry’s ambitious and atmospheric first solo novel is fascinating and disturbing in equal measure." The Independent, Ireland

The sixties, seventies and eighties were decades of great change. Many towns and cities were redeveloped with projects that dramatically affected the character of the place. People's shopping habits were altered as supermarkets took over from traditional stores and corner shops. Leisure habits were changing too, as cheap air travel led to the arrival of the foreign package holiday and a new range of leisure facilities were developed at home. Fashions, as ever, were changing in this period, reflecting radical changes in society and the ways in which we viewed ourselves. Transport also evolved, with a move away from the railway and buses, creating a strain on the roads, which led to new road schemes. These changes in people's habits and lifestyles were keenly felt in Jarrow, in the north-east of England, as the town's traditional industries, particularly based around its shipyards, declined. The last shipyard closed in 1983 and much of the old dock area has been reclaimed for new industries but local author Paul Perry recaptures it all in this fascinating portrayal of the town and its people over the course of these most nostalgic decades.
