The New Book of the Dead is written specifically for Westerners. It is a detailed guide for dealing with death and bereavement in all its forms: natural and violent, children and old people. It describes rites of preparation - such as the ritual cutting of the silver cord, and the blessing and license to depart, saying goodbye and letting go of the physical realm. This is not a book of sorrow and foreboding, but teaches us how to accept and even welcome death, as a great teacher, the last great mystery and culminating experience of life.
Pathworking is a term given to a specific kind of guided visualization exercise in which the mind is projected into a series of situations and landscapes that can be viewed on a mental screen. Tracing them from the earliest cave paintings, through the Egyptian Book of the Dead, the Bardic tradition and the story-tellers of Ireland, Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki shows pathworkings to be a part of a much greater structure in the make-up of man, pertaining to his hopes and dreams and his ability to make those dreams come true. Used with purpose and by trained minds, the pathworking becomes a series of controlled thought patterns - and thought is the basis of creation.

It's hard to imagine life without television. It's even harder to remember that the television programming we take for granted was in its infancy a mere fifty years ago. No colour. No videotapes. Just black and white live programs, the work of a small handful of imaginative producers, directors, editors and actors who created shows by adapting radio and stage techniques. Dancing On Air tells the story of one of these pioneers, a Canadian, Horatio "Rai" Purdy who came to television via a stage and radio career. Written by Rai Purdy's widow, this is the third of her memoirs. "I only hope I can write half as well as you when I am in my 80s. Well done and congratulations!" Paul Wild, Comox Valley Record. "The book is a fascinating story of an artist on the cutting edge of television ... and the woman who supported him." Jan DeGrass, Coast Reporter.
