Alchymist
£8.89
The Node has failed, rendering humanity's battle clankers & the Aachim's constructs useless. With the battle lost, hordes of alien Lyrinx are swarming from the tar pits of Snizort, intending to fall upon the survivors & destroy them to the last man. Tiaan, crippled & unable to walk, is held prisoner by the vengeful Vithis, who is determined to extract her geomantic secrets at any cost. For his failings, Nish has been cast out & branded a traitor, while Irisis, accused of high treason, is forced to flee for her life. The fate of humanity is dependent on the survival of one wily old man, the Scrutator Xervish Flydd. But Flydd has been blamed for the defeat at Snizort & is condemned to die a brutish death as a slave
- hauling ironclad clankers out of the battlefield mire until his heart bursts under the strain.

Alcibiades And The
Socratic Lover-educator
- Harold Tarrant -
Philosophy
£40.00
In the Platonic work Alcibiades I, a divinely guided Socrates adopts the guise of a lover in order to divert Alcibiades from an unthinking political career. The contributors to this carefully focussed volume cover aspects of the background to the work; its arguments & the philosophical issues it raises; its relationship to other Platonic texts, & its subsequent history up to the time of the Neoplatonists. Despite its ancient prominence, the authorship of Alcibiades I is still unsettled; the essays & two appendices, one historical & one stylometric, come together to suggest answers to this tantalising question. ...

Alcohol & the Addictive Brain is an account of the scientific discoveries concerning alcoholism. ...

Sigman - Pregnancy &
Parenting
£7.19
We are a nation that loves to drink. & we're passing the habit on to our children. But a growing body of compelling new evidence about the dangers of alcohol consumption at a young age will force us to reconsider the entire way we view alcohol & young people.

Most importantly he addresses drinking not just as a teenage problem but as an integral part of our history & culture. It will lead us to understand how the way we view alcohol impacts directly upon our children's present & future health, wellbeing & academic success, & it will answer the question, 'how can I reconcile my enjoyment of drinking with ensuring my child grows up knowing how to drink sensibly?'. ...

Alcoholism Recovery

Mindfulness lends itself particularly well to recovery, partly because it is a potent tool for self-management, but principally because it can be approached both as a secular or spiritual practice. The Twelve-Step approach of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) is unquestionably spiritual, with its emphasis on a Higher Power, and has been hugely successful. Some consider spiritual transformation essential for lasting sobriety. Not everyone, however, wants to pursue this path. The mindfulness practices can then be used in their own right, in a more secular context, and still be beneficial. My stance will, however, be mainly transpersonal. As Christina Grof, author of The Thirst for Wholeness: Attachment, Addiction and the Spiritual Path, says: 'The success of
Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and the many Twelve-Step fellowships that have modelled themselves after its program attests to the power and importance of the spiritual dimension in the understanding and treatment of addiction.'
