1.The Art of War by: Sun Tzu, Sun Zi May 01, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £3.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £2.85 You Save: £0.15 ( 5%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £3.56
I was expecting a huge tome full of Confuscian statements which are allegorical to warfare. What I received was a 69-page book of short instructions which are dirrectly about warfare, but in many cases allegorical to life. Possibly they're all in some way applicable to the day-to-day, the fighting with fire section does seem a bit specialised, but doubtless the scales will fall from my eyes at some stage and I will be able to use its teachings in buying tangerines from waitrose. The best thing about the book is the ability to spice up conversation. Never again will I use a hackneyed marketing phrase where something from Sun Tzu will work. Brilliant.

2.Join Me: The True Story of a Man Who Started a Cult by Accident by: Danny Wallace June 03, 2004

Danny Wallace, until recently he was more famous as Dave Gorman's sidekick - but now he is a regular face on TV. This book is in the same sort of genre as "Are You Dave Gorman" which Danny co-authored and tells the true story of how Danny Wallace starts a cult by asking people to join him.... ...And people do! They have no reservations and hand over their faith to join a man in an unknown crusade. After having people join him, Danny decides what to do as the leader of a cult and comes up with the ultimate in humanistic altruism - they will all do a good deed per day for someone. This is a very entertaining book which shows how a decent man can do good deeds and encourage others to do so to ensure the world ... Read More:

3.Portable Atheist: Essential Readings for the Non-Believer: Essential Readings for the Non-believer by: Christopher Hitchens November 15, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £10.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £8.49 You Save: £2.50 (23%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £5.80
This book is perhaps slightly undersold by it's title, it's a pretty solid tome, still portable I suppose but it must be a good 2 or 3 inches thick. The second part of the title is also a little misleading, the majority of the authors are indeed atheists, but not limited to the more militant kind one might expect Hitchens to choose. There's a broad spectrum of Humanist, Secularist and Rationalist writing spanning from Lucretius and Spinoza to Ibn Warraq and Sam Harris. The book progresses through these in a roughly chronological order charting the way human thought on the divine (or lack thereof) has changed and progressed. The readings are well chosen and Hitchens provides a little introduction and context to each section (if I had ... Read More:

4.The Divine Matrix: Bridging Time, Space, Miracles, and Belief by: Gregg Braden March 08, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £9.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £6.99 You Save: £3.00 (30%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £4.99
This is another of those books that needs to be read from beginning to end... diving in and looking at the "interesting bits" (using the index) will not do the book justice. There is much in this world that we do not understand... and probably never will... but we are getting there. Books such as "The Divine Matrix" and "Secrets of the Lost Mode of Prayer" lead us to understand that we are all connected (irrespective of religious or cultural background)... and that we have much to learn from each other.

5.Daily Guidance from Your Angels: Oracle Cards by: Doreen Virtue September 28, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £11.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £7.79 You Save: £4.20 (35%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £5.34
These are my first Doreen Virtue purchase. I needed something to help me SLOW the pace of life and take stock of things. I got these cards a week ago and I have found them to be really precise and accurate. The first time I used them I asked for help with a situation and the card I chose was totally relevant and I kept it with me all day and I followed the advice. I think they have helped me and now I use them before I go to work and It is something I look forward to. I like to look at the illustrations which are are beautiful. Plus the cards are a lovely size. All in all I am very happy with my purchase.

6.Autobiography of a Yogi by: Paramahansa Yogananda May 01, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £5.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £5.69 You Save: £0.30 ( 5%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £0.33
This is a wondeful book. Having just started down the route of self-relisation with my own Guru he recommended this book to me. This book has helped bring God closer to my life. It is something I will read again and again. I am certainly not of an age where God has become important to me because of "that time of life". This book has opened my eyes and given me the strength to go forward with what my heart (and I now realise God) want me to do with my life. Yogananda stands beside you whilst you read it. I cannot recommend it enough.

7.The Revenge of Gaia: Why the Earth Is Fighting Back - and How We Can Still Save Humanity by: James Lovelock February 22, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £8.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £5.99 You Save: £3.00 (33%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £3.42
We should salute the (now) 89 -year-old author, James Ephraim Lovelock (Ephraim is Hebrew for fruitful): an independent, dissenting voice in science. Rebelling against reductionist philosophies, he took an inclusive, systems view of the planet, publishing his Gaia Hypothesis in 1970. It took over 30 years for the international scientific community to come round. Having studied chemistry at Manchester U and received his PhD in medicine at London U, Lovelock was engaged in the 1960s by NASA to find ways to detect life on Mars. He realized that life would influence the atmosphere and designed an instrument to detect trace gases. Thinking about the reason why Mars is so barren and Earth so fruitful, he arrived at his Hypothesis. In ... Read More:

8.The Book of Five Rings: A Classic Text on the Japanese Way of the Sword by: Miyamoto Musashi March 03, 2005
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £5.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £3.99 You Save: £2.00 (33%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £2.06
This book actually has two translations by Thomas Cleary of two books from Japanese martial artists. My thoughts on both and a short comparison are below. The Book of Five Rings is a pretty good insight into a disciplined mind and professional samurai from 17th century Japan. A lot of it is practical advice and there is some spiritual Zen leaning in there too but I would not go as far to say it is required leadership reading material in the same way as The Art of War by Sun Tzu but no martial artist should be without this book. The second translation in the book is The Book of Family Traditions on the Art of War by Yahyu Munenori is far more flowery and makes more sense if you have an understanding of buddhism otherwise the section on existance ...

9.We Are Their Heaven: Why the Dead Never Leave Us by: Allison DuBois July 02, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £7.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.79 You Save: £3.20 (40%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £2.90
I bought this for my wife, we are both interested in this kind of thing but my wife has read book after book about afterlife and angels etc since our daughter died 2 years ago. she couldn't put Allison's book down, she cried reading the parts about children, (obviously) but the way Allison writes in a very gentle and calming way, it put my wife's mind at a bit more ease that Caitlin is still around us, she even began to feel her presance when she knew what signs to look for after reading this fantastic volume. I've since bought her all of Allison's books.

10.The Dawkins Letters: Challenging Atheist Myths by: David Robertson March 20, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £4.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.74 You Save: £0.25 ( 5%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £1.07
Really enjoyed the book. It was gracious, self deprecating at times, well researched and, well, real fun to read! Thankyou David Robertson as very few books cause me to devour the words as quickly as did yours. Did it need to be as thick as TGD? Nah! Does it cause one to think, both believer and atheist alike, yep! But hey that's my opinion!
