Carefully and sensitively researched, A Cruel Captivity describes the ordeals of, and lasting impact on, survivors of Japanese captivity. Differing in a number of respects from other moving POW accounts, this book covers the experiences of 22 servicemen from the Army, Royal Navy, RAF and volunteer forces who were held captive in numerous locations through South East Asia including Thailand, Burma, Hong Kong, the Spice Islands and Japan itself. Some had to endure the inhumane conditions during hazardous journeys on the 'hellships' and all suffered appalling cruelty, starvation, disease and prolonged degradation on an epic scale. Yet these were the fortunate ones-many thousands perished and their graves were unmarked. The book also examines the differing mental and physical effects that the prisoners' captors' cruel treatment had on them. The author's handling of the 'legacy' of their experiences during the post-war years makes this moving book particularly important. For a full understanding of this dreadful aspect of the Second World War, A Cruel Captivity is a must-read.

Babies bring 'becomings': women becoming mothers, men becoming fathers, couples becoming a family. "Becoming Us" is more than just a physical transformation; it's a psychological, emotional and spiritual one, too. In older cultures and in villages around the globe, parenthood was honored and supported as a rite of passage, yet guidelines for the transition have largely been lost in our "First" world, until now.

Becoming Us is about in-betweens. It's about the stages of personal and relationship growth that come after 'pregnancy' and before 'parenting.' It's about the relationship we have with our newly unfolding parent-self and the one between us and our lover as we grow from connected partners into connected parents. Becoming Us forms a bridge from expectation to reality, in between who we are and how we hope our family to be.

Whether you're welcoming your first baby or your fourth, this ground-breaking book weaves new research with age-old wisdom and the stories of hundreds of mothers and fathers to support all families - traditional or non-traditional, straight or gay, with biological children or adopted - through the eight steps of the modern parenthood rite of passage. Becoming Us provides the nutrient-rich soil for couples to prepare for and grow a family that thrives.

This is the story of Jason, my Indigo child... Alien abduction typically runs in families - and Ann Andrews came from a long line of abductees. Although it wasn't until her son's experiences accelerated that she began having dreams and was given back long hidden memories, which enabled her to accept and cope with what was going on with her youngest son Jason. What sets Jason apart from the many other young children who are now being born with exceptional multi-dimensional abilities is that Jason is not only an abductee, but is himself of extraterrestrial origin and he explains that "Technically we are all extraterrestrials, because there is no one amongst you who 'comes' from here." After years of uncertainty, Jason progressed from an initial standpoint of fear and terror to the point in his teens when he began accepting "their" teachings and to acknowledge who he is - one of many Indigo or Star Children here on Earth helping humanity to evolve to the next step. Jason says he came to our planet with two purposes: "I wanted to experience what it was like to be human, and as a human, i would be in a better position to help the rest of you when the time comes." Now that Jason has "awakened" to who he truly is, he welcomes their interaction and works with the ETs. He has developed into a powerful psychic with amazing healing abilities. Walking Between Worlds - Belonging to None raises the bar when it comes to alien abduction books. Like many, Walking offers a fascinating account of strange and unusual events; yet it also takes us into new realms of possibilities where humanity takes its place as Cosmic Citizens; realizing our divine destiny where the Earth becomes a station of light, a point of great radiance and vitality, beaming out into the Universe.
