The experiences of a present day tantric combined with the experiences of her Guru and mentor, this book provides the reader with an insight into the world of Tantra and its application in the contemporary wold. What is Tantra? How may it effect changes in our everyday life? Can anyone practice this art? Whilst telling her story Claire Marie Bailey explains very lucidly how the practice of tantra has brought many positive changes into her life. An inspiring story that whets the appetite of those interested in the subject to delve further into the mystic seerets of tantra.

In this earliest known day-by-day journal of a cattle drive from Texas to Kansas, Jack Bailey, a North Texas farmer, describes what it was like to live and work as a cowboy in the southern plains just after the Civil War. We follow Bailey as the drive moves northward into Kansas and then as his party returns to Texas through eastern Kansas, southwestern Missouri, northwestern Arkansas, and Indian Territory.

For readers steeped in romantic cowboy legend, the journal contains surprises. Bailey's time on the trail was hardly lonely. We travel with him as he encounters Indians, U.S. soldiers, Mexicans, freed slaves, and cowboys working other drives. He and other crew members--including women--battle hunger, thirst, illness, discomfort, and pain. Cowboys quarrel and play practical jokes on each other and, at night, sing songs around the campfire.

David Dary's thorough introduction and footnotes place the journal in historical context.

After a brief description of the early history of the Co-operative movement, the author turns to the Rochdale Pioneers and the foundations they lay for a co-operative community of a non-Owenite type.
