First published almost a century ago, Malay Poisons and Charm Cures remains a classic and still definitive reference on the pharmacopoeia and practices of Malay healers, shamans (bomoh) and sorcerers (pawing). Gimlette, a British physician, resided in the Malay State of Kelantan for over a decade, during which he gathered the data that comprises the core of this work. Intended as a medical reference for the Colonial Administration, Gimlette's observations were far more widely encompassing, shedding light not only on traditional pharmacology and toxicology, native theories of disease, medical practice, religious ritual and superstition, but also on Malay anthropology generally. With the present revival in interest in traditional medicine, herbal toxins and treatments, as well as in shamanic practice, Gimlette's work offers rich rewards for a new generation of readers.

Contributing Authors Include A. J. Liebling, F. J. Roethlisberger, William J. Dickson, And Many Others.

It is 1953 in the peaceful town of Barrow-in-Furness; but when two philandering Irish tank corporals - fresh from the Korean War - mistakenly pitch up at the local RAF camp, mayhem ensues! Mistaken for IRA activists by the delusional RAF Sergeant Wilfred 'Large White' Price, corporals Conlon McCall and Liam McShea soon plot an elaborate revenge... But their plan quickly spirals out of control, triggering off a chaotic melee of comedic misadventure involving the local newspaper's 'ace reporter' Cedric Montgomery Farquhar, a slurry-fixated local farmer, and the real, albeit equally bumbling, IRA... With its larger-than-life cast of hilarious characters, this gleefully puerile slapstick comedy is guaranteed to raise a chuckle.

The Christian rosary is a devotion in which a set of beads is used to keep tally of the prescribed prayers while pondering with Mary, the Mother of the Lord, on the significant events in the life of her son, Jesus Christ. The most popular of all Catholic devotions, rosaries are also well known in other religious traditions beginning in ancient times. A detailed and readable study of the Rosary in its various forms has long been needed. Devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary is at an all time high, judging by the popularity of parish Rosary groups, pilgrimages to Marian shrines and the many accounts of apparitions of Our Lady around the world. Dr. Miller's book aims to fill a real need for the many who wish to take their devotion and their prayer life to new depths, to understand the perennial importance of Christian meditation, and to understand more fully the tradition to which they belong.
