Fifty years ago this year, London Transport embarked on a large
experiment - the London bus reshaping plan. Under it, large
capacity one-man operated buses were introduced on suburban bus
routes for the first time and many routes were altered and
shortened. It was to lead to the worst period in the history of
London bus services. This book covers this period with details of
the policy, the implementation, the reactions and the consequences.
The route alterations are also detailed and the book is illustrated
with around 200 photographs and maps.

We've all gathered around the dinner table with family and friends
and shared our Murphy's Law stories, when what could go wrong did
at the worst possible time. In short time our daily routines
returned to normal, and recounting those stories made for fun
dinner conversation.
But what do we do-and this is truer today during the global
economic crisis-when Murphy's Law becomes the new routine? When
months, even years later, the break you prayed for never came? Like
quicksand, the harder you tried to free yourself from dark corners,
closed doors and missed opportunities, the more stuck you became.
In time you donned the scarlet letter V on your brow. After all,
you'd earned the right. Only then you were more bound in the mire
than ever.
There is a way out.
Breaking free is my story.
It was the Celtic bards who laid down the foundation of inner
wisdom that has come down to us as Arthurian legend, passing their
traditions to the Arthurian romancers of the 12th and 13th
centuries. Thus the Celts provide an immediate bridge that leads to
a very ancient world. Focusing on the Brythonic Celtic material and
the "Taliesin" cult whose lineage preserved the mysteries through
the Mabinogion and other texts, Awen: the Quest of the Celtic
Mysteries reveals the sources of the British sacred tradition right
back to the Neolithic and Bronze Ages, and, as some believe,
further back still to even more ancient sources. Awen is a Welsh
word often translated as "inspiration". However, in its fullness it
has a much deeper meaning, an irradiation of the soul from
paradisal origins. In the context of the Celtic folk-soul it casts
the paradisal pattern by which the people and the land were
harmonised. Through the aligned symbolism of the goddess, the
sacred king and the stars, a compelling picture is built of a
thriving mystery tradition which marries the constellations to the
landscape, exploring as an example the interwoven five-fold and
seven-fold stellar geometry of Moel ty Uchaf stone circle in North
Wales, and the stellar alignments on the landscape of Cadair Idris.
Expedition Leader Mike Harris is an accomplished writer, explorer
and film producer who has led a number of major expeditions
throughout the world, including the first expeditions to search for
the Titanic in the North Atlantic. On Mike's first expedition in
1971 he led a group of professional divers and film makers to
Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands where they dove on American,
German and Japanese warships that were sunk by atom bomb testing
after WWII. Mike produced a film of his first adventure called
"Deadly Fathoms" which featured Rod Serling and won a Silver Medal
at the Atlanta International Film Festival. On Mike's second
expedition he led a group of mountain climbers and Biblical
Scholars up the slopes of Mt. Ararat in Turkey to search for Noah's
Ark. His film "Expedition to Noah's Ark" featured acclaimed actor
Joseph Cotten as his on-camera host and narrator. Mike's third
adventure film took him to the mountains of Old Mexico where he
searched for buried treasure. His film "Pancho Villa's Treasure"
featured film and television star Cesar Romero as his on-camera
host and narrator. In 1980 Mike then led the first expedition to
search for the Titanic in the North Atlantic. His film "Search for
the Titanic" featured legendary actor Orson Wells as his on-camera
host and narrator. Mr. Wells said it was an honor for him to work
on such an important film. Mike's second Titanic film in 1981
featured James 'The Virginian' Drury, who actually joined Mike at
sea during his second Titanic adventure. Mike has also filmed
eye-witnesses in the Marshall Islands and on Saipan who claim the
famed aviatrix Amelia Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan didn't
just crash into the ocean and disappear as history tells us They
told Mike on camera that Amelia and Fred actually crashed their
Lockheed Electra off Mili Atoll in the Marshall Islands, were
captured by the Japanese, then taken to Saipan in the Marianna
Islands where they were put into prison and eventually killed.
Mike's many projects have taken him from Guyana to the Arctic
Circle, Greenland to Israel and have included multiple studies of
the Chinese Admiral Zheng He and the incredible fleet of Ming
Treasure Ships he commanded on seven expeditions sixty years before
Columbus discovered America. Harris is a member of The Explorers
Club of New York, a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society in
London and has been listed in Who's Who in American since 2000.

Many Christian teachers dismiss the field of psychology, and
self-discovery, similarly, is often discounted. But this author
begs to differ. For inasmuch as we were created in God's image, to
learn more about self is to learn more about the Father we were
fashioned after, and vice versa. After all, we look a lot alike.
ALL truth is compatible with Scripture because God is the author
of it all, and that includes many of the theories of psychology.
True, psychology typically leaves out the main character of the
biblical story, but that's not to say we still can't learn from
this discipline, as long as we keep things in proper
perspective.
In this book, six psychological theories of human behavior are
given a Christian interpretation. The goal is to incorporate all of
God's truth to more fully understand our struggle to become
princes.
