Ghost Train to the Eastern Star : On the tracks of 'The Great Railway Bazaar' (9780141015729)



Paul Theroux's Ghost Train to the Eastern Star is a journey from London to Asia by train.

Thirty years ago Paul Theroux left London and travelled across Asia and back again by train. His account of the journey - The Great Railway Bazaar - was a landmark book and made his name as the foremost travel writer of his generation. Now Theroux makes the trip all over again. Through Eastern Europe, India and Asia to discover the changes that have swept the continents, and also to learn what an old man will make of a young man's journey. Ghost Train to the Eastern Star is a brilliant chronicle of change and an exploration of how travel is 'the saddest of pleasures'.

'A dazzler, giving us the highs and lows of his journey and tenderness and acerbic humour . . . fellow-travelling weirdoes, amateur taxi drivers, bar-girls and long-suffering locals are brought vividly to life' Spectator

'Fans of Theroux are not likely to be disappointed. Theroux has great descriptive skill . . . the world is slightly less unknown by virtue of reading the book' Sunday Telegraph

'Relaxed, curious, confident, surprisingly tender. Theroux's writing has an immediate, vivid and cursory quality that gives it a collective strength' Sunday Times

'A brilliant eye, readable and vivid. Theroux has still got it' Observer

'Fascinating, a joy to read' Tatler

Paul Theroux's books include Dark Star Safari, Ghost Train to the Eastern Star, Riding the Iron Rooster, The Great Railway Bazaar, The Elephanta Suite, A Dead Hand, The Tao of Travel and The Lower River. The Mosquito Coast and Dr Slaughter have both been made into successful films. Paul Theroux divides his time between Cape Cod and the Hawaiian islands.

Camp David (9780241957721)



Britain's Got Talent is BACK . . . so it's time to get serious with Britain's favourite funny man.

Famous comedian and actor, funniest judge on Britain's Got Talent, high-achieving sportsman and BESTSELLING AUTHOR of The World's Worst Children series, David Walliams is a man of many talents . . .

Launched to fame with the record-breaking Little Britain, his characters - Lou, Florence, Emily, amongst others - became embedded in our shared popular culture. You couldn't enter a playground for a long while without hearing "eh, eh, eh" or "computer says no".

And Walliams is a mystery. Often described as a bundle of contradictions, he is disarming and enigmatic, playing up his campness one minute and hinting about his depression the next.

To read Camp David is to be truly shocked, as well as tickled pink: David Walliams bares his soul like never before and reveals a fascinating and complex mind.

This searingly honest autobiography is a true roller-coaster ride of emotions, as this nation's sweetheart unlocks closely guarded secrets that until now have remained hidden in his past.

The Unbound : An Archived Novel (9781423194644)



Imagine a place where the dead rest on shelves like books. Each body has a story to tell, a life seen in pictures that only Librarians can read. The dead are called Histories, and the vast realm in which they rest is the Archive. Last summer, Mackenzie Bishop, a Keeper tasked with stopping violent Histories from escaping the Archive, almost lost her life to one. Now, as she starts her junior year at Hyde School, she's struggling to get her life back. But moving on isn't easy-not when her dreams are haunted by what happened. She knows the past is past, knows it cannot hurt her, but it feels so real, and when her nightmares begin to creep into her waking hours, she starts to wonder if she's really safe. Meanwhile, people are vanishing without a trace, and the only thing they seem to have in common is Mackenzie. She's sure the Archive knows more than they are letting on, but before she can prove it, she becomes the prime suspect. And unless Mac can track down the real culprit, she'll lose everything, not only her role as Keeper, but her memories, and even her life. Can Mackenzie untangle the mystery before she herself unravels? With stunning prose and a captivating mixture of action, romance, and horror, The Unbound delves into a richly imagined world where no choice is easy and love and loss feel like two sides of the same coin. Praise for The Archived"As gorgeously written as it is brilliantly inventive, The Archived is that rare book that grabs you by the mind and the heart, not letting go of either once you've turned the last page. It's earned a permanent spot on my Keeper shelf." -Rachel Hawkins, New York Times best-selling author of the Hex Hall series
"A page-turning plot, a setting that haunted my dreams, and breathtaking prose. Truly a masterful, dark, beautiful novel." -Ruta Sepetys, New York Times bestselling author of Between Shades of Gray and Out of the Easy
"Schwab skillfully manages that rare accomplishment: a spine-tingling, supernatural, ghostly mystery that is fully believable. A writer to watch for sure sequel please!" -School Library Journal "From the unusual premise to the dark, evocative narration, Schwab's novel skillfully blends fantasy and mystery there's a musty, yearning charm to this story. -Publishers Weekly
"Teens who like a quick pace and a smart read will enjoytheir journey to the Archives and hope for a return trip." -The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

Bioenergy Healing : Simple Techniques for Reducing Pain and Restoring Health Through Energetic Healing (9781531870997)



Widely recognized as one of the most powerful healing methods that has ever been developed, bioenergy healing is relatively easy to learn. Csongor's unique writing - as if you were listening to him live at one of his seminars - makes this comprehensive book on energy healing a light yet very informative listen. If you are a fast learner, you may learn to heal in only one day. By the end of the book, you will become a healer for a lifetime.

Csongor Daniel was one of the first officially recognized bioenergy healers in the former Yugoslavia, trained by the legendary Zdenko Domancic. While his teacher has healed more than a million people, Csongor has no such ambitions. Instead, he would like to teach more than a million of you how to become healers yourselves.

Bioenergy Healing will teach you how to feel and see the energy fields of the body and how to manipulate the energy in order to induce healing. QR codes throughout the book enable listeners to see the techniques demonstrated in brief videos.

Who needs bioenergy healing? Anyone who has ever dabbled in healing but is still looking for the right method; people who read most books on energy healing but are still puzzled by complicated approaches and explanations; individuals who want to learn energy healing but are too busy to take months or years of courses; health professionals who want to add a new effective modality to their practices; and parents and children who want to help their friends and family members reduce or eliminate pain and heal without drugs. In other words: everyone wanting to help others to heal.

Also Human : The Inner Lives of Doctors (9780099510796)



_____________________________
'A furious dispatch from the front line of the hospital system.' THE TIMES, Book of the Week
_____________________________
Doctors are the people we turn to in our darkest moments. We trust them with our lives. But what does that stress do to a person?

What does it take to confront death, disease, distress and suffering every day? To work in a healthcare system stretched to breaking point? To make decisions that will change lives - or possibly end them? And how do doctors cope with their own questions and fears, when they are expected to have all the answers?

Caroline Elton is a psychologist who, for two decades, has specialised in helping doctors: the obstetrician whose own fertility treatment failed; the trainee oncologist struggling to face patients with the disease that killed her father; the brilliant neurosurgeon whose career stalled in an environment hostile to women; and many more.

Drawing on extraordinary case studies and decades of work supporting clinicians, Also Human presents a provocative, perceptive and deeply humane examination of the modern medical profession.

A hilarious and heartwarming New York Times bestselling novel--now a major motion picture!

"This 48-karat beach read is crazy fun." --Entertainment Weekly When New Yorker Rachel Chu agrees to spend the summer in Singapore with her boyfriend, Nicholas Young, she envisions a humble family home and quality time with the man she hopes to marry. But Nick has failed to give his girlfriend a few key details.

On Nick's arm, Rachel may as well have a target on her back the second she steps off the plane, and soon, her relaxed vacation turns into an obstacle course of old money, new money, nosy relatives, and scheming social climbers.

Little Dorrit (9780141439969)



A novel of serendipity, of fortunes won and lost, and of the spectre of imprisonment that hangs over all aspects of Victorian society, Charles Dickens's Little Dorrit is edited with an introduction by Stephen Wall in Penguin Classics.

When Arthur Clennam returns to England after many years abroad, he takes a kindly interest in Amy Dorrit, his mother's seamstress, and in the affairs of Amy's father, William Dorrit, a man of shabby grandeur, long imprisoned for debt in Marshalsea prison. As Arthur soon discovers, the dark shadow of the prison stretches far beyond its walls to affect the lives of many, from the kindly Mr Panks, the reluctant rent-collector of Bleeding Heart Yard, and the tipsily garrulous Flora Finching, to Merdle, an unscrupulous financier, and the bureaucratic Barnacles in the Circumlocution Office. A masterly evocation of the state and psychology of imprisonment, Little Dorrit is one of the supreme works of Dickens's maturity.

Stephen Wall's introduction examines Dickens's transformation of childhood memories of his father's incarceration in the Marshalsea debtors' prison. This revised edition includes expanded notes, appendices and suggestion for further reading by Helen Small, a chronology of Dickens's life and works, and original illustrations.

Charles Dickens is one of the best-loved novelists in the English language, whose 200th anniversary was celebrated in 2012. His most famous books, including Oliver Twist, Great Expectations, A Tale of Two Cities, David Copperfield and The Pickwick Papers, have been adapted for stage and screen and read by millions.

If you enjoyed Little Dorrit, you might like Dickens's Barnaby Rudge, also available in Penguin Classics.

Navigating the Nonsense (9781498228541)



Navigating the Nonsense will change the way your church approaches conflict and communication. It will unlock the untapped potential that exists in your church. It is a book for clergy and lay leaders. It is for churches tired of getting a new pastor every four years. It is for pastors who are afraid conflict may derail the effectiveness of their ministry. It is for pastors who are afraid conflict with a small group of people may lead to an early departure from their pastorate. It is for church leaders who want to find ways to protect their pastors from disgruntled members. It is for leadership teams and boards that feel their ministries are frozen in place or in a permanent state of decline. It is for those who believe the church cannot focus on ministry if it is bound up by so much conflict. It is for anyone who is tired of feeling frustrated and wants their church to become more centrally focused on Jesus and his way of doing things. ""The idea of 'triangulation' belongs in every leader's toolbox. Now Doug Bixby has given us the field manual we need to understand and use this concept well. Full of biblical and true-to-life contemporary stories from a pastor's life, Navigating the Nonsense will help clergy and lay leaders to do just what the title promises."" --Dan Hotchkiss, Consultant (www.danhotchkiss.com); Author of Governance and Ministry: Rethinking Board Leadership ""Doug Bixby engages the pastoral tone of Peterson and the family systems of Friedman to give us a practical book that navigates the painful and often unnecessary conflicts so many pastors and congregations experience. Bixby invites us into conversations with his friends, colleagues, clients, and congregants to help us see the practical benefits of communicating directly and speaking honestly in times of conflict. Navigating the Nonsense flows out of Bixby's pastoral wisdom to live honestly and directly with the congregations he serves. This is an excellent book for novice and seasoned pastors and church leaders."" --Kyle J. A. Small, Dean of Formation for Ministry; Associate Professor for Church Leadership, Western Theological Seminary ""Navigating the Nonsense belongs on the reading list of every pastor or church leader who desires to assist in successfully navigating a congregation through the challenges of a transition. For any pastor or leader who must lead in times of transition and change, Navigating the Nonsense is a must-read!"" --D. Darrell Griffin, Oakdale Covenant Church of Chicago ""Doug Bixby has done it again. Speaking from a heart of deep pastoral wisdom and experience, he offers timely insight into the arena of conflict transformation in the local church. The call for direct communication and the ending of triangulation in communication patterns, if practiced rigorously and consistently, will change the culture of the local church, moving it towards health and greater missional endeavor. The book does not promise smooth sailing--conflict is normative--but it does give essential navigational aids for most seasons and settings of congregational life."" --David Kersten, Dean, North Park Theological Seminary, Chicago Doug Bixby is a senior pastor, conference speaker, and church consultant. He is also the author of The Honest to God Church: A Pathway to God's Grace and Challenging the Church Monster: From Conflict to Community.
