Jane Alexander

In Wild Things, Wild Places actress, author, and conservationist Jane Alexander offers a moving first-hand assessment of what is being done to help the planet’s most at risk animals. In short reflections on her travels to some of the most remote and forbidding areas, she describes the ways in which human incursions into the natural world are destroying wildlife around the globe. With a clear eye and a keen grasp of the issues, Alexander highlights the remarkable work being done in the fields of science and conservation, and introduces readers to the field biologists, zoologists, environmentalists, and conservationists—the “prophets in the wilderness”—who have committed themselves to this essential effort. Inspiring and enlightening, Wild Things, Wild Places is a deeply personal look at the changing face of wildlife on planet Earth.

The Energy Secret

Energy runs through all of life and links us with other people, our homes and nature and with the universe and spirit. But we don't really use it to our benefit. Understanding and directing your vital energy can give life more meaning and purpose and help with your health, your relationships and your mental wellbeing. Divided into four topics: Body energy (including breathing, exercise and the energy of food); Emotional energy (connecting to other people and their energy); Environmental energy (how to cultivate a great atmosphere at home and at work and how to connect with the natural world and the seasons); and Spiritual Energy (using prayer, visualisation and ritual to connect to the ultimate energy source, looking at the dark energy of judgement and depression and how to manage it, and finally, looking at death and where that energy goes. Energy healing treatments include reiki, chakra healing, acupressure and acupuncture. But there's so much you can do yourself at home to clear your energy paths and find harmony and joy. Jane offers simple techniques and exercises to work with, from massage and breathing to tantra and Taoism, from Feng Shui to shamanism, this is an in-depth guide to energy and its secret power.

"Cassie is an addict who has hit rock bottom. But unlike the other attendees at her support group, it's not substance abuse that has ruined her life and severed her from her family. Most importantly, she can't talk about her addiction: she's legally gagged. Cassie had a high-flying marketing job at Imagen, the tech giant behind the cutting-edge virtual reality experience Make-Believe (TM), and she got to know the product she was selling well. Too well. When Lewis joins the support group, Cassie knows instantly that he's recovering from addiction to Make-Believe too. Perhaps they could find solace together. But while her developing relationship with Lewis is a welcome escape from the real world, Imagen and Cassie are not done with each other yet, but what hope does Cassie have against that colossal company?"--Publisher.

Creating a soul-sustaining space, an intimate and emo tional connection with our home, has become a pursuit of the 21st century. As we change our lifestyles, downshift, work at home, deal with stress, live in different communities, we look towards home as a haven for peace and tranquillity.
