£11.10The Mystery of Doggerland: Atlantis in the North Sea
£11.27New marine archaeological evidence has revealed the remains of a large land mass to the north of Britain that hosted an advanced civilization 1,000 years before the recognized “first” civilizations of ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, or India. Remembered in Celtic legends as Tu-lay, and referred to by geologists as Doggerland or Fairland, this civilization began at least as early as 4000 BC but was ultimately destroyed by rising sea levels, huge tsunamis, and a terrible viral epidemic released from melting permafrost during a cataclysmic period of global warming.
Exploring the latest archaeological findings and recent scientific analysis of Doggerland’s underwater remains, Graham Phillips shows that this ancient culture had sophisticated technology and advanced medical knowledge. He looks at evidence detected with remote sensing and seismic profiling of many artificial structures, complex settlements, gigantic earthworks, epic monoliths, and huge stone circles dated to more than 5,500 years ago, preserved beneath the ground and on the ocean floor. He examines evidence of Doggerland’s high-temperature technology, showing how its people were able to melt solid rock to create vitrified structures far stronger than concrete, a technique that modern science cannot replicate. He looks at the small part of the Fairland land mass that still exists: Fair Isle, a tiny island some 45 miles north of the Orkney Islands of Scotland. Phillips shows how, when Fairland sank beneath the waves around 3100 BC, its last survivors traveled by boat to settle in the British Isles, where they established the megalithic culture that built Stonehenge.
Revealing the vast archaeological evidence in support of the existence of Doggerland, as well as its threads of influence in early cultures around the world, Phillips also shows how the fate of this sophisticated ancient culture is a warning from history: the cataclysmic events that happened to the first civilizations could happen again as the world heats up.

Less than 50,000 years ago mankind had no art, no religion, no sophisticated symbolism, no innovative thinking. Then, in a dramatic and electrifying change, described by scientists as “the greatest riddle in human history”, all the skills and qualities that we value most highly in ourselves appeared already fully formed, as though bestowed on us by hidden powers. Graham Hancock sets out to investigate this mysterious “before-and-after moment” and to discover the truth about the influences that gave birth to the modern human mind.
His quest takes him on a journey of adventure from the stunningly beautiful painted caves of prehistoric France, Spain and Italy to remote rock shelters in the mountains of South Africa where he finds a treasure trove of extraordinary Stone Age art, ending in the depths of the Amazon rainforest, where he drinks the powerful plant hallucinogen Ayahuasca with Indian shamans, whose paintings contain images of “supernatural beings” identical to the animal-human hybrids depicted in prehistoric caves and rock shelters.
Could these “supernaturals” be the ancient teachers of mankind? And is human evolution in fact more purposeful and intelligent that we have barely even begun to understand?

The Tibetan Book of the Dead: First Complete Translation
The most graceful English translation of this masterpiece of world literature – prepared with the participation of the Dalai Lama and eminent contemporary masters of this tradition appointed by the Dalai Lama
One of the greatest works created by any culture and one of the most influential of all Tibetan Buddhist texts in the West, The Tibetan Book of the Dead has had a number of distinguished translations, but strangely all of these have been partial abridgements. Now the entire text has not only been made available in English but in a translation of quite remarkable clarity and beauty. A comprehensive guide to living and dying, The Tibetan Book of the Dead contains exquisitely written guidance and practices related to transforming our experience in daily life, on the processes of dying and the after-death state, and on how to help those who are dying. As originally intended this is as much a work for the living, as it is for those who wish to think beyond a mere conventional lifetime to a vastly greater and grander cycle.
‘Extraordinary … this work will be a source of inspiration and support to many’ His Holiness the Dalai Lama
About the authors:

The Physics of Consciousness: In the Quantum Field, Minerals, Plants, Animals and Human Souls (Existence – Consciousness – Bliss)
£11.49Understanding the true nature of consciousness is our prime responsibility.
Rampant deception, misunderstanding, and conflict in the human race today threaten the very existence of humankind.
All conflict is based on the fundamental misunderstanding and lack of awareness we hold about the true nature of existence. All misinterpretation and deception is rooted in differentiating consciousness from existence. By separating what goes on in our head from what goes on in the world, we divide our thoughts from our words and deeds.
In reality, consciousness and existence are the same thing.
This book confirms that external existence is an indivisible part of our consciousness and essence.
The consciousness of our mind is an integral part of the same consciousness that creates existence itself.
Contrary to traditional thinking, there is no multitude of consciousnesses. Consciousness is one and the same in everything. This one consciousness merely divides itself in order to experience every possible aspect of existence. Consciousness and existence are the same. Together, they comprise our very essence – our soul.
The true nature of consciousness and existence cannot be separated from the true nature of our essence or soul.
We cannot live one way, be aware in another way, and relate to our essence in a completely different way. Soul consciousness is inseparable from the world we live in. Insofar as we distance ourselves from soul consciousness, existence remains inauthentic, painful, and heartless. By separating ourselves from soul consciousness, we separate from consciousness and existence itself.
Just claiming that consciousness and existence are the same is not sufficient.
This book aims to make such Unity crystal clear.
Consciousness is presented here in all its details, in all its functioning, in all dimensions, through all nature and all forms – from the quantum field to minerals, plants, animals, and humans, as well as cultural development, artificial intelligence, ethics, and ultimately the discipline of self-knowledge.
This book is comprehensive and insightful.
Unity of the divine consciousness that creates everything using our own thoughts and actions is proven and demonstrated here in practical terms.
This is the only way any book explaining the world can have true practical value.
Or be of redeeming importance to the world.

Between Death and Life: Conversations with a Spirit
£11.55Real Magic: Ancient Wisdom, Modern Science, and a Guide to the Secret Power of the Universe: Unlocking Your Natural Psychic Abilities to Create Everyday Miracles
£11.59According to noted scientist and bestselling author of The Conscious Universe, Dean Radin, magic is a natural aspect of reality, and each of us can tap into this power with diligent practice.
But wait, aren’t things like ESP and telepathy just wishful thinking and flights of the imagination? Not according to the author, who worked on the US government’s top secret psychic espionage program known as Stargate. Radin has spent the last forty years conducting controlled experiments that demonstrate that thoughts are things, that we can sense others’ emotions and intentions from a distance, that intuition is more powerful than we thought, and that we can tap into the power of intention (think The Secret, only on a more realistic and scientific level). These dormant powers can help us to lead more interesting and fulfilling lives.
Beginning with a brief history of magic over the centuries (what was called magic two thousand years ago is turning out to be scientific fact today), a review of the scientific evidence for magic, a series of simple but effective magical techniques (the key is mental focus, something elite athletes know a lot about), Radin then offers a vision of a scientifically-informed magic and explains why magic will play a key role in frontiers of science.
Before the Pyramids: Cracking Archaeology’s Greatest Mystery
£11.70Journey with Christopher Knight and Alan Butler as they divulge their chillingly compelling scientific evidence of the existence of an advanced, technological civilisation in the far-off Ages. The suggestion that the Giza pyramids were laid out to represent the stars of Orion’s belt, with the position of the River Nile reflecting the Milky Way, was first put forward by Robert Bauval. In Before the Pyramids, Knight and Butler reveal that the British henges were arranged in the same formation but much earlier. They also present irrefutable evidence that the astronomical calculations determining the layout of the pyramids could only have been made from the site of the henges in North Yorkshire. From this they can conclude that the pyramids of the pharaohs were conceived and planned in Britain! Their next stunning discovery takes us to modern times. They have found evidence that the whole Megalithic measuring system has survived into the 20th century. There are examples in Washington, DC even in the positioning and construction of the Pentagon, which was only commenced in 1942 and is an exact copy of the dimensions of Stonehenge, dating to 3,000 BC.
Get your hands on this world-shattering take on modern day civilisation.

Ancient Mesopotamia: An Enthralling Overview of Mesopotamian History, Starting from Eridu through the Sumerians, Akkadians, Assyrians, Hittites, and … Alexander the Great (History of Mesopotamia)
£11.73Ancient Mesopotamia’s legacy was truly revolutionary. Childlike pictures scratched into wet clay evolved into the first written language. The Mesopotamians wrote the first epic poems, the first hymns, the first histories, and the first law codes. They developed the first wheel for transportation; simple carts that hauled bricks or produce morphed into chariots racing along at thirty-five miles per hour.
They gazed at the sky and mapped it, observing the planets’ retrograde motions and predicting lunar and solar eclipses. They developed the concept of time, measurements, basic counting, higher math, and hydraulic engineering.
Mesopotamia gave birth to the world’s first great empires—the Akkadians, Assyrians, Babylonians, and Achaemenids—which stretched over three continents.
A glimpse at the questions this overview unpacks includes:
- How old is the world’s first city?
- How did the Eridu Genesis compare to Noah and the ark?
- How fast was the world’s first postal system?
- How many times did Babylon’s patron god Marduk get stolen?
- How did Hammurabi’s law code compare to the Law of Moses?
- Who calculated pi (π) to the value of 3.125 and understood the Pythagorean theorem twelve centuries before Pythagoras was born?
- Did Xerxes really have a million men in his army?
- Which empire encompassed 44 percent of the world’s population?
- What eunuch poisoned most of the Persian royal family?
- And much, much more!

The New Covenant of Damascus
£11.74The scrolls revealed in this book were kept out of the public view until the late 1990’s. After reading them you will understand why. In the book of Romans, the apostle Paul taught that eventually all Israel would be saved. I believe this will be, in part, because the Dead Sea Scrolls reveal exactly what the original Judaism taught about the Messiah.
