Ghosts of the Night
No animal better symbolises the desire to get closer and the need to respect distance than the owl. These remarkable creatures are both among and apart from us: sharing the same environments but carrying a sense of mystique as they beat their wings low over the fields where they hunt, or swoop up and around to their nest, high in a tree or haystack. There is something ethereal, awe- and fear-inspiring about the appearance and movement of these birds: graceful, distinctive, almost otherworldly. It is not hard to see why observers long ago watched the owl and deemed it a visitor from another place, with either a great or terrible message to impart. Every encounter with an owl is special, somehow new, and stands alone even as it helps you to understand patterns and connections. The silent approach of a white Barn Owl angel over a paddock is one of the most alluring images in the British countryside. The t’wit and the answering t’wo of the Tawny owl is a classic of the night. Both are tiny insights into the amazing lives of the owls that are found around us. Ghosts of the Night is a wonderful insight into every element of our British Owls – Barn and Tawny and their even more enigmatic cousins the Short-eared, Long-eared and Little. How well do they hear, how silently do they fly and how do they live in the ever changing countryside. Chris Sperring is the acknowleged expert and he explains everything you have ever wanted to know about these amazing creatures.

Big Guy
Big Guy tells the story of Marcus Redwood, widely known as the UK's most notorious nightclub doorman. Over a career spanning around 40 years, he had an estimated 3,000 fights on the doors of clubs and pubs in Southern England, and knocked out approximately 1,000 men, never losing in a one-on-one confrontation throughout his entire door work. Growing up on a small farm near the seaside town of Ramsgate, Marcus was subjected to vicious bullying at every school he attended. Angry and frustrated by the violence and intimidation he endured, he eventually resolved never to be bullied again and took up boxing. After his first unofficial door work for the landlord of his local pub when he was 16 (in return for free beer), his formal door security work started at age 18 - no training, uniforms, radios or metal detectors. He worked during the day cutting down trees for the local council, and at night on the doors of clubs and pubs. He was 6ft2ins and weighed 19.5 stone in his prime. Guns and knives were an ever-present danger to Marcus. Troublemakers who were thrown out of clubs often threatened to return with guns or knives; and some actually did. A stranger thrown out of a club might be a gangster or part of a gangster family. There was always a risk of revenge and retribution. Marcus was the target of London hitmen outside his home, who tried to shoot and kill him. Well-known underworld friends and acquaintances during Marcus's career included the Kray twins, Freddie Foreman, Frankie Fraser and the 'celebrity gangster' Dave Courtney. Looking back on his 40-year career on the doors, Marcus has not only been involved in thousands of fights, but he has also seen the best and worst of the club world, and even the tragic loss of life. He worked with some of the very best and very worst doormen. He has escaped death. His life story is not only fascinating and entertaining; it is an inspirational story of persistence battling against all the odds and living to tell the tale.
Spomienka na Rudolfa Steinera
Antropozofická lekárka Ita Wegmanová v sebe dlho nosila zámer zostaviť svoje spomienky na Rudolfa Steinera z posledného obdobia jeho života – vrcholu vzostupu antropozofie. Počas života Rudolfa Steinera si len zriedka zaznamenávala svoje zážitky zo stretnutí s ním – alebo sa tieto vôbec nezachovali. Mnohé naznačuje, že Ita Wegmanová nevidela potrebu písomného záznamu svojich zážitkov a prežitých skúseností a chránila to, čo bolo vzácne, tým, že to nezaznamenávala. Formovala svoje neskoršie pamätné prejavy z hlbín svojich vnútorných spomienok – zdieľala to, čo považovala za prístupné a vhodné zdieľať. Veľa z toho videla na vlastné oči, vrátane osobných rozhovorov. Wegmanová sa však nakoniec rozhodla proti publikovaniu. Medzi jej dokumentmi sa našli dôležité poznámky, zápisy zo zápisníkov a rukopisy prednášok.
V tejto súvislosti bolo jasným rozhodnutím publikovať niektoré z jej spomienok na Rudolfa Steinera z rukopisov poznámkovej knihy pri príležitosti 66. výročia úmrtia Ity Wegmanovej, ako aj opäť sprístupniť rôzne eseje a články, ktoré napísala krátko po smrti svojho učiteľa – v obavách o budúcnosť Antropozofickej spoločnosti a v snahe zachovať centrum antropozofie, jej tvorcu, jeho dielo a jeho zámery. Kniha v slovenskom preklade vychádza k 100. výročiu úmrtia Rudolfa Steinera.
