No ownership inscription.250 pages clean and tight. Do you believe in ghosts? Do you think telepathy is possible? Do you accept claims that people have experienced such phenomena? Reported cases of paranormal events are widespread and occur in all cultures around the world. This fascinating book attempts to explain the unexplained.

Marion twisted the British lion's tail until he cried uncle. Like our joy in David's triumph over Goliath, it is this sympathy with the underdog which has made us so ashamed of our role in Vietnam where we played Goliath. Consider the feats of Francis Marion: although he was already in his forties… Read More

Numerous colour and b/w illustrations. 296 pages clean and tight. South Sea Islands conjure up romantic images of palm-fringed coral beaches and dusky maidens. At a time when Pacific countries are gaining independence and when contact with the outside world is becoming both more frequent and more superficial with the advent of package tours, it is worthwhile taking stock of the remarkable 450 year-old relationship between Europeans (and later the Americans) and the indigenous peoples of these Islands.
