Happiness and Other Small Things of Absolute Importance Haim Shapira You might also like:
9781780289472 I Am/You Are
How do our emotions, our desires, our imagination and our understanding of our ever-changing relationship with meaning help us to define and understand what happiness really means and what really matters? Drawing on literary and philosophical sources ranging from Alice in Wonderland, Winnie the Pooh and The Little Prince to Descartes and Nietzche, Haim Shapira invites us to challenge our perspectives on happiness and provides us with alternative ways we may view what is important. As Haim concludes it is the spaces in between the possible paths that we might take, where we are able to find a place of grace that the important things that matter to us will light our way. The choice is ours. Dr Haim Shapira is an expert in game theory and a popular public speaker. Haim holds PhDs in Mathematical Genetics and Science Education from Tel-Aviv University, where he is currently a senior lecturer. He teaches mathematics, psychology, philosophy and literature and is the author of several books, including Following Alice – A Journey into the World of Lewis Carroll.

John the baptist and the lost gnostics The Secret History of the Mandaeans Andrew Phillip Smith
9781780288215 The Secret History of the Gnostics
9781780287157 The Lost Teachings of the Cathars
Are there still Gnostics and can their roots be traced back to John the Baptist? Among the casualties of the western intervention in Iraq and the recent activities of ISIS are the Mandaeans of Southern Iraq. These peace-loving people are now fleeing to the west. They are the last Gnostics, the only surviving remnant of the ancient sects who taught the direct knowledge of God, created their own gospels and were persecuted as heretical by the church in the second and third centuries. The Mandaeans place weekly river baptisms at the centre of their religious life and the primary exemplar of their religion is none other than John the Baptist. This book follows the history of the Mandaeans from their present plight back through their earliest encounters with the West, their place in Islamic counties, back to their origins as a first century baptismal sect connected to John the Baptist and beyond. Andrew Phillip Smith is the editor of The Gnostic and the author of The Lost History of the Cathars and The Secret History of the Gnostics. He has also written for Fortean Times, New Dawn and The Guardian. 11

opening the doors of perception The Key to Cosmic Awareness Anthony Peake
9781780280219 The Out of Body Experience
9781780285719 The Infinite Minefield
The hottest topic in science and philosophy these days is the relationship between physical reality and the inner workings of consciousness. Opening the Doors of Perception will be the first mass-market book to address the science behind this relationship. It introduces the concept of a scale of perceptions, and uses the analogy of a series of doors being opened, to slowly reveal layerby-layer the true nature of ‘reality’, or full consciousness. It is stated that most human beings will always view these doors as securely closed, yet this book provides processes and methods whereby the reader can begin to open these ‘doors’ and perceive reality in all its unfiltered glory. Anthony Peake is the author of two critically acclaimed books, The Out of Body Experience and The Infinite Minefield, and has had various articles published in magazines, academic journals and websites across the English-speaking world. His books have received consistently excellent reviews and he is fast developing a reputation as one of the most exciting and creative of the new wave of writers within the field of Noetic Science. 15

There’s also information to help parents and teachers introduce children to yoga, even if they don’t practise yoga themselves.

The Illuminati
The Counter Culture Revolution – From Secret Societies to Wikileaks and Anonymous Robert Howells By the same author:
9781780285696 The Last Pope
Marginalised groups have always rebelled against establishments; some subversively by spreading progressive ideas through art and literature, while others are far more proactive, driving revolution and exposing government secrets. The Illuminati, founded in 1776, aimed to rid Europe of the ruling aristocracy and religious control. Now the term Illuminati has become a meme; and it was in this climate of pranks, memes and conspiracy theories that the hacktivist collective Anonymous were born. The kindling of the French Revolution by the Illuminati has found a modern counterpart in how Anonymous and WikiLeaks played a key role in the Arab Spring uprisings, using the Internet as a new weapon against dictatorships. The new inquisition has shifted its focus from secret societies to wage a war on the connected communities of the Internet age. This is the story of that war and how you need to be a part of it. Robert Howells has spent the last 20 years investigating the mysteries of Rennes-le-Chateau, the Priory of Sion and the history of conspiracy theories. He is author of Inside the Priory of Sion and The Last Pope. 21

9781780288550 Prayer for the Day Volume I
A follow-on to the highly successful Prayer for the Day Volume I, this second volume brings together another 365 selected readings from the much-loved, long-running series on BBC Radio 4. The programme, which continues to attract over half a million dedicated listeners, comprises a short two-minute reflection to start the day. These artfully combine traditional forms of prayer and reflection, from a variety of religions and denominations, with contemporary issues and themes that are often relevant to the date on which the programme is broadcast. There are 365 reflections in the book, from a vast range of eminent religious figures and broadcasters who have contributed to the programme over the years. To emphasise the point that the reflections can be used daily, they are ordered by date and each entry is selected on the basis of it being as date-specific as possible. Prayer for the Day Volume II is a beautiful and inspirational addition to any bedside table, with religious meditations that both participate in the ecumenical spirit of the 21st century and equip you perfectly for each day’s journey.

The late Ralph Alan Dale translates Tao as the Great Integrity, that is the return to holism, honesty and creativity; our harmony with each other, with the environment and indeed with ourselves. We are perhaps the first generation in the 2500 years since this inspirational book was written, to fully appreciate the words and their message. It resonates with our 21st century hopes, dreams and new capacities as though Lao Tzu had written this remarkable book only for us. This book is presented beautifully, with stunning, atmospheric photographs printed in black and silver to enhance the verses and stimulate the imagination of the reader. A classic work, and a beautiful volume to own and give. Ralph Alan Dale (1920-2006) was a teacher, researcher, writer, acupuncturist and composer who published more than 70 books, videos and audiobooks over 30 years. He lived in Florida and North Carolina. John Cleare is an internationally renowned photographer, specialising in landscapes, mountains and nature.

NewTitles_LBF2016_interior.indd 26
Breathing is universal; if you can breathe you can be mindful and if you can be mindful you can find inner peace and transform your life. Following on from the hugely successful I Met A Monk, Rose Elliot, renowned vegetarian chef and proponent of mindfulness, gently leads the reader on a voyage of discovery. This journey starts with the teachings of the Buddha on a moonlit evening and in its retelling reveals the techniques and teachings we can all still use in this day and age, using our breath as a focus or a tool for mindfulness. Mindfulness breathing is simple, direct and easy to learn. If you can breathe you can be mindful and once you master this you can access it at any point, wherever you happen to be day or night. Rose Elliot MBE was brought up in a spiritual environment. Her grandmother, Grace Cooke, was the medium for White Eagle and founded the White Eagle Lodge based on his teachings, which had a strong Buddhist element to them. Some years ago, Rose heard a Buddhist monk speak about the Four Noble Truths and that you could write everything you need to know about Buddhism on the back of a postcard . . . this inspired her meditation practice, her writing, and her love for and interest in Buddhism.

Crystals can help to clear the thoughts that drive ingrained emotions and behaviour, shutting off the automatic pilot and moving into the self. In addition, crystals can create the right environmental ambience to support constant mindfulness and wellbeing. In Crystal Mindfulness, different themes such as ‘Creating stability’ and ‘Letting go of the past’ are explored, and each one is linked to the crystals that can bring awareness and increase wellbeing in those particular situations. The perfect introduction to the power of meditating with crystals, this guide helps the reader begin their route to mental, emotional and spiritual health. Judy Hall is known around the world for her crystal work and a wide range of bestselling books, including The Crystal Bible and Earth Blessings. Working as a psychic, healer, broadcaster and international workshop leader for more than 40 years, she has three times appeared on the Watkins Bookshop Spiritual 100 List of the most spiritually influential living people of the 21st century. 27

The secret american destiny The Hidden Order of The Universe and The Seven Disciplines of World Culture Nicholas Hagger By the same author:
9781780289526 The Secret Founding of America
In the final work of Nicholas Hagger’s American trilogy, he explains how it is America’s destiny to create a unified World State and blames the world’s current divided culture for impeding this creation. In our world culture, there are several conflicting, entrenched approaches and Hagger sees America as the singular force that can bring in a democratic, UN-based World State that will have the power to unify these different approaches and in doing so, unify humankind. Universalism is the philosophy that can create this unification. The key to introducing Universalism globally is by focusing on the scientific order of the universe, the experience of the common essence (religion) and on a traditional view of order. By focusing on order in this way, America can harmonize humankind within a World State based on political Universalism. Nicholas Hagger has written more than 40 books. The two previous books in his American trilogy, The Secret Founding of America and The Secret American Dream, have been widely discussed and acclaimed.

This stunningly illustrated deck is the only Tarot to use the ancient beliefs of the Cathar to power its journey.

Included in the accompanying book is a brief overview of Cathar belief, background information, on the archetypal imagery of the card, a detailed guide to the divinatory reading of the card, and three new complex spreads. This new take on Tarot will appeal to card-led users as well as those interested in the Cathar mysteries.

So now he’s on the side of the law, but deep in Europe on the trail of the feared Unimancers.

The landscape of twenty-first-century arts and letters is faded and inert, driven by fashionable cynicism, egotistical selfreference and a nostalgia for the recent past. Repeater intends to add its voice to those movements that wish to enter history and assert control over its currents, gathering together scattered and isolated voices with those who have already called for an escape from Capitalist Realism. Our desire is to publish in every sphere and genre, combining vigorous dissent and a pragmatic willingness to succeed where messianic abstraction and quiescent co-option have stalled: abstention is not an option: we are alive and we don’t agree.

Smile if you dare
Politics and Pointy Hats with the Pet Shop Boys Ramzy Alwakeel Smile If You Dare is the book that finally puts the Pet Shop Boys under the academic microscope following decades of near-total neglect. A creative analysis of the band’s fifth album Very, it examines topics as diverse as technological paradise, sexual paranoia and representations of class in British pop music. As well as a keen critical edge, it is equipped with an undisguised mad love for the source material, a sense of passionate abandon induced by the tragic/ecstatic synth-pop that pours out of the speakers. In an attempt to uncover the heart of this technicolour record, Smile If You Dare rummages frantically through an impossible orange room, an aeroplane, a gaming arcade, an East End council flat and the beaches of California. It is also a partial history of Aids, the recording industry, homelessness in London and the doomed but rapturous search for the gay utopia. Ramzy Alwakeel is a British newspaper journalist. He was born in 1988 and encountered the Pet Shop Boys somewhat prematurely on Top of the Pops as a small child. His work has appeared in the Evening Standard and the electronic music journal Dancecult. 68

games without frontiers Joe Kennedy
Football, we’re told frequently, is in a state of crisis. A microcosm of late capitalism’s free-for-all, it has become almost dystopian in its commodification, and its working-class constituency have become thoroughly alienated from the sport they grew up believing was a birthright. Games Without Frontiers seeks to interrogate this perspective by forcing us to think about what we mean when we say ‘football’. Along the way, it skewers media cliches about footballers and fans, considers the sport’s implications for radical politics and aesthetics, and situates the ‘working-man’s game’ in relation to twenty-first century discussions of political authenticity. Written half as a travelogue, this book seeks to protect football from some of its would-be saviours without ever losing sight of what it means to have a fan’s investment in the game. Joe Kennedy is from the north-east of England and teaches English and Cultural Studies on the University of Gothenburg’s programme at the University of Sussex. His academic work focuses on the postwar continuations and mutations of modernism in Britain, and on critical theory. He writes on literature, music, visual art, sport and politics for a wide range of publications. 69

post-punk then and now Edited by Gavin Butt & Mark Fisher
What were the conditions of possibility for art and music-making before the era of neoliberal capitalism? What role did punk play in turning artists to experiment with popular music in the late 1970s and early 1980s? And why does the art and music of these times seem so newly pertinent to our political present, despite the seeming remoteness of its historical moment? Focusing upon the production of post-punk art, film, music, and publishing, this book offers new perspectives on an overlooked period of cultural activity, and probes the lessons that might be learnt from history for artists and musicians working under 21st century conditions of austerity. Contemporary reflections by those who shaped avant-garde and contestatory culture in the UK, US, Brazil and Poland in the 1970s and 1980s.

1996 & the end of history David Stubbs
1996 & The End of History examines the year as it panned out in the UK not just in politics but in music, light entertainment and sport. It was the zenith of a decade which will go down as remarkably untroubled by modern standards; following the collapse of the Berlin Wall, prior to 9/11, in which political conditions of peace and apparent economic prosperity created an overall mood of frivolity, postmodern antiseriousness and a desire to get back to sunnier times before the grim onset of the strife-ridden 70s and 80s. However, the author argues, this mood of retrograde optimism was a distraction, the feeling of prosperity a delusion, one compounded by the notion that now the End Of History had arrived, so had the old oppositions of Left And Right – that we were entering post-political times. They were nothing of the kind, as the future we find ourselves in today confirms. David Stubbs is a journalist and author who started working life at Melody Maker in 1986. Since then he has written for NME, Uncut, The Wire, The Guardian, The Observer, The Sunday Times, The Daily Mash, When Saturday Comes and The Quietus among others. He is also the author of several books. He lives in East London. 71

dante’s broken hammer Graham Harman
In this book the founder of object-oriented philosophy transforms one of the classic poets of the Western canon, Dante Alighieri, into an edgy stimulus for contemporary continental thought. It is well known that Dante’s poetic works interpret love as the moving force of the universe: as embodied in his muse Beatrice from La Vita Nuova onward, as well as the much holier persons inhabiting Paradiso. Likewise, if love is the ultimate form of sincerity, it is easy to interpret the Inferno as a brilliant counterpoint of anti-sincerity, governed by fraud and blasphemy along with the innocuous form of fraud known as humour. In turn, the middle ground of Purgatorio is where Harman locates Dante’s clearest theory of sincerity. Yet this is only the beginning. For while Dante provides a suitable background for the metaphysics of commitment found in later thinkers, he also provides even more important resources for overcoming two centuries of philosophy shaped by Immanuel Kant. Graham Harman is Distinguished University Professor at the American University in Cairo. Among his most recent books are Bells and Whistles: More Speculative Realism, Bruno Latour: Reassembling the Political, and Immaterialism. 72

the living and the dead Toby Austin Locke
The Living and the Dead examines the complex barriers and boundaries between the worlds of life and death. The book draws upon philosophy, ethnography, literature and natural science in order to suggest that rather than being seen as opposing terms, life and death are better understood as continuous tendencies acting upon one another in a relationship where neither can be seen as passive. Arguing that the failure to think the relationship between that which is living and that which is not leads to situations where both life and death are degraded, The Living and the Dead, proposes that to confront the challenges of our times – the dominance of economism, the ecological crisis, technological advancement – we need to develop a more nuanced, complex, and fluid understand of the relationships between life and death. Toby Austin Locke is a research student in the Department of Anthropology at Goldsmiths College where his current project focuses on practice-based approaches to commoning. He has written and edited a number of print and digital publications in a range of styles, most recently contributing to Through Europe (th-rough.eu) and acting as a contributing editor to the Society for Cultural Anthropology. 73

in defence of serendipity Seb Olma
In Defence of Serendipity is a lively and buccaneering work of investigative philosophy, treating the origins of serendipity, accident and sagacity, both as riddles and philosophical concepts that can be put to a future political use. Taking in Aristotle, LSD, Tony Blair and techno-mysticism, Olma challenges the prevailing faith in the benevolence of digital technology and the illegitimate equation of innovation and entrepreneurship, arguing instead that we must take responsibility for the care of society’s digital infrastructure, and prevent its degeneration into an apparatus of marketing and finance. For although there is nothing wrong with marketing and finance per se, if they alone lead technological development, free of any discretionary political interference, the freedom to be exploited will be as much a part of the future as our ability to intervene freely in our lives Seb Olma is Professor for Autonomy in Art and Design at Avans University for Applied Sciences in Breda and Den Bosch, The Netherlands. He lives in Amsterdam.

spectres of revolt:
On the Intellect of Insurrection and Philosophy from Below Richard Gilaman-Opalsky In 1848, Karl Marx declared that a communist spectre was haunting Europe. In 1994, Jacques Derrida considered how the spectre of Marx would haunt the post-Cold War world. In Spectres of Revolt Gilaman-Opalsky argues that the world is haunted by revolt, by the possibility of events that interrupt and disrupt the world, that throw its reality and justice into question. But recent revolt is neither decisively communist nor decisively Marxist. The book develops a theory of revolt that accounts for its diverse critical content about autonomy, everyday life, anxiety, experience, knowledge, and possibility. Gilaman-Opalsky aims to move beyond the critical theory of revolt to an understanding of revolt as theory itself. Making use of diverse sources, Spectres of Revolt explores upheaval as thinking, the intellect of insurrection, and philosophy from below Richard Gilaman-Opalsky, Ph.D., is Associate Professor of Political Philosophy in the Department of Political Science at the University of Illinois at Springfield. Dr. Gilaman-Opalsky is also author of: Unbounded Publics, Spectacular Capitalism, and Precarious Communism. 75

The Psychopath Factory How Capitalism Organizes Empathy Tristam Vivian Adams
The Psychopath Factory examines how the requirements, stimuli, and environments of work condition our empathy. In some cases work calls for no empathy, in other cases capitalism requires empathy in spades.When workers are required to either ignore their empathy to do a job, or dial it up to increase productivity, they are entering a psychopathic modality. Capitalism pressures us to feign empathy and leverage social relationships on one hand, whilst being cold and pragmatic on the other. We are passionate and enthusiastic whilst keeping a professional distance. But could psychopathy subvert the control regimes of late capitalism? Does it hold the potential to emancipate us from the current impasse? Sympathy, care, compassion and altruism are important; The Psychopath Factory argues that it is a mistake to presuppose that empathy can achieve these. Rather than being subject to the late capitalist organization of our empathy, psychopathy could be a means of escape. Tristam Vivian Adams is a theorist, writer and PhD candidate at Goldsmiths College, University of London. 76

the weird and the eerie Mark Fisher
What exactly are the Weird and the Eerie? In this new essay, Mark Fisher argues that some of the most haunting and anomalous fiction of the 20th century belongs to these two modes. The Weird and the Eerie are closely related but distinct modes, each possessing its own distinct properties. Both have often been associated with Horror, yet this emphasis overlooks the aching fascination that such texts can exercise. The Weird and the Eerie both fundamentally concern the outside and the unknown, which are not intrinsically horrifying, even if they are always unsettling. Perhaps a proper understanding of the human condition requires examination of liminal concepts such as the weird and the eerie. These two modes will be analysed with reference to the work of authors such as H.P. Lovecraft, H.G. Wells, M.R. James, Christopher Priest, Joan Lindsay, Nigel Kneale, Daphne Du Maurier, Alan Garner and Margaret Atwood, and films by Stanley Kubrick, Jonathan Glazer and Christoper Nolan. Mark Fisher is the author of Capitalist Realism and Ghosts of My Life. He lectures at Goldsmiths, blogs at k-punk.abstractdynamics.org and writes regularly for other publications including The Guardian. 77
