Wilson Books

Is there life after death? The author assesses the evidence for this widely held and much contested belief. From Adam Crabtree's patients who heard "voices inside their heads" to Elizabeth Kubler-Ross on death and dying, from Rudolf Steiner and Madame Blatavsky to Kenneth Ring and Raymond Moody. Colin Wilson examines theories, trends, and phenomena in an effort to reach a conclusion to this most perplexing issue.

Wilson also offers hundreds of case histories and anecdotes on topics as diverse as split brain research, apparitions, telepathy, the magic of primitive man, pre-cognition, out of body experience, A-consciousness and B-consciousness, vampires, the subliminal mind, past lives, the mystery of multiple personalities, and contact with the dead. He asks and answers questions on how far we can trust the evidence given by mediums, the presence of spirits in madness, how we lost our psychic powers, why the Victorians were skeptical of the occult, can personality survive death, are spirit controls sub-personalities, and most important, "What happens after death?"

Francesca M. Wilson was a tireless relief worker, working with war refugees throughout World Wars I and II as well as the Spanish Civil War.

In 1944 she published 'In the Margins of Chaos' -- recollections of Relief work with Appendix on Advice to Relief Workers. In January 1945 she joined Unrra as Principal Welfare Officer, arriving in Germany two days after its defeat, and working among the Dachau victims and other DP's (displaced persons) in the American Zone of Germany.

In the summer and autumn of 1946 she visited Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and Austria under Unrra auspices, and upon her return finished this book. The book is the first inside account of Unrra's attempts to relieve the chaos in Europe after WW II.

Seeing the obvious "people breakage" of past changes, the President of the company bought the book for the senior staff to read and discuss so we'll be more skilled in change management.

The model is simple and yet powerful. I found myself doing a self-examination and applying it at home with my children. It will take some time to master the techniques and I'm optimistic it will greatly assist us with future corporate changes.

It's my intention to put together a training program for the entire company as it will help everyone better face business and personal change.

Gloriously illustrated childrens book.

A wonderful story about the pastimes of Krsna, the perfect child.

When his friends are swollowed by a great serpent monster, Krsna must find a way to save his friends. With his special powers he slays the demon and rescues his friends.

Wonderful stylistic illustrations full of glorious detail and clever perspectives - the boys running through the forest, trailed by shadows and the shadows of the birds above and so on.

I'm so in love with this book, which was one of my childhood treasures, that I am going to purchase the two available second hand copies for my son and his cousins.

In fact, the illustrations which are slightly reminiscent of the earlier Disney movies (such as Beauty & the Beast) inspired me to become an animator.

I can't wait for the next generation to enjoy them, and this is one story I would kill to see an animated adventure of. Until then, love the book!

Very worth adding to your collection, and is a book which will surely be requested repeatedly.

This classic emic account of Hidatsa agriculture is a great source of ethnohistorical data, ranging from descriptions of old men's tobacco gardens to cache pit digging.

Mi comentario es sobre Xul Solar,y creo que cualquier libro que rescate la obra de este gran creador sudamericano servira para que ocupe el lugar que merece en la historia. Recomiendo a todo amante del arte, de cualquier lugar, que entre dentro del mundo de este artista para descubrir todas las facetas que deslumbraron (como lo hace un calidoscopio a los ojos de un niño)a artistas tan importantes como Jorge Luis Borges o Leopoldo Marechal (quien lo hizo personaje de su novela Adan Buenoayres).

Xul Solar hizo del mundo su materia de creación, acto que en la historia del arte muy pocos artistas lograron. Por supuesto, exceptuando a Dios.

I've read the book and it is an outstanding story on obedience and sacrifice. Children will understand the importance of the love God has for us.

this book is AWESOME! buy a lot of copies, you'll see!

Being aware of the many benefits of herbs for a long time we are finally in a position to grow our own herb garden. Having read many books and articles I find "for the price" the content of this book offers an unequaled quick guide for living with herbs-growing and preserving instructions, tips and techniques for designing herb gardens, and ideas for herbs in the kitchen, herbal remedies and other health and personal care as well as fragrances.

This book is a mainstay in our library. It is beautifully designed and printed and is a joy to read even if you never grow your own herbs.

Nice book, but some of the materials used are British and may not be available in USA.
