This is a highly practical guide to identifying the constellations and the stars that comprise them. Geoffrey Cornelius, astronomy expert and teacher, brings star-watching vividly to life by conveying the rich symbolic significance that the heavens assumed in many cultures, from the Babylonians to the ancient Greeks. All 88 Major and Minor Constellations, and the planets, are included, along with beautiful 4-colour illustrations of each. “Signpost charts” make finding stars easy. “Full-sky maps” show which constellations are viewable and where, every month. Whether you’re a budding astronomer looking to deepen your understanding, or an astrologer hoping to learn more about the ancient myths of the sky, you’ll find everything you need in this comprehensive introduction.
GEOFFREY CORNELIUS is a consultant astrologer. He is a co-founder of the Company of Astrologers, London, and he has carried out postgraduate research into divination at the University of Kent, where he also taught.

Most of us will have experienced a TEE, an experience of time slowing down in an extreme situation, and yet it is a phenomenon that has never been fully explored or explained – until now.
Psychologist Dr. Steve Taylor has spent several years analyzing “time expansion experiences” (or TEEs), after collecting hundreds of reports. In this book he shares the fascinating psychology and shared features behind all of these case studies, coming to an incredible conclusion: TEEs are a real altered state of consciousness, rather than a trick of recollection. Not only this, but TEEs are almost always positive, with a sense of calm well-being, clarity and heightened awareness. Discover the profound implications this has for our understanding of time and consciousness.
