Domorodí léčitelé a šamani již od pradávna vědí, že rostliny v sobě mají duchovní esenci, která může komunikovat s okolním světem prostřednictvím světla, zvuku a vibrací. Toto jejich poznání nyní potvrzují i nejnovější vědecké objevy. Kniha Léčení s pomocí duchů rostlin a stromů nám odhaluje mocnou sílu duchů rostlin a stromů, kteří mají schopnost se spojit s námi, lidmi, a naší inteligencí a pomáhají nám dosáhnout hlubokého uzdravení. Tito duchové rostlin a stromů nám umožní se uzdravit na hlubší úrovni, jež přesahuje pouhé léčení symptomů, a přivádějí nás k souladu s rozsáhlým světem přírody. Rostliny nejsou pouhými sloučeninami jednotlivých chemických prvků a látek. Jsou inteligentními bytostmi, které mají schopnost zvyšovat vědomí na úroveň, na které může dojít k opravdovému uzdravení. V této knize nás bylinářka Pam Montgomery naučí rozpoznat příčiny nemocí a ukáže nám, jak můžeme terapeuticky pracovat s duchy rostlin při léčení a obnovování rovnováhy druhých i sebe samých. Její léčebný postup, který nazývá cestou trojité spirály, zahrnuje práci se srdcem, duší a duchem. V našem moderním životě se čím dál častěji potýkáme s citovými zraněními, ztrátou duše a duchovní podvýživou. Díky uzdravení srdce se spojíme se svou duší a navážeme spojení s Duchem.

A vivid, brutal and enthralling account of the Burma Campaign – one of the most punishing and hard-fought military adventures of World War Two.The Burma Campaign was one of the most punishing and protracted military adventures of World War Two. Impenetrable jungle, poor transport infrastructure, seasonal monsoon rains, as well as famine, disease, snakes and crocodiles all bore heavily on the troops. Against this extraordinary backdrop, Frank McLynn constructs the dramatic story of the four larger-than-life commanders directing the Allied effort: Louis Mountbatten, Orde Wingate, Joseph Stilwell and William Slim, and explores the Campaign through their often stormy relationship. The Burma Campaign is a strikingly original account from one of our most celebrated historians.‘Magnificent...a closely woven, tightly argued and beautifully written account of the extraordinary men and women who were responsible for the higher direction of the war...This book delights, page after page.

A fascinating exploration of the dramatic battles and Allied operations to wrest back control of Burma (Myanmar) from the Japanese.The Allied reconquest of Burma was not part of Allied Grand Strategy in 1944 and 1945. It happened despite it – in particular, because of the dramatic failure of the Japanese invasion of India (Operation U-Go), which ended ignominiously for the Japanese Empire in August 1944. The reconquest was one of the longest campaigns of World War II. It comprised 11 distinct battles and offensives that were part of the overall continuum of operations that resulted in the Allied victory.Written by a foremost expert on the British Army in World War II, this superbly illustrated work details the Allied operations to retake Burma from Japanese control. Accounts of Operation Capital, the capture of Meiktila and Mandalay, the Allied advance in the Arakan, the race for Rangoon, Operation Dracula, the Battle of the Sittang Bend and Japanese breakout operations across the Pegu Yomas are supported by easy to follow 2D maps and 3D diagrams. Among the events brought to life in vivid battlescene artworks are an SOE-led ambush in Operation Character, and the famous Defence of Hill 170 in the Arakan.

Along with several other young conscripts, he would be trained for three years as a servant of the British Empire, overseeing the local policemen in Burma.

“The Widows kept me on the edge of my seat.

Hours after his funeral, a stranger appears at her door. Marvena Whitcomb, a coal miner’s widow, is unaware that Daniel has died, and begs to speak with him about her missing daughter. From miles away but worlds apart, Lily and Marvena’s lives collide as they realize that Daniel was not the man that either of them believed him to be—and that his murder is far more complex than either of them could have imagined. Inspired by the true story of Ohio’s first female sheriff, this is a powerful debut about two women’s search for justice as they take on the corruption at the heart of their community.
