It is an interesting book.
It is NOT a sensationalist book (despite the stupid illustration provided by the publisher to the press) the author is a qualified and practising archaeologist who has made a case for the theory that much of Britain at the time Stonehenge was built was covered in water (as a result of the impact of the Ice Age) he makes a reasonable case for this based on post hole evidence, plus other evidence found -and ignored or just not understood, in the main- by some archaeologists.
He believes that the people of the Stone Age were not the 'ignorant savages' as depicting in some history books, that they had reasonably high level of civilisation. (For which he has some evidence.) And that they were more mobile -by using boats- than might have been thought possible.
To anyone who wonders how it could be that a civilisation's influence could be so totally lost, he points out that within 200 years of the Romans leaving Britain, all of their building knowledge, etc., was lost and that it took a very long time for Britain to regain some of what Rome had. Central heating, for one thing.
There is evidence that they practised medicine and that an early use of part of Stonehenge was for medical treatments. He provides some evidence for this.
He also makes reference to Doggerland and points out that far from the tiny land bridge that some academics still seem to believe in, Britain was once part of mainland Europe, connected by the large landmass now called Doggerland. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doggerland
It is an interesting book and worth buying. Even though the author should have employed someone to polish the text a little!

New diet book, endorsed by Jessica Biel, promotes probiotic nutrition for weight loss and optimal health
Fatigue, headaches, mood swings, weight gain, allergies, joint and muscle pain, inflammation: these are just some of the signs that indicate you may unknowingly be suffering from a ‘silent invader’ –Yeast/Candida.
The resulting imbalance can be a key factor in numerous health problems including chronic fatigue, food allergies, skin disorders, obesity, depression, digestive disorders, and other immune-related diseases. In The Body Ecology Diet: Recovering Your Health and Rebuilding Your Immunity (Hay House, 1st Aug 2011/£12.99), author Donna Gates reveals a groundbreaking programme for recovering your health with probiotic nutrition and simple dietary transitions that can profoundly impact your well-being.
“Health begins in the digestive tract, rampant use of antibiotics and sugar addiction has led to an epidemic known as Candidiasis or an overgrowth of yeast in the body,” explains Gates. “My program is designed to support imbalances in the system with a probiotic rich diet and supplements to improve your inner ecology.” Body Ecology™ emphasises food and detoxification as the foundation for wellness. The resulting benefits are: greater energy, improved digestion, greater focus, a stronger immune system, weight loss and much more.”
Donna Gates is a leading expert in digestive health and has helped hundreds of thousands heal and improve their health. Dealing with her own health issues and frustrated with conventional medicine, she embarked on a long course of study into many different healing concepts, including ancient Chinese medicine, macrobiotics, raw foods, and mega-supplement therapy. Incorporating the most beneficial components of each concept resulted in the Body Ecology system of healing.
In the book, Donna reveals how to restore and maintain the ‘inner ecology’ your body needs to function properly, and eliminate or control the symptoms that rob you of the joy of living. She emphasises simple yet important dietary transitions that can profoundly impact how you feel such as:
• Drastically reducing your intake of carbohydrates and sugars
• The addition of cultured/fermented foods, such as kefir, to your diet
• Changing the quality of fats and oils you consume
The Body Ecology Diet is endorsed by many doctors, nutrition experts and even celebrities tout the benefits. According to actress Jessica Biel, “Body Ecology emphasizes the importance of what we put into our bodies and teaches a way of eating that makes me feel like I am in control of my health and in tune with my body’s intuitive needs. Cultured vegetables and coconut kefir have become essentials, not only in my home, but whenever I travel.”
In her book, Gates shows you, step-by-step, how to eat your way to better health and well-being deliciously, easily, and inexpensively. In this book, you will learn:
• Basic eating principles to help you gain mastery over every health challenge you may encounter
• How to create ideal digestive balance
• Effective cleansing and detoxification methods to restore your system's harmony and support your liver
• How to conquer sugar cravings
• Tips for strengthening your immune system
• Easy meal planning with dozens of delectable recipes, an array of menus, and detailed shopping lists
• Strategies for dining out
The Body Ecology Diet: Recovering Your Health and Rebuilding Your Immunity
Published by Hay House, 1st August 2011, £12.99 pb and as an e-book.
In October 2011, Donna Gates will release The Baby Boomer Diet (Hay House) which incorporates the main principles of the Body Ecology philosophy for anti-aging and longevity.

We Live Forever - The Story Of The Woman With X-Ray Eyes
by Anne Owen and Peter Valentine
Reading 'We Live Forever' is said to be like watching the trees grow green in springtime. It lifts the spirit, and it lifts our awareness of the world beyond the senses.
'We Live Forever - The story of the Woman with X-Ray Eyes' is the fast-moving story of a highly gifted remote viewer Anne Owen who has been the subject of a great many press articles. Anne's remarkable X-Ray vision and extra-sensory experiences have had a remarkable impact on her life. At the age of twelve her remote viewing allowed her to avert a serious accident to the car in which she is travelling with her father.
This remarkable tale also describes Anne's development in aura seeing and the book includes instructions for everyone on how to achieve this for themselves. The story leads on to Anne's UFO experiences and she describes her involvement with a UFO crash, a Man in Black, and a young UFO abductee.
Next her interest in reincarnation develops, followed by a dramatic telepathic first meeting with her husband-to-be. Finding him to be her match in many areas of remote viewing, her husband Peter recounts his own development finally achieving his goal of finding documented proof of a former lifetime of his. Together they describe case-histories of people's former lives, showing the influence these can have upon us all.
Anne's exceptional ability to communicate with the discarnate is illustrated through case histories. A detailed analysis follows of how her astonishing X-Ray vision functions inside people's bodies with descriptions of the healing of many ailments including an African skin disease the cure for which was unknown to medical science.
Her clients have ranged from princesses and Heads of State to Ronnie Kray of Gangland fame. Finding herself at one of these parties which involved the plotting of a military coup to overthrow a Far-Eastern government, Anne warned the people involved saying if you go through with this there will be blood on your doorstep. Her advice was ignored and some weeks later television coverage showed images on the screen of the same man lying assassinated on the pathway in front of his house.
This amazing story goes on to cover some fascinating case-histories of crimes solved by this means, and the rescuing of three men trapped four decks down underwater in a sunken ferry (the "Herald of Free Enterprise") by remote viewing which was reported in the national press.
Anne relates stories of her involvement with some of her extremely wealthy high-flying clients, explaining how people can discover some of their own former lives; ending with a literally out-of-this-world perspective on the foundation of Western religion as some see it.
