| Title: A World without States |
| By (author): Dago Steenis |
| ISBN10-13: 9463380361 : 9789463380362 |
| Humanity is still living in the transitioning period from an animalistic to a humane existence. This is characterized by matters including war, violence and inhumanity. It is not surprising. Today the entire surface of the earth is divided into states, and communities that only care for their own interests. It is exactly this system of states that obstructs a fast and effective approach to large problems such as lasting peace, security and the habitability of the world. They are, after all, global problems. The system of states divides humanity into hostile units and has established a political barrier for a solution to the problem. There is only one solution for this problem and that is ending the sovereignty of the 193 states. Retain the right for private political policies, take away the ability to bully and threaten other countries, to own armed forces, to commit inhumane crimes. But who should govern us? A world government! A government that merely focuses on world problems. Because the solution to these problems is more important than local issues. Without a global authority humanity is left empty-handed. Dago Steenis (1925) wrote a remarkably positive book, something that is actually more than a book, it is a thought that can be passed on. Not like a pamphlet, but based on his speech. According to Steenis history cannot be a linear concept, not a static process, without progress. On the contrary. History precisely demonstrates that we have a reason to be optimistic, developments of mankind are evolutionary, and an increasing form of human growth and potency. Since the emergence of culture man gradually replaced natural evolution by cultural evolution. |

| Title: Adoption Handbook |
| Sub-title: Stress During the Adoption Period |
| By (author): Geeri Bakker |
| ISBN10-13: 9059113152 : 9789059113152 |
| Each adoption is a unique event for the people who are personally involved, or for those who feel connected to the parents-to-be. The adoption period takes you to a new world and can wear you down emotionally if you are not prepared for what can be expected. It is not the regular pregnancy with which some people like to compare it. It is a pregnancy between cold bureaucracy on one side and the daily feelings of vulnerable tenderness on the other. Many books have been written about the ins and outs of pregnancies but there was never a book to prepare oneself for that very special time we call adoption. Geeri Bakker takes you there with her positive attitude and her sense of humor. She takes you along the unpredictable, uncomfortable and sometimes seemingly endless path that is the adoption procedure. THE ADOPTION HANDBOOK teaches adoptive parents-to-be how to face stress in its many appearances during the sometimes dark and winding road that leads to their adoptive child. To illustrate the book, Geeri Bakker shares her own story of the procedures that she and her husband endured when adopting their two children. It is not the (Dutch) procedure that makes this story so touching and at times breathtaking. It is the way that stress burrows into hearts that desperately wish to adopt a child; something that anyone going through an adoption procedure will recognize. THE ADOPTION HANDBOOK helps adoptive parents acknowledge their feelings of stress during their long-term 'pregnancy' and deal with them: facing the main goal, and feeling energetically able, both physically and mentally, to 'conceive' their child when the time is right. It is only normal that pregnant couples gather information to prepare themselves. So now it is time that adoptive parents prepare themselves, as well. For the well-being of this special child, given to you to have, hold, love, cherish, and to let it grow and grow up in your family. |

| Sub-title: The Practical Science of "Reaching 120 & Staying 60" |
| By (author): Professor James Defares, MD, PhD |
| ISBN10-13: 9461537336 : 9789461537331 |
| This is perhaps the most important book of your life.Why? Because it offers a practical science-based guide to reach 120 and stay 60'. Is this feasible? Scientists have calculated that girls born today may be expected to live 100 years on average. Even now everyone (unless you're very old) can add 20 years to his/her life expectancy and 30 years to his/her quality years' by following the guidelines in this book. The book shows that the currently accepted normal diet' accelerates the aging process and greatly increases the risk of cancer. It presents the anti-aging diet', which, among other things, restricts the intake of carbohydrates (bread, etc.). It answers all your questions about health and aging, among which, What is the biological cause of aging? How can this be slowed down or even reversed?' What is the significance and usefulness of taking supplements? How do I protect myself against cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer's, heart attacks, strokes and even loss of libido? This book discusses the latest scientific developments at Nobel prize level to slow down and partially reverse the process of aging by keeping your body cells younger. As is fully explained this is achieved by DNA rejuvenation' through activating the miracle enzyme' in your cells, telomerase. It is shown, on the basis of the incredible results obtained by the natural substance C60 in animal experiments that a life expectancy of 160 years is no longer science-fiction. This book will profoundly affect the course of your life. |

| Title: Battle for Ginkel Heath Near Ede |
| Sub-title: 17 & 18 September 1944 |
| By (author): C E H J Verhoef |
| ISBN10-13: 9059113861 : 9789059113862 |
| Even fifty-nine years after the actual fighting the Battle of Arnhem still represents a most telling defeat for a great many people. The fierce and bloody fighting for the bridge across the river Rhine near the capital of the Dutch province of Gelderland is perhaps one of the best-known episodes in the history of the Second World War. Scores of books, newspaper articles, documentary and even some feature films have been dedicated to the planning and execution of Field Marshal Montgomery's plan of attack. As the liberation of the part of Holland above the great rivers only seemed a matter of time, its tragic outcome had traumatic consequences for all who participated in the fighting. Tragically, the crossing of the Rhine appeared to be a bridge too far'. |

| Title: Battle for the Hague 1940 |
| By (author): E H Brongers |
| ISBN10-13: 9059113071 : 9789059113077 |
| This is the story of the first great air landing operation in history. The plan conceived by Adolf Hitler to capture The Hague by surprise, was carried out as part of the Blitzkrieg offensive in western Europe in May 1940. It became a dismal failure. It also became the only defeat of importance the Germans suffered during their campaign. The so successful course of their offensive, crowned by the surrender of France, enabled them initially to keep silent about the set-back or to present it as a side show. Only after the Second World War it was possible to throw more light on the fighting that took place in the Dutch polders. The defeat of the only German air landing division had not been without consequences. Hitler's enthusiasm for this new arm had diminished, so that its development was slowed down, an advantage for the Allies. Even greater than the heavy losses in air landing troops and paratroopers, were the gaps blown in the ranks of the German air transport fleet. According to authoritative German sources, the Germans never recovered from this blow during the Second World War. An invasion in England thus became a hazardous and difficult to carry out operation; the plans to attack Gibraltar and Malta underwent important changes and were finally cancelled. |

| Title: Borobudur |
| Sub-title: Buddha's Garden of Peace & Healing |
| Edited by: Laura Lau, Sarah Staines |
| ISBN10-13: 946338085X : 9789463380850 |
| A spiritual journey with Lama Gangchen through the flower-fields of love, compassion, harmony and joy Centuries ago in Java, Indonesia there was a king from the Sailendra dynasty, who called an architect, Gunadharma, to build an improbable construction. Hundreds of artists and workers may have taken three generations to realise Borobudur. The temple then saw the light only for a short period before being overwhelmed by volcanic lava, ash and jungle vegetation. A thousand years later the temple, which in fact is a three dimensional mandala, was excavated and restored in phases. Scientists and scholars continue to debate the meaning of the five Dhyani Buddhas and of the thousands of statues, images and symbols found on the galleries of the nine-storey stupa. In the last few decades, the Tibetan Lama Healer T Y S Gangchen Rinpoche has gradually shown that the stupa mandala is a guide for the path to enlightenment according to all Buddhist traditions, particularly for Tibetan Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism. In the nineties, he has revealed the NgalSo Self-Healing meditation method, based on the Borobudur mandala. This book conveys over fifty spiritual tales of pilgrimage with Lama Gangchen to the Borobudur stupa mandala. These personal stories are about the meaning of the temple, the relationship with the surrounding environment, mystical experiences during retreats, the atmosphere of Borobudur, the power of healing, personal growth, the relationship with the guru and the path of Buddhist meditation. Many aspects of Tibetan Buddhism are presented in an accessible way. Those who plug into the ancient mystical wisdom of the Tibetan Buddhist lamas experience love, growth and magic. When people are with Lama Gangchen at Borobudur, miracles happen -- external and internal. But the ultimate aim of this garden of peace and healing is to cultivate ones inner garden of love, compassion, harmony and joy. Borobudur shows you the way. |

| Title: Call to Socialism |
| By (author): Gustav Landauer |
| ISBN10-13: 9464249978 : 9789464249972 |
| The revolution has come, though I did not expect it this way. War has come, just as I expected; and in that war I soon saw defeat and revolution relentlessly approaching. With a truly profound bitterness I state: it is now clear that I was essentially correct in this Call for Socialism and in articles in my journal The Socialist. A political revolution in Germany had not yet occurred; now it has been completed, and only the revolutionaries inability to construct the new economy, in particular, as well as the new freedom and self-determination, could be held responsible if a reaction should bring about the reestablishment of new privileged powers. |
