Written for both professionals and lay-people, this book explains the difference in treatment that one should apply to anxiety-related disorders, rather than to a dysfunctional or diseased brain. Employing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy principles, Dr. Catchpole leads the reader through proven, clearly explained steps to conquer anxiety. "As a medical specialist one often sees patients with somatic symptoms for whom one suspects there is no physical explanation. After organic pathology has been ruled out, they are returned to the referral source in the hope that the reassurance of negative investigations will suffice. This is not always the case, however, and I suspect that a great many of these unfortunate patients are manifesting signs of an underlying anxiety disorder. Dr. Catchpole in this book gives a step-by-step approach to anxiety disorders which will be of great value to physician and patient alike in tackling this difficult and frustrating situation. The book is written in an easy-to-understand conversational style and clearly makes the case for a psychological rather than pharmacological approach to the management of anxiety. Strongly recommended!" : Dr. Gordon McLauchlan

This is a great read. It is a vivid and engaging depiction of a child and his mother torn from home after home, a child whose parents live a cold war with each other and how their lives all change when John, his sister Elizabeth and his mother move in 1940 from England back to Victoria, BC, to live in Admirals House.Young John gives us a child's innocent view of both historical and intimate details of the life of a war-child. He struggles to make sense of the vast struggles between good and evil and the changes brought to his life, to his friends at school and to his sense of how it is happening all around him. These changes are reflected in the things he worries about, the kinds of war games he and his friends create, and the growing tensions between his parents.

For sixteen years under Margot's influence, and touched by her love, I grew and thrived, producing and publishing a variety of books. In my painting, despite our totally different styles and techniques, Margot would suggest subtle touches of colour and shading that brought added dimension and perspective to mountains, trees and figures. Margot offered encouragement and praise but was not afraid to admonish when needed. With Margot, I slowly learned to be in the now, and to accept people who thought and believed differently than I. She taught me to see other points-of-view and to treasure people as they are. Her beliefs were quite different from my own, yet she supported mine to the point of accompanying me to church on numerous occasions. I had never before known someone who not only believed in me but taught me to believe in myself.

In his saga of a probable life of Quetzalcoatl of Mexico, Ben Nuttall-Smith gives life to scenes of Vikings, Irish monks, North American early peoples and Toltecs through his painter's eyes via his much research into local flora and fauna. His action-filled, often lethal encounters with varying dialogues spin from poems to prayers in Latin and other rituals, until the reader's imagination is fed enough to feel seasick on the Atlantic, or taste strange herbs, or be in awe of feather decorations. Nuttall-Smith is instructive and entertaining. Bernice Lever. Prize-winning poet and authorThis far-reaching novel eloquently displays the author's love of history and storytelling. Mad God of the Toltecs rampages from monastic life in the old world to exotic practices on a distant continent. En route the reader is treated to the lifestyles of impoverished Irish monks, marauding Vikings, the first nations in a new world and the early civilizations of what would one day become Central America. Ben Nuttall-Smith has crafted a fascinating tale of enormous scope.Anthony Dalton. Past National President Canadian Authors Association Author of numerous non-fiction books about the sea and about exploration

Employing rich language and tight narratives, George has provided us with a collection that offers a unique, perhaps even at times other worldly, perspective. Utilising styles ranging from poetry to screen plays, and everything in between, these slice-of-of life tales are punctuated throughout with George's dry sense of humour. As to be expected, he covers ground both philosophical and contemplative, offering up a smorgasbord of insightful and thought provoking stories. People from elsewhere, snapshots of lives in passing, immigrants and aboriginals; the mosaic of Canada and life in Vancouver are all lightly interwoven throughout the collection.:James Harrold
