FROM THE #1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF WORLD WAR Z\'TRUE TERROR\' Guardian \'NAIL CHOMPING SUSPENSE\' Total Film ______________________________________As the ash and chaos from Mount Rainier\'s eruption swirled and finally settled, the story of the Greenloop massacre has passed unnoticed, unexamined . . . until now.But the journals of resident Kate Holland, recovered from the town\'s bloody wreckage, capture a tale too harrowing - and too earth-shattering in its implications - to be forgotten.In these pages, Max Brooks brings Kate\'s extraordinary account to light for the first time, faithfully reproducing her words alongside his own extensive investigations into the massacre and the beasts behind it, once thought legendary but now known to be terrifyingly real.Kate\'s is a tale of unexpected strength and resilience, of humanity\'s defiance in the face of a terrible predator\'s gaze, and inevitably, of savagery and death.Yet it is also far more than that.Because if what Kate Holland saw in those days is real, then we must accept the impossible. We must accept that the creature known as Bigfoot walks among us - and that it is a beast of terrible strength and ferocity.Part survival narrative, part bloody horror tale, part scientific journey into the boundaries between truth and fiction, this is a Bigfoot story as only Max Brooks could chronicle it - and like none you\'ve ever read before.______________________________________\'Unputdownable\' John Marrs, bestselling author of The One\'A bloody good read\' Andrew Hunter-Murray, bestselling author of The Last Day\'A masterful blend of laugh-out-loud social satire and stuff-your-fist-in-your-mouth horror.

In this pioneering book Rupert Sheldrake shows how science helps validate seven practices on which all religions are built, and which are part of our common human heritage:· Meditation· Gratitude· Connecting with nature· Relating to plants· Rituals· Singing and chanting· Pilgrimage and holy places. The effects of spiritual practices are now being investigated scientifically as never before, and many studies have shown that religious and spiritual practices generally make people happier and healthier. Rupert Sheldrake summarizes the latest scientific research on what happens when we take part in these practices, and suggests ways that readers can explore these fields for themselves. For those who are religious, Science and Spiritual Practices will illuminate the evolutionary origins of their own traditions and give a new appreciation of their power. For the non-religious, this book will show how the core practices of spirituality are accessible to all, even if they do not subscribe to a religious belief system. This is a book for anyone who suspects that in the drive towards radical secularism, something valuable has been left behind. Rupert Sheldrake believes that by opening ourselves to the spiritual dimension we may find the strength to live more wholesome and fulfilling lives.
