Book SynopsisThe Essential Guide to buying the Lotus Elan of your dreams, this book will guide you through all you need to know. The Lotus Elan and Plus 2 are the definitive classic Lotus Sports cars. Small, light, and powered by Lotus's own Twin Cam engine, these were and are fast, great handling sports cars with a Grand Prix winning pedigree. With a winning formula of glass fibre bodyshell, and simple sheet steel backbone chassis, the Elan was an affordable replacement for the expensive and exotic glass fibre monocoque Lotus Elite, and became the mainstay of the Lotus road car range throughout the 1960s and into the 1970s. First introduced as an open two-seater in 1962, and as a Coupe in 1966, the Elan was available as a do-it-yourself `kit' car or in factory assembled form, and was refined through the 1960s, culminating in the famous Sprint models of 1971, with the big valve 130bhp Twin Cam engine. The widened and stretched 2+2 Elan with its vestigial rear seats - named, unsurprisingly, the Plus 2 - was introduced in 1967, followed by the higher-spec Plus 2S in 1969, which was the first Elan not available in kit form. The Plus 2S 130 gained the Sprint specification engine in 1971, and the final Elan was the Plus 2S 130/5 of 1972. Just over 9000 Elans were produced between 1962 and 1973, while just over 5000 Plus 2 were produced between 1967 and 1974. This book has been written to provide the prospective owner with all the information they need to establish if an Elan or Plus 2 is for them, and what to look for when viewing an example. All aspects of the cars are examined, including paperwork, mechanical issues, bodywork and interior with many photos of example cars to assist in the assessment of an individual car, and understand the implications of many of the common problems that a car can exhibit. The author is a Lotus enthusiast, and has been working on and writing about classic Lotuses for a number of years.Trade ReviewI think this book is excellent and good value. The photographs are informative and well reproduced. - Historic Lotus Register.

Book SynopsisIn Rich Dad's Conspiracy of the Rich, Robert Kiyosaki explores why many people are waiting for the political and financial systems of the world to change. He shares his opinion that it's easier to change yourself than to wait for our leaders and systems to change. Is it time for you to take control of your money and your financial future? Is it time to find out what those who control the financial world don't want you to know? Do you want complex and confusing financial concepts to be made simple? If you answered "yes" to these questions, then this book is for you. In 1971, after President Nixon took the U.S. dollar off the gold standard, the rules of money changed. And today, money is no longer money. That is why the first new rule of money is Money is knowledge. Robert Kiyosaki wrote this book for those who want to increase their financial knowledge and take control of their lives. According to Kiyosaki: We cannot see the world of the future with our eyes. "The world of the future is invisible, and we have to see it with our minds." Kiyosaki sees a new economy and new definitions of wealth. He believes that there will be new millionaires and billionaires. Money will be made at ultrahigh speed. The question is: Will you be among the new rich, or the new poor? The old economy, the economy as we knew it, is not coming back. A new economy is being born, an economy that will be led by kids born after 1990, young people who only know the invisible, high-speed world of the future.

Book SynopsisPart of the TED series: When Strangers Meet Our lives are increasingly insular. We are in a hurry, our heads are down, minds elsewhere, we hear only the voices we already recognize and rarely take the effort to experience something or someone new. When Strangers Meet argues for the pleasures and transformative possibilities of talking to people you don’t know. Talking to a stranger pulls you into a shared humanity, it’s a source of creative energy, it opens your world, it cements your relationship to the places you live and work and play, it’s a beautiful interruption in the steady routines of our lives. Talking to strangers wakes you up. But who is a stranger? Many of us have a deep-seated belief that strangers are dangerous. That idea cripples us and prevents us from connecting with the wider world.

Book SynopsisNew York Times Bestseller The long-awaited next book from actress and New York Times bestselling author of The Rural Diaries, Hilarie Burton Morgan. Through memoir essays and magical practices, Grimoire Girl connects us to the enchantment that exists inside us all.Since childhood, Hilarie Burton Morgan has felt the call to record, keep, and catalogue life in all its strange wonder. It was a whimsical habit, with no clear goal. And then, when she became a mother, the importance of all that collecting snapped into focus. In an effort to patchwork together an anthology of traditions, curiosity, and magical thinking that she could pass down, Burton Morgan realized she was crafting a grimoire. In her most intimate book yet, Burton Morgan shares how she’s creating an inheritance of mischief and magic that will outlive her. What’s more, she shows readers how they too can look at the elements of their lives and collect the pieces into a tangible collection of a lifetime of learning. Because in its purest form, a grimoire was a guide to keep you alive.Like the grimoires of old, full of life-saving wisdom, these pages record the people, places, ideas and habits that have kept Burton Morgan alive, in her signature voice that is at once honest, witty, and charming. Accompanied by whimsical two-color illustrations by Olivia Faust, the book also includes Simple Spells, which are ways to bring magic into your daily life: create an altar that delights and inspires, practice candle magic and poetry spells, make an oracle deck, or channel your inner kitchen witch with recipes and potions.So begin creating your own inheritance, take a long look inward and decide...What wisdom will be written on the pages of your Grimoire?Trade Review“There’s a new reason to know and love Hilarie Burton Morgan, as she’s just written a lovely, thoughtful, and tad weird book called Grimoire Girl, full of sweet, funny, Burton-esque anecdotes and stories.” — Scary Mommy

This practical, rich guide will surely inspire your angelic connection to grow from strength to strength.” * CALISTA, author of The Female Archangels Oracle and founder of Angel Healing® *“Alexandra Wenman is a wonderful messenger for the Angels, and her book Archangel Alchemy Healing is a comprehensive read covering so many different aspects and facets of working with the angelic kingdom. This book is for anyone interested in calling on the Angels for world service or if you want to know how to open inner doorways to experience the angelic kingdom.” * Steve Ahnael Nobel, former director of Alternatives, London; creator of Soul Matrix Healing; and aut *“Alexandra Wenman’s Archangel Alchemy Healing is a timely contribution to the evolution of humanity. The book sheds light and clarity on the three titular themes (Archangels, alchemy, and healing) while guiding the reader along the experience of the sometimes narrow path of light, accompanied by the heavens but also fraught with challenges. Wenman does not shy away from the more difficult task of recognizing ‘false light’ both without and within and helps the reader strengthen inner knowing and discernment at a time when it could not be more important: these times of great change and the efforts of lower energies to obfuscate the light and love that are here to support us. The channeled messages of this book offer hope, uplifting and carrying the reader beyond doubt to the loving accompaniment of the angelic realm, and the exercises allow the anchoring of that hope in direct experience. A guide for the path!” * Kathryn Hudson, author of Inviting Angels into Your Life and Discover Your Crystal Family *“Archangel Alchemy Healing is a masterpiece. It is probably one of the most comprehensive books ever found in regard to the Archangels and all things associated with them. Not only is it a font of knowledge, but it also shows how people can connect and use the powerful energy of the Archangels to heal and help make a positive difference in the world. Alexandra lives, breathes, and walks the path of the Archangel Alchemist--leaving a trail of magic behind her wherever she goes. This is definitely a book not to be missed.” * Lorraine Flaherty, founder of Inner Freedom Therapy and author of Healing with Past Life Therapy *“A divine read, packed full of insight, wisdom, and knowledge to help us connect to the angelic realms. In her relatable manner, Alexandra has written a book that can truly empower those of us open to healing and who are on a spiritual pathway to self-realization. Highly recommended.” * Claire Broad, medium, spiritual teacher, and author of What the Dead Are Dying to Teach Us *“Alexandra Wenman’s Archangel Alchemy Healing leads us seekers through imaginal portals of light as her angelic beings--like the alchemical images of old--carry us into the inner realm brimming with messages of empowerment, loving support, and guidance. Drawing on angelic iconography, this beautifully written text opens to an imaginal realm, taking the reader on a journey of discovery, beyond the territory defined by word or form into the inner landscape of the soul. Archangel Alchemy Healing is sure to be warmly welcomed by spiritual seekers everywhere.” * Janet Piedilato, Ph.D., author of The Mystical Dream Tarot and The Dream Gate *“Alexandra Wenman’s book Archangel Alchemy Healing is a transformative guidebook to the mystical, angelic realm that exists all around and within us. If you are seeking to understand your true spiritual nature and navigate the unfolding process of divine energy in your life, this is the book you need. You will discover the profound message that we are all ‘Earth Angels’ and that love is our only task.” * Karen Wyatt, M.D., author of 7 Lessons for Living from the Dying *“Alexandra Wenman offers a bridge between the seen and unseen with such clarity, grace, and eloquence. Archangel Alchemy Healing is a book for the Quantum Age and beyond, with the Archangels providing leading-edge guidance to create a new way of integrated healing and well-being. Thank you, Alexandra, for bringing forth their genius and love so powerfully to help us through these transformational times.” * Stephanie Lodge, “The Hug Angel,” peace ambassador, founder of Angelic Academy, and auth *Table of ContentsForeword by Colm HollandChannelled Message from the Angelic Hierarchies of LightLiving with Angels -- A Prologue PART ONEHow to Become an Archangel Messenger Chapter 1: The Purpose of Archangel Alchemy Our Evolution and Becoming Human Angels How Does Archangel Alchemy Work?

Book SynopsisIn The Heart of Prayer, Rupert Spira elaborates on the understanding that the peace and happiness we seek can be found in the knowing of our own being. Drawing on the wisdom of Being Aware of Being Aware and Being Myself, this new volume explores another essential aspect of meditation-that which is known as union with God and traditionally approached through prayer. The belief shared by most people that we are a separate person, a tiny part of a vast world, leads us to project the idea of God beyond the world, at an infinite distance from ourselves. As this person, we enter into a devotional relationship with God, we surrender to God. When, through an understanding of our self as unlimited, intimate being, God's being, the sole reality of all that is, we see that we are not separate from God. Our longing for God is found to be God's longing for us. The meditations in this volume are followed by dialogues in which analogies and practical examples help to clarify the teaching. Throughout The Heart of Prayer, Spira interlaces his contemplations with his own invocations-as well as teachings, prayers, and poetry gathered from centuries of great works and sacred texts-creating a rich experience of the unity of the perennial non-dual understanding.
