This book presents a unique method for working with runes, blending deep philosophy with practical application. Once hidden and shrouded in secrecy, Stav now emerges to share its timeless wisdom, offering readers the chance to explore layers of the runes previously inaccessible to the modern world. Stav appeals to individuals seeking personal growth and self-discovery. Stav offers spiritual seekers a connection to Scandinavian traditions and martial arts practitioners a distinctive system shaped by Nordic heritage. Stav is a rich and deep tradition that shares meaningful insights to those drawn to the mysteries of the runes or Norse mythology.<br/><br/> Even though Stav has contemporary been labelled as a martial art, at its core, it is a Scandinavian educational tradition with the aim of fostering growth and personal development. Through its integration of runes and its own framework of Norse mythology, Stav gives the practitioners profound insights. While Stav encompasses a deeply spiritual and philosophical perspective, it remains non-dogmatic.<br/><br/> The martial arts training within Stav promotes both physical and mental well-being, showing parallels to what is today known as mindfulness or breathwork, Stav can also be seen as a Scandinavian counterpart to yoga. For those seeking a connection to Scandinavian native spirituality or wishing to practice a martial form deeply rooted in Nordic cultural heritage, Stav offers a meaningful and authentic path. This book helps you to take the first steps on your journey and discover the wisdom and balance that Stav can bring to your life.

<i>All You Need is Love </i>is a ground-breaking oral history of the Beatles and how it all came to an end. Based on never-before-published or heard interviews with Paul McCartney, Yoko Ono, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, and their families, friends, and business associates, this is a landmark book, containing stunning new revelations, about the biggest band the world has ever seen.<br/><br/>In 1980-1981 former COO of Apple Corp, Peter Brown and author Steven Gaines interviewed everyone in the Beatles' inner circle and included a small portion of the transcripts in their international bestselling book <i>The Love You Make</i>, which spent four months on the <i>New York Times </i>bestseller list. But left in their archives was a treasure trove of unique and candid interviews that they chose not to publish, until now. A powerful work assembled through honest, intimate, sometimes contradictory and always fascinating testimony,<i> All You Need is Love </i>is a one-of-a-kind insight into the final days, weeks, months and years of the Beatles phenomenon.

<i>The saying goes that "God only gives you what you can handle." Well God didn't grow up in my atheist, Wiccan, fame-laden, oversexed, teetotalling, drug-free, cloistered, chaotic, non-communicative, workaholic, feral-feeling house.'</i><br/><br/>For Moon Unit, daughter of musician Frank Zappa and his 'manager', Gail, processing a life so unique, so punctuated by the whims of creative urges, the tastes of popular culture and the calculus of celebrity, has at times been eviscerating. But it is her deep sense of humour and unshakeable humility that keeps her - and this memoir - pinned to the ground.<br/><br/>A child-star at age 14 after her accidental international hit single (recorded with her father), 'Valley Girl', turned her into a reluctant celebrity, Moon Unit Zappa's life has been utterly extraordinary from her birth in 1967 into a family that was already blessed/cursed as music royalty thanks to the acknowledged genius of Frank. But what are the consequences of growing up in a family who spend most of their time naked arguing about sexual/extra-marital liaisons and practising white magic in a free-for-all state of nonconformist, virtuoso abandon?<br/><br/><i>Earth to Moon</i> is a reckoning with self-esteem, the ghosts of the past and a mother and a father who, in the process of leaving their mark upon on the world, scarred their first daughter on home soil. Brutally self-deprecating and funny as hell, it belies a rose-tinted perspective on the 70s and 80s west coast American scene, from within the belly of the beast of the rock and roll world.

<strong>From the <em>Sunday Times</em> No. 1 Bestselling Author</strong> <br/><br/> <strong>In <em>On Democracies and Death Cults</em>, bestselling author Douglas Murray argues how no less than the future of the Western World is at stake in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.</strong> <br/><br/>Drawing from intensive on-the-ground reporting in Israel, Gaza and Lebanon, Murray presents a compelling case that places the latest violence in its proper historical context. He takes readers on a harrowing journey through the aftermath of the 7th October massacre, piecing together the exclusive accounts from victims, survivors and even the terrorists responsible for the atrocities. <br/><br/><em>On Democracies and Death Cults</em> illustrates how Israel's commitment to fundamental Western values - capitalism, individual rights, democracy, and reason - has made it a beacon of progress in a region dominated by authoritarianism and extremism. Murray contrasts Israel's principles with the ideology of Hamas, which openly proclaims its love of death over life. If left unchecked, Murray argues, this misplaced Western sympathy could embolden forces that seek to undermine democratic values and perpetuate a culture of violence. <br/><br/>Deeply reasoned, clear-eyed and grounded in fact, <em>On Democracies and Death Cults </em>is a gripping and essential read for all who seek to understand the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and its implications for the future of democracy - and for the world itself.
