Male Sexuality: The Atlantis Position - Jenny James This is a book about men in bed: what they're like, what they could be like, and how they can sort out what's wrong with them if they care to. The subject is handled with insight, humour and compassion, with no mincing of words, and the views expressed often turn conventional ideas upside down. There is none of the mechanical feel of some sex manuals, nor any of the heady analysis of the psychological treatises. This lady writes with that special authority that comes from knowing her subject intimately and painfully well. In the second section of the book, the men of Atlantis commune speak for themselves; and in the third section - entitled "Bird's Eye View" - the women give tested and tried tips on how to cope from "down under" with their men's hangups. Out of her wide experience in the Atlantis therapy com­mune, Jenny James has written and compiled a unique handbook of creative ways of reacting to and solving the various emotional and sexual problems that arise between men and women. A number of categories are employed: the married man, the virgin, the romeo, the male woman's libber, the Don Juan, the paedophile, the necrophiliac, the sadist, the abstentionist, and many others. Although these patterns reflect real patterns of behaviour, they are not used ponderously, but with humour and grace. Never before has so much wide experience and insight been packed into one volume on the subject of sexuality! Although often very funny, this book provides a very seri­ous, informative and revolutionary look at Every Man's problems. (about 105,000 words) Price: £4.00 Quantity:

The Atlantis Handbook Of Sex Techniques - Jenny James Our reviewer (male) found it impossible to summarise this book, so we'll let a (female) reader do it: Personally, although you are very full on, I do think there’s a place in the world for your sort of uncompromising honesty – in fact the time has come for it. Women have spent too many centuries trying to placate petulant men and getting nowhere. Achieving real communication means doing a lot of shit stirring first – there doesn’t seem to be any polite way to do it. I enjoyed reading the manuscript, laughed a lot with it recognizing the truth of quite a bit of what you’re saying. To be honest, I wish I could have disagreed with you a bit more, then I would have been able to challenge better what you write. Instead, I just spent a lot of time going, “Yes”, “Hmm” “Really?!” However, some of my friends had other ideas! Thank you, you intrepid woman, for being one of the very few to dare to look for and speak the truth when it comes to female sexuality. No, we don't come after 2 minutes of any male's attention and we should stop knocking nails into our own sexual coffins by pretending we do. No wonder the men are confused if we keep doing that. The time is nigh for some real honesty. Achieving that takes guts, something you obviously have in abundance…..So, long may you challenge the lies and may you get the creative rewards your work deserves.

Body And Mind - Various Writers The workings of the human body are something of a mystery to most of us, as is its capacity to repair, all by itself, any minor damage it suffers. The human mind is even more of a mystery and even now, in the early 21st century, we don't really understand its workings. Both the body and the mind can occasionally go wrong and sometimes external help is needed to put the problem right. This book, in its first incarnation, just might include something that helps somebody somewhere overcome their own particular problem. That's what it's for, and we hope it does some good. If you feel that there's a story you'd like to contribute we'd like to hear from you. If you want to remain anonymous we'll respect that. (about 5,000 words) Price: £2.00 Quantity:

Ibrahim - Shahidun Rahman This is an autobiographical account of a mother’s struggle to bring up a child with a learning disorder, Semantic Pragmatic Language Disorder, part of the autistic spectrum of disorders. It highlights the lack of awareness of this condition within society generally and in particular within the Bangladeshi community where autism is not recognised. Written in a simple, straightforward and disarmingly honest style, the book follows Ibrahim Rahman’s progress from his birth to his transition to secondary school. His family are an integral part of the book and Ibrahim's developing relationship with family members is ceaselessly fascinating. The triumphs, tragedies and traumas of the dozen years or so covered by the book are faithfully laid down and one can feel the frustrations and the joys as Ibrahim develops. Those of us whose families are untouched by autism can only admire Shahidun Rahman firstly for the way she has faced up to the challenge, and secondly for recording her experoences honestly and courageously. For those who face family life in the shadow of autism, the author and we hope this book will help and inspire; it is, for all of us, an uplifting book. We hope readers will join with us in wishing a remarkable mother and equally remarkable young man continuing success; it is well deserved. (about 33,000 words) Price: £3.00 Quantity:
