  In the Shadow of Enlightenment is the gripping story of Carroll’s childhood inside the Osho Rajneesh cult—one of the most controversial spiritual movements of the 20th century. While in the commune, Sarito was submerged in a world where devotion and freedom clashed with manipulation, sexual misconduct, and neglect. This was the life she knew until the movement collapsed amid scandal and criminal charges in 1985, when sixteen-year-old Sarito was thrust into a society she knew little about. 
  Now, decades later, after battling shame, fear, and self-doubt, Sarito breaks her silence to expose the abuse, exploitation, and disillusionment she endured in the Rajneesh community. She stands up against this formidable spiritual institution that promised liberation while concealing dark secrets behind its facade of love and joy. With raw honesty and heart-wrenching clarity, she recounts her fight to reclaim her identity, confront the community’s betrayal, and heal on her own terms. It is a powerful story of survival, resilience, courage, and hard-won freedom. 
  In the Shadow of Enlightenment is a profoundly moving exposé about the hidden dangers lurking behind charismatic leaders and spiritual movements. It will inspire and challenge you to question where you place your trust.

  Was Bowie an aloof and unavailable artist, or a 'Starman' who descended to bring good news to the masses…a chameleon?
  David Bowie: The Collector teases out the elements which Bowie used to build his success: his profound sense of artifice, his ability to tap into the zeitgeist of his times and his gift for gathering ideas and influences from a variety of sources and rearranging them to produce not only new perspectives but also brand-new ideas. Revealed by the testimony of his closest friends and partners we see Bowie with humour, grace and humility – a highly focused Bowie – borrowing and combining ideas from multiple sources and creating new visions.
  Praise for this book.
  'A gripping read and a must for Bowie fans. Packed with intricate, well-researched and little-known detail on the multi-dimensional swirl around Bowie's creative genius.' Victoria Broackes, co-curator of 'David Bowie is' (V&A)
  'There are scores of books about the legend that is David Bowie which investigates his life, body and soul, but this dives deep into the DNA of a polymath, a performer, a poet and a prophet whose story captivated generations and will continue to enchant for those yet to come.' Robin Morgan, Media Director.

  By the author of the award-winning best seller, 'The Russian Five.' 
  The 'Grind Line' is one of the most successful units in hockey history, and without peer among so-called fourth lines, for those who insist on numbering them. Kris Draper, flanked by Kirk Maltby and Joe Kocur, and later Darren McCarty, deserve their rightful place in Detroit shoulder-to-shoulder with the Production Line, the most famous forward unit in National Hockey League history: Gordie Howe and Ted Lindsay alongside Sid Abel, and later Alex Delvecchio, four men whose numbers hang from the rafters at Little Caesers Arena. This book argues,  and has the receipts to prove it, that the Grind Line was every bit as important in its era as the Production Line was in the dynastic 1950s. 
  'Those four guys, they made all the difference,' says Scotty Bowman, the Hockey Hall of Fame coach who wrote the foreword to this book
