    Reverence takes on a new meaning in this original memoir of an avid gardener walking the Camino de Santiago.
		 
The Camino de Santiago has been a journey for pilgrims for more than 1,000 years, testing—to varying degrees—their spirit, faith, and physical endurance. Lyndon Penner’s attention lies elsewhere. A renowned gardener and lover of literature, he revels in the plants, trees, and flowers that tell the history of the people and ecology of northern Spain.
		 
Brimming with wry observations—of nature, himself, and other pilgrims on the road—The Way of the Gardener reveals the beauty and the darkness of the human condition while underscoring the deeply fascinating nature of nature itself. This textured work makes for perfect armchair—or garden—reading.

    Software Engineering encompasses a methodical approach to developing and maintaining software systems. It involves several key phases, each crucial to ensuring the success of the project. 
  
During the Requirements Analysis phase, software engineers collaborate with stakeholders to understand and document the system's needs and constraints. This ensures a clear understanding of what the software should accomplish. 
  
In the Design phase, software architects and designers create a detailed blueprint for the system, defining its structure, components, interfaces, and interactions. Design decisions made here lay the groundwork for the implementation phase. 
  
Implementation involves translating the design specifications into executable code using programming languages, frameworks, and libraries. Developers adhere to coding standards and best practices to ensure code quality and maintainability.

    Each of us is a conscious individual living in the world. Very occasionally we have experiences so bizarre we have difficulty understanding what occurred. The Lantern in the Skull explores a selection of these unsettling yet intriguing experiences. 
A camera previously in perfect working order which inexplicably won’t photograph fetishes in an African village chief’s basement provides the first step on Hugh Major’s engaging survey. Using his own experiences as a springboard, he considers telepathy, psychic perceptions, psychedelic insights, artistic transports, near death experiences and much else. 
The nature of consciousness itself is a conundrum, and the evidence for marginal experiences remains contentious. Hugh Major provides  timely snapshot of current research into ‘marginal zones of the extraordinary.’ In precise, jargon-free language, he indicates the territory being explored and outlines major directions researchers are travelling. There are many captivating and surprising discoveries along the way. 
Dean Radin PhD, chief scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences in the US, says: 
“The Lantern in the Skull offers an engaging meditation on consciousness, that clear light that seemingly lives inside your head, stubbornly resisting materialistic explanations. Author Hugh Major provides a clearly written and well-informed study of the increasingly critical need to see beyond a simple clockwork model of reality.”

    "I'm sorry, it's cancer."
Four words with the power to upend your entire existence and thrust you into an emotional whirlwind. As these words unravel, they unleash trauma, chaos, and threats to every facet of life – from health and body image to relationships, job, career, and future dreams. Thoughts swirl: What did I do so wrong to deserve this? How am I going to survive? Is my body going to be mutilated?
Agalia Baker, a retired advanced practice nurse with over forty years of experience, found herself shockingly unprepared when diagnosed with breast cancer. Searching for solace from the emotional hell she endured and unable to find answers, she took it upon herself to write the book she desperately needed during that challenging time. The result is an irreverent blend of healthcare insights and a personal journey seen through her eyes.
As Baker grapples with the emotional aftermath of her diagnosis, treatment, and failed reconstructive surgery, she unveils how the losses incurred due to breast cancer are intricately tied to the grieving process. Harnessing this information and understanding the body's natural defenses in response to threat is vital to withstanding the challenges facing someone in the midst of their own journey. This knowledge becomes a lifeline, empowering individuals to withstand the storm and make informed decisions during such a pivotal time.
