Swim Better
A Guide to Greater Efficiency for Swimmers and Instructors
By Bob Colyer, P.E.D., CSCAA Master Coach
ISBN: 978-1-883378-68-4 Purchase Booksellers: Order from Ingram
Swimming is an unnatural act. No one likes to feel awkward in the water. To help swimmers develop more efficient strokes, Bob Colyer follows two Fundamentals and two Rules that simplify the process. The teacher/coach guides swimmers through a relaxed start used for all strokes, and builds each by a series of steps that lead to long and comfortable stroking. Almost all good swimmers are the products of good instruction by good instructors, and Colyer does an excellent job helping both groups make swimming a more natural act.
Beyond the Pillars of Hercules
Atlantis & Tyrus in Plato’s Writings, Biblical Verses, and the Works of
Helena Blavatsky, Edgar Cayce, and Ruth Montgomery
By David Hershiser
ISBN: 978-1-883378-64-6 Purchase Booksellers: Order from Ingram
Atlantis in the Bible? Among the records lost forever to civilization in the destruction of the library at Alexandria, there may have been those of the existence and exact location of Atlantis. Without that incontrovertible evidence, scholars have been left to speculate and interpret bits and pieces gleaned from ancient texts to try to build a case for the existence of an ancient civilization that was, even technologically, far more advanced than ours.
In Beyond the Pillars of Hercules, David Hershiser, citing evidence from numerous sources, ancient and new, presents a strong case that Ezekiel’s account of Tyrus was really about Atlantis. A persuasive comparison of various editions of Biblical verses, Plato’s writings, and the works of theosophist Helena Blavatsky and psychics Edgar Cayce and Ruth Montgomery offer the reader a new set of tools for thinking about Atlantis.

Time Beyond Time
A Magical Memoir of Rural England
By Hope Tod
ISBN: 978-1-883378-01-1 Purchase Booksellers: Order from Ingram
In the early 1940s, when the vast majority of men in the English labour force entered military service, thousands of women joined the Women’s Land Army to carry on with the agricultural work in support of their country.
Hope Tod lovingly describes the simple joys she found working outdoors, on the land, and in close harmony with animals—even during a time of war.
The experience led her to go on with dairy farming, caring for animals, and the world of nature after her volunteer national service ended.
Time Beyond Time is a tenderly crafted memoir of bygone days in rural England—of the period when machinery and mechanization were just beginning to usurp the central role animals had always played on small farms.

China’s Great Convulsion, 1894 – 1924
How the Chinese Overthrew a Dynasty, Fought Chaos and Warlords,
and Still Helped the Western Allies Win World War One
By John Fulton Lewis
ISBN: 1-883378-83-4 Purchase Booksellers: Order from Ingram
China is the only likely power capable of rivaling the United States in both military might and the conduct of world affairs. China is a nation on the move—marching towards full modernization at a pace that suggests it will be to the twenty-first century what the U.S.A. was to the twentieth, when it comes to international importance and regional domination.
The United States, among all Western countries, has the most need for understanding China. And under standing China’s revolutionary decades from 1895 to 1925 is crucial to understanding the China of today. China’s Great Convulsion provides an overview for that understanding.
New Greenland
By A. R. Eguiguren
ISBN: 1-883378-96-6 Purchase Booksellers: Order from Ingram
Global warming? New Greenland is not waiting on the international community to do something about it. One day, its citizens were watching TV in the comfort of their homes, and the power went out. Turned out the government had unilaterally decided to save some energy. Then it was cars. Sorry, they were told, “gas is bad for Mother Earth. Ride a bike instead, or walk.” The goal was to force all citizens to leave their homes in the cities and join environmental communities in the countryside. No running water. No central heat. No entertainment. Back to basics. New Greenland.
