Crashing noises and disembodied voices, coming from nowhere and everywhere at once. Invisible tormentors slapping and pinching and pulling hair. Fires starting spontaneously, pools of water materializing out of thin air, pots and pans and knives and knick-knacks flying through the room. These are the hallmarks of the poltergeist phenomenon.

In this classic book on destructive hauntings, Colin Wilson, renowned authority on the paranormal, examines the evidence and develops a definitive theory of the poltergeist phenomenon. Countless true-life cases of poltergeist infestations have been recorded since the days of ancient Greece and Rome to the present. But what are poltergeists? Where do they come from? And why do they appear in our world?

From the case of a black-robed monk that terrorized a family for years, to the investigation of a talking mongoose, to true stories of gnomes, sorcerers, witches, and demons, this guide explores a bone-chilling gallery of the mysterious entities known as poltergeists.

An examination of the precise code that connects ancient spirituality with modern science

• Shows how the numerical patterns in ancient philosophies are evident in both the structure of the universe and the helical structure of DNA

• Reveals that music theory comes from an intuitive understanding of the resonant harmony of the cosmos

Many have observed the distinct numerical patterns embedded in ancient philosophies and religions from all over the world; others have noted that these same patterns are apparent in many of the theories of groundbreaking science. Michael Hayes reveals that there is a precise code, the Hermetic Code, that connects these patterns--information once known to ancient cultures but apparently lost over time. Mirrored in the structure of this code are the ordering principles of the universe and, intriguingly, also the harmonic ratios of music. Our notions of what is harmonious in music may therefore arise not from an abstract aesthetic sense but as a response to an intuition of a fundamental cosmic harmony.

The resonance between biology and cosmology shows that life is music, complete with “overtones”--nowhere more strikingly present than in the helical structure of life itself: DNA.

Colin St John Wilson: Buildings and Projects is the definitive monograph on Sir Colin St John Wilson, one of the most important British architects of the twentieth century. This erudite, comprehensive publication spans projects from throughout his career, from early work, such as the groundbreaking 1956 'This is Tomorrow' collaborative exhibition of architects and artists; to his own house in Cambridge (where he was the University's Head of the School of Architecture 1975-1989); to perhaps his most celebrated building, the British Library in St Pancras and its extension.

The book takes the reader on a journey through modern British architectural history, finishing in the present day with the masterplanning of the Royal Academy. The book also includes several of his late buildings, including the contemporary wing to the Pallant House Gallery in Chichester, which opened in 2006, and houses St John Wilson's extensive collection of modern British art.

Colin St John Wilson: Buildings and Projects beautifully illustrates the thought processes and theories behind the work, with essays, photographs, drawings and diagrams; as well as genealogical and chronological charts, that place his architecture within a historical context. Fascinating texts by respected architects and writers including Professor Roger Stonehouse and Eric Parry fully elucidate St John Wilson's contribution to modern architecture.

Colin St John Wilson: Buildings and Projects is the perfect companion to Black Dog Publishing's re-issue of St John Wilson's seminal The Other Tradition of Modern Architecture: The Uncompleted Project.

Subtitled, }A Study In The Psychology Of Violence{. A fully revised and updated delve into the minds of murderers, with new material on Harold Shipman. The previous edition sold 37,000 copies.

The Other Tradition of Modern Architecture: The Uncompleted Project is a re-edition of an essential work by Colin St John Wilson, architect of the British Library and one of the most eminent voices in architectural theory and practice of the last 50 years. Re-edited and re-designed to Wilson's specifications, and with a new introduction by architect and writer Ellis Woodman, this indispensable title is here made available to a new readership. In The Other Tradition St John Wilson sets out to examine the underlying themes of modern architecture, assessing their impact, influence, and continuing development. Rather than positioning Modernism as a completed historical moment that occurred in the past (and that was formulated in terms of abstract theory and in no way responding to the historic role of architecture as a practical art and the unpredictable necessities of life), Wilson argues for a continuing tradition, an 'uncompleted project', sustained against CIAM's rigid orthodoxy by a 'resistance movement' exemplified by architects such as Alvar Aalto, Hans Scharoun, Hugo Häring and Frank Lloyd Wright. Figures like Aalto and Scharoun couldn't compete with Le Corbusier's powers on the soapbox and showed little inclination to do so. In a sense, The Other Tradition, is the manifesto that these laconic masters never wrote.

Drawing upon philosophy, history, art and architectural theory, the story of Modernist architecture is here explored both theoretically and through comparative case studies. Professor Wilson's original, insightful and passionate text is accompanied by photographs, plan drawings, sketches and models that further elucidate his argument. As important now as it was when first published The Other Tradition of Modern Architecture: The Uncompleted Project is a handsome re-edition of a seminal work.

Future Release: In July 2007 Black Dog is publishing Colin St John Wilson: Buildings and Projects, the definitive monograph on Professor Colin St John Wilson. This erudite, comprehensive publication spans projects from throughout his career.
