La causa de las cosas que ocurren en nuestra experiencia cotidiana no está fuera de nosotros en los actos de los demás, sino dentro de nosotros. Durante nuestros primeros años de vida, el estado emocional de las personas que son responsables de nosotros nos deja una huella. Sus sentimientos se superponen a la esencia de quienes somos, de manera que aprendemos a comportarnos como ellas en lugar de crecer para convertirnos en nosotros mismos.En La alquimia del corazon, se nos pide que seamos conscientes de la forma en que esas huellas se grabaron en nosotros y como influyen en nuestro comportamiento. Para corregir este rumbo debemos seguir al corazon. A traves de su lenguaje, el corazon nos permite reeducarnos y nos libera de manera incondicional al amor. El corazon es nuestro puente a la dimension vibracional de la realidad, que es experimentada como consciencia.Este viaje consiste en permitirnos sentir la vida en todo momento, en estar presentes y despiertos siempre. Es una oportunidad unica para participar de manera activa, responsable y creativa en nuestras vidas.

In spring 1973, Michael Brown, a young freelance travel writer, took a phone call from a friend: Why dont you come down to Somerset and see these things called elvers - they migrate up river at night on the high tides and the locals fish for them. Its called elvering.And so began a lifetimes career, full of ups and downs, as a self- employed eel fisherman: from the enchantment of catching them by moonlight, to driving them in battered vans across Europe, to smoking mature eels, to selling them - Michael and his long-suffering wife Utta have never looked back.A heart-warming tale of running a small business on a shoe-string; and a passion for eels which never faded.

What is it like to experience a flood? The answers that Michael Brown comes up with are surprising. His house was underwater for several weeks during the inundation of the Somerset Levels. He decided to stay on through it, and he was amazed at the ensuing chain of events as he, along with his local community, first fought the water, pumping and sweeping and panicking then came acceptance of the inevitable defeat, and finally there came an unexpected wealth of emotions as the waters and the locals had to settle into a strange and ultimately rewarding state of marooned calm. This well-written series of highlights of Michaels diary are very real: the account is funny, observant, honest and unpredictable.

Conditioned by a childhood surrounded by the rivalries of the Stewart family, and by eighteen years of enforced exile in England, James I was to prove a king very different from his elderly and conservative forerunners. This major study draws on a wide range of sources, assessing James Is impact on his kingdom. Michael Brown examines Jamess creation of a new, prestigious monarchy based on a series of bloody victories over his rivals and symbolised by lavish spending at court. He concludes that, despite the apparent power and glamour, James Is golden age had shallow roots; after a life of drastically swinging fortunes, James I was to meet his end in a violent coup, a victim of his own methods. But whether as lawgiver, tyrant or martyr, James I has cast a long shadow over the history of Scotland.

During the century and a half of their power the Black Douglases earned fame as Scotlands champions in the front line of war against England. On their shields they bore the bloody heart of Robert Bruce, the symbol of their claim to be the physical protectors of the hero-kings legacy. But others saw the power of these lords and earls of Douglas in a different light. To their critics the Douglases were a force for disorder in the kingdom, lawless, arrogant and violent, whose power rested on coercion and whose defiance of kings and guardians ultimately provoked James II into slaying the Douglas earl with his own hand. Michael Brown analyses the rise and fall of this family as the dominant magnates of the south, from the deeds of the Good Sir James Douglas in the service of Bruce to the violent destruction of the Douglas earls in the 1450s. Alongside this study of the accumulation and loss of power by one of the great noble houses, The Black Douglases includes a series of thematic examinations of the nature of aristocratic power. In particular these emphasise the link between warfare and political power in southern Scotland during the fourteenth century. For the Black Douglases, war was not just a patriotic duty but the means to power and fame in Scotland and across Europe.
