If you have a backyard, or even a sunny porch or balcony, you can grow your own hops, brewing herbs, and malt grains to enhance the flavor, aroma, and uniqueness of your home-brewed beer — and ensure that you have the freshest, purest, best ingredients possible. Simple instructions from experts Joe and Dennis Fisher guide you through every step of the process, from setting up your first hop trellis to planting and caring for your herbs, harvesting and drying them, malting grain, and brewing more than 25 recipes specifically designed for homegrown ingredients. This fully updated second edition includes a new section featuring color photography of the plants, expanded information on growing hops in small spaces, innovative trellising ideas, an expanded section on malting, new profiles of prominent grower/brewers, and up-to-date information on grain-growing best practices.

The age-old belief in reincarnation is enjoying a revival. More and more people are asking ''is this all there is?'' and opening themselves up to the possibility of returning to life in new bodies to continue their spiritual growth. Reincarnation is not exclusive to the Hindu or Buddhist religions, it is part of the history of mankind. The Dalai Lama has written of this book that "it will contribute substantially to explain and interest the average westerner in the subject of rebirth." In Coming Back Alive Joe Fisher explores the origins of belief in rebirth and examines the evidence for life after life while placing ideas of human reincarnation in the context of the life of the universe. Joe Fisher began to research past and future lives in 1982, the more deeply he delved the more he was swayed by the large body of evidence that supports the case for reincarnation. He first published his findings in ''The Case for Reincarnation'' but has now revised and updated his work under the title Coming Back Alive. Including new material on the discarnate realm between incarnations, new developments in past-life therapy and childhood reincarnation memory of earlier lives and describing the continued progress made in reincarnation research since the original publication this is the most comprehensive account available.

Focusing on narrative structure, irony, satire and allusion, The Hidden Hardy offers a radical new perspective on Thomas Hardy's novels. Hardy's own accounts of himself and his work have long been seen as calculated impostures; it is argued here that the same qualities are not only present in his novels, but are critical factors in the way they are made. The respectable and acceptable surfaces are the impostures, masking hidden texts which are extremely hostile to established social, economic and cultural structures.
