UPDATED AND REVISED SECOND EDITION From the author: When it comes to getting guidance about the arrival of new life the sources are plenty. Healthcare practitioners, books, magazines, websites, and well meaning friends and family members can all offer valuable information. But what about gaining insight about childbearing from a consciousness and spiritual perspective? When I was pregnant with my second child I sought a different type of guidance; one that spoke to the true depth of carrying another life inside me. As a spiritual person and empath I knew enough to understand that nothing is random. I wanted to learn about the soul of my unborn child and why I would be the one honored to be his or her parent. I craved to know the process of spirit uniting with physical body. When does it happen and can the mother sense it? Is it possible to communicate with the consciousness of your baby before birth? Can you be so attuned to your child that you can intuit their inner happenings on a vibrational level? I had nowhere to turn to for the answers to these deeper questions. So I began my quest to put it all together. It meant delving deep to make sound premises backed by available research and reliable observation. The nurse in me demanded empirical evidence, but I also wanted the warmth of personal accounts. A Journey Into Being is cumulation of medical, scientific, spiritual, and Eastern wisdom. It will take you where science meets spirituality on the transformational passage of the soul as it prepares for life, unites with the physical body, and undergoes birth. It will provide guidance on how to know and nurture a child's inner being. Once we view new life through the lens of spirit many questions and mystifying issues surrounding the arrival of new life will become clearer like: How do I nurture my child on a more intuitive level? Why are some babies more sensitive or reactive than others? Why do I feel like I've known my newborn all my life? How can I connect spiritually to my child during pregnancy? Was I chosen to be my child's parent? What is the true meaning of life/reality/consciousness How do we reconcile the idea of a just Higher Being when cruel things can happen to innocent children? A Journey Into Being is not just for those who are parents or wish to become parents. It can help anyone gain greater insight into the eternal nature of consciousness and explore the course of their own journey into physical being or of those they love. This book is my tribute to every precious child as each brings the promise of positive change for a more loving universe.

In this elegant edition, Merritt, author and editor of more than 20 books, chronicles how youth is rendered in photographs, as well as other art and literature, over the course of the last 150 years. Highlights include hand-colored photos from Lewis Carroll (including an image of his muse, young Alice Liddell) and masterpieces by Richard Avedon, Andre Kertesz, Sally Mann, Robert Mapplethorpe and Nan Goldin. Cutting no corners, Merritt tackles the usual suspects (children at play, children at rest, children and dogs) as well as the difficult issues: hunger and poverty, embodied in the chilling Great Depression work of Dorothea Lange and Walker Evans; war, including opposing quotations from Adolf Hitler and Anne Frank; and political oppression, as in Carl Iwasaki's shot of Linda Brown in her segregated Kansas classroom prior to her landmark case against the Board of Education. These sobering images are set beside thorough, concerned discussion of critical issues facing children today: AIDS, over-population and famine among them. The text, broken into modes of perception-"the innocent child," "the child assailed," "the child alone," etc.-is peppered with quotes from the likes of Charles Dickens, Oscar Wilde, Rainer Marie Rilke, Jack London, William Wordsworth, Victor Hugo and Herman Hesse. An eclectic, captivating study, this is a fine volume for anyone who works with children or children's welfare issues. 350 four-color and duotone photographs.

Experience this gripping true story of a Japanese American family’s transformation from brokenness to wholeness in the face of tragedy. The inspirational account of a Japanese-American family’s triumph after grappling with the death of their three children—two from AIDS and a third the victim of a tragic drive-by shooting—Honor Thy Children chronicles the creation, devastation, and remarkable resurrection of the Nakatanis, who journey from unimaginable grief to healing. Praise for Honor Thy Children “This is a story that will break your heart and make it whole again. It will bring you into a realm of humanness and compassion you didn’t know you had. It might even set you free to love in ways you’ve never loved before.” —Sister Helen Prejean, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Dead Man Walking “I have never read such a powerful story about a Japanese American family like this before. It relates a universal message of the deep love the Nakatanis have for their children which transcended alienation and despair.... It is the Nakatanis enduring legacy of love and hope to the world.” —Ford H. Kuramoto, national director, National Asian Pacific American Families Against Substance Abuse

She looked into my eyes and blinked hers slowly and deliberately, like a stroke victim, to show me that although she couldn't speak, she understood what I was saying to her. I stroked her hair softly. 'I know you're in there, honey,' I told her. 'We'll get you out.'" Despite the horror of seeing fifteen-month-old Elizabeth slip away into autism, her mother knew that her bright little girl was still in there. When Elizabeth eventually learned to communicate, first by using a letterboard and later by typing, the poetry she wrote became proof of a glorious, life-affirming victory for this young girl and her family. I Am in Here is the spiritual journey of a mother and daughter who refuse to give up hope, who celebrate their victories, and who keep trying to move forward despite the obstacles. Although she cannot speak, Elizabeth writes poetry that shines a light on the inner world of autism and the world around us. That poetry and her mother's stirring storytelling combine in this inspirational book to proclaim that there is always a reason to take the next step forward--with hope.

Join brilliant young naturalist Dara McAnulty – winner of the 2020 Wainwright Prize for his book Diary of a Young Naturalist – on a nature walk and experience the joy of connecting with the natural world on your multi sensory journey. This beautiful gift book, illustrated in full colour by Barry Falls, is divided into five sections: looking out of the window, venturing out into the garden, walking in the woods, investigating heathland and wandering on the river bank. Dara pauses to tell you about each habitat and provides fantastic facts about the native birds, animals and plants you will find there – including wrens, blackbirds, butterflies, tadpoles, bluebells, bees, hen harriers, otters, dandelions, oak trees and many more. Each section contains a discovery section where you will have a closer look at natural phenomenon such as metamorphoses and migration, learn about categorization in the animal kingdom or become an expert on the collective nouns for birds. Each section finishes with an activity to do when you get home: plant wild flowers, make a bird feeder, try pond dipping, make a journey stick and build a terrarium. Dara ends the book with advice for young conservationists.
