Whether it's falling in love, shopping or overeating, why can't we help acting on impulse? When you make a decision or form an opinion, you think you know why. But you're wrong. The truth is that most of our mental activity actually happens below the level of conscious thought.

In writing this profoundly moving and illuminating account of Jesus Christ, his ministry and his death and Resurrection, David Lewis has drawn primarily on Mark, the earliest Gospel writer. He has endeavoured to fill in the chronological gaps in Jesus life, and in painting a portrait of him as a living, breathing, drinking sociable being, has relied on non-canonical scriptures and other sources, as well as his own vivid imagination.

Based on interviews with people throughout Siberia, Central Asia and European Russia about their spiritual experiences, this book brings together insights into the 'religious' worldview of those who claim to be Buddhist, Muslim, Christian, pagan or even 'atheist'. Throughout the ex-Soviet Union peoples of many different ethnic backgrounds report such experiences but often do not know how to interpret them, a position helped or hindered by the fact that at the same time these people are trying to rediscover their ethnic and cultural identity.

This atlas is the definitive account in maps and words of the historic royal towns of Windsor and Eton.
