REVIEWS REVIEWS ¢ dowsing and radionics into gardening, applying dynamic growing principles using modern biodynamics and Earth-spirited permaculture, and farming in the city. It's big on ancient wisdom and modern, ecologically sustainable farming practices. forced migration to pollinate far- distant trees, and high-fructose corn syrup supplements—but the jury is still out. It's not as if we've not had any warning. In 1923, Rudolf Steiner warned that bees would die out within 100 years if they were reproduced by only artificial means— an all-too-common practice today. Beekeeping has a 15,000-year history, but it's taken less than 100 years to compromise or ruin our bee colonies. This compilation, like the film, is a wake-up call for us to re-establish our essential links with Nature and work towards a sustainable future. Without bees pollinating our food crops, we die. We must protect this sacred, community-minded insect that's intrinsic to the survival of so much life on Earth. STONE AGE FARMING by Alanna Moore Python Press, Castlemaine, Victoria, Australia, 2011, 2nd edition ISBN 978-0-9757782-3-4 (210pp tpb) Available: www.pythonpress.com; www.geomantica.com en years after the release of Stone Age Farming (see review in 8/04), dowser, geomancer and permaculture farmer Alanna Moore has published an updated, revised edition of her guide to esoteric farming and gardening practices. This edition incorporates recent findings in achieving environmental harmony through permaculture design, and long-term results in using paramagnetic antennae to improve soil health and increase crop yields. These antennae are inspired by the Irish Round Towers, which visionary scientist Dr Phil Callahan described as "silicon-rich semiconductors of cosmic energies" because of the paramagnetic material they utilise. Moore has practical advice on making the most of a power tower and on troubleshooting potential problems with location, materials, construction and environmental disturbances. Moore's book instructs on such topics as using rock dust to save soil, restoring natural resonance with Earth acupuncture, incorporating QUEEN OF THE SUN edited by Taggart Siegel and Jon Betz Clairview Books, Forest Row, UK, 20II ISBN 978-1-905570-34-8 (144pp tpb) Available: www.clairviewbooks.com Ax film documentary, Queen of the un, is currently making waves. Its central theme concerns what's happening to the honey bees, which since 2006 have been disappearing mysteriously in increasing numbers. The phenomenon is called colony collapse disorder (CCD). This book is a companion to the film, and has been compiled by director Taggart Siegel together with producer Jon Betz. It contains many full-colour stills from the film and related sources, and includes heartfelt and informative contributions from featured spokespeople—well- credentialled biodynamic and organic beekeepers, scientists, farmers, activists, poets and philosophers. Various theories have been put forward in an attempt to explain CCD—e.g., EM radiation, GE crops, pe A ZUCCN et Sun & 7 \ - 2012 Mayan Calendar square wall calendar - 30x 30cm 28 pages 12 x beautiful colour plates 12 x 500-word (+) articles > If you've heard about the Mayan Calendar, but don't really know what it's all about. } If you want to know why some people think the world as we know it is likely to end on 21 December 2012... > /f you are looking for researched scientific, archaeological and historical information about the Mayan Calendar (or even if you want the sensationalist stuf... f Ifyou like calendars with beautiful images... jm Ld = > /f you want a unique souvenir of 2012... ...
