El psicoterapeuta John James, doctor en filosofía, recurre a casi veinte años de práctica terapéutica para presentar unas conclusiones tan elegantes como sorprendentes sobre la naturaleza del universo y sus implicaciones para la experiencia humana. Recurriendo a la biología y la astronomía, nos muestra que todo lo que existe ha sido creado a partir y dentro de los vastos dominios de energía que forma el Gran Campo, y que el alma -esa parte energética de nosotros que conecta con el universo- es un factor creativo tan poderoso como el ADN en nuestro desarrollo físico y psíquico. Como sus hallazgos se basan en una innovadora combinación de pruebas científicas, sabiduría cultural y espiritual diversa e historiales clínicos de sus pacientes, las conclusiones de James constituyen una teoría estimulante y original de cómo el Gran Campo es la base de todo en el universo, incluida la energía personal que llamamos alma.

La lucha por Britania. Hace ya más de cien años que las legiones romanas abandonaron Britania. Sus descendientes están divididos en pequeños reinos, gobernados por figuras legendarias como Uther Pendragon de Camelot o Mark, rey de Cornwall y padre del mas tarde inmortalizado Tristan. Pero estos reinos no solo luchan entre si, sino que ahora tienen que hacer frente a una amenaza mucho mayor: una horda de salvajes, los sajones, llegados del otro lado del ancho y profundo mar, que queman los grandes bosques y estan destruyendo los ultimos vestigios de la civilizacion romana en la isla. Mynydog, rey de Eiddin, convoca a un ejercito, comandado por el principe Owain de Cornwall y formado por hombres de todas las regiones de Britania, que cabalgara hacia el sur a traves de las tierras devastadas por los salvajes para enfrentarse a ellos y buscar la gloria... Pero el plan de Mynydog va mas alla, y en un final sorprendente nos revelara el verdadero motivo de la campaña, que marcara el inicio de la mitica leyenda de Arturo, el gran lider que esperan todos los britanos.

The Battle of Cattreath is one of the great unknowns of early British history. A small band of men from the Old North of Britain, the Gododdin, mount an audacious assault on the Angle stronghold of Cattreath.

John James is an Australian architect and medieval historian. Since 1969 he has been searching for the origins of the Gothic style, beginning with a five-year study of Chartres cathedral. At that time there were no coherent techniques for analysing the detailed construction history of existing stone structures. This he created. He expanded his research to include all the early Gothic churches in the Paris region with a three-year survey of over 3500 buildings. His most important discovery has been that all churches of this period were constructed in many short campaigns by mobile building teams, and that major innovation was more likely to occur in the smaller buildings than in the larger. This volume makes available 42 of the authors studies on the development of Gothic architecture in France.
