Yoga De-Mystified
"Shiv Sharma is an inspiring yoga teacher who is also a scientist. His upbringing in India gave him a sound understanding of the development of Indian philosophy whilst his subsequent scientific training instilled an essential desire to explain the world and seek justification for whatever is asserted. As a yoga teacher, he applies these principles by separating what is non-testable, or downright wrong, from what is measurable, understandable and repeatable; his mantra in class is to question, understand and apply well-directed effort." - Dave Plummer, ex-Head of Medical Imaging, University College London Hospital and Lesley Whitby

Zoom or Doom
Humanity has long dreamed of travelling and settling among the stars. The fact is that like any other star, the Sun, will one day succumb to gravity and run out of its primary fuel, hydrogen. When this happens, life on earth will become impossible, as the sun envelops our planet. Understandably then, many have considered the possibility of colonising planets beyond our solar system in order to ensure the survival of ‘Earthians’ (my moniker for humans born on planet Earth) beyond the fixed lifetime of our sun.Zoom or Doom imagines such a journey but on a far grander scale — expanding beyond our galaxy. Marx Afaro Zytan, an oddball who appears nervous while relaxed but serene when nervous, is a ruthless man and an inhabitant of planet Zist. The book follows his story, which revolves around the revolutionary scientific discovery of a special type of fuel system that can transform matter into energy. This not only enables the possibility of light-speed travel for space-ships, but intergalactic travel and even time travel.

The Journey
For Antonatie Jemwa, The Journey, “…depicts the reality of events that each individual can relate to; it points out to positivity in the grand experience of life as it unfolds each chapter, just as each season, in a lifetime.”
Informed by faith, the poems have a common theme of love, of how enhancing and revitalising it can be, and yet at the same time so fragile. Grouped under headings like ‘Family’, ‘Dreams’, ‘Character’ and ‘Gone’, Jemwa shines a light on our interactions with the world, both metaphysical and real, which make The Journey a lottery that perhaps can only find an understanding through faith.
The Journey is a meditation, a sensitive look at our condition through the instrument of poetry.
