Book Description
Shortlisted for the Booker Prize, this brilliant novel from Madeleine St John, author of The Women in Black, is a comic and tender look at the vicissitudes of love and relationships. Nicola should never have stepped out to buy that pack of cigarettes, because the man she discovers in her living room when she returns is not the adorable, straightforward, devoted Jonathan with whom she has been sharing her life. That Jonathan would never have unilaterally decided that she should, as he abruptly put it, 'move out'. A shocked Nicola packs her bags and sets out bravely on the bumpy course that will take her from the end of an affair to the essence of the thing. This edition of The Essence of the Thing comes with an introduction by Helen Trinca, Madeleine St John's biographer. Madeleine St John was born in Sydney. She graduated from Sydney University in 1963 and lived in London for most of the succeeding years, until her death in 2006. The Women in Black is her first novel. She also wrote A Pure Clear Light, 1996, The Essence of the Thing, 1997, which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize, and Stairway to Paradise, 1999. textclassics.com.au 'Brisk, sophisticated and artful.' New York Times Book Review 'St John's intelligence transforms a simple story into a much larger commentary on love and loss.' Mademoiselle 'Using spare prose, sparkling dialogue and painfully true observations on family life, St John creates a winning combination of humour and pathos.' Publishers Weekly

Book Description
Billy Meier has taken several photographs of UFOs and has written hundreds of detailed notes about his many contacts with extraterrestrial alien beings from the Taurus Constellation. These notes do not just consist of simple dialogue. They contain real arguments, discussions, humor, agreements, and even outright threats. However, the information provided is absolutely profound as it relates to secret societies, ancient Earth history, human development, life on other worlds, spirituality, and advanced scientific knowledge.The notes were originally published by Mr. Meier in his native language of German. A researcher by the name of Wendelle Stevens then published several volumes of the notes that were translated into the English language. Unfortunately, the notes were difficult to read, the topics were discussed in no particular order, and there was no index provided. As a result, this book was published in 2009. The dialogue is easy to read in proper English format and the content has been reorganized for easy access to specific topics.
