The Ancient Wisdom is a book by Annie Besant published in 1897 that seeks to provide comprehensive and educational explanations of the global theosophical teachings and their relationships to one another. Introducing such topics as the Physical plane, Astral plane, Mental plane, and other planes of existence, this remarkably insightful text is the perfect example Besant’s marvellous ability to express challenging spiritual ideas in an engaging and accessible manner, which she does here in a clear order and with smooth language. Annie Besant was a prominent British socialist, theosophist, activist for woman’s rights, writer and supporter of Irish and Indian self-rule. Originally published in 1897, we are proud to republish this scarce classic with an original biography of its author.

This volume contains a collection of essays and verse on the topic of sea warfare, written by Rudyard Kipling. It is both a factual account of nautical maneuvers during World War One, and a poetic masterpiece. "Sea Warfare" is highly recommended for fans and collectors of Kipling’s work, providing a truly fascinating insight into Kipling's lesser known works. The essays of this collection include: "The Fringes of the Fleet" (1915), "Tales of The Trade" (1916), and "Destroyers at Jutland" (1916). Joseph Rudyard Kipling (1865 - 1936) was a seminal English short-story writer, novelist, and poet. He is most famous for writing stories and poems concerning British soldiers in India. Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now, in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author.

Emergent Evolution: The Gifford Lectures Delivered in the University of St. Andrews in the Year 1922

This vintage book contains C. Lloyd Morgan’s 1927 treatise, “Emergent Evolution”. Emergent evolution is a theory stating that, during evolution, completely novel properties - for example the mind and consciousness - appear due to a random resorting of pre-existing entities. This fascinating volume is highly recommended for those with an interest in psychology and evolutionary theory, and it would make for a worthy addition to collections of similar literature. Conwy Lloyd Morgan (1852 - 1936) was a famous English ethologist and psychologist, best remembered for the experimental approach to animal psychology now known as 'Morgan's canon'. Many antiquarian texts such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now, in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
