Supertherapies strips away the mystique that surrounds natural health and makes it all crystal clear. Jane Alexander has tested virtually every therapy under the sun - and her book can help you find a system tailor-made for you.

Jane Alexander is one of the most significant African contemporary artists working today. Her animal-human sculptures, photographs, and dramatic installations speak of lasting disfigurations in her native South Africa, yet raise issues about human nature that resonate with viewers internationally. Alexander's hybrid mutants inhabit a universe where boundaries between self and other, human and animal, are unstable, where shared foundations and clashing differences are disclosed, and where the grotesque and the familiar entwine. While the figures are, in many ways, emblems of monstrosity, they are oddly beautiful. Her creatures expose the human animal for all it is and all it could become. Not only are Alexander's artworks formally and technically accomplished, but they also deliver a potent emotional impact, sending warnings about historical consequences and hinting at things to come.

Home is a reflection of the self. It tells us, and other people, who we are. The type of home we live in, the style of the furnishings and colours, all work together to remind us of our personality, our taste, our values and interests. Creating a soul-sustaining space, an intimate and emo tional connection with our home, has become a pursuit of the 21st century. As we change our lifestyles, downshift, work at home, deal with stress, live in different communities, we look towards home as a haven for peace and tranquillity.

The bedroom, with its links to sleep and dreams, intimacy and solitude, is one of the most beguiling and mysterious rooms in the house. This small, illustrated book provides a glimpse into the kind of sanctuary we crave - comfortable, relaxed, stylish, and serene. Together with aspirational images, this book offers a wealth of simple, practical advice on how to transform the most personal of spaces. It includes: how to bring out the potential of the room by considering its history, mythology and psychology; how to use colour, sound, scent and light in the room; furnishings and decoration, creative storage and finishing touches; and simple rituals and blessings for the room - smudging, cleansing and rituals.

Somewhere between realism and metaphor, humanity and bestiality, South Africa and the rest of the world, Jane Alexander's sculptures give shape to the brutal, painful, tragic, bizarre, incomprehensible, and fragile existence of her multicultural society--and, to a lesser extent, others. Existening in a no-man's-land where the difference between victim and perpetrator is blurred and meaningless, her life-size figures, made from fiberglass, wood, clay, and found objects, sometimes dressed as people do, sometimes naked as people and animals are, are uncanny in their astonishing naturalism, a naturalism thwarted by bandages, animal masks, incomprehending animal eyes, and violent lacerations. This is the first extensive publication dedicated to Alexander's work.
