translated by E. H. Whinfield Edward Henry Whinfield (1836- 1922) was a translator of Persian literature and this book was first published in 1887 and is here in faithful facsimile paperback reprint. In this classic work he translates comments upon ‘The Masnavi’, Rumi’s greatest work and Jelalludin Rumi (1207-1273) led a quiet life of an Islamic teacher in Anatolia (modern Turkey) until the age of 37

by Richard Slobodin Dr William Rivers, neurologist and psychiatrist is probably best known for his association with the First World War poets Siegfried Sassoon and Robert Graves, dramatised in Pat Barker’s Regeneration trilogy. In 1917, at that time frontline infantry officers, they met Rivers at a war hospital where he was a psychiatrist. This biography tells of
that meeting and of his earlier career in neurology, psychology and anthropology, and of the important role he played in the wartime treatment of combat trauma. His anthropological fieldwork in Melanesia and India and
his theories on kinship and social organisation are of fundamental importance. After the war he renewed his acquaintance with George Bernard Shaw and came to know H. G. Wells, Arnold Bennett and a number of Labour political figures. He died suddenly in 1922 just before he stood for election. 86 page paperback, illus. £4.99 NOW £2.50
74099 LONGEVITY PROJECT by Howard S. Friedman and Leslie R. Martin
Can we identify the factors that lead to a long life? Is it true that stable relationships, religious belief and work satisfaction are key indicators? Two present-day researchers take a new look at the lifetime study of 1,500 young people which was started in the twenties by Lewis Terman.
Neurotic individuals are not necessarily unhealthy, and although people whose parents have divorced are more likely to follow the same route, the key to how it affects you is in personality and lifestyle. Hard work is definitely good for you, and conscientiousness, or sticking to a task, is also a key factor. Each section comes with a questionnaire that allows the reader to assess his or her own position on the spectrum of qualities being discussed. 248pp, paperback. £10.99 NOW £3
