www.clitheroetoday.co.uk Company sheds light on Uri’s yearnings
EMPLOYEES from Ultraframe had an insight into the life and times of paranormalist Uri Geller and helped him to achieve his lifelong dream. The celebrity chose the Clitheroe company to help design and erect a huge glass pyramid
in the garden of his Sonning-on-Thames man sion. The well-being pyramid conservatory" was
designed by Uri in conjunction with Ultra frame and involved the former "I'm a Celebri ty, Get Me Out of Here" star making a num ber of visits to the Salthill factory. The conservatory was constructed from Ultraframe Conservaglass, an advanced glaz
ing technology which cuts out dangerous ultra-violet sun rays. Uri Geller is acknowledged to be the world's
most investigated and celebrated paranormal ist. Famous around the globe for his mind- bending psychic powers, he has led a life shrouded in debate and mystery. A motivational MindPower coach to foot
ballers, industrialists, FI drivers, Olympic skaters, boxers and racing cyclists, he is the co- chairman of Third Division Exeter City FC and has written a number of books. His artistic skills developed during his early
childhood. A pupil of Salvador Dali, Uri's drawings, paintings and artworks have been exhibited in major galleries and museums in the US, Europe, Japan and Israel. "Immersing oneself in light doesn’t just

ic scale. He is charming, sensitive and clever; he is Oxford educated; and he has married a beautiful concert pianist, Jane, whom he loves. This means he really has to work hard to be a loser. But Tom puts in the hours: drag ging out a PhD for seven years, living beyond his overgrown student’s means, and lying compulsively in a way that invites ruin. The son of an Anglican vicar, Tom is an
atheist passionately consumed by the ques tion of God. While he is busy failing to make a living or to write his thesis, Tom is also com piling a Book Against God - an impassioned satire of religious belief. LINDESAY IRVINE

The hilariously chaotic tale of a childhood
mishaps of an accident-prone and cheeky boy, whose attempts to get on with the business of growing up are thwarted at every turn by the continent’s peculiarities as much as his own behaviour, are not simply hilarious, they are the kind you should not read in public. Laugh-out-loud is an understatement.
Despite often having the best of intentions, David rarely manages to stay out of trouble, whether it is falling into large holes or being mugged by baboons. Surrounded by a series of eccentric teach
ers, animals which are completely mad, and a long-suffering family whose grasp on reality seems occasionally as tenuous as his own, barely a day seems to pass when he does not run the risk of getting eaten, crushed, poi soned, drowned, trampled, shot or impaled. A wonderful insight into life in Africa from
a two-foot high point of view, “Tick Bite Fever" is a witty, touching and above all affec tionate look back at his unique upbringing. Simply infectious.

ATLAS OF THE MIDDLE EAST written and published by National Geographic in paperback, priced £14.99. Although crying out louder than ever for
your attention, the complexity of the Middle East is as bewildering as it ever was. If you want to understand this fascinating
quarter of the world, which gave birth to civil isation and most of the world’s major reli gions, there are any number of heavy tomes on the shelf ready to help out. As ever, the best of them are usually the longest. But there is a less daunting way into this
perplexing region: through its geography. The Atlas Of The Middle East is much
more than a collection of well-drawn and informative maps, although it is that too, of course. In a series of authoritative charts which are easy on both eye and brain, the atlas also offers many insights into the region’s dense tangle of history and politics. Each of the 16 main states of the region,
