Imagine being castaway on a remote uninhabited island. Only this is not some tropical paradise, but a bleak island in the north Atlantic. In February. And the castaway is Tess, a woman so timid and ineffectual that she’ll need a miracle to survive.
This exciting novel follows Tess’s desperate efforts, and those of Cal Fisher, the detective assigned to investigate her disappearance. It also follows Mike, the man who put Tess on the island, as he struggles to live with the demons of his past, and the horrors that they drive him to.

A short Clip from: BBC's Horizon Special Psychedelic Experience
One would not expect Britain's traditionally conservative and oft-staid BBC to screen a 50 minute film on the new wave of psychedelic research in humans. Yet, astonishingly enough, such a state of affairs recently came to pass. Before it aired on February 27th, 1997, Psychedelic Science was heavily featured in the media, even getting elaborate treatment in the Radio Times, a mass publication as institutionalised as the BBC itself. The Times, the Guardian, and the Independent, Britain's three leading broadsheets, all carried major pieces announcing the film.
Dr. Deborah Mash and her research with ibogaine was also treated in depth in the film. Mash explains how ibogaine can be used to break cocaine habits although, as with ayahuasca, we do not not learn much about the actual phenomenology induced by ibogaine - suffice it to say that patients experience transformative insights into themselves which can break their patterns of addiction.
