Communes Britannica 
Chris Coates
520pp paperback, b&w illus; Diggers and Dreamers Publications
Communes don’t last they say. They’re associated with good-for-nothing idealists or sex and drug crazed maniacs!

This myth-busting tour by a veteran takes you from war-time pacifist land groups right through to hippie communes showing that communal living actually provided a viable way of life for thousands in the latter half of the 20th century.

Cohousing in Britain 
Edited by Sarah Bunker, Chris Coates, Martin Field and Jonathan How
paperback, 164 pages, numerous black and white photographs and plans; Diggers and Dreamers Publications

Diggers & Dreamers 2008/09 
Edited by Sarah Bunker, Chris Coates and Jonathan How
paperback; Diggers and Dreamers Publications
In the late 1980s we started putting together the first edition of our book Diggers & Dreamers - the guide to communal living in Britain. It combined articles with a directory of intentional communities and it’s been coming out in some form every two years ever since.

Now, as we approach our 20th anniversary we’re returning to that original format and taking the opportunity to look back over the last two decades.

Has anything changed? While the mass media still consider communal living to be some oddity from the past, global warming and lower-impact lifestyles have become topics of everyday conversation. Perhaps the experience of communards - who have been quietly getting on with their lives in communal and co-housing groups, eco-villages and low-impact communities - will now become relevant in the wider world.

Get Diggers & Dreamers 08/09 and decide for yourself.

Awakening Albion 
Editors Jane Bottomley et al
120pp 216mm square paperback; Coherent Visions
In early May 2008 a group of pilgrims watched the Beltane sunrise from a clifftop headland near Lands End, and then set out on a journey ... on foot ... across southern England. Following the path of the Michael/Mary leyline, they walked the sacred and mythological landscape that is Albion. Nearly fifty days (and over 500 miles) later, they reached the Norfolk coast in time to witness the Summer Solstice sunrise over the North Sea. A celebration of the land’s beauty as well as a witnessing of its wounding, the Walk was also a powerful experience of community for all involved. This book tells the story of that journey in photographs, drawings, poems and diary entries.

Book 1: A Long Time Ago in Galilee 
A4 paperback book, 92pp
Jesus, an odd-job man, leaves his mother in Galilee and goes off in search of his cousin John the Baptiser. As he rubs shoulders with all kinds of people and shares his life with them, we witness Jesus’ growing realisation that he is being called to announce God’s Kingdom, and we see Jesus’ extraordinary power to attract people to himself and to touch their hearts. Book One ends with the wedding celebrations at Cana.
£8.99 each
Book 2: A Village Prophet 
A4 paperback book, 104pp
Jesus befriends outcasts and teaches about, and acts out, God’s love for the poor, the sick, lepers, prostitutes, drunks, etc. Jesus challenges everyone to do the same as himself, but people find his teaching hard to accept. Even his friends and followers get annoyed with some of his ideas, but Jesus remains firm, patiently teaching them to see the world as God sees it, sometimes through wonderful storytelling.
£8.99 each
Book 3: Our Daily Bread 
A4 paperback book, 88pp
Jesus tells his friends and anyone who will listen about God the ‘Big-Hearted Father’. He shows the people how nothing is impossible to God, healing the sick, forgiving sins, and raising the dead to life. Jesus teaches the fisherfolk how to pray simply and directly to God, and the book ends with Jesus and twelve of his followers preparing to go up to Jerusalem together to celebrate the Jewish festival of Passover.

Dicewords 
by Graham Lipscomb; about Dicewords
For any number of players (including 1). Three rolls of nine special alphabet dice to make the highest scoring word you can. It’s that simple - or is it? This compact word game defies its size to be an enthralling race to the finish.

Dicewords is a beautifully simple concept, and can be played on many levels, so it’s a great gift choice. The key to the game is really The Dice Table, a chart which lists the letters available on each of the dice - enabling players to weigh up the odds of getting the letters they want.

Fiendish! And over 10 million combinations means it’s never the same game twice...
