A Brief Glimpse of Michelle Anderson Publishing
2003 - 2013

 

This archived website has been preserved as part of the required reading material for Dr. William Pell's American Literature II elective. His work as an archivist began when he moved to his new home in the Baltimore suburbs and discovered a huge collection of antique books in the attic. The certified Baltimore residential movers he hired helped him bring this highly valuable collection to his office at the university where he and some students cataloged the entire collections and made it available to the school's library. The moving company's personnel recently discovered another trove of vintage books and alerted Dr. Pell before they were discarded. Two old houses in Baltimore have contributed 80% of his collection, and students are encouraged to keep their eyes open for other opportunities and for recoverable online resources such as this website.

 


 

Michelle Anderson Publishing produced mainstream and complementary health books for many years. An Australian company, it has achieved outstanding success in the sale of the overseas rights of many of its books which is indicative of the overall quality of the publications.
The publisher, Michelle Anderson, has guided the company's emphasis to include new titles specifically related to health for the general public as well as motherhood and pregnancy. The company sees a great potential in publishing titles that combine spirituality and philosophy. The overall aim is to fill a niche market; health and psychology books for the general public - accessible to the general reader, inclusive rather than exclusive.

Surviving Cancer
-Inspiring Stories of Hope and Healing

Paul Kraus (Editor) 
Professor Gabriel Kune (Foreword)
Dr Ian Gawler (Introduction)

RRP : AUD $21.95

For many people the diagnosis of cancer seems like a death sentence... but it need not necessarily be so. "Surviving Cancer" brings us stories of hope and inspiration, from people who have successfully recovered from all kinds of cancers- even some against medical odds.  We become aware of just how much more than pure medical/surgical treatment is involved in bringing about successful survival.  The way we live, think and focus all come into play.  Diet, meditation and finding the right mindset and strategies are powerful survival tools.  A holistic approach melding body, mind and spirit, allow the body to unleash its full healing power.

Each person tells his or her own story, in their own words, describing the ups and downs, highs and lows, in their very personal cancer journey.  They give us insight into their thought processes and what failures and successes they experienced in their battle. Each story shows remarkable honesty and a deep view of their emotions, devastations and hopes.

"Cancer might rob us of that blissful ignorance that once led us to believe that tomorrow stretches forever.  In exchange, we are granted the vision to see each today as precious, a gift to be used wisely and richly.  No one can take that away."

The book is edited by Paul Kraus, himself a cancer sufferer whose recent writing focus has been on health and healing.

"Surviving Cancer" shares real life examples of those who have recovered from cancer and provides encouragement and hope to others who are beginning their own journey.  Cancer can be beaten- and the more open you are to utilising everything possible, and the more you have in your cancer-fighting toolbox, the better your odds can be.  This book can help fill in some of the gaps and give inspiration and motivation.

Dr Ian Gawler

Dr Ian Gawler

Dr Ian Gawler is one of Australia's best known cancer survivors and advocates of a healthy lifestyle. His story offers hope and inspiration to people everywhere. The self help techniques that he developed have helped many to convert hope into sustained health and peace of mind. A pioneer in Mind/Body Medicine, Dr Gawler is known for his clarity and good humour. With a gift for translating ancient wisdom into a modern context, Ian has played a major part in popularizing meditation and other mind techniques in the western world. 
As a young veterinary surgeon and athlete, Ian developed bone cancer (osteogenic sarcoma). His leg was amputated in 1975. Later that year the cancer returned and at one point, Ian was expected to live for only a few weeks. Ian then developed an effective self help program with key principles: Good food, positive attitudes, meditation and loving support. 
Not content with just surviving, Dr Gawler began to share these principles with others. The cancer support group he began in 1981 was the first group in Australia to actively address the needs of patients and their families in coping with, and attempting to overcome, the many challenges cancer presents. The Gawler Foundation was formed in 1983 as a non-profit, non-denominational body to further his work. The Gawler name has become well known and respected throughout Australia and internationally as representing aholistic approach to health which improves both quality of life and survival times. 
Ian Gawler has studied meditation with Dr Ainslie Meares, Indian, Buddhist, Zen Christian and other Western Meditation Masters. He combines the intellect of the West with the insight of the East. 
He has published many books, "You Can Conquer Cancer", "Meditation Pure and Simple", "The Creative Power of Imagery" & "Peace of Mind".
