Author:Ronald C Davison
Ronald C Davison (1910-1985) was one of the pioneers of modern astrology. His knowledge of astrology was profound as there was virtually no aspect of it that he had not studied in depth. While his work was based in a scholarly tradition, he built upon classical knowledge to take astrology to new levels. It is no wonder that many of his writings continue to be recommended as set texts by astrological societies the world over.
In The Technique of Prediction, Davison looks at using a system called Secondary or Arabian directions to determine astrological trends and predict future events. With its analysis of features such as transits, progressions and directions, this book is essential reading for the advanced astrologer, yet written with a clarity of thought and supported with carefully selected examples that will make it accessible to the novice.

—— Mark Nepo, author of The One Life We're GivenRoger Clarke explores the endlessly fascinating subject of the dead who won't lie down, the places they haunt, as well as the hysteria and panic they inspire. Why and how over 500 years their existence has never been scientifically proved - but at the same time, never disproved. Ghosts are masters of the elusive and ambiguous, but Clarke is a master investigator
—— Fay Weldon , Daily MailAn intriguing, shivers-down-the-spine book
—— The LadyLively and absorbing ... [Clarke] has proven himself an ideal guide to this troubled and disorderly realm
—— Literary ReviewRoger Clarke tells . . . gloriously weird stories with real verve, and also a kind of narrative authority that tends to constrain the sceptical voice within. There's simply so many of these accounts, each unique to its own setting but having much in common with the rest, particularly poltergeist activity and ghostly apparitions. What prevents the reader from casually dismissing it all as the delusions of disturbed minds is the frequent presence of some unflappable English person unlikely to be rattled by a mere bump in the night . . . [an] erudite and richly entertaining book
—— New York TimesA fascinating social history ... exceptionally well written and researched
—— Starburst MagazineWhy do ghosts wear clothes? This is just one of a number of interesting questions raised by this jaunty book ... In a series of short, snappy chapters, Clarke examines the evidence for just about every ghost who ever drew, or withdrew, breath ... but A Natural History of Ghosts is also haunted by another story, lurking not very far beneath: the story of the author's childhood need to believe in ghosts, and the gradual erosion of that belief
—— Craig Brown , Daily MailA gripping history that traces the scientific and social aspects of ghostly sightings
—— TelegraphCompelling ... Research into the paranormal necessarily involves a fair degree of debunking, and Clarke is careful to be sceptical. The narrative of ghost-hunting is simultaneously a history and exposure of fraud and popular delusion ... [yet] Clarke retains a boyish and ... well-informed enthusiasm for his subject
