There once was a tree called Deru


There Once Was A Tree Called Deru,

published by Thorsons

(an imprint of HarperCollinsPublishers Aust.)

and by PerfectBound

(HarperCollins ebook publisher)

There once was a tree called Deru is a journey through one man's dreaming.  Kakkib li'Dthia is a wonderful and dynamic storyteller, teacher, physician and philosopher.  He combines the wisdom of a culture that goes back to the dawn of time, with the beauty of the poet's tongue, the rhythms of a songman, and the vitality, humour and sagacity that is uniquely his.  The Result is a book that enchants, guides, heals and repairs.

This is a book about the search for truth in the context of modern life.  It is about seeing things whole and deriving some meaning from holism.  Kakkib li'Dthia illuminates the way to a place of health, happiness, wellbeing and enlightenment.  He is uniquely qualified to write this book which focuses on the spiritual and socio-environmental factors of our lifestyles as an integral component of good health.  There once was a tree called Deru draws extensively from Australian Aboriginal medicine, and the traditional medicines of many other countries.
