    On the 50th anniversary of its release, Repeater is honoured to reissue John Boorman’s novelization of his cult film Zardoz with a new introduction by the director.In a post-apocalyptic 2393, society is split between an elite group of immortal Eternals and a brutal underclass that live in the outlands and are controlled by the Exterminators. Zed, an Exterminator who has come to question his role and the exact nature of the world he inhabits, stows away in the flying head that descends to issue guns and sermons to the Exterminators, and enters the world of the Eternals: the Vortex. An ostensible paradise of rationality and order, the Vortex is revealed as a place which is itself full of division and intrigue. Has he come here of his own free will? Or is he part of some larger competition among the Eternals? How has the Vortex come about, and what might come after? What is it in Zed that the Eternals lack, and is he there to bring them “the gift of death"? Expanding on and fleshing out the characters' histories and the themes of his riotous, psychedelic cult classic film Zardoz, Boorman’s novelization has become something of a cult itself, a fully realised visionary sci-fi novel by one of the most important directors of the twentieth century.

    Substance misuse is a significant clinical problem which affects large numbers of people worldwide. There is recognition that individuals who abuse substances are one of the more challenging clinical populations to engage in treatment. It has also previously been suggested that Treatment Acceptability is crucial for influencing the success of a specific treatment, as interventions viewed as more acceptable are more likely to be utilised and implemented. This book seeks to examine the literature on the concept of Distress Tolerance, Treatment Acceptability and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy within the world of addictions, and seeks to show how ACT may be a useful intervention for this population. Chapter one is a review of the literature on the concept of Distress Tolerance and smoking cessation. Chapter two is a qualitative investigation into the acceptability of ACT in the clinical area of substance misuse. Chapter three consists of a reflective paper which considers the lead researcher¿s relationship to ACT. This book is aimed at practitioners and researchers who are interested in these apparently interrelated concepts.

    In his eighty-eighth year, John Boorman CBE uses his time in lockdown to reflect on the splendour of the surrounding nature of County Wicklow. Poetry flows from his pen as he sits chairbound among his trees and flora: sycamores, beech, oak, redwood, shrubs and flowers, birdsong and shifting skies are luminously recorded as the world falls silent.
