Frederick W. Bunce, "Yantras of Deities and Their Numerological Foundations: An Iconographic Consideration"
English | 2006 | ISBN: 8124601747 | PDF | pages: 309 | 13.6 mb
Hinduism is known for the bewildering profusion of its deities, who are represented not only in two or three dimensional anthropomorphic images, but also in abstract configurations, known as yantras. In yantras is, thus, seen almost a parallel with the surfeit of deities in Hindu tradition. Literally meaning an 'instrument', 'apparatus' or a 'talisman', yantra is a kind of mystical diagram used, in tantra, for both meditation and invoking a divinity, and is believed to possess/arouse occult powers.

Drawn only by the adept: the ones schooled in this arcane, highly intricate process, and energized by siddh mantras, these seemingly innocuous geometrical figures are employed for any number of reasons or desires: whether to attain wealth, ward off disease, beget a son, vanquish enemies, or even to cause somebody's death. This book, the latest from Professor Bunce, highlights the essential import of these innocuous-looking, yet enigmatic, diagrams surfacing from the occult Practices of the tantrics.
The author, an internationally known scholar of Oriental Art, examines a range of tantric yantras, with their varieties, applications, modes of construction and, above all, their iconographic features. Also inter- woven in his text are lucid descriptions of all else associated with a yantra, notably, its deity, its specific purpose, its predominant and secondary numbers and its mantra.
Carrying beautiful visual representations of over a hundred yantras, Professor Bunce's study holds out enduring appeal to the readers concerned not only with the iconography of tantric yantras, but their mystifying under-pinnings as well.

You Have Unleashed a Storm: A Descent into Chaos During America's Most Explosive Era of Radical Violence―A Revealing Account of Domestic Terrorism and ... Radicalism in '60s and '70s New York City
by David Viola
English | 2025 | ISBN: 1335013849 | 400 Pages | True ePUB | 3.3 MB

The panoramic, untold story of domestic terrorism and political radicalism in '60s and '70s New York City and its echoes in our current moment
New York City in the 1960s was the beating heart of the United States, a global metropolis thriving on its abundance and diversity. But in a short time, "Gotham" went through an extraordinary transition. The postwar golden years gave way to a frantic era of social, political, racial, and economic turmoil. Groups with their own distinct ideological aims gained a presence in the city. And with this frenzied new era came a new wave of violence.
Terrorism has had an impact on the course of US history far greater and for far longer than is commonly understood. The ripple effects of this largely forgotten moment-and importantly, how the authorities countered-have played a significant role in how contemporary American life has unfolded.
Professor at the Center on Terrorism at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, David Viola unveils archival collections, newly declassified files, and preserved court records in this groundbreaking account of New York City's divergent radical groups, bringing to light a candid picture of remarkable people in a remarkable setting.

Your Shopping Superpower: Follow Your Values and Better Your World One Purchase at a Time
by Diane Osgood
English | 2025 | ISBN: 0757325262 | 288 Pages | True ePUB | 4.9 MB

Your Shopping Superpower provides an insightful guide and strategies for shoppers to align the contents in their carts with their personal values.
Are there harmful toxins in your food and body care? Who makes the products you purchase and under what conditions? What impact does the production of these items have on the environment? If 70% of the U.S. economy is driven by consumer spending, then every purchase we make has a physical and social impact on the world. Unfortunately, our shopping choices can unintentionally contribute to climate change and social injustice. Many people wish they could do more to combat these unjust and unsustainable outcomes. So what is the connection between our purchases and this impact? Your Shopping Superpower explores this important question and offers a comprehensive guide that navigates toward positive and sustainable shopping practices by providing pragmatic tips, tools and revealing how our habits can help reduce climate change, support companies with equitable workplace conditions, and foster diverse, local businesses.
Broken into categories including People, Planet, Community, and Health, Diane Osgood expands on key issues regarding climate degradation, labor exploitation, products containing carcinogens and toxins, and the importance of supporting local, women-owned, and minority-owned businesses while covering an array of products that include food, fashion, gifts, household items, and personal care. Addressing shoppers' doubts about whether consumer choices truly have an impact and their concerns about costs and accessibility, Osgood shows how making these easy changes fosters happiness. With helpful diagrams and firsthand stories on climate and social injustice, Your Shopping Superpower informs and guides shoppers on how to:
Implement one change per week
Identify trustworthy certifications, rating systems, and apps
Detect greenwashing and other misleading marketing
Determine which purchases to switch for maximum impact
Handle and approach choices that aren't easy or affordable
By changing what we buy, we can initiate the change in our economy's environmental footprint and social impact. To enact change, we must start simple; it's about progress, not perfection.

by Nick Bentley
English | 2025 | ISBN: 3031865693 | 319 Pages | True ePUB | 0.5 MB

This bookoffers a unique interdisciplinary examination of how youth subcultures have been articulated and constructed in selected fiction from the post-war period to the twenty-first century.

Zak El-Ramly, "Zakisms: Life, Simply Stated"
English | 2015 | ISBN: 0986297801 | EPUB | pages: 88 | 3.3 mb
Zakisms: Life, Simply Stated represents the insight that Dr. Zak El-Ramly has gained through his personal, social, and professional life. Zakisms represent principles that Zak has managed to articulate and express as quotes. The book also captures other people's quotes that rhyme with Zak's views on life.

Zak recognizes that many of us learn the same life lessons; the difficulty is recognizing the applicability of our experiences to others and taking the time to express them in words. Zakisms is the articulation of such lessons, as in the last few years Zak has recognized the added value of verbalizing his insights to make them useable and possibly transferable. Zakisms highlight the ironic nature of life and the eternal need for compromise.

Zbig: The Life of Zbigniew Brzezinski, America's Great Power Prophet by Edward Luce
English | May 13th, 2025 | ISBN: 1982173645 | 560 pages | True EPUB | 14.78 MB
An intimate and masterful biography of Zbigniew Brzezinski-President Carter's national security advisor and one of America's leading geopolitical thinkers-from one of the finest columnists and political writers at work today.

Zbigniew Brzezinski was a key architect of the Soviet Union's demise, which ended the Cold War. A child of Warsaw-the heart of central Europe's bloodlands-Brzezinski turned his fierce resentment at his homeland's razing by Nazi Germany and the Red Army into a lifelong quest for liberty. Born the year that Joseph Stalin consolidated power, and dying a few months into Donald Trump's first presidency, Brzezinski was shaped by and in turn shaped the global power struggles of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. As counsel to US presidents from John F. Kennedy to Barack Obama, and chief foreign policy figure of the late 1970s under Jimmy Carter, Brzezinski converted his acclaim as a Sovietologist into Washington power. With Henry Kissinger, his lifelong rival with whom he had a fraught on-off relationship, he personified the new breed of foreign-born scholar who thrived in America's "Cold War University"-and who ousted Washington's gentlemanly class of WASPs who had run US foreign policy for so long.
Brzezinski's impact, aided by his unusual friendship with the Polish-born John Paul II, sprang from his knowledge of Moscow's "Achilles heel"-the fact that its nationalities, such as the Ukrainians, and satellite states, including Poland, yearned to shake off Moscow's grip. Neither a hawk nor a dove, Brzezinski was a biting critic of George W. Bush's Iraq War and an early endorser of Obama. Because he went against the DC grain of joining factions, and was on occasion willing to drop Democrats for Republicans, Brzezinski is something of history's orphan. His historic role has been greatly underweighted. In the almost cinematic arc of his life can be found the grand narrative of the American century and great power struggle that followed.

Zen Ecology: Green and Engaged Living in Response to the Climate Crisis by Christopher Ives
English | March 11th, 2025 | ISBN: 1614299544 | 272 pages | True EPUB | 4.14 MB
Discover a way of living that can help you slow down and stay grounded-and at the same time reduce your ecological impact and engage more fully with the climate crisis.

It may seem as though living ecologically and engaging in activism sacrifices our own enjoyment and happiness on the altar of doing the right thing. In this book, professor, naturalist, and Buddhist author Christopher Ives offers an alternative: a way of living that can actually be more fulfilling than the modern consumerist lifestyle. Rather than deprivation, it can bring us richness.
In Zen Ecology, Chris outlines his environmental ethic as a series of concentric circles, beginning with ourselves and then moving outward into our communities, all the while focusing on spaciousness, mindfulness, generosity, and contentment. At the individual level, we deal with distraction, clutter, and ecological harm. Here, Chris offers ways to help us pay attention, simplify our lives, and lower our impact. Then, we explore how to envision our home as a "place of the Way," with Zen monastic life as a model for this-without having to be a monk! Next, we realize our embeddedness in nature and emplace ourselves in community with others, including other forms of life. Finally, we build on this basis to engage in activism to create a world that is more supportive of ecological health and spiritual fulfillment.
In this way, we avoid the two extremes of apathy and burnout, and uncover a way of living that is simple, joyful, embedded in nature, connected to others in community, and supportive of collective action.

Norbert Blößner, Peter Roth, "Zu Homer, Platon, Thukydides und Paulus: Mit einem autobiographischen Brief"
Deutsch | 2021 | ISBN: 3110749009 | PDF | pages: 346 | 2.0 mb
Der Regensburger Gräzist Ernst Heitsch († 2019) hat nach seiner Emeritierung seine Gesammelten Schriften in drei Bänden selbst herausgegeben. Da er nach Abschluss dieser Sammlung 15 Jahre lang weiterpubliziert hat, sollen hier in einem vierten Band die kleineren Arbeiten aus dem Spätwerk präsentiert werden.

Der Band versammelt Studien aus den Jahren 2001 bis 2017, die in Zeitschriften, Akademieabhandlungen und Sammelbänden veröffentlicht sind. Sie gelten Homers Ilias, Platon, Thukydides und dem Apostel Paulus. Dazu kommen ein hier erstmals veröffentlichter autobiographischer Brief aus dem Jahr 2008 und ein ergänztes Schriftenverzeichnis. In vielen dieser Arbeiten nimmt Heitsch Gedanken auf, die ihn viele Jahrzehnte lang beschäftigt haben, und betrachtet sie vor dem Hintergrund eines langen Forscherlebens neu. Charakteristisch für sein Spätwerk ist außerdem, dass es nicht allein an den Fachphilologen adressiert ist, sondern auch einer weiteren Leserschaft die Einsicht vermitteln möchte, dass die philologisch-wissenschaftliche Beschäftigung mit der Geistesgeschichte Griechenlands einen wichtigen Beitrag dazu leisten kann, Grundfragen der menschlichen Existenz wenn nicht zu beantworten, so doch hinreichend präzise zu stellen.

(Mis)Reading Different Cultures : Interpreting International Children's Literature from Asia By Yukari Takimoto Amos; Daniel Miles Amos
2018 | 135 Pages | ISBN: 1475836899 | EPUB | 1 MB
Teachers' selection of the literature they use in instruction frequently depends on how they interpret, in other words whether or not they accurately take in the authors' perspectives. This point presents a particular challenge in the selection of international literature. International literature reflects a country's and a region's unique cultural values and practices and is usually not written for people outside the country of origin. Therefore, it is possible that readers in other countries may not understand/be aware of those values and misinterpret the stories. Since Asian and the Western countries, including the U.S., hold maximum sociocultural differences and the perceived cultural distance has remained significantly wide, reading and interpreting literature from Asia can present tremendous challenges to Americans. The book addresses the challenges teachers face when interpreting and teaching with international children's literature from Asia. The book engages readers with comprehensive coverage on theories, concepts, pitfalls, and applications when endeavoring to use international children's literature from Asia in classrooms. The book should be used to teach how interpretations/worldviews vary by cultures, and how power influences such interpretations/worldviews. Strategies and frameworks will be provided relating to how teachers can be more culturally conscious of their own biases and develop culturally authentic interpretations.
