The Seal of Prophets

The Seal of Prophets By Sayyid Muhammad Saeed al-Hakeem
2022 | 654 Pages | ISBN: 1943393966 | EPUB | 1 MB
From the arid deserts and mountains of the Arabian Peninsula rose a new civilization, challenging the entrenched forces of the past. Idols and civilizations were shaken by the meteoric rise of this new Muslim empire.The herald of this change was a new prophet, Muhammad ibn ʿAbd Allah (s). His mission was to confirm the messages of past prophets and seal their prophecies with a final message. How was he able to achieve this transformative change in Arab society? What cultural and literary heritage did he leave behind? What ethical principles did he embody and imbed in his followers?In short, what did Prophet Muhammad (s) achieve, and how was he able to achieve it? These are the central questions of The Seal of Prophets (s). The author, the Late Grand Ayatollah Sayyid M. S. al-Hakeem, answers these questions with the scholastic depth of a contemporary titan of the Islamic Seminary. Through an examination of the prophetic sīrah (biography) and ḥadīth (oral tradition), Sayyid al-Hakeem provides detailed answers backed by ample evidence of the Prophet's historic and moral achievements.

The Search for the Beautiful Woman A Cultural History of Japanese and Chinese Beauty

Cho Kyo, "The Search for the Beautiful Woman: A Cultural History of Japanese and Chinese Beauty "
English | ISBN: 1442218932 | 2012 | 302 pages | EPUB | 7 MB
While a slender body is a prerequisite for beauty today, plump women were considered ideal in Tang Dynasty China and Heian-period Japan. Starting around the Southern Song period in China, bound feet symbolized the attractiveness of women. But in Japan, shaved eyebrows and blackened teeth long were markers of loveliness.

For centuries, Japanese culture was profoundly shaped by China, but in complex ways that are only now becoming apparent. In this first full comparative history of the subject, Cho Kyo explores changing standards of feminine beauty in China and Japan over the past two millennia. Drawing on a rich array of literary and artistic sources gathered over a decade of research, he considers which Chinese representations were rejected or accepted and transformed in Japan. He then traces the introduction of Western aesthetics into Japan starting in the Meiji era, leading to slowly developing but radical changes in representations of beauty. Through fiction, poetry, art, advertisements, and photographs, the author vividly demonstrates how criteria of beauty differ greatly by era and culture and how aesthetic sense changed in the course of extended cultural transformations that were influenced by both China and the West.

Javier Lopez Rider, "The Search for Wellbeing and Health Between the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period"
English, Italiano| ISBN: 1803275774 | 2023 | 200 pages | PDF | 3 MB
The Search for Wellbeing and Health between the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period compiles a series of works on cosmetics and health care, covering different geographical areas of Europe. The studies also focus on different cultures, with some chapters dedicated to the Hebrew sphere, others to the Muslim world, and a larger percentage dealing with Christian society. The contributions make use of some very important written sources: recipe books and treatises on medicine and cosmetics, especially those preserved from the Late Middle Ages (13th-15th centuries) onwards. These manuscripts reveal the raw materials used to make certain products, whose origin could be vegetable, animal or mineral. Many were used to combat various ailments, but also to take care of the body aesthetically. Thus, there are remedies to heal the eyes; to avoid problems with the teeth and to make them shine white; creams and soaps for the skin; hair dyes to avoid grey hair; lotions to combat baldness; and even diverse gastronomic recipes to obtain inner wellbeing. Other contributions take a more practical perspective. Studies are included in which some of the ingredients and products are explored through experimental archaeology (chemical analysis) and faunal remains obtained from archaeological campaigns are analysed in the laboratory, showing the Christian diet. Overall the book demonstrates the importance of healthcare and cosmetics in past societies that had very significant technical knowledge of a multitude of completely natural and sustainable products.

The Seaside England's Love Affair

The Seaside: England's Love Affair by Madeleine Bunting
English | 2 May 2024 | ISBN: 1783787171, 1783787198 | True EPUB | 400 pages | 6.7 MB
"...a fascinating barometer of the state of the nation right now, in the wake of austerity, Brexit and Covid." - Travis Elborough

England's seaside is made up of a striking variety of coastlines including cliffs, coves, pebbled shore, wide sandy beaches, salt marshes, and estuaries cutting deep inland. On these coastal edges England's great holiday resorts grew up, developed in the early eighteenth century originally as spas for medicinal bathing but soon morphing into places of pleasure, entertainment, fantasy and adventure.
Acclaimed writer Madeleine Bunting journeyed clockwise around England from Scarborough to Blackpool to understand the enduring appeal of seaside towns, and what has happened to the golden sands, cold seas and donkey rides of childhood memory. Taking in some forty resorts, staying in hotels, caravans and holiday camps, she swims from their beaches and talks to their residents to delve into their landscapes, histories and contemporary plight.

The Second World War A Marxist History

Chris Bambery, "The Second World War: A Marxist History "
English | ISBN: 0745333028 | 2014 | 312 pages | AZW3 | 1323 KB
The Second World War casts a long shadow, portrayed as a necessary and paradigmatic war that defeated fascism. During recent wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere, US presidents and British prime ministers have tried to claim they were following in the footsteps of Winston Churchill by standing up to dictators.

In The Second World War Chris Bambery tests this position in a thorough account of the war and tries to understand why it still dominates TV history channels and school history books.
Bambery argues that the conflict ultimately was about a division of the world between the great powers, as well as a rising of ordinary people against fascism. He offers a complex and radical analysis unique in comparison to many modern and conventional histories of the war.

The Secret Agent In Search of America's Greatest World War II Spy

Stephan Talty, "The Secret Agent: In Search of America's Greatest World War II Spy "
English |ASIN : B00EOER0G0 | 2014 | 86 pages | AZW3 | 3 MB
Eric Erickson was the most important American spy of World War II. He also had a secret to keep.

In 1942, the Brooklyn-born Erickson was a millionaire oil mogul who volunteered for a dangerous mission inside the Third Reich: locating the top-secret synthetic oil plants that kept the German war machine running. To fool the Nazis, Erickson played the role of a collaborator. He hung a portrait of Hitler in his apartment and "disowned" his Jewish best friend, then flew to Berlin, where he charmed Himmler and signed lucrative oil deals with the architects of the Final Solution. All the while, he was visiting the oil refineries and passing their coordinates to Allied Bomber Command, who destroyed the plants in a series of B-17 raids, helping to end the war early.
After the war, Erickson's was revealed as a secret agent and received the Medal of Freedom for his bravery. William Holden even played him in a hit Hollywood movie. For a brief moment in the early '60s, Erickson was the most famous spy in the world. His secret? He hadn't played a Nazi collaborator. He'd actually been one - a war profiteer who'd made millions of trading with Hitler before having a change of heart. Black-listed by the Allies and disowned by his family, Erickson had volunteered for the spy mission in order to redeem himself, and ended up saving thousands of Allied lives.
Based on newly-discovered archives in Sweden, The Secret Agent is a riveting piece of narrative nonfiction that tells the true story of Erickson's remarkable life for the first time.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Stephan Talty is the author of five acclaimed non-fiction books, including Agent Garbo: The Brilliant, Eccentric Spy Who Tricked Hitler and Saved D-Day. He's written for the New York Times Magazine, GQ, Men's Journal and many other publications.

The Secret Fire of Alchemy Kriya Yoga, Kundalini, and Shamanism

The Secret Fire of Alchemy: Kriya Yoga, Kundalini, and Shamanism by Kevin B. Turner
English | February 4, 2025 | ISBN: 9798888500699, ASIN: B0CY9LKM98 | True EPUB | 320 pages | 13 MB
A spiritual journey of alchemical initiation in both Eastern and Western traditions

* Describes the initiatory stages of Kriya Yoga and Tibetan Buddhism with high-level yogis and lamas
* Shares the author's experiences of spontaneous dream initiations, astral travels, Kundalini awakening, and an out-of-body journey through the Bardo to a past life-which led him to pursue spiritual studies in Asia
* Reveals the profound parallels between Western Alchemy's search for the Philosopher's Stone and the Indo-Tibetan quest for Spiritual Liberation
Guided by a profound series of dream initiations, astral travels, intense kundalini activation, and an out-of-body journey to a past life, Kevin Turner embarks on an around-the-world quest in pursuit of the secret fire of alchemical enlightenment.
Detailing his intensive studies to discover the meaning behind his spontaneous nighttime initiations, Turner finds resonance with Goethe's alchemical quest and Descartes' assertion that the pineal gland is the seat of the soul. Turning to Eastern traditions, the author finds exact descriptions of his experiences in books on kundalini yoga and answers to his questions about death, rebirth, and the soul's Immortal Light in writings on Tibetan Buddhism-as well as profound parallels between the alchemists' search for the Philosopher's Stone and the Indo-Tibetan quest for Liberation.
Realizing his calling to accelerate the evolution of the soul, Turner travels to Asia where he meets the last living disciple of Sri Yukteswar, Swami Paramahansa Hariharananda Giri, who initiates him into Kriya Yoga. In his pursuit of the Eastern alchemical tradition, he then travels to the Himalayas in Nepal to study with Shamarpa Rinpoche at Nagi Gompa Monastery. Turner then journeys to Taipei to study Taoist alchemy and Tai Chi before returning to Europe to renew his studies of Western alchemy.
Deeply personal and spiritually uplifting, Turner's story of initiation into alchemical traditions of East and West offers insight into the initiatory process known as the "Great Work" and powerful guidance to others on the spiritual path toward enlightenment.

The Secret Public How Music Moved Queer Culture From the Margins to the Mainstream...

The Secret Public: How Music Moved Queer Culture From the Margins to the Mainstream (US Edition) by Jon Savage
English | February 4, 2025 | ISBN: 1324096101, 9781324096115 | True EPUB | 784 pages | 33.2 MB
A monumental history of the gay influence on popular culture, from the rise of Little Richard to the collapse of disco in 1979: award-winning author Jon Savage takes us on a fast and captivating journey through the history of pop music as seen through the eyes of queer artists.

Jon Savage, the author of the canonical England's Dreaming, explodes new ground in this electrifying history of pop music from 1955 through 1979. In demonstrating that gay and lesbian artists were responsible for many of the greatest cultural breakthroughs in the last half of the twentieth century, he shows that it was their secretly encoded music―appealing to a closeted but greatly oppressed public―which led to the historic dismantling of discriminatory gay laws and the fusion of queer and straight culture.
Fittingly, Savage's kaleidoscopic work begins with the pomp-and-pompadour appearance of Little Richard, whose relentlessly driving sound, replete with gospel shrieks and sexual contortions, enthralled a generation of 1950s stultified white teenagers. Things soon went mainstream, as Elvis enthralled a nation with his seductive low moans and bump-and-grind twists, heavily derivative of Black music, while James Dean and Rock Hudson became the face of 1950s Hollywood; yet this explosion of queer expression remained covert and could not be accepted for what it was.
While music, with supporting roles from cinema and fashion, became the key medium through which homosexuality could be clandestinely enacted, overt expressions of gay behavior were met with arrests and crackdowns. While hippies reveled in 1967's "Summer of Love," gays remained "harassed by police, demonized by the media and politicians, imprisoned simply for being who they were." J. Edgar Hoover, himself a closeted homosexual, continued to spy on homosexual deviants; CBS's Mike Wallace aired an invidious show about homosexuality; and the New York police continued to raid gay bars.
Yet the music itself produced a cultural eruption that simply could not be stanched. While Bette Midler sang "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boys" to a Continental Baths audience of 600 gay men, all naked except for towels, David Bowie "blew the whole topic wide open" and "became the most totemic pop star of his generation." Even though roadblocks remained, the gear-grinding crunch of the music signaled that the gay civil rights movement could no longer be suppressed.
Ending the narrative with the sudden collapse of disco, The Secret Public asserts then that the genie was out of the bottle, that queer culture had finally entered the mainstream, producing a transcendent vision of pop culture that could never be marginalized again.

The Seduction of Space Cruising French Cinema

The Seduction of Space: Cruising French Cinema
by Jules O'Dwyer
English | 2025 | ISBN: 1517916836 | 232 Pages | True PDF | 1.74 MB

A bold and far-reaching new study of French queer cinema reimagines the relationship between sexuality and space
Spatiality has long been a crucial and potent lens for understanding French culture and aesthetics. While canonical greats of French cinema such as Jean-Luc Godard, Agnès Varda, and Louis Malle invoked the notion of flânerie to explore ideas of modernism, spatial exploration, and urban sociality, Jules O'Dwyer demonstrates how a more recent generation of French queer filmmakers continues to engage with-and contest-this legacy by focusing attention on the cognate practice of cruising.
Through the work of Jacques Nolot, Sébastien Lifshitz, Christophe Honoré, Vincent Dieutre, Alain Guiraudie, and others, The Seduction of Space draws film theory, queer studies, and spatial inquiry into close proximity to examine the politics of cruising and the gendering of space. Making the case that cinema not only documents the queer spaces of the past but continues to produce them, O'Dwyer maps the relationships between sex and spatiality as he takes up such varied topics as public sex in the porn theater, racial eroticization in the banlieue, and the ecocritical valences of rural cruising.
Foregrounding the crucial role that spatiality plays in shaping the parameters of France's visual cultures and political imaginary, The Seduction of Space is both an urgent queer reconceptualization of this tradition and a clarion call for film scholars to tarry with the politics of sexuality in all its messiness.

The Selected Letters of John Cage

The Selected Letters of John Cage edited by Laura Kuhn
English | June 7, 2016 | ISBN: 0819575917, 0819580872 | True PDF | 673 pages | 17.99 MB
Letters of an avant-garde icon

This selection of over five hundred letters gives us the life of John Cage with all the intelligence, wit, and inventiveness that made him such an important and groundbreaking composer and performer. The missives range from lengthy reports of his early trips to Europe in the 1930s through his years with the dancer Merce Cunningham, and shed new light on his growing eminence as an iconic performance artist of the American avant-garde. Cage's joie de vivre resounds in these letters―fully annotated throughout―in every phase of his career, and includes correspondence with Peter Yates, David Tudor, and Pierre Boulez, among others. Above all, they reveal his passionate interest in people, ideas, and the arts. The voice is one we recognize from his writings: singular, profound, irreverent, and funny. Not only will readers take pleasure in Cage's correspondence with and commentary about the people and events of a momentous and transformative time in the arts, they will also share in his meditations on the very nature of art.
A deep pleasure to read, this volume presents an extraordinary portrait of a complex, brilliant man who challenged and changed the artistic currents of the twentieth century.

Helena Panczova, "The Septuagint: Multilateral Focus on the Text: Multilateral Focus on the Text: Proceedings of the Conference Held in Br"
English | ISBN: 250361017X | 2024 | 317 pages | PDF | 3 MB
The phenomenon of the Septuagint is a matter of interest for several areas of research - not only for Old Testament scholars, but also for researchers of Hellenistic Judaism, patristic exegesis, translation theory and practice, and others. What they all have in common is the text of the Septuagint. Unfortunately, the research is often so compartmentalized that scholars do not know about each other's work and cannot profit from it. The aim of the conference "The Septuagint: Multilateral Focus on the Text" was to bring together scholars studying the text of the Septuagint it its various aspects: its reconstruction, peculiarities of language, and lexical semantics, in their relationship with the Semitic background and within the Greek-speaking world, whether Jewish or Christian. These different approaches to the same matter are bound to lead to mutual enrichment.

The Seven Sayings of Jesus on the Cross Their Circumstances and Meaning

The Seven Sayings of Jesus on the Cross: Their Circumstances and Meaning By Murray J. Harris
2016 | 124 Pages | ISBN: 1498237533 | EPUB | 1 MB
Who of us can possibly imagine the excruciating pain of being crucified? But further, who would imagine that in the midst of this ghastly punishment that brings on unrelenting headaches and mental disorientation, a crucified man would actually give thought to the needs of others? This book explores in detail the nature of crucifixion and then invites the reader to listen in stunned silence to the amazing seven sayings of Jesus of Nazareth while hanging on the cross, as he focuses his attention on others in the first three sayings, and only then on his own distressing situation. His last four sayings give expression to his utter spiritual and physical anguish and conclude with a cry of victory and then a cry in which he commits himself to God.

The Shadow System Mass Incarceration and the American Family

Sylvia A Harvey, "The Shadow System: Mass Incarceration and the American Family"
English | ISBN: 1568588801 | 2020 | 288 pages | AZW3 | 2 MB
From an award-winning journalist, a searing exposé of the effects of the mass incarceration crisis on families - including the 2.7 million American children who have a parent locked up.

In The Shadow System, award-winning journalist Sylvia A. Harvey follows the fears, challenges, and small victories of three families struggling to live within the confines of a brutal system. In Florida, a young father tries to maintain a relationship with his daughter despite a sentence of life without parole. In Kentucky, where the opioid epidemic has led to the increased incarceration of women, many of whom are white, one mother fights for custody of her children. In Mississippi, a wife steels herself for her husband's thirty-ninth year in prison and does her best to keep their sons close.
Through these stories, Harvey reveals a shadow system of laws and regulations enacted to dehumanize the incarcerated and profit off their families - from mandatory sentencing laws, to restrictions on prison visitation, to astronomical charges for brief phone calls.

The Signs of No (Brave & Brilliant)
by Judith Pond
English | 2024 | ISBN: 177385481X | 384 Pages | PDF | 3 MB

Rose is divorced, fifty, and estranged from her daughter. At a student art opening on a rainy March evening she meets Morrison, a genial hoarder and womb-twin survivor, who leads us to Abbey, a dancer who is losing the chance to become a mother, who leads us to Iris, a bright ten-year-old doing her best to handle her family breaking apart.
When her daughter vanishes completely, Rose seeks out her old friend Mab, the cheerful keeper of little bad signs. Following her only clue, a postcard bearing just a signature and a photo of a pristine lake, Rose chases after her daughter and her past mistakes. A ghost on the shore of Maxhamish Lake may hold the key to the true mystery, one unknown even to Rose, buried deep in the heart.
The Signs of No is a story of guilt and grief, of finding one's footing in middle life, and of discovery and reinvention. It traces the spiderweb cracks of invisible loss, common and uncommon, the losses that go without memorial or acknowledgment. It is a story about women, about motherhood, and the ways middle-aged women are underestimated, even by themselves.

The Silence of St. Thomas Three Essays

The Silence of St. Thomas: Three Essays By Josef Pieper
2020 | 128 Pages | ISBN: 1890318787 | EPUB | 1 MB
A single theme runs through the three essays on St. Thomas gather in this book. It is the theme of mystery or, more exactly, the response of the searching human intellect to the fact of mystery. Both the fact and the response are suggested in a short biography of St. Thomas that forms the first essay and are then sketched out in detail by a presentation of the "negative element" in his philosophy. The third essay shows that contemporary Existentialism is in basic agreement with the philosophia perennis on this fundamental element of philosophical thinking.

The Silenced Muse Emily Hale, T. S. Eliot, and the Role of a Lifetime

The Silenced Muse: Emily Hale, T. S. Eliot, and the Role of a Lifetime by Sara Fitzgerald
English | September 3, 2024 | ISBN: 1538190354 | True EPUB | 332 pages | 8.1 MB
The first full-length biography of the longtime secret love of the celebrated poet T. S. Eliot, Emily Hale, called "heartbreaking" by Publishers Weekly and The Washington Post calls "a meticulously researched book that reads like a novel."

In January 2020, the largest and most eagerly awaited cache of new materials written by the Nobel-Prize-winning poet T. S. Eliot was finally opened: the 1,131 letters he sent Emily Hale, his little-known American love. But even as Eliot scholars explore Hale's impact on Eliot's work, a tantalizing question has not been fully answered: who was Emily Hale?
Sara Fitzgerald's The Silenced Muse: Emily Hale, T. S. Eliot, and the Role of a Lifetime is the first full-length biography devoted to Hale, telling her side of a complicated relationship. Based on the embargoed letters and Fitzgerald's extensive research into Hale's life and times, this book brings to light that Hale was much more than just a muse to a literary celebrity. Hale overcame personal hardship to pursue a career as a professor of speech and drama at prominent American women's colleges and schools. She was a talented amateur actress and director, sharing the stage with others who went on to notable professional careers. Behind the scenes, she also guided Eliot as he began to explore playwriting with works such as Murder in the Cathedral.
Hale's story is challenging to wholly uncover because the Boston clergyman's daughter was by nature reticent and humble. More critically, Eliot arranged for nearly all of her letters to be destroyed. The Silenced Muse finally reveals that Hale's story is not that of a lover scorned, but rather a woman who was herself gifted and celebrated by her students and peers.
