What makes this Chaos Magick book special?The book is original (not "more of the same"). The author, as a mage, gave his personal perspective to the whole work.Does not include the dusty ancient rituals of the Golden Dawn, Jewish Goetia, or the egregore spells from H.P Lovecraft's "Necronomicon." This work contains new and unique rituals, based on Sumerian and Egyptian magick, adapted to Chaos Magick, Egyptian ogdoad, Isfet, Seth and other chaos deities.It contains correlations between rituals, symbolism, gnosis and quantum physics. The book contains a chapter on Memetic Magick as well as teachings for personal empowerment.It is a complete book with a lot of practical information, written by a real human and a practitioner of magick. It does not contain dozens of pages of "chitty talk" theoretical information, nor was it written by I.A. Egyptian "hekau" mantras for personal empowerment.The connection between magick and other areas, such as psychology, shamanism, shadow work with Egyptian archetypes, scrying with the chaosphere, provides a broad view of chaos magick.

Since it first appeared in 1971, "Rise to Globalism" has sold hundreds of thousands of copies. The ninth edition of this classic survey, now updated through the administration of George W. Bush, offers a concise and informative overview of the evolution of American foreign policy from 1938 to the present, focusing on such pivotal events as World War II, the Cuban Missile Crisis, Vietnam, and 9/11. Examining everything from the Iran-Contra scandal to the rise of international terrorism, the authors analyze - in light of the enormous global power of the United States - how American economic aggressiveness, racism, and fear of Communism have shaped the nation's evolving foreign policy.
In March of 1980, Le Nouvel Observateur published the final interviews between the philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre, then blind and debilitated, and his young assistant, Benny Levy. Readers immediately denounced the interviews as distorted and fraudulent for portraying a Sartre who had abandoned his leftist convictions, rejected his most intimate friends, and cast aside his fundamental beliefs in favor of a messianic Judaism. Sartre's supporters argued that it was his orthodox interlocutor, Levy, who had twisted the words of the ailing philosopher. Yet, shortly before his death, Sartre confirmed the authenticity of the interviews and their puzzling content. Here, presented in translation, the interviews are framed by two provocative essays by Benny Levy, accompanied by a comprehensive introduction from noted Sartre authority Ronald Aronson, which places the interviews in biographical and philosophical perspective to demonstrate how they confirm and contribute to Sartre's overall philosophy. This absorbing volume at last contextualizes and elucidates the final thoughts of a brilliant and influential mind.
I am. We are. That is enough. Now we have to start. These are the opening words of Ernst Bloch s first major work, The Spirit of Utopia, written mostly in 1915-16, published in its first version just after the First World War, republished five years later, 1923, in the version here presented for the first time in English translation. The Spirit of Utopia is one of the great historic books from the beginning of the century, but it is not an obsolete one. In its style of thinking, a peculiar amalgam of biblical, Marxist, and Expressionist turns, in its analytical skills deeply informed by Simmel, taking its information from both Hegel and Schopenhauer for the groundwork of its metaphysics of music but consistently interpreting the cultural legacy in the light of a certain Marxism, Bloch s Spirit of Utopia is a unique attempt to rethink the history of Western civilizations as a process of revolutionary disruptions and to reread the artworks, religions, and philosophies of this tradition as incentives to continue disrupting.
This is the second in a series of books focusing upon the history of folk music. This volume concentrates on the period that continues to fuel popular music to the present. It was an exciting time, one that changed the complexity of folk music. Included are biographies and discographies of such noted personalities as Harry Belafonte, Buffy St. Marie, Gordon Lightfoot, Joni Mitchell, Simon and Garfunkel, and Peter, Paul and Mary. With information on influential artists from other countries (the Clancy Brothers, Miriam Makeba and others), people "behind the scenes" and major political figures, here is a solid representation of an epoch that still generates enormous enthusiasm.

WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY BILLY BRAGGOver the last seven decades, some of rock 'n' roll's most celebrated figureheads have flirted with the imagery and theatre of the Third Reich. From Keith Moon and Vivian Stanshall kitting themselves out in Nazi uniforms to Siouxsie Sioux and Sid Vicious brandishing swastikas in the pomp of punk, generations of performers have associated themselves in troubling ways with the aesthetics, mass hysteria and even ideology of Nazism. Whether shock factor, stupidity, or crass attempt at subversion, rock 'n' roll has indulged these associations in a way not accepted by any other artform. But how accountable should fans, the media, and the music industry be for what has often seemed a sleazy fascination with the eroticised perversions of a fascist regime?In This Ain't Rock 'n' Roll, award-winning music historian Daniel Rachel navigates these turbulent waters with extraordinary delicacy and care, asking us to look anew at the artists that have defined us, inspired us and given us joy - and consider why so many have been drawn to the imagery of a movement responsible for the twentieth century's worst atrocities. Alongside a sensitive history of the Holocaust and an examination of the place it holds in our cultural consciousness, Rachel asks essential questions of actions often overlooked or underplayed, whilst neither casting sweeping judgement nor offering easy answers. In doing so, he asks us to reassess the history of rock 'n' roll and sheds new light on the grim echoes of the Third Reich in popular culture and the legacy of twentieth (and twenty-first) century history as it defines us today.

La arrolladora historia de los animales que sobrevivieron al apocalipsis y han heredado la Tierra. «Auge y reinado de los mamíferos es nada menos que un thriller que revela la suerte, los giros evolutivos y las catástrofes casi apocalípticas que han permitido a los mamíferos, nosotros incluidos, llegar hasta hoy en día».The Guardian Tras su exitoso Auge y caída de los dinosaurios, calificado como «la biografía definitiva de los dinosaurios» por Scientific American, el paleontólogo estadounidense Steve Brusatte retoma el pulso de la historia explorando la extraordinaria familia que sobrevivió al asteroide: los mamíferos, entre los cuales nos incluimos. Esta trepidante narración, que recorre casi sesenta y seis millones de años de enormes cataclismos y glaciaciones, comienza con un invierno nuclear que duró dos años. Entre sus protagonistas encontramos a tigres dientes de sable, mamuts lanudos, armadillos del tamaño de un coche, osos de las cavernas que pesan tres veces más que un oso pardo e incluso algunos tipos de humanos, como los neandertales.El increíble y variado linaje de los mamíferos no solo se apropió del mundo, sino que también desarrolló los rasgos característicos que han sustentado su historia de éxito. Pero también de fracaso, ya que Brusatte recrea asimismo los mundos perdidos que habitaron nuestros predecesores, desde glaciaciones hasta catástrofes volcánicas. En este increíble relato, casi una novela de suspense, se entrelaza el trabajo detectivesco que el autor y otros científicos, gracias a los registros fósiles y a técnicas de la tecnología más vanguardista, han realizado para reconstruir nuestros conocimientos de una historia que llega hasta nosotros.La crítica ha dicho:«La primera película de Jurassic Park, en 1993, creó la vocación de un buen puñado de futuros paleontólogos que aún estaban en el colegio. Brusatte fue uno de ellos. No se sorprendan si en las próximas décadas este libro hace que más chicos y chicas decidan centrarse en un mamífero del tamaño de un ratón en lugar de en el megalosaurio».The Times «Brusattees un gran narrador... Da vida a la curiosa variedad de primeros mamíferos».The Explorers Journal. «Como Indiana Jones, pero con fósiles».Coyote and Thunder «La lectura de este libro me ha recordado lo que más me gusta de la geología, la paleontología y la evolución de la vida en la Tierra: este planeta tiene historias épicas».Science News«Increíble. A través de una prosa lúcida y abundantes ilustraciones describe la explosión de los mamíferos que siguió a la desaparición de los dinosaurios. Imprescindible en cualquier lista de los mejores libros de divulgación científica del año».Kirkus Reviews«Una saga a gran escala: la historia de cómo nuestros antepasados sobrevivieron a un apocalipsis y cómo su progenie se alzó para gobernar el mundo... maravillosamente contada».The Times Book of The Week «Destaca por su brillante equilibrio entre los detalles científicos y una narración ágil y eficaz».New Scientist
El nuevo lanzamiento del Rey del Terror es una colección de doce relatos que lo afianza, una vez más, como uno de los mejores narradores de nuestro tiempo. PRIMERA EDICIÓN ESPECIAL CON SOBRECUBIERTA REVERSIBLE. «¿Te gusta la oscuridad? Perfecto. A mí también» es cómo inicia Stephen King el epílogo de este nuevo y magnífico volumen de doce relatos que se adentran en la parte más sombría de la vida. King lleva más de medio siglo siendo un maestro literario, y estas historias sobre el destino, la mortalidad, la suerte y los múltiples pliegos de la realidad son tan ricas y absorbentes como sus novelas. El autor escribe «para sentir la emoción de dejar atrás la rutina», y en Si te gusta la oscuridad los lectores sentirán, una y otra vez, esa misma emoción. «Dos cabrones con talento» nos revelará el secreto de cómo estos dos caballeros adquirieron sus habilidades. En «El mal sueño de Danny Coughlin», una explosión psíquica inesperada pone patas arriba la vida de docenas de personas, incluido Danny, con catastróficos resultados. «Serpientes de cascabel», secuela de la novela Cujo, nos presenta a un viudo que viaja a Florida buscando descanso y, en su lugar, se topa con una inesperada herencia? con más de una atadura. En «Los soñadores», un taciturno veterano de la guerra de Vietnam acepta un encargo y descubre que hay algunos rincones del universo que deberían quedar inexplorados. «Hombre Respuesta» nos plantea si el don de la clarividencia es una bendición o una maldición, y nos recuerda que incluso una vida marcada por la tragedia tiene significado. La habilidad del Rey del Terror para sorprender, inspirar y provocarnos tanto miedo como consuelo al mismo tiempo no tiene parangón. Cada uno de estos relatos contiene sus propios escalofríos, alegrías y misterios, y todos son icónicos. ¿Os gusta la oscuridad? Pues aquí la tenéisSobre Holly y sobre el autor:«Cuando Stephen King se mete en el género está a la altura de los clásicos. Con Holly ha vuelto a regalarnos una excelente novela».Juan Carlos Galindo, El País «King está enamorado de este personaje y vuelve a poner aquí en evidencia que es uno de los más talentosos creadores de mujeres: un auténtico y comprometido feminista dentro de la literatura norteamericana».Rodrigo Fresán, ABC«No contento con ser el maestro del terror y de la fantasía, Stephen King se ha ganado, en los últimos años, un lugar de pleno derecho entre los mejores escritores de novela negra de Estados Unidos».Sunday Express «Stephen King es indiscutiblemente uno de los mejores narradores del siglo, y unmaestro a la hora de retratar los horrores que habitan bajo la superficie de lo que parece la vida normal».Daily Mail
