Buddhist wisdom for everyday problems rooted in Buddhist psychology and meditation, The Six Myths We Live By shows us how to uncover our misperceptions and leads us on a path to self-development.The truth is you probably believe all sorts of myths, but you don’t even know it. To escape any hardship, any suffering or discomfort, we all believe myths about how the world works and how we live in that world. In The Six Myths We Live By, therapist and long-time Buddhist practitioner Karuna Cayton guides us through six common myths that may give us comfort, but actually only perpetuate our problems: - the myth of reality; - the myth of identity; - the myth of permanence; - the myth of randomness; - the myth of happiness; - the myth of only living once. Cayton takes us through each of these myths using real-world examples and draws upon Buddhist principles, psychology, and meditation practices to show how we can wake up to reality. By planting a seed of doubt about the beliefs that we’ve always thought were true, we can open our eyes and deepen our relationship with the way we see our life, our potential, and the nature of our struggles and achievements.

In the late afternoon of 24 June 1944, eighteen aircraft from 617 Squadron, led to fame by Wing Commander Guy Gibson during the attack on the dams raid in May 1943, took off from their base at Woodhall Spa. Their target was the vast V2 rocket site at Wizernes in the Pas de Calais. Known today as La Coupole, this bunker complex had been built to serve as a reinforced launch site for the V2s that Hitler hoped would terrorise the British population. Once their target had been marked, the Lancasters dropped Tallboy bombs. Bomb bursts were recorded all around the target. The Dambusters, however, did not go unchallenged. One of the attackers, Lancaster DV403, flown by Flight Lieutenant John Edward DFC and coded KC-G, was hit by flak. The flight engineer, Flying Officer W.J. King DFC, died instantly. One of the Lancasters engines stuttered and the aircraft began to burn. Edward valiantly tried to hold course long enough for the rest of the crew to answer the Abracadabra call to bale out. A Resistance worker saw crew members falling like candles below their parachutes. Moments later DV403 hit the growing crops in nearby French fields. The Lancaster carried, unusually, eight crew. The pilot and all three gunners were dead. In the chaos of the moment, the courage of one member of the French Resistance, undertaker André Schamp, stood out. He assisted a wounded crewman, while also checking for other survivors. The story of DV403 has been recently honoured in France on the 80th anniversary, with an exhibition, lectures and a wayside interpretation board compiled by the authors, who have encouraged strong involvement of crewmens families in the evolving narrative. This is the story of their fate that night, as well as of 617 Squadrons attack on the V2 site as a whole. Autorid: Trevor Kerry, Gaëtan Sagot

A powerful critique of the myths about race that continue to shape our world.Drawing on a rich tapestry of historical analysis, literary criticism, and cultural theory, Hazel Carby interrogates how racial fictions have been constructed, maintained, and weaponized across centuries to justify systems of domination and exploitation.Traversing global geographies and temporalities, Racial Fictions reveals the interconnectedness of America's domestic racial struggles with international colonial ambitions. Carby examines the ideological underpinnings of racial hierarchies, the afterlife of slavery, and the ongoing impact of settler colonialism. The book critically engages with the works of key Black intellectuals such as Anna Julia Cooper and W.E.B. Du Bois, as well as contemporary movements like Black Lives Matter, situating them within a broader narrative of resistance and survival.Carby challenges readers to confront the uncomfortable truths about the persistence of white supremacy, the violence embedded in historical memory, and the silencing of marginalized voices. The result is a profound exploration of the intricate and enduring legacies of race, imperialism, and violence in the formation of modern identities and nation-states. Autorid: Hazel V Carby

He told more about it to the priest than to others. He certainly had a secret to tell. He might as well have divulged it frankly, for the neighbours all knew well enough that it was the face of dead Ellen Coleman that he had seen. J.S. Le Fanu I felt a strange creeping sensation as I looked up the vast black staircase, wide enough for a coach to drive down, and at the heavy darkness bending over it like a curse. Rosa Mulholland On and on he glided, like an evil shadow, the very darkness seeming to loathe him as he passed. Oscar Wilde To walk through Irish history is to pass through a haunted landscape. Perhaps thats why so many of Irelands finest writers found themselves drawn to the ghost story. This collection includes the work of canonical figures like Bram Stoker, J.S. Le Fanu, Oscar Wilde, and W.B. Yeats, but also a wealth of lesser-known authors like Charlotte Riddell and Rosa Mulholland who were once bestsellers but are now unjustly neglected, all with a keen sense of Irelands haunted character. Each story in this collection is presented with its original publication details, so readers can see exactly where and when it first appeared, and a brief biography of its author. Together, they offer a fascinating cross-section of Irelands literary relationship with the supernatural. Autorid: Stephen Carver, Stephen Carver, Various

Friedrich Hölderlin is probably André Butzers favorite poet and ranks alongside Walt Disney and Henri Matisse among his favorite people ever. His identification with the poet goes even further, as Hölderlins day of death is Butzers own birthday. As Butzer moved to Los Angeles, the land of his youthful dreams, for the first time in 2001, he got homesick. The home he longed for lay neither in the old world nor in the new. In California, he read Hölderlins Hyperion and was shaken: As I read, I felt that I understood every word. I thought these words came from me. Butzer recognizes himself in Hölderlins fateful protagonist and invents the figure of the homeless Wanderer. His home is in painting, and so he sets off down Hyperion Avethe street on which The Walt Disney Studio opened in 1926. According to Butzer, Hölderlin, just like Disney, expresses longings. And these can be put to use. For Hölderlin, poetry is the place that makes human existence on earth possible. For Butzer, it is painting. In poetry, he finds succor to settle and reconcile the extreme contradictions of the world through his painting. In this artists book, Butzer has compiled 47 poems written by Hölderlin between 1793 and 1843 on the four seasons. These poems link the cycle of the seasons with mans path of life like a parable: the autumnal fulfillment of summers maturation, the blossoming of life in spring and the experienced barrenness of winter. The poems may sound simple, but in them Hölderlin gives shape to human endurance in seemingly hopeless conditions: hope, doubt, wonder, longing, love. Matters of the heart, simple, lucid and vulnerable. Just take Hölderlins beloved Diotima. In Untitled (Diotima), she gazes towards a place hidden from our view. Is she looking into her innermost self or into the inaccessible distance? Seeing her see, we recognize ourselves in her gaze. To accompany the poems, Butzer has created 40 watercolors. His iconic charactersthe Wanderer, the Woman, the Peace-Siemenscyclically fade and reappear in the delicate colors. Each figure, each thing, each stroke, each patch and each hue of color carries itself. Yet time and again, a fragile harmony emerges from their contrary bonding. The book does neither adhere to the chronological everyday time nor the factual succession of the seasons. Instead, Butzer has placed the poems and watercolors intuitively, forming open constellations. This corresponds to Hölderlins wackily fantastic dating, in which a poem from 1843, for instance, can be attributed to 1758, 1648 or 1940. In the persistent poetic time, the past and the future are one complete whole. In unison words and images ponder mans dwelling upon this earth, in the humblest and most poetic way. Autorid: Friedrich Hölderlin, André Butzer, Alta L. Price

The Day They Ate The Zoo is James Ellerys record of his senior military UN appointments in two of Africas most volatile and violent countries written with insight, honesty and a light touch. In 1999, after a successful career in the Army, Ellery was chosen to establish a new UN mission in the war-torn Democratic Republic of Congo. With nations from across the continent fighting for a share in the countrys vast mineral wealth, it required all of Jamess diplomatic and military skills to ensure the mission was a success in spite of the machinations of the Congolese authorities. Less than two years later, Ellery was selected for another demanding appointment in Africa this time in Sierra Leone. His candid despatches document his time as Chief of Staff of the 17,500 strong UN peacekeeping force. As the country strove to right itself after a decade of civil war, James played a pivotal role in ensuring free and fair democratic elections and bringing the major players to book in the Special Court for Sierra Leone.

Blood may be thicker than water, but is family more important than the truth? London, August 1759. Lizzie Hardwicke, society harlot and occasional investigator for the magistrate, is shaken by an encounter with her estranged brother during a riotous evening hosted by the notorious Devil's Brotherhood. Beyond the opulence of this Mayfair party, a streetwalker is found strangled on the doorstep of a well-known moral campaigner, her cheek branded with the letter V. When more girls are discovered dead and similarly marked, Lizzie fears that someone stalks the streets with a violent hatred of women, and as the evidence begins to point to her own brother, any remaining family loyalty she has is severely tested. Her past catches up with her and her future becomes increasingly dangerous, yet Lizzie is still unaware of darker plots being hatched in the shadows by those who wish to silence her for good. This time, the consequences of her investigations will lead her to a place where even Will Davenport, the one man she trusts, won't be able to find her. The fourth instalment of the gripping and vividly imagined historical mystery series set in 18th-century London, from the author of acclaimed historical novel The Dazzle of the Light.

Would you start another diet if you knew it would probably fail? Would you love your body if our culture didn't tell you it was wrong? Lotta Dann's journey with extreme dieting and drastic weight loss led to endless praise for her skinny body. But no one knew what she had to do to maintain it. When the weight came back on, Lotta started asking fundamental questions that she'd never considered before. Why do we believe that to be healthy you must be skinny? Why do we think any measure of fat on our body is bad? Why do so many of us hate our bodies? And why do we spend so much time, money and energy trying to shrink ourselves? The answers surprised her, angered her, and ultimately empowered her. She thinks they will do the same for you. Autorid: Lotta Dann

Travel is easier, more accessible, and more tempting than ever before in today's world. But what impact is our globetrotting having on local communities and the environment? From his own experiences spending time in countries from Spain to Argentina to Japan, travel writer Daniel Maurer has seen first-hand the impact of growing cultural homogenization and anger at the tourists driving it. Speaking to locals and immigrants, activists and protestors, he hears of the problems of rising living costs, overcrowding, anti-social behaviour and the erosion of local traditions and ways of life caused by overtourism. Some cities already have plans in place to combat it, including tourist taxes, carbon emission targets and Airbnb bans, and in the coming years, more will take drastic measures to tackle not only a flood of tourists but of a growing worldwide workforce of location-independent professionals." Technological advances are also changing the way we interact with the world, and the future promises amazing things from flying cars to VR headsets to AI travel influencers and chatbots. But theres a constant battle between technology making things more easily accessible, and the need to reduce human impact on the world. What choices might we make when it comes to travelling in the future, and can we become more impact-conscious, making more sustainable and thoughtful decisions? Autorid: Daniel Maurer

Peter Lindbergh and Azzedine Alaïa, the photographer and the couturier, were united by their love of black, a love that they would cultivate alike in silver print and solid color garments. Lindbergh ceaselessly turned to black and white to signify his search for authenticity in the faces he brought to light. Alaïa drew on the monochrome of timeless clothes to create veritable sculptures for the body. In this book, the unique dialogue between the two artists is immortalized in print. Illustrating their community of spirit, its images are a celebration of their artistic partnership and testament to their history-making achievements in photography and fashion. Despite their geographically opposed origins, Lindbergh and Alaïa pursued similar horizons. At the same time as Lindberghs reputation in Germany was growing thanks to his work in Stern magazine, and he set up his studio in Paris in 1978, Alaïa was the couturier shrouded in discretion whose sophisticated techniques were a treasured secret amongst the most important clients of Haute Couture. Alaïa became the architect of bodies, revealing and unveiling them, while Lindbergh distinguished them by shining a light on their soul and personality. Step by step, they became the creators that dominated their respective disciplines. Both rejected any artifice that distracted from their true subject, and it is with great ease that they came together for a number of powerful collaborations. Shared inspirations and aesthetic values are visible throughout their work. A beach in Le Touquet and the streets of old Paris reference a mutual love of black and white cinema and vast panoramas. The backdrop of an engine room illustrates the memory of an industrial German landscape for one and references the inordinate passion for functional design and architecture held by the other. Alaïas clothes act as pedestals for the smiles and eyes of the women who wear them: Nadja Auermann, Mariacarla Boscono, Naomi Campbell, Anna Cleveland, Dilone, Lucy Dixon, Vanessa Duve, Helene Fischer, Pia Frithiof, Jade Jagger, Maria Johnson, Milla Jovovich, Lynne Koester, Ariane Koizumi, Yasmin Le Bon, Madonna, Kristen McMenamy, Tatjana Patitz, Linda Spierings, Tina Turner, Marie-Sophie Wilson, Lindsey Wixson. For Lindbergh, who built his notoriety on the images of these supermodels, the authenticity of their traits is all that matters. The result is a potent black and white catalogue that reverberates with truthfulness and beauty. With contritutions by Fabrice Hergott, director of the Musée dArt Moderne de la Ville de Paris, Paolo Roversi, photographer, and Olivier Saillard, fashion historian and director of the Fondation Azzedine Alaïa, Paris.

A prominent editor, poet, author of fiction, translator, biographer, and screenwriter who made an indelible contribution to the English literature of the early twentieth century, Richard Aldington deserves to be much better known than he is today.

D.) and friends with Ezra Pound, Wyndham Lewis, and others. This book accompanies a milestone exhibition at the Grolier Club, based on the largest Aldington collection in private hands, that is poised to restore his name to its rightful place.

A cross-disciplinary perspective of the medial, aesthetic, and material aspects of submerging, as well as its methodological qualities as a resistant practice and figure of thought. Whether it is the ocean, the ground, or soil, a metaphorical or symbolic underworld, or a political figure of thought, the subsurface intervenes in recent debates about ecological, social, and postcolonial conflicts and power inequalities in the humanities and beyond. However, turning to the unstable grounds of the subterranean always involves a conceptual or methodological movement and a practice of submersion, and thus a critical reflection on the conditions, technologies, aesthetics, and politics of knowledge production. It is precisely at this point that this volume picks up with approaches from the fields of artistic practice as well as media studies, art history, queer theory, and decolonial studies. From this transdisciplinary perspective, this anthology explores the medial, aesthetic, and material aspects of sub(e)merging, as well as its potential as a resistant practice and figure of thought: from submerging to emerging.
