"[T]errific and reveals the incomparably profound, minutely subtle, and disarmingly humorous Mind of the Master. For the first time a koan collection includes Christian and Taoist koans as well as the more familiar Japanese koans. The "Buddhist" koans are selected from the classic collections The Gateless Gate and The Blue Cliff Record, as well as from a large number of orally preserved koans from Korean Zen teachers. The Christian koans are derived from the poems of the German mystic known as Angelus Silesius; the Taoist koans come from the Tao Te Ching (in the "translation" by Stephen Mitchell, who also wrote this book's foreword). The checking questions are indeed probing and dumbfoundedness-inducing; the commentaries are uniformly brilliant and incisive...." --Tricycle Magazine
Over the course of his career, Tomas Tranströmer - a poet who could look on the barren isolation of Sweden's landscapes and seascapes like no other, and find in them something hauntingly transcendent - emerged as one of the 20th century's essential global voices. By the time he won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2011, his luminous, almost mystical work had been translated into more than 50 languages. Gathering his poems from the early, nature-focused work to the later poetry's widening of the scope to take in painting, travel, urban life, and the impositions of technology on the natural world, and stirred throughout by the poet's profound love of music, The Half-Finished Heaven is a unique selection from Tranströmer's work. It is also, in its way, a deeply intimate one: the poems hand-picked here are not only the most beloved, but also those which were translated in the course of Tranströmer's nearly thirty-year correspondence with his close friend and collaborator, the American poet Robert Bly. Few names are more strongly associated with Tranströmer's; and few people have understood not only his poetry, but the processes behind it, more profoundly. The result is perhaps the best English-language introduction to this great and strange poet's work that there could be. Autorid: Tomas Tranströmer
&;The American people sees itself advance across the wilderness, draining swamps, straightening rivers, peopling the solitude, and subduing nature,&; wrote Alexis de Tocqueville in 1835. That&;s largely how we still think of nineteenth-century America today: a country expanding unstoppably, bending the continent&;s natural bounty to the national will, heedless of consequence. A country of slavery and of Indian wars. There&;s much truth in that vision. But if you know where to look, you can uncover a different history, one of vibrant resistance, one that&;s been mostly forgotten. This Radical Land recovers that story. Daegan Miller is our guide on a beautifully written, revelatory trip across the continent during which we encounter radical thinkers, settlers, and artists who grounded their ideas of freedom, justice, and progress in the very landscapes around them, even as the runaway engine of capitalism sought to steamroll everything in its path. Here we meet Thoreau, the expert surveyor, drawing anticapitalist property maps. We visit a black antislavery community in the Adirondack wilderness of upstate New York. We discover how seemingly commercial photographs of the transcontinental railroad secretly sent subversive messages, and how a band of utopian anarchists among California&;s sequoias imagined a greener, freer future. At every turn, everyday radicals looked to landscape for the language of their dissent&;drawing crucial early links between the environment and social justice, links we&;re still struggling to strengthen today. Working in a tradition that stretches from Thoreau to Rebecca Solnit, Miller offers nothing less than a new way of seeing the American past&;and of understanding what it can offer us for the present . . . and the future.

The only textbook on the Vedic astrology that explains the philosophical basics that justify why people should take this subject seriously. It sets out the fundamental knowledge that needs to be known in ways to aid memory, and explains, in greater depth than is to be found in any other publication, how to interpret natal charts to answer questions about someones life, supported by examples. The book also describes how gemstones, mantras, and other remedial measures can help with difficult karma, choosing an auspicious time to begin important activities, and interpreting the charts of nations and international institutions. It also touches on the subject of world cycles affecting humanity, while the appendix contains the first paper given at an international Vedic Astrology conference by the author on Jupiter/Saturn conjunctions and their 884-year cycle that affects everyone and every country. The book provides unique comprehensive coverage of this ancient science from India, which is gradually becoming more widely known and respected in the West. Autorid: Geoffrey Pearce
