The legend of Shangri-La emerged from the Tibetan Buddhist belief in beyul, or hidden lands. Tibetan prophecies proclaim that the greatest of these mythical sanctuaries lies at the eastern edge of the Himalayas, veiled by a colossal waterfall at the heart of the forbidding Tsangpo gorge. After years of research and investigation, Buddhist scholar and world-class climber Ian Baker and his team made worldwide news by reaching the bottom of the Tsangpo gorge and finding a magnificent 108-foot-high waterfall - the legendary grail of both Western explorers and Tibetan seekers.The Heart of the World recounts one of the most captivating stories of exploration and discovery in recent memory - an extraordinary journey into one of the wildest and most inaccessible places on earth, a meditation on our place in nature, and a pilgrimage to the heart of Tibetan Buddhism.

A much-needed account of the hierarchy of justice that defines Chinas unique political-legal culture. To many outsiders, China has an image as a realm of Oriental despotism where law is at best window dressing and at worst an instrument of coercion and tyranny. In this highly original contribution to the interdisciplinary field of law and humanities, Haiyan Lee contends that this image arises from a skewed understanding of Chinas political-legal culture, particularly the failure to distinguish what she calls high justice and low justice. In the Chinese legal imagination, Lee shows, justice is a vertical concept, with low justice between individuals firmly subordinated to the high justice of the state. Chinas political-legal culture is marked by a mistrust of laws powers, and as a result, it privileges substantive over procedural justice. Calling on a wide array of narrativesstories of crime and punishment, subterfuge and exposé, guilt and redemptionA Certain Justice helps us recognize the fight for justice outside the familiar arenas of liberal democracy and the rule of law.

"Richardson never pulls his punches in these vivid descriptions." --"Publishers Weekly" Caught in the Chinese counterattack at Unsan-one of the deadliest American battles of the Cold War Era-Colonel Bill Richardson led an Alamo like defense of the few survivors before being taken prisoner. The North Koreans marched them through sub-zero weather without food, shelter, or medical attention to the area known as Death Valley. Enduring torture designed to break the mind and body, Richardson remained strong enough to lead his fellow prisoners in resistance, sabotage, and new plans for escape. "Valleys of Death" is a stirring story of survival and determination, an intimate look at the soldiers who fought America's first battle of the cold war in the unvarnished words of one of their own.
L’œuvre inédite du regretté Jean Laplace (1951-1996) que nous présentons ici est l’étude qu’il rédigea sur le vrai Finis Gloriæ Mundi du Maître Fulcanelli, et dont, après sa disparition, une certaine « envie » a empêché jusqu’à maintenant la publication : il est donc presque superflu d’en souligner l’authenticité et l’intérêt exceptionnel.En l’éditant, fidèlement transcrite de son manuscrit, nous ne craignons pas d’aller contre la volonté de son auteur, qui était bien convaincu de la publier : il l’avait rédigée déjà en 1983, en reprenant les éléments du dossier préparatoire pour la troisième œuvre de l’Adepte ; et en 1985, dans l’Index général des termes spéciaux… dans l’Œuvre complète d’Eugène Canseliet, nous retrouvons son titre parmi ceux des ouvrages en préparation : Documents pour servir à l’étude de la Fin du Monde.Dans son troisième livre, Fulcanelli se faisait l’interprète d’une Tradition selon laquelle la vie de la Terre se déroule dans une série de cycles de 2 400 ans dont 1 200 ascendants et 1 200 descendants, et la fin de chaque cycle se manifeste par un terrible bouleversement, expliqué par Eugène Canseliet comme « le retournement des deux extrémités de l’axe ou la culbute des pôles, dont l’un prend brusquement la place de l’autre », et la conséquente destruction d’un hémisphère par le feu (l’embrasement), et de l’autre hémisphère par les eaux qui se renversent dans celui-ci et le submergent (le déluge) ; à la fin du cycle suivant, le phénomène est inversé. Le présent ouvrage, qui demanda à son auteur sept ans d’étude, et qui suit fidèlement le chemin tracé par Fulcanelli et Canseliet, avait été encouragé par ce dernier qui trouvait que son disciple était « dans la voie du vrai », et que son ouvrage était « fort bien orienté ». Sur la trace des éléments laissés par Fulcanelli, Laplace les retrouve dans les traditions de peuples tels que les anciens Égyptiens, les Indiens Sioux, les Maïas.La fascination exercée par le sujet et par ce texte ne doit cependant pas nous faire oublier qu’en 1983, Jean Laplace écrivait que « moins d’un cinquantenaire reste encore à parcourir sur la grande horloge cyclique ».
