Joshua A. Berman, "The Book of Lamentations "
English | ISBN: 1108440142 | 2023 | 206 pages | PDF | 1272 KB
In this commentary, Joshua Berman considers Lamentations as a literary work that creates meaning for a community in the wake of tragedy through its repudiation of Zion theology. Drawing from studies in collective trauma, his volume is the first study of Lamentations that systematically accounts for the constructed character of the narrator, a pastoral mentor who engages in a series of dialogues with a second constructed character, daughter Zion, who embodies the traumatized community of survivors. In each chapter, the pastoral mentor speaks to a different religious typology and a different sub-community of post-destruction Judeans, working with daughter Zion to reconsider her errant positions and charting for her a positive way forward to reconnecting with the Lord. Providing a systematic approach to the careful structure of each of its chapters, Berman illuminates how biblical writers offered support to their communities in a way that is still relevant and appealing to a therapy-conscious contemporary society.

The Book of Mothman By John A. Keel, Andrew Colvin
2015 | 278 Pages | ISBN: 1507617380 | EPUB | 1 MB
New Saucerian Press proudly presents John Keel's "The Book of Mothman: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Reality Distortion But Were Afraid to Ask." Using "Mothman" as an organizing principle, the articles in this collection, culled from New Saucerian's recently published "Selected Writings of John Keel" books ("Flying Saucer to the Center of Your Mind," "The Outer Limits of the Twilight Zone," "Searching For the String," "The Great Phonograph in the Sky," "The Passionate Percipient," and "The Perspicacious Percipient: How to Investigate UFOs and Other Insane Urges"), coalesce to create a dazzling, mind-blowing "unified theory" concerning the paraphysical distortions and "glitches" seemingly invading our reality. Many of the articles in "The Book of Mothman" were written years before Keel's "Mothman Prophecies," while others were written years afterwards, making it a very unique and valuable source. With the addition of several 1990s lectures and an interview from 2003 - Keel's last on Mothman - researchers and enthusiasts gain a better sense of just what was going on in West Virginia and the Ohio Valley in the 1960s and '70s. True to form, Keel takes on the endless variety of high-strangeness surrounding Mothman and Mothman witnesses, such as UFOs, MIBs, little green men, hairy monsters, giants, animal mutilations, hypnotism, shapeshifting, psychological warfare, missing time, and phantom aircraft, automobiles, and humans. This special edition features a brilliant introduction by Gray Barker, a recently discovered foreword by John Keel, and a note from the editor, Andy Colvin. "As good an example of pure, unadulterated Keel as you are likely to find..." -Robert Durant, Pursuit Magazine "Decades ahead of all the 'respectable' Forteans and ufologists..." -UFO Magazine "Exposes the dark workings of the Mind Parasites..." -William S. Burroughs "Interesting, informed speculation..." -Brad Pitt

The Book of Sailing Knots: How To Tie and Correctly Use Over 50 Essential Knots by Peter Owen
English | November 30, 2018 | ISBN: 1493036742, 1558218726 | True EPUB | 144 pages | 16 MB
In recent years, sailing has undergone some revolutionary changes: Satellites and autopilots are now used for navigation. Artificial-fiber and wire ropes have nearly replaced natural-fiber ropes. But when it comes to decorative knotting, natural fiber is still the favored choice. This book is tops when it comes to learning how to master tying the most common sailing knots. With fully illustrated and step-by-step instructions, the author explains how to correctly tie and use more than fifty knots―including stopper knots, bends, loops, and hitches―and in which situations each one is most useful.

The Bourgeois Virtues: Ethics for an Age of Commerce by Deirdre N. McCloskey
English | July 15, 2006 | ISBN: 0226556638, 0226556646 | True EPUB | 634 pages | 3.7 MB
For a century and a half, the artists and intellectuals of Europe have scorned the bourgeoisie. And for a millennium and a half, the philosophers and theologians of Europe have scorned the marketplace. The bourgeois life, capitalism, Mencken's "booboisie" and David Brooks's "bobos"-all have been, and still are, framed as being responsible for everything from financial to moral poverty, world wars, and spiritual desuetude. Countering these centuries of assumptions and unexamined thinking is Deirdre McCloskey's The Bourgeois Virtues, a magnum opus that offers a radical view: capitalism is good for us.

McCloskey's sweeping, charming, and even humorous survey of ethical thought and economic realities-from Plato to Barbara Ehrenreich-overturns every assumption we have about being bourgeois. Can you be virtuous and bourgeois? Do markets improve ethics? Has capitalism made us better as well as richer? Yes, yes, and yes, argues McCloskey, who takes on centuries of capitalism's critics with her erudition and sheer scope of knowledge. Applying a new tradition of "virtue ethics" to our lives in modern economies, she affirms American capitalism without ignoring its faults and celebrates the bourgeois lives we actually live, without supposing that they must be lives without ethical foundations.
High Noon, Kant, Bill Murray, the modern novel, van Gogh, and of course economics and the economy all come into play in a book that can only be described as a monumental project and a life's work. The Bourgeois Virtues is nothing less than a dazzling reinterpretation of Western intellectual history, a dead-serious reply to the critics of capitalism-and a surprising page-turner.

The Breaking Storm: 10 July 1940 - 12 August 1940
by Dilip Sarkar
English | 2023 | ISBN: 1399056417 | 344 Pages | ePUB | 4 MB

In The Breaking Storm, the first of Dilip Sarkar's unprecedented seven-volume series exploring the Battle of Britain, the events that led up to the outbreak of war in 1939, and which set the scene for the epic aerial conflict of summer 1940, are fully explored.
Continuing his examination of the events of the Spitfire Summer, in The Breaking Storm Dilip provides a day-by-day chronicle of the Battle of Britain's first phase - the so-called Kanalkampf - which was fought over the Channel-bound convoys between 10 July and 12 August 1940. This account, though, does not simply concern RAF Fighter Command, as the author recognizes the operations and efforts of the RAF's Bomber and Coastal commands, the Royal Navy and mercantile marine - making this book part of what he calls 'the Big story'.
Hitler's actual policies and intentions towards the ongoing war with Britain are also explored. If the Battle of Britain was fought to deny Germany the aerial superiority required to launch a seaborne invasion of southern England, then, the author argues, the conflict could surely only have begun when the Germans committed to Operation Seelöwe - which was not, in fact, until 21 July 1940. It has previously been accepted that Hitler's War Directive of 16 July 1940 signaled the intention to invade, but the author proves that this was no more than another example of the 'brinkmanship' that Hitler was renowned for, and the air attacks at that time little more than 'Air Fleet Diplomacy', all of which was intended to frighten Britain into accepting the Führer's 'last appeal to reason' of 19 July 1940.
In his broadcast of 22 July 1940, Lord Halifax made the nation's unbowed position quite clear. He called Hitler's bluff: previously reluctant to fight Britain, Hitler's preferred policy in the ongoing war had been blockade and diplomacy - but now he had no choice but to unleash the Luftwaffe against Britain. All of this is investigated in detail, aligning these wider events and high decisions with action in the air.
Through diligent research, combined with crucial official primary sources and personal papers, Dilip unravels many myths, often challenging the accepted narrative. This is not simply another dull record of combat losses and claims - far from it. Drawing upon unique first-hand accounts from a wide-range of combatants and eyewitnesses, along with Daily Home Intelligence Reports and numerous other primary sources, this book forms part of what is likely to be the first and last such comprehensively woven account of this epic air battle.

The Buddhist Tantras: A Guide (Guides to Sacred Texts) By David B. Gray
2023 | 288 Pages | ISBN: 0197623840 | EPUB | 1 MB
The tantric Buddhist traditions emerged in India beginning in the seventh century CE and flourished there until the demise of Buddhism in India circa the fifteenth century. These traditions were disseminated to Central, East, and Southeast Asia, and continue to be practiced, most notably in Nepal, Tibet and Japan, as well as in the numerous Tibetan traditions disseminated around the world by Tibetan masters living in diaspora. The central scriptures for these traditions were generally designated by the term tantra. Tantras are works that purport to relate secret teachings of the buddhas that enable awakening in as short as one lifetime. As such they are understood by their advocates to be the inspired speech of a buddha, and hence worthy of inclusion in the canons of Buddhist traditions. Over the past twenty years there has been considerable growth in the study of tantras as well as translations of these works into Western languages. This volume provides a detailed introduction to the Buddhist tantras. It addresses their development in India, their dissemination to Central, East and Southeast Asia, and their reception in these contexts. It introduces the key teachings in the tantras, as well as the history of their interpretation, and their connection to traditions of ritual, and contemplative practices.It also introduces the classification of the tantras and their place in Buddhist scriptural canons. It concludes with a look at the transgressive rhetoric that characterizes many of the tantras, the impact this had on their dissemination and translation, and the ways in which Buddhists explained this. It suggests that transgressive rhetoric and practices served an important role in Buddhist tantric traditions, which may be why they persist despite the challenges they have presented to the dissemination of these traditions.

Aaron Berhane, "The Burden of Exile: A Banned Journalist's Flight from Dictatorship"
English | ISBN: 1459748549 | 2022 | 288 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
FINALIST FOR THE 2024 EVERGREEN AWARD

In the strict dictatorship of Eritrea, a young reporter co-founds the first independent newspaper, publishes stories that anger the president, and then has to escape to save his life and his loved ones.
An idealistic journalist with a young family starts the first independent newspaper in the notorious police state of Eritrea ― one of the most brutal dictatorships in the world. When the paper is shut down, he flees arrest and begins a dangerous journey to freedom, first across a desert, at night, into Sudan, pursued by Eritrean secret police, then into secret safe houses in Kenya. With the help of the United Nations, he finds sanctuary in Canada ― a place he knows nothing about. Meanwhile, his wife and young children are stuck back home, in constant danger of reprisal.
Berhane's story is one of bravery amid complicated international geopolitics, of spies, guns, and betrayal, and ― ultimately ― of triumph and the piecing together of family in a cold new country.

The Bushido of Bitcoin: A Code of Virtue for a World on a New Economic Standard
by Aleksandar Svetski
English | 2024 | ASIN: B0DM9PGD57 | 529 Pages | True ePUB | 29 MB

What does it take to build civilization?
I spent two years wrestling with this question and many more. Is it enough if Bitcoin wins? How will those who hold it behave when they become the new elite? What are the character and virtues required so that we don't merely replace an old corrupt ruling class with a new one?
Writing this book changed me. After a short hiatus from my entprepreneurial life, I was compelled to write again - but I found myself in a relatively dark place, a bit like I was born in the wrong century, as my wife kept telling me. It was peak clown world and the early drafts of the book reflected this feeling in their more nostalgic desire for a morally superior past that would not return.
But....two years, eight drafts and more than 130,000 words later, both the book and I took on a new energy. A more ascendant tone that in turn made me more hopeful for the future.
The Bushido of Bitcoin is thus a major white-pill, in a world full of black, red and blue pills.
This book is a distillation of what I've learned throughout my entire life, and in particular the ideas I've absorbed from the great stories of the past. It combines lessons from the great warrior cultures and their heroes with insights from the most insightful thinkers, religions and philosophies of all time, including Nietzsche, Spengler, Hoppe, Christianity, Feudalism and the Austrian School of Economics.
It is a playbook for the new elite with a focus on virtue - not morality. My goal is not to tell you what to believe, but to give you a guide for how the great and noble behave. All warrior cultures of the past lived by such codes of virtue, and it is high time we found ours.

The Business Francis Means: Understanding the Pope's Message on the Economy By Martin Schlag
2017 | 210 Pages | ISBN: 0813229731 | PDF | 1 MB
Pope Francis, generally speaking, has thus far chosen to concentrate his papacy on social justice issues, as opposed to doctrinal or liturgical issues. This has led to Francis being hailed as a hero to many on the left, while it has made some conservative supporters of St. John Paul II and Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI disappointed and uncomfortable, even as they love and appreciate his person and gestures of mercy and compassion. Some find his teachings difficult to embrace, especially those concerning business and the economy. Pope Francis has spoken of building bridges as part of what it is to be Christian, but aspects of his message seem to be just constructing walls between the Holy Father and groups of the faithful. The Business Francis Means aims to break through these walls, showing that Pope Francis has something to say to all Christians. His message, taken as a whole, keeps us from dividing the "seamless garment" of Christ: he reminds the conservatives of the problems of inequality and poverty, and the liberals that social justice is not enough - the Church is the bride of Christ, not a social institution or an NGO. Monsignor Martin Schlag summarizes and explains the message of Pope Francis on business and the economy in this compact volume. The Business Francis Means will be of great interest to the Catholic layperson, especially one involved in political or economic life.

The Business of Transition: Jewish and Greek Merchants of Salonica from Ottoman to Greek Rule
by Paris Papamichos Chronakis
English | 2025 | ISBN: 1503639665 | 417 Pages | PDF | 10.8 MB

The Business of Transition examines how the cosmopolitan bourgeoisie of the Eastern Mediterranean navigated the transition from empire to nation-state in the early twentieth century. In this social and cultural history, Paris Papamichos Chronakis shows how the Jewish and Greek merchants of Salonica (present-day Thessaloniki) skillfully managed the tumultuous shift from Ottoman to Greek rule amidst revolution and war, rising ethnic tensions, and heightened class conflict. Bringing their once powerful voices back into the historical narrative, he traces their entangled trajectories as businessmen, community members, and civic leaders to illustrate how the self-reinvention of a Jewish-led bourgeoisie made a city Greek. Papamichos Chronakis draws on previously untapped local archival material to weave a rich narrative of individual portraits, introducing us to revered philanthropists and committed patriots as well as vilified profiteers and victimized Salonicans. Offering a kaleidoscopic view of a city in transition, this book reveals how the collapse of empire shook all the constitutive elements of Jewish and Greek identities, and how Jews and Greeks reinvented themselves amidst these larger political and economic disruptions.

Carlo Campana, Georg Christ, Thierry Ganchou, "The Byzantine-Ottoman Transition in Venetian Chronicles / La Transizione Bizantino-Ottomana Nelle Cronache Veneziane (Venetiana)"
English, Italiano | ISBN: 8867289179 | 2018 | 328 pages | PDF | 28 MB
During the 14th and 15th centuries the Ottoman Empire emerged as the new hegemonial power in the Romania, i.e. the territories that once had formed the core of Byzantium. As a major economic and political agent in this area, Venice and the Venetian elite were thoroughly affected by this transition, and consequently Venetian documents have often been used to elucidate the history of the late Byzantine and early Ottoman epoch. Yet, the repercussion of this change in the numerous works of late medieval Venetian historiography, particularly in the often anonymous chronicles, still awaits systematic exploration. Against this background, the present collection of papers, that goes back to an international workshop held in 2014, combines both, methodological reflections on the characteristics of the Venetian cronachistica and the use of the information it contains, and a number of individual case-studies reflecting crucial stages of the Byzantine-Ottoman transition.

The California Quail by A. Starker Leopold
English | May 17, 1985 | ISBN: 0520054563 | True EPUB | 304 pages | 21.9 MB
We all recognize the California Quail, with its striking good looks and mellow call notes. Widely distributed along the whole Pacific Coast, it has long been of interest to bird-lovers, sportsmen, ranchers, and wildlife biologists. In early times it was an important food source, and stocks were rapidly depleted by market hunters. Today its populations are being restored through the efforts of both private land-owners and government agencies.

This comprehensive report summarizes what is known about the history, biology, and management of the species. It recounts the impact of settlement on quail, it describes the quail's intriguing social life, covey relationships, nesting behavior, and habitat requirements. Males, for example, play an important role in chick-rearing; chemical compounds in food substantially influence the nesting success of females. A major part of this book tells how to provide proper over, food, and drinking water that are needed to increase quail populations, whether for hunting or for observation and enjoyment. The suggestions offered stem from decades of scientific research and practical management effort.
Written by a renowned wildlife biologist who worked on the quail for many years, this volume will be the definitive work from both the natural history and game management points of view. It is copiously illustrated with photographs and drawings, and will be of use to anyone who wishes to understand and foster the state bird.

Paul R. Laird, "The Cambridge Companion to West Side Story "
English | ISBN: 1108747752 | 2025 | 320 pages | PDF | 5 MB
Over sixty years after its opening night, West Side Story is perhaps the most famous and beloved of twentieth-century musicals and stands as a colossus of musical and dramatic achievement. It not only helped define a generation of musical theatre lovers but is among the handful of shows that have contributed to our understanding of American musical identity at mid-century. Bringing together contemporary scholars in music, theatre, dance, literature, and performance, this Companion explores this explosive 1950s remake of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and its portrayal of the raw passion, rivalries, jealousy and rage that doom the young lovers to their tragic fate. Organised thematically, chapters range from Broadway's history and precursors to West Side Story; the early careers of its creators; the show's score with emphasis on writing, production, and orchestrations; issues of class, colourism, and racism; New York's gang culture, and how the show's legacy can be found in popular culture throughout the world.

Language standardization is the process by which conventional forms of a language are established and maintained. Bringing together internationally renowned experts, this Handbook provides a comprehensive overview of standardization, norms and standard languages. Chapters are grouped into five thematic areas: models and theories of standardization, questions of authority and legitimacy, literacy and education, borders and boundaries, and standardization in Late Modernity.

The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament
by Martin Shaw
English | 2025 | ISBN: 1788217772 | 192 Pages | True ePUB | 2.96 MB

The launch of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament in 1958 signalled the first modern protest movement in Britain. Martin Shaw details CND's rise, the activists involved, the tensions with the Committee of 100 around direct action, and the culture, radicalism and social groups that were mobilized to "ban the bomb".
The book discusses how a new movement in the 1980s, led by European Nuclear Disarmament and the Greenham women's peace camp, helped remove cruise missiles from Europe and end the Cold War. It examines how the campaign influenced - and was influenced by - antiwar movements from Vietnam to Iraq and Gaza, as well as the environmental and women's movements.
As the nuclear threat returns in the 2020s, this study shows that the antinuclear movement's ideas and the non-violent direct action it pioneered still reverberate in the campaign against the UK's "nuclear deterrent" - and in protest movements from Stop the War to Extinction Rebellion.

The Cancel Culture Panic: How an American Obsession Went Global
by Adrian Daub
English | 2024 | ISBN: 1503640841 | 224 Pages | PDF | 17 MB

Fear of cancel culture has gripped the world, and it turns out to be an old fear in a new get-up.
In this incisive new work, Adrian Daub analyzes the global spread of cancel culture discourse as a moral panic, showing that, though its object is fuzzy, talk of cancel culture in global media has become a preoccupation of an embattled liberalism. There are plenty of conservative voices who gin up worries about cancel culture to advance their agendas. But more remarkable perhaps is that it is centrist, even left-leaning, media that have taken up the rallying cry and really defined the outlines of what cancel culture is supposed to be.
Media in Western Europe, South America, Russia, and Australia have devoted as much―in some cases more―attention to this supposedly American phenomenon than most US outlets. From French crusades against "le wokisme" via British fables of the "loony left" to a German obsession with campus anecdotes to a global revolt against "gender studies": countries the world over have developed culture war narratives in conflict with the US, and, above all, its universities―narratives that they themselves borrowed from the US.
Who exactly is afraid of cancel culture? To trace how various global publics have been so quickly convinced that cancel culture exists and that it poses an existential problem, Daub compares the cancel culture panic to moral panics past, investigating the powerful hold that the idea of "being cancelled" has on readers around the world.
A book for anyone wondering how institutions of higher learning in the US have become objects of immense interest and political lightning rods; not just for audiences and voters in the US, but worldwide.

The Capital of Dreams: A Novel by Heather O'Neill
English | January 7, 2025 | ISBN: 0063437333, 0063425998 | True EPUB | 368 pages | 4.3 MB
From the hugely acclaimed author beloved by literary lights, including Emily St. John Mandel, Kelly Link, and Mona Awad, a dark dystopian fairytale about an idyllic country ravaged by war-and a girl torn between safety and loyalty.

Sofia Bottom lives in Elysia, a small country forgotten by Europe. But inside its borders, the old myths of trees that come alive and faeries who live among their roots have given way to an explosion of the arts and the consolations of philosophy. From the clarinetists to the cabaret singers, no artist is as revered as Sofia's brilliant mother, the writer Clara Bottom. How can fourteen-year-old Sofia, with her tin ear and enduring love of ancient myths, ever hope to win her mother's love?
When the country's greatest enemy invades, and the Capital is under threat, Clara turns to her daughter to smuggle her new manuscript to safety on the last train evacuating children from the city. But when the train draws to a suspicious halt in the middle of a forest, Sofia is forced to run for her life and loses her mother's most prized possession. Frightened and alone in a country at war, Sofia must find a way to reclaim what she has lost. On an epic journey through woods and razed towns, colliding with soldiers, survivors, and other lost children, Sofia must make the choice between kindness and her own survival.
In this stunning novel set in an imaginative world yet reflective of our own times, Heather O'Neill delivers a vivid, breathtaking dark fairytale of life, death, and betrayal.
