"The Tetralemma" is the tale of a young scientific polymath who, having achieved sudden wealth in the computer industry, enjoys encounters with various Buddhists, LSD, a journey through India, a Burmese vihara, wisdom-bearing damsels, a Tibetan lama, acquires a Buddhist name, ends up in Kyoto chanting the Heart Sutra, realizes an enlightenment and returns to America wondering what to do with his secular self. Described as a serio-comic tour through modern Buddhism, the story illustrates how life's completely random encounters causally create a chain-of-events on the meaning of silent words in one's mind and of thought, of consciousness, of chance and necessity, philosophical emptiness, the "middle-way", psychedelic chemicals, mathematics, neuroscience, enlightenment, machine intelligence, and once again the absolute indispensable future of sex.

"The personal and professional life of Bruno Kreisky (1911-1990), Austria's long-serving Socialist chancellor from August 1970 to May 1983, has been the focus of many books and articles. However, his ambiguous and complex relationship to his Jewishness, the State of Israel, and Zionism, as well as his connections to his overall political project and global aspirations, remain only partially researched. This book studies and analyzes these more systematically and comprehensively and places Kreisky in a comparative perspective with other twentieth-century European Jewish politicians who attained similar pinnacles of power. At the same time, the book will show that Bruno Kreisky was among the most influential and controversial political leaders since World War II. The book revolves around understanding and illuminating the myriad ways in which Kreisky's Jewishness was-or was not-a formative factor in his treatment of "Jewish" questions within Austrian politics, Austrian-Israeli relations, and his active engagement in Middle Eastern affairs. This deeper understanding mainly emerges through examining Kreisky's actions during several pivotal events like the Kreisky-Peter-Wiesenthal affair, the Waldheim affair, the 1973 Marchegg incident, and his overall relationship to Zionism, the State of Israel, and the Palestinian Arab world. This book is not a comprehensive biography of Kreisky. Instead, it attempts to document and place Kreisky's fraught engagement with his Jewishness and the related sensitive issues that touched upon it in a historical, political, ideological, and personal context. This mainly comes down to the entangled and always-ambiguous politics of identity, especially his understanding of his Jewishness"-- Provided by publisher

This book covers the American Motors Pacer. A very different, unique, small car. Big on the inside, small on the outside. The Pacer created a niche, but never really caught on. It turned into AMC's folly. You either love it, or you hate it. It's an interesting part of American Motors history.

The masters of a Buddhist tradition are part of a succession of successions while prolonging it. Their thoughts and teachings echo those of their lineage, but each master presents them in a new light, according to the needs of the time. This is the case for Mipham Chö kyi Lodrö (1952-2014), the 14th reincarnation of Shamarpa or holder of the red headdress, an accomplished meditator and leader of the Karma Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. The lineage of Shamarpas dating back to the 13th century is the second oldest line of reincarnation of Tibetan Buddhism. This book pays tribute to a modern master, heir to Buddha methods, who used his life to make them accessible and to transmit them in a double that of the East with its traditions and that of the West with its fascination.

2017 Reprint of 1865 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition software. Zetetic Astronomy is a key work of flat-earth thought, just as Donnelly's Atlantis, the Antediluvian World is still considered required reading on the subject of Atlantis. If you ever have to debate the flat earth pro or con, this book is a complete agenda of each point that you'll have to argue. Rowbotham believed that the earth is flat. The continents float on an infinite ocean which somehow has a layer of fire underneath it. The lands we know are surrounded by an infinite wilderness of ice and snow, beyond the Antarctic Ocean, bordered by an immense circular ice-cliff. What we call the North Pole is in the center of the earth.
