  The Scandal of Cal - Land Grabs...

  The University of California, Berkeley—widely known as "Cal"—is admired worldwide as a bastion of innovation and a hub for progressive thought. Far less known are the university's roots in plunder, warfare, and the promotion of white supremacy. As Tony Platt shows in The Scandal of Cal, these original sins sit at the center of UC Berkeley's history. Platt looks unflinchingly at the university's desecration of graves and large-scale hoarding of Indigenous remains. He tracks its role in developing the racist pseudoscience of eugenics in the early twentieth century. He sheds light on the school's complicity with the military-industrial complex and its incubation of unprecedented violence through the Manhattan Project. And he underscores its deliberate and continued evasions about its own wrongdoings, which echo in the institution's decision-making up to the present day. This book, above all, illuminates Cal's culpability in some of the cruelest chapters of US history and sounds a clarion call for the university to undertake a thorough and earnest reckoning with its past. It is a must-listen for Cal alumni, students, faculty, and staff, and for anyone concerned with the impact of higher education in the United States and beyond.

  The Eastern Han Dynasty: A History of China, PART TWO takes you on a thrilling ride through one of China's most dramatic and chaotic eras. This book pulls you right into the palace, where figures like Empress Dou plot and scheme to secure power, even using poison and false charges to remove rivals. You'll watch the rise and fall of powerful families like the Dous and the Liang clan, who used their ties to the throne to control the empire — but always at a heavy cost. 
  You'll follow brave officials like Yuan An, Yue Hui, and Cai Yong, who risked everything to speak the truth and challenge corruption. These weren't dry, stiff scholars — they were real people caught in a deadly game of politics, facing off against terrifying figures like Liang Ji and the infamous Ten Regular Attendants, the emperor's most corrupt and dangerous eunuchs. 
  This book doesn't just tell you about emperors and generals; it shines a light on the students, rebels, and farmers, too. You'll see how the National Academy students stood up to the powerful, how the Yellow Turban Rebellion shook the empire, and how even everyday folk got tangled in the madness, whether they were sucked into fake "filial" shows or forced to pay crushing taxes to fund the emperor's endless luxuries. 
  You'll walk through lavish palace gardens, secret court meetings, bloody battlefields, and fake street markets set up inside the palace for the emperor's entertainment. From wild feasts to puppet rulers, from political assassinations to daring military campaigns, the Eastern Han was packed with stories that read like the best kind of historical drama — because they were real.

  Krishnamurti's Notebook

  When Krishnamurti's Notebook first became available in 1976, it was soon realized that it was a spiritually unique document giving his perceptions and experiences and describing his states of consciousness. It is a kind of diary but one that is little concerned with the day to day process of living, though very much aware of the natural world. 
  Jiddu Krishnamurti was born on 11 May 1895 in Madanapalle, a small town in south India. He and his brother were adopted in their youth by Dr Annie Besant, then president of the Theosophical Society. Dr Besant and others proclaimed that Krishnamurti was to be a world teacher whose coming the Theosophists had predicted. To prepare the world for this coming, a world-wide organisation called the Order of the Star in the East was formed and the young Krishnamurti was made its head. 
  In 1929, however, Krishnamurti renounced the role that he was expected to play, dissolved the Order with its huge following, and returned all the money and property that had been donated for this work. 
  From then, for nearly sixty years until his death on 17 February 1986, he travelled throughout the world talking to large audiences and to individuals about the need for a radical change in mankind.
