  Serving as an engineering officer in the Royal Navy in HMS Sheffield provided firsthand realization of the importance of engineering and emphasized that victories achieved in the Battle of Britain and other campaigns were made possible by newly-developed machines, equipment, or techniques. These innovations gave the Allied forces a significant advantage and helped ensure eventual victory. 
   
   
   
  Engineering Hitler's Downfall features numerous inventions such as the decoding machines developed at Bletchley Park; the hand-held mine detectors that cleared pathways through enemy minefields, firstly  at the Battle of el Alamein but also in most subsequent actions; the newly-located factories and tanks that enabled the Russians to repulse the German invasion; the escort carriers and long range aircraft that enabled U-boats to be attacked in the mid-Atlantic; and the 4000 plus Bailey bridges that allowed narrow ravines and rivers as wide as the Rhine to be crossed. These and many other examples illustrate what was achieved under such immense pressure.

  The Combat Zone - Murder Race...

  At the end of the 1976 football season, more than forty Harvard athletes went to Boston's Combat Zone to celebrate. In the city's adult entertainment district, drugs and prostitution ran rampant, violent crime was commonplace, and corrupt police turned the other way. At the end of the night, Italian American star athlete Andy Puopolo, raised in the city's North End, was murdered in a stabbing. Three African American men were accused of the crime. His murder made national news and led to the eventual demise of the city's red-light district. 
   
   
   
  Starting with this brutal murder, The Combat Zone tells the story of the Puopolo family's struggle with both a devastating loss and a criminal justice system that produced two trials with opposing verdicts, all within the context of a racially divided Boston. Brogan traces the contentious relationship between Boston's segregated neighborhoods during the busing crisis; shines a light on a court system that allowed lawyers to strike potential jurors based purely on their racial or ethnic identity; and lays bare the deep-seated corruption within the police department and throughout the Combat Zone. What emerges is a fascinating snapshot of the city at a transitional moment in its recent past.

  The Divine Pastimes Of Lord...

  "O Lord Jagannatha, the crest jewel of the Niladri hill! O supreme Brahman in a wooden form! O dark-hued Lord Shyam! Please be merciful upon me." 
  Jagannatha, (Sanskrit: “Lord of the World”) is the form under which Krishna is worshipped at Puri, Orissa, India. The 12th-century temple of Jagannatha in Puri towers above the town. In its sanctuary, wooden images represent Jagannatha, his brother Balabhadra (Balarama), and his sister Subhadra. Although Krishna is absolute and transcendental to material nature, to accept the loving service of His devotees, He appears before us as the temple deity in the form of stone, metal, wood, or paint. Jagannatha is a wooden form of Krishna. Jagannatha is no one else but the ecstatic manifestation of Krishna, who appears in His most merciful form to help us go back to Godhead. Therefore, ISKCON founder Srila Prabhupada introduced the Jagannatha Rathayatra in many cities worldwide to uplift the conditioned souls from the spell of Maya (illusion).  
  Since Lord Jagannatha came to the western world in the mid-1960s millions have embraced the yoga of immersion in his divine pastimes. In this singular rare and unique audiobook, here is everything you need to know about the Bhakti yoga, traditions, and meditational practice of not only Jagannatha but also his brother, Baladev, and his younger sister, Suptra. Written and narrated by a fifty-year devotee of Lord Jagannatha (to whom his guru gave the same name, Sripad Jagannatha Dasa) this is the audiobook for anyone interested in the finer points of yogic philosophy, devotional yoga, and the ancient study of deep self-knowledge. A true treasure from this spiritual plane! Jai Jagannatha!

  Campus Free Speech - A Pocket Guide

  Cass R. Sunstein

  • 0

  Free speech is indispensable on college campuses: allowing varied views and frank exchanges of opinion is a core component of the educational enterprise. But free speech does not mean a free-for-all. The First Amendment prohibits "abridging the freedom of speech," yet laws against perjury or bribery, for example, are still constitutional. In the same way, valuing freedom of speech does not stop a university from regulating speech when doing so is necessary for its educational mission. So where is the dividing line? How can we distinguish reasonable restrictions from impermissible infringement? 
   
   
   
  In this pragmatic, no-nonsense explainer, Cass Sunstein takes us through a wide range of scenarios involving students, professors, and administrators. He discusses why it's consistent with the First Amendment to punish students who shout down a speaker, but not those who chant offensive slogans; why a professor cannot be fired for writing a politically charged op-ed, yet a university might legitimately consider an applicant's political views when deciding whether to hire her. He explains why private universities are not legally bound by the First Amendment yet should, in most cases, look to follow it. And he addresses the thorny question of whether a university should officially take sides on public issues or deliberately keep the institution outside the fray.
