Synopsis

In "Peru as It Is," Archibald Smith offers a vivid and insightful exploration of the social, economic, and cultural landscape of 19th-century Peru. Through a blend of meticulous observation and engaging narrative style, Smith paints a comprehensive picture of Peruvian society during a period marked by significant political changes and social challenges. His use of descriptive prose effectively captures the rich tapestry of life in Peru, reflecting not only the geographical diversity but also the complex interplay between indigenous traditions and colonial legacies. Smith's work serves as both a travelogue and a socio-political commentary, enriching the reader's understanding of a nation in transition. Archibald Smith was a keen observer of socio-political dynamics and a traveler whose experiences in South America deeply informed his writing. His background in both literature and social science enabled him to approach the subject matter with both depth and empathy. Smith's exposure to the realities of life in Peru, coupled with his desire to illuminate the struggles and triumphs of its people, inspired him to delve into the heart of this enigmatic country, making his observations all the more poignant. This book is highly recommended for scholars, students, and anyone interested in Latin American studies or the intricacies of cultural intersections. Smith's profound insights and engaging writing style not only provide valuable historical context but also invite readers to consider the enduring legacy of colonialism and the resilience of the Peruvian people.

    ". Direct perception is freedom - 10 February 1971 
    • Can the mind living in this world ever be free, not only superficially but 
    profoundly, at the very root of its existence? 
    • ‘Freedom from’ is an abstraction, but freedom in observing ‘what is’ and going 
    beyond it is actual freedom. 
    How do I observe greed? Do I observe it as an outsider looking in or do I observe it without the observer? 
    Without the mind being free you cannot live in order. 
    Q: Three years have passed; I have no energy to be aware of my reactions. Q: Can we seek God through observation?"

    An engaging account of innovation in healthcare and why the results fall short for patients and society. 
     
     
     
    The evolution of the cell phones we carry in our pockets demonstrates that quality can increase while prices fall. Why doesn't healthcare also get better and cheaper? 
     
     
     
    In Why Not Better and Cheaper?, James B. Rebitzer and Robert S. Rebitzer offer an answer to this question. Bringing together research on incentives, social norms, and market competition, they argue that the healthcare system generates the wrong kinds of innovation. It is too easy to profit from low-value innovations and too hard to profit from innovations that reduce the costs of care. The result is a healthcare system that is profusely innovative yet remarkably ineffective in discovering ways to deliver increased value at lower cost. 
     
     
     
    Why Not Better and Cheaper? sheds new light on the trajectory of innovation in healthcare, and how to point innovation in a better direction.

    “Using old koans as a jumping off point, Magid brings a wonderfully unorthodox (and helpful) perspective to traditional Zen teachings. As both Zen teacher and psychoanalyst, Magid unmasks the psychological naivete that is still all too prevalent in contemporary Zen practice, and shows how it can lead to problems for students, and tangled relationships between teachers and students. In each insightful essay, Magid makes a journey from a short koan into far territories of the heart.”—Susan Moon, author of This Is Getting Old 
    In this inspiring and incisive offering, Barry Magid uses the language of modern psychology and psychotherapy to illuminate one of Buddhism's most powerful and often mysterious technologies: the Zen koan. What's more, Magid also uses the koans to expand upon the insights of psychology (especially self psychology and relational psychotherapy) and open for the reader new perspectives on the functioning of the human mind and heart. Nothing Is Hidden explores many rich themes, including facing impermanence and the inevitability of change, working skillfully with desire and attachment, and discovering when "surrender and submission" can be liberating and when they shade into emotional bypassing. With a sophisticated view of the rituals and teachings of traditional Buddhism, Magid helps us see how we sometimes subvert meditation into just another "curative fantasy" or make compassion into a form of masochism.

    A timely reconsideration of the history of the profession, Outside Literary Studies investigates how midcentury Black writers built a critical practice tuned to the struggle against racism and colonialism. 
      
    This striking contribution to Black literary studies examines the practices of Black writers in the mid-twentieth century to revise our understanding of the institutionalization of literary studies in America. Andy Hines uncovers a vibrant history of interpretive resistance to university-based New Criticism by Black writers of the American left. These include well-known figures such as Langston Hughes and Lorraine Hansberry as well as still underappreciated writers like Melvin B. Tolson and Doxey Wilkerson. In their critical practice, these and other Black writers levied their critique from “outside” venues: behind the closed doors of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, in the classroom at a communist labor school under FBI surveillance, and in a host of journals. From these vantages, Black writers not only called out the racist assumptions of the New Criticism, but also defined Black literary and interpretive practices to support communist and other radical world-making efforts in the mid-twentieth century. Hines’s book thus offers a number of urgent contributions to literary studies: it spotlights a canon of Black literary texts that belong to an important era of anti-racist struggle, and it fills in the pre-history of the rise of Black studies and of ongoing Black dissent against the neoliberal university.
