Sinopse

Oak Island Pit explores the enduring mystery of Oak Island, focusing on the sophisticated 18th-century engineering behind the infamous Money Pit and its intricate flood tunnels. Rather than solely focusing on the treasure hunt narrative, the book delves into the architectural design and historical context of the site, combining archaeological findings, historical records, and engineering analyses.

 
The construction of the Money Pit involved impressive civil engineering for its time; some experts believe the flood tunnels were designed to protect something of great value, while others suggest a different purpose altogether. The book uniquely dissects the physical evidence, such as wood samples and structural components, to analyze the site's original intent. It argues that understanding the engineering principles employed is key to unraveling the mystery.

 
The historical context explores potential motivations for such an elaborate system, considering the geopolitical landscape of the 1700s, including piracy and naval warfare.

 
The book progresses logically, starting with an introduction to the Oak Island mystery and subsequent excavation attempts. It then analyzes archaeological findings and delves into the engineering aspects of the flood system, using detailed diagrams and comparative analyses. Finally, it integrates historical records and maps to contextualize the findings, offering a data-driven approach to this Canadian mystery that moves beyond speculative theories.

    In this book, Ben Connelly guides us through the intricacies of Yogacara and the richness of the "Thirty Verses."

    In fourth-century India one of the great geniuses of Buddhism, Vasubandhu, sought to reconcile the diverse ideas and forms of Buddhism practiced at the time and demonstrate how they could be effectively integrated into a single system. This was the Yogacara movement, and it continues to have great influence in modern Tibetan and Zen Buddhism. 
     
     
     
    Vasubandhu's "Thirty Verses" lay out a path of practice that integrates the most powerful of Buddhism's psychological and mystical possibilities. Although Yogacara has a reputation for being extremely complex, the "Thirty Verses" distills the principles of these traditions to their most practical forms, and this book follows that sense of focus; it goes to the heart of the matter—how do we alleviate suffering through shedding our emotional knots and our sense of alienation? 
     
     
     
    This is a great introduction to a philosophy, a master, and a work whose influence reverberates throughout modern Buddhism.

    A Short History of Trans Misogyny

    "A beautifully written and argued book." —Torrey Peters, author of Detransition, Baby 
     
     
     
    There is no shortage of voices demanding everyone pay attention to the violence trans women suffer. But one frighteningly basic question seems never to be answered: why does it happen? If men are not inherently evil and trans women do not intrinsically invite reprisal—which would make violence unstoppable—then the psychology of that violence had to arise at a certain place and time. The trans panic had to be invented. 
     
     
     
    Award-winning historian Jules Gill-Peterson takes us from the bustling port cities of New York and New Orleans to the streets of London and Paris in search of the emergence of modern trans misogyny. She connects the colonial and military districts of the British Raj, the Philippines, and Hawai'i to the lively travesti communities of Latin America, where state violence has stamped a trans label on vastly different ways of life. Weaving together the stories of historical figures in a richly detailed narrative, the book shows how trans femininity emerged under colonial governments, the sex work industry, the policing of urban public spaces, and the area between the formal and informal economy. A Short History of Trans Misogyny is the first book to explain why trans women are burdened by such a weight of injustice and hatred.
