Synopsis

First Video Broadcasts explores the genesis of television, revealing how moving images transitioned from laboratory experiments to a revolutionary medium. It highlights the ingenious inventions and the visionary individuals, such as John Logie Baird and Philo Farnsworth, who overcame significant technological hurdles to transmit the first flickering images. These early broadcasts weren't merely technological feats; they fundamentally altered how information and entertainment reached the masses, establishing the groundwork for modern media. The book explains complex concepts, like the Nipkow disk, in an accessible manner, blending technical details with social and cultural context. It also emphasizes the intense competition and patent battles that fueled innovation during this period. By drawing from original patents, personal correspondence, and early broadcast accounts, First Video Broadcasts provides a tangible sense of the technology's evolution and the excitement surrounding early television. Beginning with the scientific principles of image transmission, the book progresses through the contributions of key inventors to the public reception of early broadcasts. The book concludes by analyzing the impact on entertainment, news, and advertising, examining television's trajectory and its lasting influence on society.

  • Opening to Oneness - A Practical and Philosophical Guide to the Zen Precepts - cover

    Opening to Oneness - A Practical...

    In Opening to Oneness, Zen teacher Nancy Baker offers a detailed path of practice for Zen students planning to take the precepts and for anyone, Buddhist or non-Buddhist, interested in deepening their personal study of ethical living. She reveals that there are three levels of each precept: a literal level (don't kill, not even a bug), a relative level that takes moral ambiguity into account (what if it's a malaria-spreading mosquito?), and an ultimate level—the paradoxical level of nonduality, in which the precepts are naturally expressed from a state of oneness. 
     
     
     
    Full of nuance, intelligence, and compassion, the first half of the book addresses the ten grave precepts mostly from the relative level, including instructions for how to practice these precepts individually and in pairs or groups. The second half of the book takes a deep dive into looking at the precepts from the ultimate perspective, largely through an exploration of the writings of Dogen, the thirteenth-century religious genius who founded the Soto Zen school. 
     
     
     
    At once comprehensive and innovative, Opening to Oneness will take its place alongside classics like The Mind of Clover, The Heart of Being, and Being Upright as a cherished guide to Zen Buddhist ethics.

    1982 Lebanon War - A History...

    The politics and recent history of the Middle East can seem baffling to outsiders. Nowhere was that more evident than during the Lebanon War that raged in 1982. Even contemporary reporting often made fundamental mistakes, and there was little general understanding of what was happening and why. This conflict involved a bewildering number of groups and influences from different parts of the world. The precipitating event was the attempted assassination of the Israeli ambassador in London, carried out by members of a Palestinian terrorist group. In response, Israel’s armed forces, the IDF, launched an invasion of Lebanon in which the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) had established its own army. The IDF also found themselves fighting against the armed forces of Syria. Some Lebanese served in the forces directed by Syria, some fought with Palestinian groups, while others aligned themselves with Israel. 
    The outcome was a savage and confusing war that brought misery and suffering to the majority of ordinary people of Lebanon and turned parts of the Lebanese capital, Beirut, into a war-torn wasteland. While the invasion of Lebanon was a military victory for Israel, it notably failed to bring peace or stability to this region. This is the complex and tragic story of the 1982 Lebanon War.

    Many people do and sadly there is very little information available to be found online or in the written research, or with counsellors and therapists that can help. Narcissistic abuse is not officially recognised, nor is it widely even known. 
    Even when it is accepted, recognised and known not many people seem to know what to DO ABOUT IT to heal it… The fact is being in a relationship with a narcissist over a long period of time has long lasting traumatic effects that can be extremely catastrophic to the person suffering them.

    - Feelings of helplessness and despair

Another 5, 7, 18, 30 or even 40 years of life? What would you do if you received a medical diagnosis saying you only had two weeks to live? How would you react if someone told you the exact date, day, and time of your death? Would you be upset, disappointed, sad, and depressed to the point of committing suicide because everything no longer has value, or would you celebrate the last years, months, or days of your life, full of smiles of joy, with your family, friends, and loved ones, spending all your money on parties and travelling all over the world? Let us be patient, let us be courageous, let us be bold and, above all, let us show gratitude every day! We do not have much time in this world, so we should not wait either; we should act now! We will have many difficulties in this life and many obstacles, but we must not stop. Let us make our dreams come true; tomorrow we will die! Try, and you will succeed!

This novel will make you reflect deeply on death and life and will even influence you, even if for a short period, to live much better, happy, smiling and recognising that, in the end, life is an offer and that we are not in this world forever. Does each of us have a specific and predetermined day of death? THE DATE OF YOUR DEATH IS ALSO EXACT.
