    Recorded on March 30 and 31, 1969 at a New York City sculpture studio, these are the original talks by Ram Dass that became basis for his seminal book, Be Here Now. Over 40 years later, Be Here Now still stands as the highly readable centerpiece of Western articulation of Eastern philosophy and continues to be the instruction manual of choice for generations of spiritual seekers. 
     
    
     
    Ram Dass talks about how we can be present and utterly accepting of each moment in life as it is in the here and now, and uses stories such as the Sermon on the Mount and the teachings of Ramakrishna to illustrate concepts such as finding the sacred in the “profane”, grasping and why we do it, yin and yang duality and oneness, and unconditional love. 
     
    
     
    These talks are a primer on the fundamental underpinnings of so many spiritual practices popular today. We are also extremely pleased to have the inspired artwork of Peter Max on this digital download cover. 
     
    
     
    Following is a transcribed excerpt from one of these seminal teachings: "If I think life is just a game, then I am taking from it the meaning of its acts. I am denigrating the precious nature of the life process. Do you think the man that made the music stand was able to make a more exquisite music stand because he was not attached to making a music stand? Do you think he really got closer to the essence of music standness because he did not remain in subject object relation to the music stand? That’s the issue."

    "Common Ground is accessible to teachers at all levels yet firmly rooted in current questions of second language acquisition (SLA). One of its primary strengths is the authors themselves, both of whom are accomplished language teachers who understand the challenges and opportunities in communication-focused language teaching. Their experience, expertise, insight, and enthusiasm for language teaching translate into a book that is refreshingly practical for teachers, especially teachers who are striving to break from traditional drills commonly presented in textbooks. I hope this book finds its way into the hands of every language teacher who is looking for concrete examples of how SLA principles meet the realities of the classroom." —Stacey Margarita Johnson, Vanderbilt University

    Egyptian Religious Festivals and...

    Religious festivals in ancient Egypt were not just moments of worship but essential aspects of social, political, and spiritual life. These celebrations brought communities together, reaffirmed the divine authority of the pharaoh, and ensured the continued favor of the gods. Through elaborate ceremonies, processions, and offerings, Egyptians demonstrated their devotion while reinforcing the cosmic order, known as Ma’at. 
    Religion was deeply woven into the fabric of daily life, and festivals provided opportunities for the people to express their reverence for the gods beyond routine temple rituals. Many celebrations coincided with agricultural cycles, aligning the will of the gods with the prosperity of the land. The inundation of the Nile, for example, was both a natural and a divine event, prompting rituals to honor deities like Hapi, the god of the flood. The timing of major festivals was often determined by celestial events, linking human activities with the movement of the stars and planets. 
    The pharaoh played a crucial role in these religious festivities, acting as both a political leader and a divine intermediary. He was believed to be the earthly representative of the gods, ensuring the stability of Egypt by maintaining a strong connection with the divine realm. Many ceremonies included the pharaoh making offerings to the gods, participating in processions, or performing symbolic acts to renew his legitimacy and strength. One of the most significant of these was the Sed Festival, a grand event that reaffirmed the ruler’s divine right to govern. Through public participation in such festivals, the people reaffirmed their trust in the pharaoh’s ability to maintain cosmic balance.

    An urgent examination of the world barreling toward a new Cold War. 
     
     
     
    With a historian's eye and a theorist's ingenuity, Michael Doyle, whose writings on liberal peace have revolutionized modern statesmanship, cogently assesses the tectonic shifts threatening a global order that has held for more than seventy years. As tensions among China, Russia, and the US escalate perilously toward a new Cold War, Doyle introduces a radical paradigm that will facilitate the international cooperation necessary to avert the global threats of our time. 
     
     
     
    Combining dramatic history with trenchant analysis and landmark theory, Doyle explores the impacts of cyberwarfare, foreign election meddling, and the unprecedented schism of modern politics on American foreign policy. He demonstrates that there can be no success in addressing climate change without China's cooperation, nor any hope of averting nuclear catastrophe without Russia's. 
     
     
     
    In the tradition of Gaddis's The Cold War and Clark's The Sleepwalkers, Cold Peace provides one of the most necessary analyses of global power in decades.
