Commentaries On Living 1

J. Krishnamurti

Publisher: Krishnamurti Foundation America

Summary

In this series of commentaries J. Krishnamurti, one of the great thinkers of our time, touches upon many human problems-our hopes, our fears, our illusions, our beliefs, our prejudices-and in the simplest language seems to pierce to their roots."The sheer simplicity is breathtaking. The reader is given, in one paragraph, often in one sentence, enough to keep him exploring, questioning, thinking for days." -Anne Morrow Lindbergh."The insight, spiritual and poetic, of these commentaries is as simply expressed as it is searching in its demand."-Times Literary Supplement (London)."Krishnamurti is no other than he seems, a free man, one of the first quality, growing older as diamonds do but the gem-like flame not dating, and alive in these Commentaries. It is a treasure."-Francis Hacket, The New Republic

Tracing Your House History - A...

Gill Blanchard

“With its practical slant and focus on demystifying unfamiliar property documents, this is the perfect introduction to tracing a house history.” —Family Tree Magazine 
 
Anyone who wants to find out about the history of their house—of their home—needs to read this compact, practical handbook. Whether you live in a manor house or on a planned estate, in a laborer’s cottage, a tied house, a Victorian terrace, a twentieth-century council house or a converted warehouse—this is the book for you. In a series of concise, information-filled chapters, Gill Blanchard shows you how to trace the history of your house or flat, how to gain an insight into the lives of the people who lived in it before you, and how to fit it into the wider history of your neighborhood. 
 
A wealth of historical evidence is available in libraries, archives and record offices, in books and online, and this is the ideal introduction to it. Gill Blanchard explores these resources in depth, explains their significance and directs the researcher to the most relevant, and revealing, aspects of them. She makes the research process understandable, accessible and fun, and in the process, she demystifies the sometimes-obscure language and layout of the documents that researchers will come up against. 
 
“This book is more than a guide to researching the history of your house, or a house of interest. It is a font of interest if you are seeking to research and understand the social and domestic lives of people and their communities from early times.” —Federation of Family History Societies

Healing Your Back Of Chronic Pain

Christopher Maloney

Got Back Pain? Have you tried stretches, rest, and pain medication without success? Thinking about surgery?The pain relief you seek might be closer than you think. In this short, researched book, Dr. Maloney explains how habitual pain responses can be caused by both physical and emotional triggers. Move beyond stretching exercises and mental self-therapy to combine the best of both with new research on the programming of our muscles. Read Dr. Maloney’s review of the existing options and save yourself time, money and grief when you find your own path to healing. When he was twelve years old, Christopher Maloney found out he had a “bad back.” But decades later Dr. Christopher Maloney, N.D., doesn’t live in chronic pain. He has worked for years to discover solutions beyond the conventional. In the process, Dr. Maloney discovered a map of back pain. He has used that map to help hundreds of people with back pain and now shares the map with the world. Before he became a doctor, Dr. Maloney gave massages to friends and family members. In clinic, he became a sought-after last resort for unrelieved back and neck pain. As Dr. Maloney went into practice, he found that bodywork done over time with patient participation resulted in far better outcomes. In the process, patients released habitual responses that had troubled them for years. Healing Your Back of Chronic Pain contains the research behind Dr. Maloney’s treatment of the back. It discusses the shortcomings of existing treatments and suggests combining treatments for better results. Dr. Maloney gives an overview of his map of the back, along with patient examples that worked. Then he gives advice on how to map your own back. Ever a realist, Dr. Maloney ends his book with ten things patients should try before resorting to surgery. Short, researched, and direct, Healing Your Back of Chronic Pain combines classic common sense with cutting-edge research. By the time patients finish Healing Your Back of Chronic Pain, they should know why their current treatments haven’t worked long-term, how to combine treatments, and at come away with at least one new idea for relieving their back pain.

American Democracy - Where Are...

Austin Sarat

One Day University presents a series of audio lectures recorded in real-time from some of the top minds in the United States. Given by award-winning professors and experts in their field, these recorded lectures dive deep into the worlds of religion, government, literature, and social justice. As is well known, America's founding political commitments were to democracy and the rule of law. Some have described them as the soul and spirit of our nation. And over the generations, citizens have given their lives to preserve those commitments. But it turns out that their meanings are contested and open to interpretation. This lecture will discuss those contested meanings as they have played out in American history. We will, in addition, assess the health of democracy and the rule of law in the United States. We will consider challenges posed by the Watergate scandal, life in an age of terrorism, and the relationship between the Executive and Judicial branches of our national government. Today some believe that the rule of law and democracy are under attack by the current administration. But, could it be that this is a symptom rather than a cause of what some see as our current crisis? Does America face an erosion of public faith in long taken-for-granted aspects of our political life? As we answer those questions we will discuss the meaning and advantages of the rule of law and democratic governance. This audio lecture includes a supplemental PDF.
