Summary

"Spanish Time Culture" explores how Spain's unique approach to time shapes its society. It examines how historical events and cultural values have influenced the nation's perception and utilization of time, revealing that Spanish scheduling is more than just practical; it's a reflection of prioritizing social connections. Intriguingly, this challenges conventional notions of productivity, offering an alternative perspective on societal organization. 

 
The book investigates the historical evolution of Spanish time culture, from the medieval period to contemporary society. It delves into modern manifestations such as late-night dinners and flexible work schedules. 

 
Furthermore, it analyzes the social consequences of this distinctive time culture on business, education, and relationships. This approach highlights the cultural values embedded in daily life, such as valuing relationships over strict schedules. 

 
The study contrasts "Northern" and "Southern" European time cultures, challenging assumptions about universal scheduling norms. Through historical documents, surveys, and interviews, the book provides a comprehensive understanding of Spanish time. Progressing across chapters, it offers valuable insights for anyone interacting with Spaniards, bridging history, social science, and cultural studies to demonstrate the pervasive influence of time culture.

  • The Noble Eightfold Path - Way to the End of Suffering - cover

    The Noble Eightfold Path - Way...

    Bhikkhu Bodhi

    The Buddha's teachings center around two basic principles. One is the Four Noble Truths, in which the Buddha diagnoses the problem of suffering and indicates the treatment necessary to remedy this problem. The other is the Noble Eightfold Path, the practical discipline he prescribes to uproot and eliminate the deep underlying causes of suffering.
     
    This book offers a concise and thorough explanation of the Eightfold Path. Bhikkhu Bodhi examines each factor of the path to determine what it implies in the way of practical training. In the concluding chapter, he shows how all factors of the path function in unison to bring about the realization of the goal of liberation.
     
    From the preface by the author:
     
    "The essence of the Buddha's teaching can be summed up in two principles: the Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path. The first covers the side of doctrine, and the primary response its elicits is understanding; the second covers the side of discipline, in the broadest sense of that word, and the primary response it calls for is practice."

    Extraordinary Wing Women - True...

    Celebrating the beauty, power, and joy of female friendship 
    Wingman: a pilot who flies behind and outside the leader of a flying formation. 
    While researching her first book, That’s What She Said, Kimothy Joy discovered that the famous women she was profiling were not alone in their success. Each of them were propelled forward by a supporter—a wing woman—a sister, a mom, a best friend, a close confidant. The remarkable partnerships they shared were as multifaceted and complex as the individual women themselves.  
    Extraordinary Wing Women is Joy’s tribute to the importance of female camaraderie. This collection features 33 stories, each varying in length. Some will be familiar power duos—Oprah and Gayle, Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan, Venus and Serena Williams. Others are less known though just as inspiring such as the friendship of Julia Child and her editor Avis DeVoto, Junko Tabei and her all-women mountaineering team, and the Mariposas—the Mirabel sisters who overthrew a dictator in the Dominican Republic. The women featured are from across the world and from diverse periods of history. They are activists, artists, scientists, politicians, athletes, musicians, writers, and more—role models for every woman. 
    Joy dedicates Extraordinary Wing Women to the generations of women who are dismantling the myth that we must compete with one another to pursue and achieve our dreams. History and fiction have shown that we are stronger when we support one another. Joy hopes to inspire and teach us that we, too, have our own wings and can soar higher than ever before with our wing women beside us.

    A Manual of Buddhism 
    By Dudley Wright 
    Introduction by Professor Edmund J. Mills 
    Narrated by Oberon Michaels 
    Buddhism has a vast array of scriptures but a relatively small body of essential doctrines. In this short treatise the author presents a systematic introduction to Buddhist teaching, commencing with a discussion of the Noble Eightfold Path. Other topics include the Buddhist views of God and enlightenment, and the practice of Buddhism in the world of today. 
    Dudley Wright (1868 - 1949) wrote extensively on a wide variety of religious subjects and was also active as an investigator of the paranormal. He was a practising Freemason, who believed that all religions shared a common basis.
