Summary

In "Six Years With the Texas Rangers: 1875 to 1881," James B. Gillett offers a vivid and compelling memoir that chronicles his experiences as a Texas Ranger during a transformative period in the American West. Gillett's narrative is marked by a concise and engaging literary style; he skillfully combines firsthand accounts with rich details of law enforcement challenges, the sociopolitical landscape of post-Civil War America, and the ruggedness of the Texan terrain. The book captures the spirit and ethos of the Rangers while reflecting broader themes of justice, valor, and the complexities of frontier life. James B. Gillett served with distinction in the Texas Rangers, a background that imbues his writing with authenticity and authority. His experiences reflect not only personal bravery but also the fateful intersections of law enforcement and societal change. Gillett's insights hint at the moral ambiguities faced by those on the frontier, likely influenced by his desire to document and make sense of the tumultuous environment in which he operated. This book is highly recommended for anyone interested in the history of the Texas Rangers, American law enforcement, and the broader narrative of the American West. Gillett's memoir serves as both a historical document and an exhilarating read, offering invaluable perspectives for scholars and enthusiasts alike.

    This Audiobook edition of 'Bhagavad Gita - Sri Krsna's Illuminations on the Perfection of Yoga' with commentary by Swami B.G. Narasingha is not just another commentary on this profound text. The message of Bhagavad Gita is eternal and unchanging, but the time that surrounds us is always changing, thus our perception of life, our current situation and our necessity is also always changing. To meet the changing times and the present necessity, Swami B.G. Narasingha has presented a brief commentary, or Anuvrtti for our modern world. The clear translation of the original sanskrit with concise commentary for the 21st century makes this edition of Bhagavad-gita very approachable and easy to hear. Bhagavad-gītā is the oldest and most widely read book of theistic science in the world today. Also known as the Gītopaniṣad, the Bhagavad-gītā has been the principle handbook of yoga for more than 5,000 years. In contrast to many mundane literatures of the present day, the Bhagavad-gītā is free from mental speculation and is complete in knowledge of the eternal self (ātmā), the process of bhakti-yoga and the nature and identity of the Absolute Truth, Śrī Kṛṣṇa. As such, the Bhagavad-gītā is the single most important book in the world, surpassing all others in wisdom and enlightenment.
