DESCRIPTION:
My Blue Book of Grammar is a course that has been conceptualized and designed keeping in mind the increasingly dynamic role of the English language in today’s world. Especially in our country, where English serves as the lingua franca, a grammar course has to offer not only an exposition of the pedagogy but also the exhibition of the utility of that pedagogy. The aim of a grammar series should be to encourage the development of competency amongst learners, even though their proficiency levels may vary. While the level of exposure to English of all learners may be different, a grammar series should aid in the development of a certain level of confidence amongst the learners, with the end result being that they are able to converse without hesitation in English.

The Smut Revolution - From Taboo...

Skyler Bosse

There is a reason your pulse quickens when you turn to that one particular scene in a book – the one where tension spills over, where restraint shatters, and where characters surrender to something primal, something undeniable. That moment, the one so many readers secretly crave, is smut. 
Once whispered about behind closed doors, hidden beneath the guise of “guilty pleasures,” smut has clawed its way into mainstream literature, proving that what was once considered taboo is now a genre in its own right. From centuries-old erotic manuscripts to today’s bestselling scorchers, smut has evolved, adapted, and seduced millions along the way. 
But why do we read it? Why do we write it? And why does society continue to both embrace and condemn it in equal measure? 
Each chapter in this book begins with an excerpt – an unfiltered glimpse into the heart of smut – before shifting to the forces that shape it, the way it has been challenged, censored, and celebrated. Some scenes will linger, some may provoke, but all of them exist because smut, at its core, is more than just raw lust – it is a reflection of desire, fantasy, and the ever-changing boundaries of storytelling. 
So, turn the page. But be warned: once you indulge, there is no going back.

Senility And the Brain Cells -...

Jiddu Krishnamurti

Senility and the brain cells - 1 June 1980  
• Is the human brain deteriorating? 
• The human brain is not a particular brain, it doesn’t belong to me or to anyone 
else, it is the human brain which has evolved for millions of years. 
• Can the brain not only be aware of its own movement but can the brain itself 
have enough energy to break all patterns and move out of it? 
• Is psychological knowledge not in itself a factor of the shrinking of the brain? 
• The ending of suffering comes about when the self, which is built up through 
time, is no longer there. 
• If there is an insight into the nature of time the very brain cells which are part 
of time break down. The brain cells mutate, bring about a change in 
themselves. 
• Meditation is insight.

Opening the Hand of Thought -...

Kôshô Uchiyama

For over thirty years, Opening the Hand of Thought has offered an introduction to Zen Buddhism and meditation unmatched in clarity and power. This is the revised edition of Kosho Uchiyama's singularly incisive classic. 
 
 
 
This new edition contains even more useful material: new prefaces, an index, and extended endnotes, in addition to a revised glossary. As Jisho Warner writes in her preface, Opening the Hand of Thought "goes directly to the heart of Zen practice . . . showing how Zen Buddhism can be a deep and life-sustaining activity." She goes on to say, "Uchiyama looks at what a person is, what a self is, how to develop a true self not separate from all things, one that can settle in peace in the midst of life." 
 
 
 
By turns humorous, philosophical, and personal, Opening the Hand of Thought is above all a great book for the Buddhist practitioner. It's a perfect follow-up for the listener who has heard Zen Meditation in Plain English and is especially useful for those who have not yet encountered a Zen teacher.

Wealth Supremacy - How the...

Marjorie Kelly, Edgar Villanueva

This powerful analysis explains how the bias toward wealth that is woven into the very fabric of American capitalism is damaging people, the economy, and the planet and explores what the foundations of a new economy could be. 
 
This bold manifesto exposes seven myths underlying wealth supremacy-the bias that institutionalizes infinite extraction of wealth by and for the wealthy and is the hidden force behind economic injustice, the climate crisis, and so many other problems of our day: 
 
-	The Myth of Maximizing-No amount of wealth is ever enough. 
-	The Myth of Fiduciary Duty-Corporate managers' most sacred duty is to expand capital. 
-	The Myth of Corporate Governance-Corporate membership must be reserved for capital alone. 
-	The Myth of the Income Statement-Income to capital must always be increased, while income to labor must always be decreased. 
-	The Myth of Materiality-Profit-that is, material gain-alone is real, while social and environmental damages are not. 
-	The Myth of Takings-The first duty of government must be the protection of private property. 
-	The Myth of the Free Market-There should be no limits on the sphere of influence of corporations and capital. 
 
Kelly argues instead for the democratization of ownership: public ownership of vital services, worker-owned businesses, and more. And she sketches the outlines of a nonextractive capitalism that would be subordinate to the public interest. This is an ambitious reimagining of the very foundations of our economy and society.
