  Shadows of Thought and Fire –...

  I first read about Thoughtforms many years ago. The concept is that you can create a “focused thought” with certain properties from your own thoughts and force of will.  
  It is said that conscious entities can also be created in this manner. 
  This concept has been around for thousands of years. Tulpas and Jinn also seem to be creations of thought in many cases. 
  This book goes into the histories of Jinns, Tulpas, and Thoughtforms which I think are all related and mostly incarnations of our conscious visualizations and force of will.  
  Many individual sightings and experiences are included. 
  This book also includes a Tulpa creation technique near the end which you should find very interesting. 
  Understanding all of these also leads to being able to create objects of power like powerful talismans, rings or other objects.

  The Leaving Season - A Memoir in...

  Kelly McMasters found herself in her mid-thirties living her fantasy: she'd moved with her husband, a painter, from New York City to rural Pennsylvania, where their children roamed idyllic acres in rainboots and diapers. The pastoral landscape and the bookshop they opened were restorative at first, for her and her marriage. But soon, she was quietly plotting her escape. 
   
   
   
  In The Leaving Season, McMasters chronicles the heady rush of falling in love and carving out a life in the city, the slow dissolution of her relationship in an isolated farmhouse, and the complexities of making a new home for herself and her children as a single parent. She delves into the tricky and often devastating balance between seeing and being seen; loss and longing; desire and doubt; and the paradox of leaving what you love in order to survive. 
   
   
   
  Whether considering masculinity in the countryside through the life of a freemartin calf, the vulnerability of new motherhood in the wake of a car crash, or the power of community pulsing through an independent bookshop, The Leaving Season finds in every ending a new beginning.

  Fighting From Above - A Combat...

  The story of the United States Air Force (USAF) stretches back to aerial operations prior to the First World War and looks forward to a new era of airpower in space. Fighting from Above presents a concise account of this history, offering a new perspective on how the air forces of the United States created an independent way of warfare over time. 
   
   
   
  From the earliest battles of the USAF's predecessor organizations to its modern incarnation, Brian D. Laslie identifies four distinct ways of war that developed over four distinct epochs. Beginning with the development of early air power (1906–1941), he highlights the creation of roles and missions. An era of strategic dominance (1942–1975) followed in which the ideas of strategic bombardment ruled the air force; when such notions were unceremoniously proven false during the Vietnam-era conflicts, a period of tactical ascendancy (1975–2019) began. Finally, Laslie considers the current environment, where much of the story of the USAF remains unwritten as it grapples with the prospects and challenges posed by drones and the U.S. Space Force. 
   
   
   
  While detailing combat operations, Fighting from Above also pays close attention to technology, politics, rivalries, logistics, policy, organization, equipping, and training. It is an authoritative history of the development of American airpower.

  Cracking the China Conundrum -...

  China's rise is altering global power relations, reshaping economic debates, and commanding tremendous public attention. Despite extensive media and academic scrutiny, the conventional wisdom about China's economy is often wrong. Cracking the China Conundrum provides a holistic and contrarian view of China's major economic, political, and foreign policy issues. 
   
   
   
  Yukon Huang trenchantly addresses widely accepted yet misguided views in the analysis of China's economy. Huang explains that misconceptions arise in part because China's economic system is unprecedented in many ways—namely because it's driven by both the market and state—which complicates the task of designing accurate and adaptable analysis and research. Further, China's size, regional diversity, and uniquely decentralized administrative system poses difficulties for making generalizations and comparisons from micro to macro levels when trying to interpret China's economic state accurately. 
   
   
   
  This book not only interprets the ideologies that experts continue building misguided theories upon, but also examines the contributing factors to this puzzle. Cracking the China Conundrum provides an enlightening and corrective viewpoint on several major economic and political foreign policy concerns currently shaping China's economic environment.

  Mending Sunday - Embracing...

  Diversity is God’s idea—and unity is how we honor God.Our heavenly Father calls us to unite, but Christians remain some of the most divided people on the planet. It seems we mistake God’s call for unity as a command for uniformity: We split along political and denominational lines and prefer our churches, neighborhoods, and other spaces to be filled with those most “like” ourselves.Our segregated habits may satisfy our need for comfort, but division breaks God’s heart. We are called to embrace the miracle of unity, when what was once separated due to difference comes together—when people from every group, nation, and tongue praise the name of Jesus.In Mending Sunday, Skot Welch offers a pathway for putting on the mind of Christ when it comes to diversity and division. God’s unity doesn’t mean giving up our unique identities and the gifts of ethnicity, family, language, or tradition. Rather, when we put Jesus at the center of our lives and communities, we experience a grace and power we’ve never before known. In a culture bent on division, a church that embraces differences becomes the biggest witness for Christ the world has ever seen.

  This major new manifesto offers a "clear and compelling vision of a postcapitalist society" and shows how left-wing politics can be rebuilt for the twenty-first century (Mark Fisher, author of Capitalist Realism 
   
   
   
  Neoliberalism isn't working. Austerity is forcing millions into poverty and many more into precarious work, while the left remains trapped in stagnant political practices that offer no respite. 
   
   
   
  Inventing the Future is a bold new manifesto for life after capitalism. Against the confused understanding of our high-tech world by both the right and the left, this book claims that the emancipatory and future-oriented possibilities of our society can be reclaimed. Instead of running from a complex future, Nick Srnicek and Alex Williams demand a postcapitalist economy capable of advancing standards, liberating humanity from work and developing technologies that expand our freedoms. 
   
   
   
  This new edition includes a new chapter where they respond to their various critics.
