  Some of the Dharma

  Jack Kerouac

  While his masterpiece On the Road languished on the desks of unresponsive editors, Kerouac turned to Buddhism, and in 1953 began writing reading notes on the subject intended for his friend Allen Ginsberg. As his Buddhist study and meditation practice intensified, what had begun as notes evolved into a vast, all-encompassing work of nonfiction into which he poured his life, incorporating poems, haiku, prayers, journal entries, fragments of letters, ideas about writing, sketches, and more. The final manuscript, completed in 1956, was as visually complex as the writing: each page was unique, typed in patterns and interlocking shapes. The elaborate form that Kerouac so painstakingly gave his books is recreated in this typeset facsimile. 
  Passionate, playful, ecstatic, filled with humor, insight, beautiful language, sorrow, and struggle, Some of the Dharma is a far-ranging and extremely revealing work. 
  "Kerouac's work represents the most extensive experiment in language and literary form undertaken by an American writer of his generation." -THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

  "The Causes of the Rebellion in Ireland Disclosed" is a pamphlet written anonymously that analyzes the causes and motivations behind the 1798 Irish Rebellion against British rule. 
  The pamphlet argues that the rebellion was not a spontaneous uprising, but rather the result of a combination of factors that had been building up over time. These factors included economic hardship, religious tensions, and a growing sense of Irish nationalism and desire for independence from British rule. 
  The pamphlet also examines the role of the United Irishmen, a political group that had been working towards Irish independence, and argues that their efforts were instrumental in organizing the rebellion. Additionally, the pamphlet discusses the role of British policies in exacerbating the tensions that led to the rebellion, including the Penal Laws and the suppression of Irish trade. 
  Overall, "The Causes of the Rebellion in Ireland Disclosed" provides a detailed analysis of the factors that led to the 1798 Irish Rebellion, shedding light on a significant event in Irish history and the ongoing struggle for independence from British rule.

  Remember Me As Human - What...

  When Lucy Walsh was seventeen, she was given sixty-three of the love letters her Grandfather Dale wrote her Grandmother Wanda while he was overseas in World War II. A dozen years later, life changing events compelled Lucy to fly from Los Angeles to tiny Newman, Illinois, to spend three days talking with Wanda for what would be their final conversations. What began for Lucy as asking about the letters, became an unexpected master class in truly living. 
  This is the story, much of it conveyed in Wanda's inimitable voice, of Wanda's ninety-seven-year-long life, encompassing everything from her English ancestors to the residents in her nursing home. Through Lucy's candid questions and Wanda's soulful stories, we are swept up into one family's legacy that transports readers right into their own experiences and memories of family. 
  When Lucy isn't talking with Wanda, she visits other relatives and her own memories: the many trips over the years to Illinois and her mother's family; growing up in Los Angeles with two fathers, one a rock star; becoming a performer herself. Inevitably, in her effort to understand where and who she comes from, it becomes the story of Lucy's life as well, to which all readers can relate to in their own search for Self. 
  We fall in love with the unforgettable Grandma Wanda Mae, as she shares insights and confessions with plenty of comedic relief amongst the pain; making us laugh so hard we cry, and cry so hard we come back around to laughter. This book is a treasure trove of all Wanda has to teach us about what it truly means to be deeply, imperfectly, gloriously human, at every age.
