  What if reality itself is a union? 
  Not a division between spirit and matter… 
  but a dance between consciousness and energy. 
  In Shiva and Shakti, Dr Bhaskar Bora takes you into the heart of Tantra—not as myth, not as sensationalism, but as one of the most profound philosophical and spiritual systems ever developed. 
  At its core lies a simple yet revolutionary vision: 
  Shiva is consciousness. 
  Shakti is energy. 
  And all of existence is their union. 
  Drawing from classical Tantric texts, Shaiva and Shakta traditions, and centuries of philosophical insight, this book explores: 
  • What Tantra really is (beyond myths and misconceptions) 
  • The true meaning of Shiva and Shakti 
  • The role of the body, energy, and consciousness in spiritual practice 
  • The rise and evolution of Tantra across Indian history 
  • The sacred feminine and the power of Shakti 
  • The relationship between Tantra, Vedanta, Yoga, and other darshanas 
  • The deeper symbolism behind rituals, mantras, and kundalini 
  This is not a superficial introduction. 
  It is a deep, reflective, and intellectually grounded exploration—written for those who want to understand Tantra as a living philosophy, not a distorted stereotype. 
  Whether you are: 
  • A student of Hindu philosophy 
  • A seeker exploring consciousness and spirituality 
  • A reader curious about Tantra beyond popular myths 
  • Or someone drawn to the deeper meaning of Shiva and Shakti 
  this book offers a powerful new lens. 
  Tantra does not reject the world. 
  It reveals it as sacred. 
  And in that revelation, it asks a profound question: 
  What if everything you experience is already divine?

  China's Church Divided - Bishop...

  During the Cultural Revolution, the Chinese state sought to eradicate religious life throughout the country. But by 1978, two years after the death of Mao Zedong, the Communist Party under Deng Xiaoping cautiously embraced the revival of religion. At the same time, the newly elected Pope John Paul II made a point of renewing outreach to China. Paul P. Mariani tracks the fate of Chinese Catholicism in the wake of these transformative leadership changes, focusing on the influential Catholic community in Shanghai. 
   
   
   
  Earlier policies of the 1950s had fractured the Catholic community into a state-approved "patriotic" church that answered to the government and an underground church loyal to Rome. Even after the Cultural Revolution, Mariani shows, this divide remained firmly intact. The resulting tensions were on vivid display in Shanghai, owing to the leadership of the Jesuit priest Louis Jin Luxian. Bishop Jin used his position to revitalize the local Catholic community, but his cooperation with the party put him ever at odds with underground church leaders. 
   
   
   
  Sensitive to the ideals, compromises, and disappointments of Catholics on both sides of the rift, China's Church Divided reveals how the community navigated the irreconcilable differences between a worldwide Church centered in Rome and a regime wary of foreign spiritual authority.

  The Official CIA Manual of...

  A top-secret manual for training CIA field agents in deception and sleight-of-hand was thought to be a rumor…until a single surviving copy was discovered in the agency’s archives. 
  In 1953, a top-secret manual teaching agents sleight-of-hand and other deception techniques was written for the CIA by America’s then most famous magician. All copies were believed destroyed by the CIA’s purge of the infamous MKULTRA documents in 1973, and there was no proof of the manual’s existence . . . until a copy was discovered among the CIA’s recently declassified archives. 
  The manual in this work is thought to represent the only surviving copy of magician John Mulholland’s instructions: 
  Handling Tablets (preparing pills and tablets; hiding pills in hand, matchbook, wallet, and money) 
  Handling Powders (creating containers for holding powders; using duplicate pencils to make drops) 
  Handling Liquids (making containers to drop or spray liquids; using matchbooks, coins, wallets, cigarettes, and bare hands; creating distracting stories that are both rational and simple) 
  Removing Objects (mastering preparatory actions, timing, body position, and the art of distraction; making secret pockets; picking up and secretly folding paper) 
  Special Notes for Women (modifying earlier techniques for women’s use; using pocket mirrors, jewelry, cosmetics, handkerchiefs, and evening bags) 
  Working as a Team (Setting the roles of trickster and assistant; notes on the proper use of signals) 
  Along with the original text, espionage historian H. Keith Melton and longtime CIA gadgeteer Robert Wallace provides an introduction illuminating the history of CIA agent deception and dirty tricks, and the role of this secret manual in that highly controversial program.

  A Realistic Blacktopia - Why We...

  The United States is dogged by racism and racial disparities in income, wealth, health, education, and criminal justice. Philosophers disagree on what kind of politics is needed to address this problem. Do we pursue race-specific remedies to undo racism or do we assume the permanence of racism and opt for non-race-specific remedies in pursuit of a more egalitarian society? Paradoxically, the way to make racial progress in racist America is to downplay race. 
   
   
   
  In A Realistic Blacktopia, political philosopher Derrick Darby challenges the "small tent" approach by examining U.S. Supreme Court cases on education and voting rights arguing that they hold general lessons about the limits of racial politics. Securing racial justice in racist America calls for "big tent" remedies, and Darby argues that pursuing non-race-specific remedies with maximal democratic inclusion is a necessary strategy for mitigating racial inequality and achieving racial justice. 
   
   
   
  A Realistic Blacktopia offers clarity on how racism persists, contrary to claims that America is a post-racial society. Explaining why the myth of post-racialism cannot be ignored in crafting remedies for racial inequality, Darby supplies a principled pragmatic proposal for achieving racial justice. Darby also explains why achieving racial justice requires inclusive democracy.
