 Wanting Enlightenment Is a Big Mistake: Teachings of Zen Master Seung San By Jon Kabat-Zinn, Hyon Gak 2010 | 224 Pages | ISBN: 8129112019 | EPUB | 1 MB A major figure in the transmission of Zen to the West, Zen Master Seung Sahn was known for his powerful teaching style, which was direct, surprising, and often humorous. He taught that Zen is not about achieving a goal, but about acting spontaneously from "don't-know mind." It is from this "before-thinking" nature, he taught, that true compassion and the desire to serve others naturally arises. This collection of teaching stories, talks, and spontaneous dialogues with students offers readers a fresh and immediate encounter with one of the great Zen masters of the twentieth century.  Vicious, Elegant Bastards: The Truth Behind the Legend of the Krays by Jacky Hyams 2022 | ISBN: 0750992484 | English | 224 pages | EPUB | 1 MB They ruled the streets of London in the 1960s. Yet half a century later, Ronnie and Reggie Kray, unrepentant purveyors of violence and murder, hold more fascination than ever before. Portrayed as charismatic gangsters on the big screen, the saga of the twins, their firm and their 30-odd years behind bars is one which they determinedly and deliberately embellished with every passing year. Yet it is only recently that the stark, unvarnished truth about the twins has started to emerge, so cunningly concealed it was behind the façade of charitable deeds and East End loyalties. Bestselling author Jacky Hyams has carefully re-examined some of the stories, the lies and the myths to reveal a very different portrait of the twins and those closest to them. It reveals the complexity of their relationships with women, the close bonds of family that drove them, and confounds the police's belief that Ronnie Kray senselessly murdered 'one of their own' when in fact the 'victim' survived into old age, dying after both twins had gone. Ronnie Kray once described them as 'vicious, elegant bastards'. It is one of the few true statements ever uttered by either of them.

This was not the city of decadence, carnival, and nostalgia familiar to us from later centuries. It was a ruthless imperial city, with a shrewd commercial base, like ancient Athens, which it resembled in its combination of art and sea empire.

Guy English | PDF | 1981 | 176 Pages | ISBN : 0387905936 | 14.9 MB To many laymen, mathematicians appear to be problem solvers, people who do "hard sums". Even inside the profession we dassify ourselves as either theorists or problem solvers. Mathematics is kept alive, much more than by the activities of either dass, by the appearance of a succession of unsolved problems, both from within mathematics-itself and from the in creasing number of disciplines where it is applied.  Unsolved Problems in Geometry: Unsolved Problems in Intuitive Mathematics by Hallard T. Croft English | PDF | 1991 | 213 Pages | ISBN : 0387975063 | 18.9 MB Mathematicians and non-mathematicians alike have long been fascinated by geometrical problems, particularly those that are intuitive in the sense of being easy to state, perhaps with the aid of a simple diagram. Each section in the book describes a problem or a group of related problems. Usually the problems are capable of generalization of variation in many directions. The book can be appreciated at many levels and is intended for everyone from amateurs to research mathematicians.
 Pawel Markiewicz, "Unlikely Allies: Nazi German and Ukrainian Nationalist Collaboration in the General Government During World War II " English | ISBN: 1612496792 | 2021 | 366 pages | PDF | 11 MB Unlikely Allies offers the first comprehensive and scholarly English-language analysis of German-Ukrainian collaboration in the General Government, an area of occupied Poland during World War II. Drawing on extensive archival material, the Ukrainian position is examined chiefly through the perspective of Ukrainian Central Committee head Volodymyr Kubiiovych, a prewar academic and ardent nationalist. The contact between Kubiiovych and Nazi administrators at various levels shows where their collaboration coincided and where it differed, providing a full understanding of the Ukrainian Committee's ties with the occupation authorities and its relationship with other groups, like Poles and Jews, in occupied Poland. |
