Hibs Boy The Life and Violent Times of Scotland's Most Notorious Football Hooligan
Free Download Andy Blance, "Hibs Boy: The Life and Violent Times of Scotland's Most Notorious Football Hooligan"
English | 2010 | ISBN: 1905769199 | EPUB | pages: 232 | 1.2 mb
Andy Blance is the most dedicated football hooligan Scotland has ever produced. One of the original members of the Hibs Capital City Service he has been at the heart of every CCS encounter, apart from those he missed while in prison. Yet Blance is something of an enigma: to the police he is a serious criminal, to those who know him he is a loyal friend, to fellow Hibbys he is a dedicated supporter who never misses a game. This is a dark, violent and uncompromising book but it is also a moving one. It is a book that everyone with an interest in football and the casual culture will want to read. Above all it is an honest book, stripped of artifice and exaggeration. It is the truth.

Guru Pema Here and Now The Mythology of the Lotus Born
Free Download The Eighth Khamtrul Rinpoche, "Guru Pema Here and Now: The Mythology of the Lotus Born"
English | 2015 | ISBN: 1507662955 | PDF | pages: 356 | 3.4 mb
Guru Pema is Padmasambhava, the wandering tantric yogin from Orgyen who became Tibet's Great Guru. To his disciples he was the Lotus Born and, later, to his followers, he became Guru Rimpoche, the precious guru-buddha who resides in our heart center. Identical to the nature of mind, he emanates tulkus to demonstrate Dzogchen, the Great Perfection. In this ground-breaking work Keith Dowman brings the guru-myths and the means of invoking Guru Pema together with an analysis provides immediate contemporary meaning.Some readers will consider the mythic truths revealed in the lives of Guru Rimpoche described in the Zanglingma, a treasure-text of Nyangrel Nyima Wozer, as the core of the book. Others will look at The Seven Line Prayer as the essence because Mipham Namgyel's commentary provides the secret means to personal attainment of union with Guru Rimpoche. In a similar way that Mipham elucidates the hidden meanings of The Seven Line Prayer, exposing the treasures that have lain hidden in a common prayer that everyone knows and hitherto has taken at face value, so the extensive introduction written in Keith Dowman's inimitable style and perspective, brings Padmasambhava into the twenty-first century and actually verbalizes what we have hitherto only surmized. The guru-myths are presented as code describing the manner in which Guru Pema's enlightenment works for us and how his activity works for the sake of others. The stories of the Guru's life are thus paradigmatic, exemplary models, to be emulated by his yogin-followers and a source of inspiration and faith for his devotees. At the same time the narrative of the Zanglingma describes the events in Padmasambhava's life that comprise the early history of Buddhist Tibet but this is secondary to the main theme - an exposition of Dzogchen vision, meditation and action. The book is illustrated by reproductions of the Eighth Khamtrul Rinpoche's exceptional blockprints of the 'Eight Names of the Guru', extensive appendixes provide historical background, and glossaries and an annotated index serves instead of notes. Keith Dowman is now dedicated to the teaching and translation of Dzogchen. In the 'sixties, however, as a genyen practitioner training under his principle teachers, Dudjom Rimpoche and Kanjur Rinpoche. In that sadhana the mythology of Guru Pema provided the inspiration and The Seven Line Prayer a skilful means to attainment of union with the Guru. This work is an acknowledgement of the importance of that early training.The original texts are unchanging; the interpretation changes according to the needs of the times and individuals. Keith Dowman's translations are true to the Tibetan while his commentary seems to fit the moment. Bhakha Tulku Pema Rigdzin. The Precious Guru, the Lotus Born, rests at the vital heart of Tibetan Buddhism. Renowned translator Keith Dowman, in his uniquely fluid style, has gathered here a superb collection of key texts presenting the legends and inner significance of the Great Guru. For beginners, an exceptional introduction, and for the old hands who realize that they are still and will always be beginners, a volume to savor. Matthew Kapstein, Directeur d'études, Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes; Numata Visiting Professor of Buddhist Studies, The University of Chicago."Keith Dowman, one of our treasured lotsawas, has prepared for us another feast of wisdom and delight with this beautiful version of the wondrous story of Guru Rinpoche, the buddha-emanation always ready to help us in our present age of degeneracy. I love this work, and heartily recommend it for everyone who loves life, loves Tibet, wants to share its culture to benefit all sensitive beings, and persists in the undying hope that things must work out well for all of us on this little planet lost in space among the stars. Bob Thurman, author, activist President of Tibet House US.

English | ISBN: 1501336142 | 2020 | 368 pages | PDF | 20 MB
Ephraim Moses Lilien (1874-1925) was one of the most important Jewish artists of modern times. As a successful illustrator, photographer, painter and printer, he became the first major Zionist artist. Surprisingly there has been little in-depth scholarly research and analysis of Lilien's work available in English, making this book an important contribution to historical and art-historical scholarship.

Gender and Politics in Post–Reformasi Indonesia Women Leaders within Local Oligarchy Networks
Free Download Kurniawati Hastuti Dewi, "Gender and Politics in Post-Reformasi Indonesia: Women Leaders within Local Oligarchy Networks"
English | 2022 | ISBN: 9811917337, 9811917361 | PDF | pages: 169 | 4.7 mb
This book employs a gendered perspective to uncover an in-depth understanding of the political role of women leaders in local government in Indonesia. Beginning with the story of two women who successfully won the local elections in Indramayu in 2010 and Tangerang Selatan in 2011, respectively, the book uses their experiences as a point of departure to present a discussion on female political leaders' part within the larger political dynastic structure in Indonesia. The book explores the multiple challenges and difficulties that these women encountered in reaching power and in promoting local democracy, highlighting the patriarchal nature of the oligarchy. In doing so, this book provides a rich empirical account of the current features of female political leaders and their political and familial, linkages. The research, thus, contributes significantly to the work of scholars and political activists seeking to unpack the process and progress of democratization in post-reformasiIndonesia, in which women's political participation and leadership are an inevitable and vital part. In doing so, the book champions how Indonesian women are playing an increasingly important role in the democratic process, even in the face of the enduring challenges posed by familial ties and political dynasty factors that continue to hinder democratization―trends that are also prevalent across multiple Southeast Asian countries in the twenty-firstcentury. Relevant to scholars and students situated at the intersection of gender and politics, this translated and updated co-publication is atour de force, led by one of Indonesia's seminal scholars in women's studies.

From Afro–Cuban Rhythms to Latin Jazz
Free Download Raul A. Fernandez, "From Afro-Cuban Rhythms to Latin Jazz"
English | 2006 | ISBN: 0520247086, 0520247078 | PDF | pages: 216 | 1.0 mb
This book explores the complexity of Cuban dance music and the webs that connect it, musically and historically, to other Caribbean music, to salsa, and to Latin Jazz. Establishing a scholarly foundation for the study of this music, Raul A. Fernandez introduces a set of terms, definitions, and empirical information that allow for a broader, more informed discussion. He presents fascinating musical biographies of prominent performers Cachao López, Mongo Santamaría, Armando Peraza, Patato Valdés, Francisco Aguabella, Cándido Camero, Chocolate Armenteros, and Celia Cruz. Based on interviews that the author conducted over a nine-year period, these profiles provide in-depth assessments of the musicians' substantial contributions to both Afro-Cuban music and Latin Jazz. In addition, Fernandez examines the links between Cuban music and other Caribbean musics; analyzes the musical and poetic foundations of the Cuban son form; addresses the salsa phenomenon; and develops the aesthetic construct of sabor, central to Cuban music.
