This luxurious hardback presents The Book of Five Rings, a classic Japanese text by the undefeated swordsman Miyamoto Musashi, with gold embossing and gilded page edges. Shortly before his death in 1645, Musashi retreated to a cave to live as a hermit. There he wrote five scrolls describing the "true principles" required for victory in the martial arts and on the battlefield. Instead of relying on religion or theory, Musashi based his writings on his own experience, observation, and reason. The scrolls, published as The Book of Five Rings, have recently gained an international reputation in the business world as a means of resolving differences and achieving success. But their delineation of the psychological strength, rigorous self-control, and practical application necessary for dealing with physical and mental conflict also has a wider relevance and can be usefully applied to all our lives. This compact luxury edition with gold-foil embossing is perfect as a gift. ABOUT THE SERIES: Arcturus Ornate Classics are beautifully bound gifts editions of iconic literary works across history. These compact, foil-embossed hardbacks are richly illustrated and printed using deluxe ivory paper.

In this frank and damning exposé of the Teresa cult, Hitchens details the nature and limits of one woman's mission to help the world's poor. He probes the source of the heroic status bestowed upon an Albanian nun whose only declared wish was to serve God. He asks whether Mother Teresa's good works answered any higher purpose than the need of the world's privileged to see someone, somewhere, doing something for the Third World. He unmasks pseudo-miracles, questions Mother Teresa's fitness to adjudicate on matters of sex and reproduction, and reports on a version of saintly ubiquity which affords genial relations with dictators, corrupt tycoons and convicted frauds. Is Mother Teresa merely an essential salve to the conscience of the rich West, or an expert PR machine for the Catholic Church? In its caustic iconoclasm and unsparing wit, The Missionary Position showcases the devastating effect of Hitchens' writing at its polemical best.

The provocative bestseller from Britain's foremost controversial thinker is now in paperback: 'If Hitchens didn't exist, we wouldn't be able to invent him.' Ian McEwan

Each of us develops and enacts strategies for living our everyday lives. These may confirm the general tendency towards new forms of connected solitude, in which we work, travel and live alone, yet feel sociable mainly by means of technology. Alternatively, they may help to create flexible communities that are open and inclusive, and therefore resilient and socially sustainable. In Politics of the Everyday, Ezio Manzini discusses examples of social innovation that show how, even in these difficult times, a better kind of society is possible. By bringing autonomy and collaboration together, it is possible to develop new forms of design intelligence, for our own good, for the good of the communities we are part of, and for society as a whole.

Nobelpristager Giorgio Parisi fortæller personligt og passioneret om et liv i naturvidenskabens fascinerende verden og sin livslange interesse for komplekse systemer, fra faseovergange og spinglasser til stæreflokke. Han reflekterer over, hvordan idéer fødes og ændrer kurs og form, over videnskabens rolle i nutidens samfund, og hvordan matematisk intuition kan lede til svar på spørgsmål, ingen endnu har stillet.Om forfatteren:Giorgio Parisi (f. 1948) er professor i teoretisk fysik ved universitetet i Rom.

Peter Høeg er tilbage med en charmerende og begavet spændingsroman om fysikeren Susan Svendsen og hendes højst usædvanlige talent.Susan er 43 år, lektor i eksperimentalfysik, veltrimmet vinterbader, gift med Laban og mor til teenage-tvillingerne Harald og Thit. Hun finder ro i det periodiske system og ser naturlovene som en garanti for orden og regelmæssighed. Men Susan er selv et særtilfælde: Hun har en helt forbløffende evne til at fremkalde oprigtighed. Mennesker betror sig ganske spontant til hende.Dette talent har hun misbrugt, og nu truer en lang fængselstraf. En tidligere embedsmand tilbyder hende en sidste udvej, men kun på én betingelse: Hun skal opspore det sidste overlevende medlem i den såkaldte Fremtidskommision fra 1970’erne og afsløre, hvad der stod i referatet af deres sidste møde. Det er hemmeligheder med vidtrækkende konsekvenser, og nogen kommer Susan brutalt i forkøbet.Effekten af Susan er en eventyrlig og hæsblæsende roman om oprigtighed – i familien, i videnskaben og i samfundslivet.Pressen skriver: »… først og sidst er Peter Høeg sin egen og i topform. Susan Svendsen […] er skabt af sprog, som funkler. Netop den sproglige virtuositet udgør halvdelen af nydelsen i denne toptunende og ferme femi- og klimathriller.«***** - Jes Stein Pedersen, Politiken »Hvis De kun skal læse én apokalyptisk videnskabs-thriller i år, så lad det blive ”Effekten af Susan.«***** - David Jacobsen Turner, Jyllands-Posten »En glimrende tur i Høeget … Han er ikke for fin til at bruge lavkomik eller filmiske thrillergreb, når han fortæller historien om Susan - og det virker.«***** - Line Rasmussen, Børsen »Peter Høeg er aktuel med romanen "Effekten af Susan", hvis hovedperson bringer tankerne hen på en vis frøken Smilla. Det er ikke tit, Høeg barsler med en ny roman, men denne har været værd at vente på.«***** - Kultunaut»Hvorfor nøjes med litterære gråspurve, der pikker lidt i borgernes tagrender, når der findes en frit flyvende høg, for hvem ingen regler blokerer for en regulær lemlæstelse af byttet! Nej, vel, så her får man muligheden. Peter Høeg er på banen igen, mere oplagt end længe, og med en roman, der både er thriller, samfundsrevser og eksistentielt provokerende; og så er den vidunderligt morsom.«****** - Preben Rasmussen, Dagbladenes Bureau »Peter Høeg er tilbage med en thriller om kvantefysik, og hvordan elitens svigt af masserne allerede er virkelighed … Romanen er et centrifugalaccelereret cirkelspark i borgerskabets moderne pudderparyk. Og det kan de så hygge sig med oppe på Business Class. I mellemtiden kan vi andre læsebogens dybere litterære kvaliteter frem.«– Kristian Ditlev Jensen, Weekendavisen»Peter Høeg er tilbage på toppen … Man er simpelthen skamløst godt underholdt fra første til sidste side.«- Nils Gunder Hansen, Kristeligt Dagblad »Høeg er en gudbenådet fortæller, der her igen har skrevet en bog, man sluger råt fra start til slut. «***** - Alt for damerne

In this remarkable book, Salvadore Poe guides you step by step to awakening. There are numerous books that talk about spiritual awakening and enlightenment. And while reading any of them, you may be inspired, and you may be impressed with the wisdom of the author, but you don't awaken. You just add more concepts and beliefs to your mind about what enlightenment is, and this keeps you seeking for answers and resolution.Liberation IS, The End of the Spiritual Path is different. It is intended as a final push for those who are ready to be finished seeking. Through inquiries and experiments, you are guided to recognize your free essential being, and what is revealed in that recognition is that you are whole and complete, lacking nothing, exactly as you are now. When this is clearly seen and becomes doubtless, seeking ends naturally, by itself.

Sebastião Salgados Fotobuch-Klassiker Arbeiter. Zur Archäologie des Industriezeitalters (Erstausgabe 1993) würdigt die traditionellen handwerklichen Arbeitsweisen, während zu Beginn des neuen Jahrtausends überall in der Welt Maschinen und Computer die Arbeit der Menschen übernehmen. Mit Bildern von beeindruckender Schönheit hat Salgado eine visuelle Elegie komponiert, mit der er jene Männer und Frauen ehrt, die sich ihren unbeugsamen Geist und ihre Würde selbst unter härtesten Arbeitsbedingungen bewahren. Mehr als bei jedem anderen lebenden Fotografen sind bei Sebastião Salgado die Bilder von den Vergessenen, den Elenden und den Ausgegrenzten der Welt eine Hommage an die conditio humana. Salgado definiert seine Arbeit als "kämpferische Fotografie", die dem "besseren Verständnis des Menschseins" gewidmet ist. Über Jahrzehnte hinweg hat er in seinen Fotografien den Armen und Entrechteten etwas von der Menschenwürde zurückgegeben, die sie zu verlieren drohten - von den Hungernden in der Sahelzone bis zu den indigenen Völkern Südamerikas. Mit dem Band Arbeiter legt Salgado ein globales Bildepos vor, das über das bloße Abbilden hinausgeht und zu einer Hymne auf den Widerstandsgeist arbeitender Männer und Frauen wird. 350 Duoton-Fotografien eröffnen eine archäologische Perspektive auf diejenigen Tätigkeiten, die von der Steinzeit über die industrielle Revolution bis in unsere Gegenwart als Inbegriff harter Arbeit gelten. Mit Bildern aus dem Inferno einer indonesischen Schwefelmine, von der Dramatik des traditionellen sizilianischen Thunfischfangs und der schwindelerregenden Ausdauer brasilianischer Goldgräber legt Salgado Schichten visueller Informationen frei, um die unermüdliche menschliche Arbeit als Kern der modernen Zivilisation zu enthüllen. Arbeiter präsentiert sein Thema auf mehreren sich gegenseitig durchdringenden Ebenen: Salgados einleitender Text, entstanden in Zusammenarbeit mit dem brasilianischen Schriftsteller Eric Nepomuceno, erläutert seine leidenschaftliche fotografische Ikonografie. Ausführliche Bildunterschriften, die ebenfalls von Salgado stammen, liefern den historischen und faktischen Hintergrund. Das Buch ist eine von Offenheit und Respekt getragene Hommage an diejenigen Menschen, die mit ihren eigenen Händen, mit der Kraft ihres eigenen Körpers arbeiten.

"In How to Listen, Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh demonstrates how deep listening is a fundamental building block of good communication. But perhaps more fundamentally, listening is central to our practice, a basic ingredient to strengthen our capacity for mindfulness, concentration, insight, and compassion. Learning how to listen with equanimity to life itself, we generate insight into the true nature of our deep connection to all things. And from this place of understanding -- when we know that we aren't separate -- our capacity to listen deepens even further. With clear and gentle guidance from Thich Nhat Hanh, we learn how truly listening -- to ourselves, to each other, to Mother Earth, and to the many 'bells of mindfulness' that are available to us in each moment -- is the foundation of our practice, an expression of love, and a solution to our deepest and most urgent large-scale conflicts"--

This book gets to the heart of trophy hunting, unpacking and explaining its multiple facets and controversies, and exploring why it divides environmentalists, the hunting community, and the public. Bichel and Hart provide the first interdisciplinary and comprehensive approach to the study of trophy hunting, investigating the history of trophy hunting, and delving into the background, identity and motivation of trophy hunters. They also explore the role of social media and anthropomorphism in shaping trophy hunting discourse, as well as the viability of trophy hunting as a wildlife management tool, the ideals of fair chase and sportsmanship, and what hunting trophies are, both literally and in terms of their symbolic value to hunters and non-hunters. The analyses and discussions are underpinned by a consideration of the complex moral and practical conflicts between animal rights and conservation paradigms. This book appeals to scholars in environmental philosophy, conservation and environmental studies, as well as hunters, hunting opponents, wildlife management practitioners, and policymakers, and anyone with a broad interest in human¿wildlife relations.

ONE OF THE CENTRAL WORKS OF AMERICAN POETRY First published in 1855, this poetry collection by American poet, Walt Whitman is a celebration of his philosophy of life and humanity, and spans the human element from the perspective of both the mind and the body. Instead of focusing on religion or spirituality, Leaves of Grass focuses mainly on celebrating the body, exalting nature, praising the senses, and the material world. He was greatly influenced by Ralph Waldo Emerson and the Transcendentalist movement. The writing, which was highly controversial and condemned as immoral due to its explicit sexual imagery, is with the exception of one poem, an innovative free style verse which does not rhyme or follow the standard rules for meter and line length. This collection of loosely-connected poems was a work in progress through over four decades. When Whitman published the first edition of Leaves of Grass at his own expense, it was a volume of only twelve poems. He spent most of his life writing and rewriting the book until at the end, after four decades, he published the final version containing over 400 poems only weeks before he died in 1892. In what is regarded by many scholars, to be a completely "do-it-yourself" project, the collection has infiltrated popular culture and is recognized today as one of the central works of American poetry. Many movements have used Whitman's work throughout the years as a means to further social and political change.

The Quest for Happiness Is a Universal Fact.

"In his New York Times bestselling book, Discipline Is Destiny, Ryan Holiday made the Stoic case for a life of self-discipline. In this much-anticipated third installment in the Stoic Virtues series, he argues for the necessity of doing what's right - even when it isn't easy For the ancients, everything worth pursuing in life flowed from a strong sense of justice-or one's commitment to doing the right thing, no matter how difficult. In order to be courageous, wise, and self-disciplined, one must begin with justice. The influence of the modern world often tells us that acting justly is optional. Holiday argues that that's simply untrue-and the fact that so few people today have the strength to stand by their convictions explains much about why we're so unhappy. In Right Thing. Right Now., Holiday draws on fascinating stories of historical figures such as Marcus Aurelius, Florence Nightingale, Jimmy Carter, Gandhi, and Frederick Douglass, whose examples of kindness, honesty, integrity, and loyalty we can emulate as pillars of upright living. Through the lives of these role models, readers learn the transformational power of living by a moral code and, through the cautionary tales of unjust leaders, the consequences of an ill-formed conscience. The Stoics never claimed that living justly was easy, only that it was necessary. And that the alternative-sacrificing our principles for something lesser-was considered only by cowards and fools. Right Thing. Right Now. is a powerful antidote to the moral failures of our modern age, and a manual for living virtuously"--

Charles Taylor delves into the poetry of the Romantics and their heirs, a foundation of his distinctive philosophy of language. Taylor holds that Romantic poetry responded to disenchantment: with old cosmic orders depleted, artists groped to articulate new meanings by bringing connections to life rather than merely reasoning abstractly about life.
