A Change of Habit: Leaving Behind My Husband, Career, and Everything I Owned to Become a Nun by Sister Monica Clare
English | April 29th, 2025 | ISBN: 0593727118 | 336 pages | True EPUB | 17.72 MB
The soulful, hilarious memoir of a chronic people pleaser who surprised everyone in her life by abandoning an unfulfilling career and marriage to join a convent-and learned how much we stand to gain when we fully embrace our authentic selves

In her twenties and thirties, Monica Clare was a talented but exhausted photo editor who spent her days getting yelled at by clients who were often strung out on cocaine and megalomania. For years, the voice calling her to a simpler, quieter life had been getting louder. As a little kid, she'd seen Audrey Hepburn in The Nun's Story and thought: That's me. That's how she found herself straightening her habit nervously as she walked into a convent, preparing to live alongside eleven other sisters who'd taken the same vow of poverty and celibacy . . . indefinitely. Could a chronically fidgety, pop culture-obsessed woman of the world ever fit in? she wondered. And why did the other nuns seem so cold and disapproving?
As the months went on, she realized the other nuns were shy, not unfriendly-much like herself. The culture at the convent discouraged giving compliments or even saying "please" or "thank you," since acts of generosity were to be freely given and received. But when Monica rose to the role of Sister Superior, she got the policy against compliments changed. Relationships started to blossom, first awkwardly and then more easily. Who would have predicted that Sister Christina, the one she thought had deeply disliked her from the start, would turn out to be a huge hugger? Or that they'd spend entire afternoons trying to keep a wild turkey from running amok in their community garden?
Equal parts tell-all and rallying cry, A Change of Habit reveals how much we can say yes to when we stop laboring to prove our worth to ourselves and others. In her role as a spiritual counselor, Sister Monica guides people from all walks of life toward resisting the false promises of capitalism, finding healing in small acts of nurture and connection, and ultimately, restoring themselves to a place of wholeness, all while living in this gorgeously messy world of ours.

A Companion to Political Institutions in Poland, 1944-1989
by Marek Jablonowski, Wojciech Jakubowski
English | 2025 | ISBN: 3506796739 | 395 Pages | PDF | 11.7 MB

This book presents to researchers and advanced students the essential knowledge about Polish political institutions when the country was a socialist "people's democracy" between 1944 and 1989. The focus is on organized and individual political actors, state bodies, parties, and socio-political movements. There are also chapters on the formalized legal framework that defined the forms of possible political activity and the specific political goals connected to them. The book brings together valuable material that has so far remained outside the mainstream of research and will contribute, especially among the researchers of English-speaking countries, to a better understanding of the latest history of Poland.

Aarif Abraham, "A Constitution of the People and How to Achieve It: What Bosnia and Britain Can Learn From Each Other"
English | 2021 | ISBN: 3838215168 | PDF | pages: 376 | 2.2 mb
Britain does not have a written constitution. It has rather, over centuries, developed a set of miscellaneous conventions, rules, and norms that govern political behavior. By contrast, Bosnia's constitution was written, quite literally, overnight in a military hanger in Dayton, USA, to conclude a devastating war. By most standards it does not work and is seen to have merely frozen a conflict and all development with it. What might these seemingly unrelated countries be able to teach each other? Britain, racked by recent crises from Brexit to national separatism, may be able to avert long-term political conflict by understanding the pitfalls of writing rigid constitutional rules without popular participation or the cultivation of good political culture. Bosnia, in turn, may be able to thaw its frozen conflict by subjecting parts of its written constitution to amendment, with civic involvement, on a fixed and regular basis; a 'revolving constitution' to replicate some of that flexibility inherent in the British system. A book not just about Bosnia and Britain; a standard may be set for other plural, multi-ethnic polities to follow.

A Contribution to Friction in Timber Connections
Simon Aurand
English | 2025 | ISBN: 9783731513995 | 306 Pages | PDF | 182 MB

Timber connections with inclined screws are state-of-the-art and widely used. Due to their inclination regarding the shear plane, inclined screws are practically only loaded in tension. The load-carrying capacity of connections with inclined screws can be increased because of friction in the shear plane. This work investigates surface modifications to increase the friction between connecting parts. Friction tests with the manufactured surfaces and softwood showed increased friction coefficients compared to untreated surfaces. Tests with connections with modified surfaces in the shear plane showed increased load-carrying capacities and stiffness values. An analytical model predicts the load-carrying capacity well for different surfaces and friction coefficients, screw lengths, and numbers. Overall, this work provides insights into the short-term and long-term behaviour of connections with inclined screws and increased friction in the shear plane.

A Cure for Chaos (The Illustrated Library of Chinese Classics) by Mencius
English | April 1st, 2025 | ISBN: 0691179816 | 129 pages | True PDF | 27.03 MB
From bestselling cartoonist C. C. Tsai, a delightful graphic version of the stories and teachings of the important Chinese philosopher Mencius

C. C. Tsai is one of Asia's most popular cartoonists, and his graphic editions of the Chinese classics have sold more than 40 million copies in over twenty languages. In A Cure for Chaos, he uses his virtuosic artistic skill and sly humor to create an entertaining and enlightening illustrated version of key selections from the Mencius, a profoundly influential work of Chinese philosophy.
You cannot understand Chinese philosophy without understanding Mencius (fourth century BCE), who is known as the Second Sage, after Confucius, and whose ideas were for many centuries part of the standard Confucian curriculum. A Cure for Chaos is a playful and accessible comic that brings alive the clever stories and thought experiments that Mencius uses to convey his ideas. Through conversations with potentates and colorful episodes involving tigers, chicken thieves, and bear paws, this vivid graphic narrative shows Mencius arguing for a government that puts the people first, for morality over fame or fortune, and for the need of each person to cultivate their innate goodness-all of which is a prescription to cure chaos in the world.
Translated and introduced by Tsai's longtime collaborator Brian Bruya, a philosopher and scholar of ancient Chinese thought, A Cure for Chaos also features the original Chinese text on the margins of each page, enriching the book for readers and students of Chinese without distracting from the English-language cartoons.
Filled with unforgettable stories and shrewd insights, A Cure for Chaos is a marvelous and inviting edition of a timeless classic.

A Hermeneutical Investigation of Super-Primary Meaning in the Dvaita Vedānta of Madhva
by Ivan D'Souza
English | 2021 | ISBN: 1527573028 | 297 Pages | PDF | 3.2 MB

This work is an in-depth study on the philosophy of Madhva, the Dvaita Vedānta. The Dvaita tradition, which chronologically comes after Advaita and Viśiṣṭādvaita, is one of the great Vedāntic schools. Madhva was a Hindu philosopher of the 12th century belonging to the Vaiṣṇava tradition, and emphatically established that Viṣṇu alone is the focal point of entire Vedic writings by employing an unparalleled hermeneutical technique known as "parama-mukhya-vṛtti" (the super-primary meaning) in all his writings. This study unearths this singular concept with the help of Madhva's commentaries and related Dvaita literature. The book explores Madhva's method of hermeneutics and exegetical patterns. It focuses on the first chapter of Brahmasūtras and Madhva's application of parama-mukhya-vṛtti. It further discusses the hermeneutical issues in some commentaries and independent works of Madhva. The work suggests steps to apply parama-mukhya-vṛtti to different religious texts, taking into account many Western continental thinkers who strike a chord with the thinking of Madhva. It employs an exegetico-interpretative method, and approaches Madhva's original writings, particularly the notion of parama-mukhya-vṛtti, through exegesis, showing its relevance through interpretation. This research will open up wide horizons by providing a new methodology to interpret the sacred texts of any religious traditions. It will also contribute to Madhva scholarship by stimulating scholarly exchanges, discussions and deliberations. Moreover, it will facilitate inter-religious dialogue and understanding, particularly in the multi-religious context of India.

A History of Displaced Knowledge: Austrian Refugees from National Socialism in Australia
by Philipp Strobl
English | 2025 | ISBN: 9004714928 | 423 Pages | True PDF | 55 MB

This book follows ideas and knowledge that migrated in the cultural baggage of Austrian refugees, who fled to Australia in 1938 and 1939 because of National Socialism. By telling and comparing the stories of twenty-six different lives, it highlights the processes of acquisition, transportation, translation, and adaption of ideas, knowledge, and cultural capital. This provides a unique and colourful insight into the impact of a group of refugees on their host society over several decades.
As the book shows, there were many different ways in which displaced people relied upon their social and cultural capital to first escape their oppressive homeland and then build new lives. Once they had arrived in Australia, they used very different approaches to negotiate and promote their knowledge and to exercise agency.

A Lamp unto Yourself: A Beginner's Guide to Asian Spiritual Practices, from Advaita and Buddhism to Yoga and Zen by C. Pierce Salguero
English | April 22nd, 2025 | ISBN: 0807020397 | 216 pages | True EPUB | 0.82 MB
For "spiritual explorers" ready to travel beyond Western bounds, a beginner's guide to Asian spiritual traditions spanning regions, cultures, and history

Asian spiritual practices, from yoga and tai chi to qigong and mindfulness meditations, permeate our culture. But these practices are often casually used in the West, and sometimes little understood. As informative as it is inviting, A Lamp unto Yourself introduces "spiritual explorers" of all experience levels to embodied Eastern spiritual practices.
Employing decades of personal and professional experience with Asian spiritualities, C. Pierce Salguero explains the origins of key Asian spiritual practices. He grounds them in their historical and philosophical contexts and provides information on how the reader can begin and deepen their personal practices. Salguero also discusses the focus of the path (heart, body, or perception) and describes what one might experience as they develop their practice. In A Lamp unto Yourself, readers will learn more about such traditions as
* mindfulness meditation, insight meditation, and loving-kindness meditation
* yogas, tai chi, and qigong
* Taoism and Advaita
* mantras, chakras, and tantra
Those looking to begin practicing for the first time or to simply expand their ever-growing spiritual tool kits will feel empowered to explore Eastern spirituality with knowledge and autonomy. With Salguero as their guide, readers can confidently embark on their journeys to becoming, as Buddha would encourage, a lamp unto themselves.

A Life Less Extraordinary: My Journey through Politics, Passion, and Purpose
by Lav Bhargava
English | 2025 | ISBN: 9366115535 | 264 Pages | True ePUB | 3.47 MB

In this candid memoir, Lav Bhargava embarks on a self-reflective journey, sharing heartfelt anecdotes that blend humour with insightful introspection. Rather than a recounting of triumphs or regrets, the narrative focuses on the people and moments that shaped a life well-lived.
The author muses on life's deeper truths, touching on the subtle workings of karmic destiny and the limitations of human control. With warmth and honesty, the memoir traces the gradual arc towards contentment, highlighting the lessons learnt along the way.
Far from a conventional tale of success, this is a story of personal evolution―embracing flaws, unexpected teachings, and the wisdom that emerges over time. It is a testament to the enduring commitment to authenticity and the peace found in simply being oneself.
At a pivotal moment in his seventies, Lav Bhargava reflects on the many roles he has played―politician, actor, social activist, husband, father―offering an honest self-appraisal shaped by decades of public service and personal growth. This is his memoir.

A Little History of Mathematics
by Snezana Lawrence
English | 2025 | ISBN: 0300273738 | 302 Pages | PDF | 14.3 MB

A lively, accessible history of mathematics throughout the ages and across the globe
Mathematics is fundamental to our daily lives. Science, computing, economics-all aspects of modern life rely on some kind of maths. But how did our ancestors think about numbers? How did they use mathematics to explain and understand the world around them? Where do numbers even come from?
In this Little History, Snezana Lawrence traces the fascinating history of mathematics, from the Egyptians and Babylonians to Renaissance masters and enigma codebreakers. Like literature, music, or philosophy, mathematics has a rich history of breakthroughs, creativity and experimentation. And its story is a global one. We see Chinese Mathematical Art from 200 BCE, the invention of algebra in Baghdad's House of Wisdom, and sangaku geometrical theorems at Japanese shrines. Lawrence goes beyond the familiar names of Newton and Pascal, exploring the prominent role women have played in the history of maths, including Emmy Noether and Maryam Mirzakhani.

A Living: Working-Class Americans Talk to Their Doctor
by Michael D. Stein
English | 2025 | ISBN: 168589190X | 224 Pages | True ePUB | 0.71 MB

From a leading public health expert and physician, and in the style of Studs Terkel's Working, comes an eye-opening look at what it's like to have to work physically hard for your money in America . . .
A Living is a vivid portrait of the working lives of the patients who visit Dr. Michael Stein, a primary care doctor in urban America. What makes his patients unique is that they, by and large, do demanding manual labor. Very few have the luxury of working remotely, or seated.
Inspired by Studs Terkel's classic Working, Stein produces an eye-opening look at what it's like to have to work long hours at physical jobs for a paycheck in America. A Living is composed of vignettes, snap shots of people's working lives, the dramas, disappointments and frustrations workers have with their colleagues, family co-workers, and supervisors.
And yet it also captures the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction, the opportunities for initiative and self-expression that come from doing intricate work with one's hands. Work gives Stein's patients a sense of identity and a social environment to thrive in.
Ultimately, A Living is an extraordinarily powerful and poetic tableaux of working-class America at this moment when manual labor may be the final refuge in the new era of AI.

A Marxist Critique of the Ruined University
by Krystian Szadkowski and Jakub Krzeski
English | 2025 | ISBN: 9819651182 | 192 Pages | True ePUB | 0.4 MB

This book revitalizes the Marxian concept of critique for research into the transformation of universities. It consists of a set of comprehensive and interconnected theoretical tools, starting from the reflection on the political ontology of higher education, through the critique of political economy of the sector to the analysis of activist struggles within the universities, and back to the ontological concept of the common - a foundation for the university alternative design. The tools offered and discussed in context throughout the book allow for a productive use in overcoming the current crisis of the university, as well as to avoid the pitfalls present in contemporary debates around it. Unlike the dominant discussions on the university in crisis, the authors argue that to grasp its nature, one has to reach more profound than the level of appearances such as marketization and commodification.
Szadkowski and Krzeski offer a compelling reappraisal of critique as a mechanism to liberate intellectual work. By linking critique to how knowledge is structured and commodified, they help us transcend reductionist narratives of a crisis-ridden University. Prioritising ontological renewal, they embrace the political and the common, enriching our collective ways of knowing the world as a movement. Pivoting around academic and student protests in Poland, the book enables us to imagine spaces and times of critical hope that resist the capitalist subjugation of intellectual activity to knowledge production.
