With wit and irony, Khyentse urges readers to move beyond the superficial trappings of Buddhism-beyond the romance with beads, incense, or exotic robes-straight to the heart of what the Buddha taught. And after he explains what makes you not a Buddhist, he kindly explains what a Buddhist is. The author is one of the most creative and innovative young Tibetan lamas teaching today.

When you run, your shadow runs. But you can never catch it!What makes a shadow? Where does it come from? When the sun is shining, everything has its own shadow — trees, houses, cars, even clouds and planes way up in the sky. You have a shadow, too. As the sun sets, all shadows become part of a much larger one — the night! With simple words and charming illustrations, Clyde Robert Bulla and June Otani explain how shadows are produced. Young readers will discover what makes the shadows they see and will be introduced to the fun of making shadows of their own.

Our attachment to ancient Mesopotamia (Iraq) and Egypt as the `birthplace of civilization`, where the foundations of our own societies were laid, is as strong today as it has ever been. When the Iraq Museum in Baghdad was looted in 2003, our newspapers proclaimed `the death of history`. Yet the ancient Near East also remains a source of mystery: a space of the imagination where we explore the discontents of modern civilization. In What Makes Civilization? archaeologist David Wengrow investigates the origins of farming, writing, and cities in Egypt and Mesopotamia, and the connections between them. This is the story of how people first created kingdoms and monuments to the gods – and, just as importantly, how they adopted everyday practices that we might now take for granted, such as familiar ways of cooking food and keeping the house and body clean. Why, he asks, have these ancient cultures, where so many features of modern life originated, come to symbolize the remote and the exotic? What challenge do they pose to our assumptions about power, progress, and civilization in human history? And are the sacrifices we now make in the name of `our` civilization really so different from those once made by the peoples of Mesopotamia and Egypt on the altars of the gods?

Using an innovative approach, Rob Kapilow in his refreshing trademark presents the history of music from Bach and Vivaldi to Debussy by focusing on short pieces by the major composers. The book operates on two levels, using each short piece of music as a way of grasping the essence of each composer`s genius while also focusing on the way each piece transformed the musical language of its time, making something normally forbidding and difficult — the history of music — utterly manageable and easy to grasp. For example, for Vivaldi he considers one movement of the Four Seasons, for Handel the Hornpipe for The Water Music, for Mozart an aria from The Marriage of Figaro, for Chopin a mazurka, for Wagner the Tristan and Isolde prelude, for Puccini an aria from Madama Butterfly, and so on.The book opens with an introductory chapter explaining what Kapilow is up to, what the reader will gain from it, and an overview of what is to come, creating a context for the book. Additionally, in the chapters on the composers, he discusses important topics that widen the focus at key moments and further develop the evolving story of the history of music.Readers can hear and see all of the short works on the book`s website so by the end they will have taken a unique, accessible, tour-in-microcosm through the history of music with all the mustiness removed.

Renowned archaeologist David Wengrow creates here a vivid new account of the "birth of civilization" in ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, bringing together within a unified history the first two nations where people created cities, kingdoms, and monumental temples to the gods. But civilization, Wengrow argues, is not exclusively about large-scale settlements and endeavors. Just as important are the ordinary but fundamental practices of everyday life, such as cooking, running a home, and cleaning the body. Tracing the development of such practices, from prehistoric times to the age of the pyramids, Wengrow reveals unsuspected connections between distant regions and provides new insights into the workings of societies we have come to regard as remote from our own. The book obliges us to recognize that civilizations are not formed in isolation, but through the mixing and borrowing of culture between different societies. It concludes by drawing telling parallels between the ancient Near East and more contemporary attempts to reshape the world according to an ideal image.

What Makes Sammy Run?Everyone of us knows someone who runs. He is one of the symp-toms of our times—from the little man who shoves you out of the way on the street to the go-getter who shoves you out of a job in the office to the Fuehrer who shoves you out of the world. And all of us have stopped to wonder, at some time or another, what it is that makes these people tick. What makes them run?This is the question Schulberg has asked himself, and the answer is the first novel written with the indignation that only a young writer with talent and ideals could concentrate into a manuscript. It is the story of Sammy Glick, the man with a positive genius for being a heel, who runs through New York’s East Side, through newspaper ranks and finally through Hollywood, leaving in his wake the wrecked careers of his associates; for this is his tragedy and his chief characteristic—his congenital incapacity for friendship.An older and more experienced novelist might have tempered his story and, in so doing, destroyed one of its outstanding qualities. Compromise would mar the portrait of Sammy Glick. Schulberg has etched it in pure vitriol, and dissected his victim with a precision that is almost frightening.When a fragment of this book appeared as a short story in a national magazine, Schulberg was surprised at the number of letters he received from people convinced they knew Sammy Glick’s real name. But speculation as to his real identity would be utterly fruitless, for Sammy is a composite picture of a loud and spectacular minority bitterly resented by the many decent and sincere artists who are trying honestly to realize the measureless potentialities of motion pictures. To this group belongs Schulberg himself, who has not only worked as a screen writer since his graduation from Dartmouth College in 1936, but has spent his life, literally, in the heart of the motion-picture colony. In the course of finding out what makes S

What Makes Business Rock is a business book masquerading as the memoir of one of the most important people in the music industry. In a business environment increasingly dependent on global trade it will serve as a necessary primer on how to build and manage a business when the partners on whom you depend not only don`t even speak your language, many of them have never even run a business. Roedy`s business strategies have helped make MTV the most successful and best known media brand in the world. But what makes this an important business book is that MTV International has done it by following a very different strategy than any other multinational corporation. And it has worked because Bill Roedy learned that successfully building the world`s largest entertainment network in an environment of continually evolving and developing communications platforms, while dealing with the cultural demands of countries as diverse as Aruba and Zambia, China and Ireland, requires adhering strictly to one basic rule: There are no rules. Roedy will take readers with him as he builds his network and meets almost daily crisis around the world, from the tops of Mexican mountains to the tearing down of the Berlin Wall, from Snake Alley in Taiwan to a meal of Ox penis in China.
