The Ancient Meditation Technique that Brings Real Peace of Mind
Vipassand-bhavand, "the development of insight," embodies the essence of the teaching of the Buddha. As taught by S. N. Goenka, this path to self-awareness is extraordinary in its simplicity, its lack of dogma and, above all, its results. The Vipassana technique can be successfully applied by anyone.
Based on the lectures and writings of S. N. Goenka--and prepared under his direct guidance--The Art of Living shows how this technique can be used to solve problems, develop unused potential, and lead a peaceful, productive life. It includes stories by S. N. Goenka, as well as answers to students' questions, that convey a vivid sense of his teaching.
S. N. Goenka's Vipassana courses have attracted thousands of people of every background. Unique among teachers of meditation, Goenka is a retired industrialist and former leader of the Indian Community in Burma. Although a layman, his teaching has won the approval of senior Buddhist monks in Burma, India, and Sri Lanka, a number of whom have taken courses under his guidance. Despite his magnetism, he has no wish to be a "guru" --instead he teaches self-responsibility. This is the first systematic study of his teachings to appear in English.

"Today our nation saw evil." - President George W. Bush, September 11th 2001 Evil! Like a zombie back from the grave, it has arisen--a word many of us had long ago relegated to Sunday sermons, video games and horror flicks. But of course, evil is not old fashioned, nor has it ever gone away, and may be as robust as ever. So what is evil? Does it exist? Veteran journalist Bill Hart tries to drag evil out of the darkness and hold it up to the light. In doing so, he has written a very readable account of 5,000 years of philosophy, theology and human history as it reflects and refines its notion of evil. More than an explanation of why bad things happen, Evil: A Primer is a tour through the nether regions in search of what we really know.

William Hart satirizes the "war on terror" in his comic novel Operation Supergoose. When terrorists burn down Plunderland's national phallic symbol, superhero Lieutenant Ernest Candide is deployed to the Middle East. This patriot yearns to defend his beloved homeland, lifestyle and fiancée, yet fails in his mission to decapitate the master perp. Instead he seduces or is seduced by double agent Delilah Jihad. He also discovers the dark agenda driving the war. Revealing this to army debriefers earns him treason charges, torture in Guantanamo and trial for his life. Such low blows encourage Candide to think for himself-and a rebel is born! Yanking the lieutenant's chain are President Buzz Twofer II and his merry band of puppeteers: VP Chain Dickey, Defense Secretary Clayton Minefield, and National Security Advisor Parson Rupert Weed. When Candide defies them, it's his head they want.

Amid flat corn-striped landscapes Ohioans dream of distant lands - lands where mountains rise to kiss the sky, lands where seas fill lungs with salty air, and lands where majestic creatures roam and howl beneath star speckled skies. Winston Kelly dreams such dreams. To reach these far off places Winston is building an empire, the Ohio Empire, which will live on and on, forever. He is an odd child though and believes anything is possible. He believes in love, friendship, and even in dragons. Yes, dragons, but if you listen closely to the wrinkled stories he tells you just may believe too.
