Book excerpt: IRWIN AND THE AVATAR by IRWIN LUCK My True Story. I was a seeker of Truth. But what Truth? I wanted to know the Truth about everything. Is there anyone in this world who knows that? It would be like a man a million years from now coming back to our time. Could He tell us what his life was like? Or it would be like a man of today going back to cave man days. Could you tell Him what your life is like? Could he understand? Then one day I heard about the Avatar. Who is that? I read what He said as to who He is. I was impressed. I would have to meet Him. HE EXPLAINED: "I AM NOT THIS BODY THAT YOU SEE. I WEAR IT LIKE A COAT WHEN I COME DOWN AND VISIT YOU." "I HAVE COME DOWN FROM THE HIGHEST LEVEL IN ORDER TO BRING YOU UP TO MY LEVEL." "GOD-REALIZATION IS THE VERY GOAL OF ALL CREATION. ALL EARTHLY PLEASURE, HOWSOEVER GREAT, IS BUT A FLEETING SHADOW OF THE ETERNAL BLISS OF GOD-REALIZATION; ALL MUNDANE KNOWLEDGE, HOWSOEVER COMPREHENSIVE, IS BUT A DISTORTED REFLECTION OF THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH OF GOD-REALIZATION; ALL HUMAN MIGHT HOWSOEVER IMPOSING, IS BUT A FRAGMENT OF THE INFINITE POWER OF GOD-REALIZATION.""ALL THAT IS NOBLE, BEAUTIFUL AND LOVELY, ALL THAT IS GREAT AND GOOD AND INSPIRING IN THE UNIVERSE IS JUST AN INFINITESIMAL FRACTION OF THE UNFADING AND UNSPEAKABLE GLORY OF GOD-REALIZATION." "MY EXISTENCE IS FOR THIS LOVE AND TRUTH; AND TO SUFFERING HUMANITY I SAY:""HAVE HOPE.... I HAVE COME TO HELP YOU IN WINNING THE ONE VICTORY OF ALL VICTORIES....TO WIN YOURSELF." Now I was burning to meet this Avatar. I must see for myself if all that I heard was true.He said he came to liberate us from all illusion. I came to be liberated. We were meant for each other. This book tells what happened when I met Avatar Meher Baba.

Book excerpt: “Wholly original . . . the work of the newest major talent in fantasy.”—The Wall Street Journal “Freakishly compelling . . . through heart-thumping acts of violence and laugh-out-loud moments, this book practically dares you to keep reading.”—Atlanta Magazine A missing God. A library with the secrets to the universe. A woman too busy to notice her heart slipping away. Carolyn's not so different from the other people around her. She likes guacamole and cigarettes and steak. She knows how to use a phone. Clothes are a bit tricky, but everyone says nice things about her outfit with the Christmas sweater over the gold bicycle shorts. After all, she was a normal American herself once. That was a long time ago, of course. Before her parents died. Before she and the others were taken in by the man they called Father. In the years since then, Carolyn hasn't had a chance to get out much. Instead, she and her adopted siblings have been raised according to Father's ancient customs. They've studied the books in his Library and learned some of the secrets of his power. And sometimes, they've wondered if their cruel tutor might secretly be God. Now, Father is missing—perhaps even dead—and the Library that holds his secrets stands unguarded. And with it, control over all of creation. As Carolyn gathers the tools she needs for the battle to come, fierce competitors for this prize align against her, all of them with powers that far exceed her own. But Carolyn has accounted for this. And Carolyn has a plan. The only trouble is that in the war to make a new God, she's forgotten to protect the things that make her human. Populated by an unforgettable cast of characters and propelled by a plot that will shock you again and again, The Library at Mount Char is at once horrifying and hilarious, mind-blowingly alien and heartbreakingly human, sweepingly visionary and nail-bitingly thrilling—and signals the arrival of a major new voice in fantasy. Praise for The Library at Mount Char An engrossing fantasy world full of supernatural beings and gruesome consequences."—Boston Globe "Vivid . . . the dialogue sings . . . you'll spend equal time shuddering and chortling."—Dallas Morning News"

Book excerpt: In the summer of 1964, while a military coup was taking place and tanks were rolling through the streets of Algiers, Robert Irwin set off for Algeria in search of Sufi enlightenment. There he entered a world of marvels and ecstasy, converted to Islam and received an initiation as a faqir. He learnt the rituals of Islam in North Africa and he studied Arabic in London. He also pursued more esoteric topics under a holy fool possessed of telepathic powers. A series of meditations on the nature of mystical experience run through this memoir. But political violence, torture, rock music, drugs, nightmares, Oxbridge intellectuals and first love and its loss are all part of this strange story from the 1960s.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Would our world be a better place if some of us were benders? Can Katara repair the world through care? Is Toph a disability pride icon? What does it mean for Zuko to be bad at being good? Can we tell whether uncle Iroh is a fool or a sage? The world is out of sorts. The four nations, Water, Earth, Fire, and Air, are imbalanced because of the unrelenting conquest of the Fire Nation. The only one who can restore balance to the world is the Avatar. On the face of it, Avatar: The Last Airbender is a story about a lone superhero. However, saving the world is a team effort, embodied in Team Avatar, aka the Gaang. Aang needs help from his friends and tutors, even from non-human animals. Through the teachings of Guru Pathik and Huu he comes to realize that though the world and its nations seem separate, we are all one people. We all have the same roots and we are all branches of the same tree. Avatar: The Last Airbender and Philosophy brings to the fore the Eastern, Western, and Indigenous philosophies that are implicit in the show. Following Uncle Iroh’s advice that it is important to draw wisdom from many traditions, this volume features contributions by experts on Buddhist, Daoist, Confucian, and Indigenous schools of thought, next to focusing on Western classical authors such as Plotinus, Kant, and Merleau-Ponty. The volume is also unique in drawing on less common traditions such as black abolitionism, anarchism, and the philosophy of martial arts. Intertwining experience and reflection, ATLA and Philosophy helps readers to deeply engage with today’s burning questions, such as how to deal with ecological destruction, the aftermath of colonialism and genocide, and wealth inequality, using the tools from a wide range of philosophical traditions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flora was prolific in his commercial work; he created art privately in equal measure and often with more fiendish pleasure. His style is cartoonish, evoking childhood nostalgia and dereliction of adult responsibility. There are clowns and kitty cats, grinning faces and beaming suns. But Flora did not restrain his darker impulses. His montages are crammed with bullets and knives and fang-baring snakes. Muggers run amok, demons frolic with rouged harlots, and Flora's characters suffer that is, are afflicted by the artist with severe disfigurement. The banal and the violent often coexist within inches of each other on the canvas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Granada is a deceptive city, concealing a layered past and a complex character. The last Muslim capital in Western Europe, over the centuries it has captured hearts and imaginations, inspiring countless myths and legends. Yet its history reveals even more fascinating tales: secrets and follies, victory and failure, poetry and art. City of Illusions brings together Granada's many stories--the archaeological forger, the renegade French general, the garrotted liberal heroine, the Jewish poet who served two Muslim rulers. This colourful cast of characters takes us from the founding eleventh-century dynasty and the building of the Alhambra, through the Reconquista, French occupation and Spanish Civil War, right up to the present day. Granada's history has long been fought over, rewritten, idealised or buried. This rich, elegant book sets the record straight on a beautiful, elusive city, with all its quirks, mysteries, intrigues and triumphs.
