A Handbook on Hanging

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Duff, Charles / Hitchens, Christopher, PUBLISHER: New York Review ong>ofong> Books, "A Handbook on Hanging" is a Swiftian tribute to that unappreciated mainstay ong>ofong> civilization: ong>theong> hangman. With barbed insouciance, Charles Duff writes not only ong>ofong> hanging but ong>ofong> electrocution, decapitations, and gassings; ong>ofong> innocent men executed and ong>ofong> executions botched; ong>ofong> ong>theong> bloodlust ong>ofong> mobs and ong>theong> shabby excuses ong>ofong> ong>theong> great. This coruscating and, in contemporary America, very relevant polemic makes clear that whatever else capital punishment may be said to be--justice, ong>vengeanceong>, a deterrent--it is certainly killing.

An Arrow to the Heart: A Commentary on the Heart Sutra

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: McLeod, Ken, PUBLISHER: Trafford Publishing, An Arrow to ong>theong> Heart is an exciting, trail-blazing, non-traditional translation and ong>commentaryong> ong>ofong> ong>theong> Heart Sutra, an ancient and highly revered text in Mahayana Buddhism. This sutra is a concise presentation ong>ofong> ong>theong> emptiness ong>ofong> all experience. Almost cryptic in its brevity, it confounds and inspires all who read it. Free ong>ofong> ong>theong> cultural clothing in which Buddhism came to ong>theong> West, An Arrow to ong>theong> Heart goes straight to ong>theong> heart ong>ofong> ong>theong> Heart Sutra. In ong>theong> tradition ong>ofong> Hakuin and oong>theong>rs, McLeod's provocative tone and unpredictable turns consistently derail any conceptual understanding ong>ofong> this classic Buddhist scripture. Instead, he throws ong>theong> reader into ong>theong> very emptiness ong>theong> Heart Sutra describes. ong>Theong> result is a sense ong>ofong> previously unsuspected possibilities that illuminate every nook and cranny ong>ofong> your life. It's also a delightfully irreverent combination ong>ofong> wit, irony, prose, and poetry. If you are looking for a traditional ong>commentaryong> on ong>theong> Heart Sutra, this is probably not ong>theong> right book. This book is for people who aren't afraid ong>ofong> having ong>theong> ground pulled out from under ong>theong>m. Only in ong>theong> last few years have senior Western teachers such as Ken McLeod started to write commentaries that truly mix ong>theong> culture and style ong>ofong> Western thought with a deep respect and understanding ong>ofong> such traditional texts as ong>theong> Heart Sutra.
