Selected Papers of Coomaraswamy, Volume 2
A collection of important essays by a pioneering interpreter of Indian art, philosophy, and mythology“Brilliant.”—Joseph Campbell, author of The Hero with a Thousand FacesAnanda K.

Finding a universal tradition in past cultures ranging from the Hellenic and Christian to the Indian, Islamic, and Chinese, he presented his ideas about the symbols of ancient wisdom in numerous essays. This volume includes a selection of his essays on metaphysics that were written in the 1930s and 1940s, when he was at the height of his powers.

Campbell was employed by Mellon in 1970 for six years, after her college graduation, to document in paint several Mellon residences presented here as a group for the first time. This book the culmination of an unfinished project that Mellon was organizing in her later years presents Campbell s paintings capturing the colors, light, and ambiance of rooms and gardens, as well as intricate patterns and details of furnishings in rooms arranged with help from renowned decorators John Fowler and Bruce Budd. Three residences in New York City, Washington, DC, and Upperville, Virginia are the focus, with texts by society chronicler James Reginato describing Mellon s decorating style and how she used each property for escape or as a backdrop for her and her husband s hospitality.

Navíc vysvětluje, jak a proč tyto nástroje fungují. Vychází přitom z jógové a buddhistické tradice, jejichž studiu se věnuje již více než třicet let. Čtenáře své knihy tak vede k pochopení kouzla skrytého v dechu a dává jim možnost s ním samostatně pracovat.
Dozvíte se:
• jak dechem ovlivnit svou náladu, množství energie i výkonnost,

• jak se naučit dýchat nosem (a proč to dělat),
• jak pracovat s dechovými zádržemi tak, abychom je povýšili na superschopnost,
• jak zlepšit svůj život pomocí přijetí faktu, že jednou vydechneme naposled.

Agnes Aubert's Mystical Cat Shelter
'WISTFUL, WARM AND IRRESISTIBLY CHARMING' Olivia Atwater, author of Half a SoulFrom the Sunday Times bestselling author of Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries comes a healing and heart-warming fantasy with magic shops, rescue cats and a second chance at love. Reader reviews:'Amazing!'?'Love it!' ?'I wanted it to last forever!' ?All strays are welcome here. Agnes Aubert is very fond of making lists. These lists kept her afloat when she lost her husband two years ago. And now, as the founder of a cat rescue charity, her meticulous organization skills feel like the only thing standing between her beloved cats - His Majesty, Banshee and sweet elderly Thoreau, to name a few - and utter disaster. But when Agnes is forced to move the charity, she soon discovers that her new shop is being used as a front; right under her feet is the lair of the decidedly disorganised - not to mention self-absorbed and infuriatingly handsome - Havelock Renard. Havelock is everything Agnes doesn't want in her life: chaos, mischief, and a little too much adventure. But as she gets to know him, she discovers he's more than the dark magician of legend, and that she may be ready for a little intrigue, perhaps even romance. After all, second chances aren't just for rescue cats. . . Praise for Agnes Aubert's Mystical Cat Shelter:'Reading Agnes Aubert's Mystical Cat Shelter reminded me of flying through the pages of Howl's Moving Castle for the first time--a warm and wondrous and magical experience. Fair warning: you might be tempted to add another cat (or two or three) to your home menagerie after reading this book.' Megan Bannen, author of The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy'Steeped in charm, wit and warmth, this is the perfect book to curl up with. Come for the delightfully fickle cats, stay for the grumpy wizard and tender romance. With the fuzzy persistence of cat hair on a jumper, it'll stick with you long after you put it down' Georgia Summers, author of The City of Stardust'Absolutely magnificent! Full of cats and magic, this is the kind of book you want to instantly re-read. I loved every character, every cat, and every moment with all my heart' Sarah Beth Durst, author of The Spellshop'It's been a long time since I so desperately wished to climb inside a novel and claim it for my home. This story feels like a gift-just for me!-but it will resonate with any reader searching for more magic, more kindness, more pastries in the world' Stephanie Perkins, author of Overdue 'This is a perfect book' Kiersten White, author of The Fox and the Devil
Can College Level the Playing Field?
Why higher education is not a silver bullet for eradicating economic inequality and social injusticeWe often think that a college degree will open doors to opportunity regardless of one’s background or upbringing. In this eye-opening book, two of today’s leading economists argue that higher education alone cannot overcome the lasting effects of inequality that continue to plague us, and offer sensible solutions for building a more just and equitable society. Sandy Baum and Michael McPherson document the starkly different educational and social environments in which children of different races and economic backgrounds grow up, and explain why social equity requires sustained efforts to provide the broadest possible access to high-quality early childhood and K–12 education. They dismiss panaceas like eliminating college tuition and replacing the classroom experience with online education, revealing why they fail to provide better education for those who need it most, and discuss how wages in our dysfunctional labor market are sharply skewed toward the highly educated. Baum and McPherson argue that greater investment in the postsecondary institutions that educate most low-income and marginalized students will have a bigger impact than just getting more students from these backgrounds into the most prestigious colleges and universities. While the need for reform extends far beyond our colleges and universities, there is much that both academic and government leaders can do to mitigate the worst consequences of America’s deeply seated inequalities. This book shows how we can address the root causes of social injustice and level the playing field for students and families before, during, and after college.
