TOWARDS TRUTH AND WISDOM

A Meditator’s Guide

By AJAHN SUMANOBHIKKHU

By Jess Peter Koffman

Paperback

Paperback

In Towards Truth and Wisdom, Ajahn Sumano Bhikkhu, American-born Buddhist monk, answers questions from spiritual seekers from all over the world. The heartfelt questions of these “city” people and the clear, refreshing, and penetrating answers Sumano gives from his “forest” perspective form the book’s basis. Grouped into different chapters such as “Questioning Your Way to the Truth,” the questions vary in nature with one constant theme: Mindfulness meditation everyday is not just suitable for a monk living alone in a mountain, but an urgent necessity for every human being.

A Meditator’s Guide is a compilation of talks by Venerable Pramote Pamojjo, one of Thailand’s revered Buddhist meditation masters. It includes teachings on the true meaning of mindfulness and its practice in formal meditation and daily life. It also explores the entire Dhamma practice scope, from beginners first sitting down to meditate to the most advanced stages. It outlines the different meditations and when each should be applied. Though deepening from chapter to chapter, the book needn’t be read exclusively in order as each chapter is its own comprehensive work.

BIG DATA

CIVILIAN WARRIORS

By CUKIER & MAYER-SCHONBERGER

By ERIK PRINCE

Paperback The Aristotle-inspired ideology of understanding the causes behind everything is fading. In the age of big data, we can crunch massive amounts of information to gain invaluable insights about what rather than why like tracking vital signs to foresee deadly infections and monitoring social media for trends. But there is a dark side: Will it be machines making decisions? Will individuals be punished for acts not yet committed? Two globally respected data experts reveal big data’s reality and provide the tools needed for this next phase of human evolution.

Hardback Blackwater founder and former CEO Erik Prince, previously hindered from speaking out against false information due to secrecy requirements, now tells the world’s most controversial military contractor’s gripping story. Blackwater hired those with the necessary skills and courage for the riskiest security jobs, totalling nearly 100,000 Iraq and Afghanistan missions. Prince’s narrative includes new details about controversial events and myths spread by TV and movies. Honoring US armed forces while challenging the Pentagon’s top leadership, it makes people rethink who the “good” and “bad” guys have been since 9/11.

To emulate former capital Ayutthaya’s glories King Rama I, in 1782, was the first to commission the construction of buildings in the majestic Grand Palace complex.

In addition to describing the Grand Palace’s exquisite buildings like the Emerald Buddha Temple, this book also illustrates many key sites in the surrounding Rattanakosin Island and includes photographs of key Thai royal ceremonies.
