Cheri Miller's poems are flush with imagery that reflects earth's bounty. Her opening poem, First Religion, begins When the line was blurred between yard and woods. In it, she writes of the moon, wet grass, blackberries, and wild grapes. We imagine this is the poet's faith, grounded in the belief that the natural world can sustain us, carry us through the difficult times, provide shelter and rest. Other poems hark back to childhood, as in The Woods Still Accept me as a Little Girl where she laughs like summer, or to an earlier time in the poet's life when nature was a playground or refuge. We lose ourselves in a melancholia that is deeply satisfying. Such is the talent of a writer who is living within, but also looking out with a keen eye for capturing the daily objects and sights we might overlook. She enlivens all the senses. When Miller writes, God settled into melike snow settles in grass, we can picture it easily. There is nature and human nature, and the vicissitudes of both are captured in this small, but powerful collection. While we are offered a window into loss and mourning, we are also gifted with love poems that are generous, grateful, and honeysuckle sweet. It is a pleasure to read them. There is also hope here for the world to heal. We savor the images and sensibility that pay homage to Emily Dickenson. Miller's poems fall into you gracefully. They are poems that fallin all the little creasesBetween dry blades of grass.pstrong-Christine Higginsstrong, emHallowempbrpCheri Miller's book, Temrying My Wings, em is charming, delicate, and fully alive. Most of the poems take the reader outside into familiar settings, but Miller shows us specific details that surprise and stick with us. First Religion prepares us for a journey from a moon-lit path where cool grass waters the speaker's feet, and blackberries droop with their midnight juice, to the last poem where the speaker shares a moment with a small bird ta

bThis rare offering by Kyabje Dodrupchen Rinpoche is a uniquely concise volume of the teachings of the path to liberation that is authentic, authoritative, and complete.b pIn iLiberation from Samsara, i the Fourth Kyabje Dodrupchen Rinpoche presents the Longchen Nyingtig teachings, the innermost secret teachings of Dzogchen that constitute a complete path to enlightenment. p Rinpoche's precious teaching begins with meditations on the common and uncommon preliminary practices, includingbr ul the difficulty of obtaining a fortunate human birth, li the impermanence of life, li the implacability of karmic causes and results, li samsaric suffering in the six realms, li taking refuge, li developing bodhichitta, li purification by Vajrasattva recitation, li and accumulating merits by mandala offerings.li ul p After discussing the ways to turn our mind toward Dharma and the trainings, Rinpoche progresses seamlessly to the main tantric practice meditations on unifying one's mind with Guru Rinpoche's wisdom mind. p This rare teaching by Rinpoche, though intentionally succinct to accommodate the needs of contemporary Western practitioners, presents a complete path to enlightenment.

pbA wry, moving collection of letters from the late J. F. Powers, a comic writer of genius Mary Gordonb pBest known for his 1963 National Book Award-winning novel, iMorte D'Urban, i and as a master of the short story, J. F. Powers drew praise from Evelyn Waugh, Flannery O'Connor, Saul Bellow, and Philip Roth, among others. Though Powers's fiction dwelt chiefly on the lives of Catholic priests, he long planned to write a novel of family life, a feat he never accomplished. He did, however, write thousands of letters, which, selected here by his daughter, Katherine A. Powers, become an intimate version of that novel, dynamic with plot and character. They show a dedicated artist, passionate lover, reluctant family man, pained aesthete, sports fan, and appreciative friend. pAt times wrenching and sad, at others ironic and exuberantly funny, iSuitable Accommodationsi is the story of a man at odds with the world and, despite his faith, with his church. Beginning in prison, where Powers spent more than a year as a conscientious objector, the letters move on to his courtship, marriage, comically unsuccessful attempt to live in the woods, life in the Midwest and in Ireland, an unorthodox view of the Catholic Church, and an increasingly bizarre search for suitable accommodations, which included three full-scale emigrations to Ireland. pHere, too, are encounters with such diverse people as Thomas Merton, Eugene McCarthy, Robert Lowell, Theodore Roethke, Sean O'Faolain, Frank O'Connor, Dorothy Day, and Alfred Kinsey. pAn NPR Best Book of 2013p

In the borderland of Upper Silesia between 1848 and 1960, the local population resisted attempts by nationalist activists to compel them to become loyal Germans or Poles, a divide dictated by the two languages they spoke. This study of that resistance will appeal to scholars of European history and nationalism.

pemThe Law of Correspondenceem is a selection of chapters from Professor Akram Almajid's work, emMan257zil al-s257702ir299n b257b al-fir257saem, which examines the science of emfir257saem clairvoyance, often translated as physiognomy. The present work lays the foundation for the essential knowledge that guides the perceptive observer to discern inward properties from outward appearances. The author achieves this by providing a careful exposition of the various levels of correspondences and interrelationships within creation. An understanding of these correspondences not only opens up a window into various spiritual disciplines, but more significantly, it casts light onto the mystical worldview which focuses upon the creative patterns and divine connections within existence. From the spiritual vantage point, this work surveys the varying dimensions of divine manifestation as they unfold within the different degrees of Being. In this respect the work outlines the philosophical underpinnings of mystical inquiry, dealing with the nature of Being and the method by which it is understood and attained.ppThe law of correspondence is founded on the idea that Being is a singular reality that manifests on various planes of existence. Each plane is a part of a unified and interconnected whole as the famous Hermetic axiom states, As above, so below as below, so above. Since multiplicity originates from singularity, every entity bears the imprint of its source. The law of correspondence also holds that the human being is the convergence between this ultimate singularity and the multiplicity of existence, the synthesis of spirit and body that embraces every spiritual and material realm.ppbrppbrppbrp

bThis monograph is the first to collect the photographs of internationally acclaimed multimedia artist Barry McGee.b p pThough best known for the inventive graphic sensibility of his paintings, drawings, and installations, McGee's use of photography is an essential component of his artistic vision. Captured at all hours and around the world with whatever camera is at hand, McGee's images are immediate, casual, intimate, and anarchic all at once. His work boldly employs geometric shapes, clusters of framed drawings and paintings, distinctive characters, and found objects such as empty bottles, surfboards, and wrecked vehicles. Whether incorporated into his iconic multi-element compositions, or printed in the innumerable fanzines and artist's books that often accompany his exhibitions, photographs pervade McGee's practice. iBarry McGee Reproductioni provides unique insight into the process of a major American artist, and is a testament to the immense amount of visual information McGee has absorbed to build one of the most eclectic and innovative artistic legacies of our time.pp

pThis book aims to explain air power to both military and civilian audiences in an accessible manner, approaching the topic in a balanced and systematic way. p pThe past 100 years illustrates that air power is an inevitable feature of any type of modern warfare. It has a key role to play in any of the three main operational environments conventional inter-state wars, peace-support operations, and counterinsurgencies. This book examines the strengths and challenges of using air power in these situations, and each type of operation is explained using modern and historical examples, with an emphasis on the relevant lessons for the contemporary and future use of air power.p pThe book also looks into the complexity of media coverage of air warfare and changes in the public perception of air power in recent years. The specifics of structuring national air forces is also discussed, along with the future of air power based on current trends. One of the enduring themes in the book is the necessity of inter-service and cross-domain integration, emphasizing the increasingly important role of cyber and space domains in the future of network-centric warfare. 12288p pThis book will be essential reading for students of air power and air warfare, and recommended reading for students of international security, strategic studies, defence studies, and foreign policy.p
