“This is a book about the reception of Indian tantric traditions in the context of Western occultism. … a unique contribution to the study of modern and contemporary Western Esotericism. The book is the first academic monograph on receptions of tantra and yoga in the context of occultist magical groups. Its short chapters, written as self-contained essays, make it a useful crash course on this topic. … will be of great interest to scholars and students of modern occultism.” (Egil Asprem, Nova Religio, 2016)"It's about time. At last we have a serious, nuanced, and thoughtful book on the central role that India and Indian Tantra have played in the history of Western esotericism, occultism, and magic. Djurdjevic hits all the right notes. He celebrates comparison as essential to any such historical enterprise. He takes up the role of the imagination and the ideal object as keys to any and all human reality posits. He does not dismiss western forms of Tantra and yoga as somehow illegitimate or unimportant. And he focuses, without blinking, on the explicitly sexual dimensions of these practices and figures that have come to shape and define that century and a half long Tantric transmission." - Jeffrey J. Kripal, author of Esalen: America and the Religion of No Religion

"Djurdjievic's book is of enormous interest for all scholars and readers who want to understand modern developments in the history of western esotericism, especially from a comparative, cross-cultural perspective. It casts new light on movements and groups that had been very little - if at all - studied before, such as Kenneth Grant's Thyphonian OTO, Dadaji Mahendranath's East-West Order, and Mike Magee's AMOOKOS. It also offers new insight on classic authors such as Aleister Crowley and Dion Fortune, and their relationship with Indian spiritual traditions. Djurdjevic's expertise in both western and Indian sources makes this comparative study essential reading for all persons who want to understand phenomena of acculturation and globalization in modern western esotericism." - Marco Pasi, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands

&ldquo;An engaging overview of these highly trained warriors....SEAL teams have been in nearly continuous combat for over 15 years, and the book provides some of the best tales of these missions, not only in Iraq and Afghanistan, but other regions of the world.&rdquo;&mdash;New York Journal of Books &ldquo;Exceptionally informative and an inherently fascinating read from cover to cover, Navy SEALs: The Combat History of the Deadliest Warriors on the Planet will prove to be an immediate and enduringly popular addition to both community and academic library American Military History collections in general, and SEALs supplemental studies lists in particular.&rdquo;&mdash;Midwest Book Review &ldquo;If you only read one book about the Navy SEALs&mdash;read this one.&#160; At once entertaining and informative, Navy SEALs is the definitive history of this legendary group of warriors. Its combat vignettes, spanning WWII to present day, grab your attention and hold it from start to finish. The book is superbly crafted with a compelling narrative that not only chronicles the fighting history of&#160;the Navy SEALs but also includes commentary on the geopolitical context within in which the SEALs were sent to fight. It also is highly informative on the training that a recruit must undergo to become a SEAL and what makes the difference between those who are successful in this mighty quest and those who are not.&#160; Easy to read and enjoyable, I highly recommend this book.&rdquo;&mdash;Duane Evans, former CIA officer and author of Foxtrot in Kandahar: A Memoir of a CIA Officer in Afghanistan at the Inception of America&#39;s Longest War&#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &ldquo;If you love military history, you will love this book. If you love special operations military history, you won&#39;t want to put this book down.&#160;After reading Navy SEALs, I learned more about the history of the Navy Frogman/SEAL legacy than I thought I knew.&#160;Born from the ancient warrior code and forged by events from World War II to the present, the U.S Navy SEAL mission has evolved as&#160;the times and threats have changed. This evolution is easier to understand when you know the history of the men who volunteered for&#160;&#160;these highly secretive missions. Though the job has changed significantly, the men who perform these missions have not. Take a&#160;journey through military history and get to know the men who became Navy SEALs and those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.&#160;You will not be disappointed with this history book."&mdash;Stew Smith, author, fitness coach, and former Navy SEAL officer &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160;&#160; "Excellent read!&#160;This is one of the most in depth books I&rsquo;ve ever read regarding the Navy SEALS.&#160; Don Mann and Lance Burton do an incredible job of taking the reader through the early UDT Frogmen in WWII to the warrior SEALs of today. Don Mann, retired Navy SEAL, gives the reader personal accounts from the indoctrination period, BUD/S, SQT, and ultimately having the Trident proudly pinned on their uniform, as well as some of his service to our county.&#160;Don and Lance share the stories of those SEAL heroes who went above and beyond the call of duty earning them the Congressional Medal of Honor. I would recommend this book to anyone who is thinking about or wanting to become a Navy SEAL or someone who just likes to read about the SEALs."&mdash;Jimmie Lobley, Former SRT/Deputy WCSO Sheriff&#39;s Office "Hollywood &#39;SEALs&#39; don&rsquo;t come close to the authentic Navy SEALs. The real life depictions of SEALs and their operations around the world, as described by Don Mann in his most recent book, Navy SEALs: the Combat History of the Deadliest Warriors on the Planet, are at the same time frightening and inspiring. We should all be thankful for their dedicated service."&mdash;DJ Mallmann, CIA (ret.),&#160; author of Shibboleth.&#160; &#160; PRAISE FOR DON MANN &#160; &ldquo;Don Mann is an outstanding example of the military men this nation produces, and a&#160;top-notch&#160;tactical operator and instructor.&rdquo; &mdash;Edward J. Pollard, Assistant Director (Ret.), Protective Operations, United States Secret Service &#160; &ldquo;Don Mann is a true warrior.&#160;He speaks from a place of knowledge and experience, and has truly &lsquo;been there, done that.&rsquo;&rdquo;&mdash;Niki Anderson, Counterintelligence Advisor, Center for Counterintelligence and Security Studies &#160; &ldquo;Mann does a fine job giving readers the feel of what it&rsquo;s like to be a member of the SEALs, from danger to camaraderie.&rdquo; &mdash;Booklist &#160; &ldquo;Filled with the kind of knowing, immersive detail that can only come from someone with real-life experience in the field.&rdquo;&mdash;Howard E. Wasdin,&#160;New York Times best-selling author of&#160;SEAL Team Six:&#160;Memoirs of an Elite Navy SEAL Sniper &#160; "A riveting and accurate description of how special operations units actually conduct counterterrorist operations in the field.&rdquo;&mdash;James Blount, former supervisor at the Central Intelligence Agency &#160;

"Management is taught as a discipline, which can be applied in any organization, including those in which the employees are highly skilled and highly trained. In this context the ‘in-experienced’ manager’s tendency is to conceal his ignorance or to assume she has all the answers. This ethnography illustrates this all too frequent behavior but also shows how this difficult situation can be managed with ethics and aplomb. While the context of this study is a Kibbutz in Israel, the situation applies around the world in many different types of organization, from universities, to Information Technology, to health care and professional service firms like lawyers and accountants. This book is a must read for any Human Resources Manager filling such a position or any Manager taking up such a role and perhaps even more importantly, for any Professional managed by someone without your professional expertise." –Roxanne Zolin, Queensland University of Technology, Australia
