"Extraordinarily clear. . . . Hartranft makes Pata&#241;jali's complications seem somehow obvious."&#8212;Shambhala Sun     "A Yoga Sutra for the twenty-first century . . . translated into plain (but not boring) accessible language. . . . If there's a more succinct explanation of the enduring value of Pata&#241;jali's work, I'd sure like to hear it."&#8212;Yoga Journal  "Chip Hartranft has given us a fresh, authoritative, and brilliant new translation of and commentary on the  Yoga-Sutra, and an entire generation of American yogis should be deeply grateful. His work successfully combines intellectual precision with emotional accessibility&#8212;a powerful marriage seldom even attempted with this notoriously difficult text. Hartranft is careful always to leave Pata&#241;jali's own genius in the foreground, and as a result the astounding intellectual architecture of the  Yoga-Sutra shines through. Bravo!"&#8212;Stephen Cope, author of  Yoga and the Quest for the True Self     "Much of contemporary yoga in the West has emphasized breathing and the body. These invaluable practices have been separated from the comprehensive ethical and meditative approach of the great teacher Pata&#241;jali. Recently there has been an increased interest in correcting this limitation. Chip Hartranft's brilliant new translation of and commentary on Pata&#241;jali's masterpiece moves interested yogis decisively in this direction. It is a clear and inspiring work of immense value for all serious practitioners."&#8212;Larry Rosenberg, author of  Breath by Breath  and  Living in the Light of Death

"Andreas Doctor's Tibetan Treasure Literature is a treasure trove of fresh insights into the fascinating forces at work in the continuing development of Tibetan Buddhism. By giving extensive new access to centuries of Tibet's remarkable visionary literature, he uncovers a multitude of Tibetan strategies to establish religious authenticity and unity amidst tremendous historico-cultural change and multiplicity. Fresh perspectives emerge on the crucial role of religious communities in the construction and authentication of revelation. This book is a must for those interested not only in Buddhism's past but also in its present and future ways of negotiating these fundamental issues."&#160;&mdash;John Makransky, professor of Buddhism and Comparative Theology, Boston College  "This innovative book is a valuable, well-argued, and insightful contribution. . . . It lays bare the narrative and argumentative strategies behind the treasure polemics and broadens our knowledge of the fascinating literature not only by summarizing the results of the latest research but also by providing us with new significant materials." &mdash;Per K. Sorensen, professor, Institute for Indology and Central Asian Studies, University of Leipzig  "The continuing Tibetan tradition of terma hidden treasures is an important case for study. This book informs us about significant questions asked within the terma tradition including the all-important one, how are we to know if a revealed book contains authentic Buddha Word?" &mdash;Dan Martin, author of Unearthing Bon Treasures  "A compelling resource . . . perhaps the finest introduction to the Tibetan treasure tradition to date, well suited for the undergraduate classroom." &mdash;Alexander Gardner, Inner Asia    "This book offers a most lucid exposition." &mdash;Georg Feuerstein, PhD, author of Yoga Morality: Ancient Teachings at a Time of Global Crisis, The Deeper Dimension of Yoga, Holy Madness: Spirituality, Crazy-Wise Teachers, and Enlightenment, and Shambhala Encyclopedia of Yoga

"Antonia was a contestant I was always happy to see on Top Chef, when judging&#8212;or simply watching at home. As a judge, I was relieved to see her as I knew that, if nothing else, I'd be eating well that day. One of the strongest competitors and best cooks ever to appear on the long running series. Smart, no nonsense, wise&#8212;and a reliably terrific chef. She grounded the seasons on which she appeared with smart decision making, soulful flavors, and the kind of leadership qualities others would be wise to emulate.&#160; It's about time she wrote a book."&#8212;Anthony Bourdain, bestselling author of Kitchen Confidential&#8220;Antonia has combined Top Chef tasty with busy-mom easy to make incredibly delicious and approachable recipes. Schedule-juggling supermom or not, anyone with a busy schedule and a desire for quick homemade goodness will find themselves returning to this cookbook time and time again.&#8221;&#8211;Carla Hall, Top Chef fan favorite and co-host of ABC&#8217;s The Chew&#8220;Antonia is a friend, but also an undisputed creative chef. Many moms will enjoy the quick, delicious and accessible recipes, but more important they can teach their kids about food and the importance of the bonding and memories that can happen when you share food around a table as a family&#8212;just the way Antonia grew up in her family. A must not only for moms, but for any home cook!&#8221;&#8211;Hubert Keller, chef & owner, Fleur de Lys

"Essential teachings. . . . The deepest insights are presented here straight from the heart. I consider this a great contribution to the study of Buddhism."&mdash;Ringu Tulku  "Straight from the Heart is a priceless garland of Mahayana and Vajrayana literary gems that were previously difficult to locate. . . . Beautifully translated. . . . All communicate the singular power and beauty of the Dharma and undoubtedly will awaken or deepen faith in the reader as well as instruct and delight. . . . Brunnh&ouml;lzl&rsquo;s thoroughness in presenting these rare and inspiring materials can be gauged from the fact that the book contains well over one thousand footnotes furnishing further details both for the general reader and scholars.&#160;Straight from the Heart has an almost magical quality; it makes one feel as though one were sitting in the presence of all those wonderful masters."&mdash;Georg Feuerstein, PhD  "In the preface to Straight from the Heart: Buddhist Pith Instructions the translator Karl Brunnh&ouml;lzl aptly compares his new anthology to a box of fine chocolates. There is a tremendous variety within the collection, and as with chocolates these unique and rich poems, songs, and pithy treatises are best appreciated one or two at a time. . . . For readers who enjoy a book that may be repeatedly dipped into for inspiration, Straight from the Heart is a very deep well indeed. Brunnh&ouml;lzl strives for a balance of precision and clarity in his translations that make these esoteric instructions more accessible, and his commentaries contextualize the verses just enough without burying them in too much explanation."&mdash;Buddhadharma: The Practitioner's Quarterly  "Straight from the Heart: Buddhist Pith Instructions is an exciting new collection of poetry, songs, meditation, instructions, and philosophical works by Indian and Tibetan Buddhist masters, much of which has previously been unavailable in Western languages. The eminently capable translator Karl Brunnh&ouml;lzl has made his selections from the writings of such famous teachers as Nagarjuna Asanga and the Karmapas of Tibet as well as from those of lesser known teachers. Each selection is prefaced by an introduction and a biographical sketch of its author and is copiously annotated. The result is a compendium of profound and witty writings that will delight, inform, and inspire all who are interested in the Buddhist spiritual path."&mdash;Elizabeth Callahan, editor and translator of The Treasury of Knowledge, Book Six, Part Three: Frameworks of Buddhist Philosophy  "Well presented. . . . Brunnh&ouml;lzl is an eminently capable translator and has made his selections from famous teachers like Nagarjuna Asanga and the Karmapas of Tibet. . . . Profound and witty writings that speak straight to the heart."&mdash;The Middle Way

Named one of Publishers Weekly's Best Books of the Year 2007. "Philosopher, psychologist, and mystic Wilber delivers on the subtitle's far-reaching promise. . . . Chock full of handsome illustrations and spare, Zen-like diagrams and tables, Wilber's work here is still accessible and at times surprisingly practical. Some language spirals up majestically, recalling great Eastern texts. Reminiscent in spirit and watershed import of Ram Dass's Be Here Now, Wilber may well have created a popular classic for explorers on the frontiers of humanity."&#8212;Publishers Weekly  "[Wilber's] heady multidimensional approach is deciphered in this spiffy full-color paperback filled with pop culture graphics, tables, and charts. If you are interested in consciousness, complexity, maps, multiple intelligences, and more, here is a comprehensive philosophy that puts it all together."&#8212;Spirituality and Health

Praise for Triumphant "All Campbell's trademarks are present. On the military side, he handles riveting battles, knotty dilemmas, desperate actions, and lower-deck humor with the assurance of one who's been there and done that. And he offers intriguing insights into civilian power plays and politicking. His characters are well-drawn, with fully fleshed-out backgrounds and temperaments. . . . A solid entry to extend an always reliable sequence."--Kirkus Praise for Jack Campbell and his thrilling science fiction novels "An excellent blend of real science and space action. I enjoyed myself thoroughly from first to last page."--Brandon Sanderson, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Oathbringer"Campbell combines the best parts of military SF and grand space opera."--Publishers Weekly&ldquo;Campbell builds compelling characters and surrounds them with authentic details of skirmishes in space, on the ground, and everywhere in between . . . a page-turner of the first order.&rdquo;&mdash;Booklist &ldquo;Fans of David Weber, Ian Douglas, and John Scalzi should find plenty here to enjoy.&rdquo;&mdash;SFRevu  "Campbell's genius is action in space."--Tor.com &#160; "The story grabbed me by the throat and didn't let go. Strong characters,&#160; complex politics on multiple worlds,&#160; battles against impossible odds,&#160; this book has the whole package."--Elizabeth Moon, Nebula Award-winning author of Cold Welcome

"A very enjoyable overview of the entire Buddhist path."&mdash;Buddhadharma: The Practioner's Quarterly   "Ringu Tulku's book is remarkable for its clarity of vision simplicity of style and profundity of thought. It is an excellent overview of the Buddhist path."&mdash;Tibet Journal  "Rinpoche clearly has a deep and subtle understanding of every aspect of his subject. . . . A remarkable work offering readers a chance to understand Buddhism more fully, perhaps, than almost any introduction to the subject that I've read. I recommend this book highly and plan on rereading it soon."&mdash;Thar Lam  "This insight into the entirety of Buddha's teachings is written in a style that will appeal to new and old Buddhist students by showing how Buddha's teachings are accessible at all levels of comprehension. Ringu Tulku leads the reader from the Buddha's earliest teachings right through to the heights of mahamudra practice. This accessible book embraces all three traditional Buddhist spiritual paths&mdash;Shravakayana, Mahayana, and Vajrayana&mdash;bringing the Dharma back repeatedly to the reader's own experience."&mdash;Mandala Magazine    "As much of a practice manual as it is a scholarly assessment of basic meditation techniques and assorted Buddhist texts. . . . Highly recommended."&mdash;Wisconsin Bookwatch  "The author has produced a breathtaking overview of the Buddhist path that embraces all three traditional Buddhist yanas, or spiritual paths. He weaves a dynamic synergy that reveals the vital role of each path in the attainment of genuine realization. Bringing the teachings back repeatedly to the reader's own experience, Ringu Tulku both educates and inspires, connecting the Dharma's profundity with the spirit of the Buddha's own awakening."&mdash;Eastern Horizon  "A practice manual and scholastic accomplishment, this lively presentation will serve as both an introduction for the beginner and a reference work for experienced practitioners."&mdash;Buddhism Now

"Peter Rudnytsky has long been in the forefront of Ferenczi scholarship.By bringing Ferenczi together with Fromm, and through his compelling readings of Shakespeare and Milton, he opens new vistas on the history of psychoanalysis and shows what it means to be resolutely independent in theory and genuinely interdisciplinary in practice."-Franco Borgogno, Training and Supervising Analyst, Italian Psychoanalytic Society; author of The Girl Who Committed Hara-Kiri and Other Clinical and Historical Essays

"Formulated Experiences brings Erich Fromm back to public awareness as well as to the attention of the psychoanalytic community.Peter Rudnytsky's excellent and original essays invite a new generation of readers to discover why Fromm’s social psychoanalysis is more urgently needed today than ever."-Rainer Funk, literary executor of Erich Fromm, author of Life Itself Is an Art: The Life and Work of Erich Fromm

Reviews of the previous edition:

'The way in which this text combines clear and detailed explanations of technical concepts with a comprehensive set of contemporary and relevant examples is excellent. Whilst the focus is largely on developing the practical skills of argument reconstruction and analysis, the authors never lose sight of the larger philosophical picture, and this makes the book a joy both to teach with, and to learn from.' - Joel Walmsley, University College Cork, Ireland

'Critical Thinking is the best textbook by some distance for undergraduate students approaching the subject for the first time. It is clearly written and introduces the fundamental concepts of the subject in an accessible and systematic way. The fourth edition contains welcome new material on probabilistic reasoning, as well as continued improvements throughout the book. It remains the clear first-choice textbook for my course.' - Graham Stevens, University of Manchester, UK

'The fourth edition is a clear improvement over previous editions. The book is still the best guide around to the habits of reflective argument reconstruction and assessment—that undergraduate philosophy majors are expected to form.' - Steven Jauss, University of Arkansas at Little Rock, USA

Reviews of earlier editions:

'This concise guide offers relevant, rigorous and approachable methods … The authors focus on analysing and assessing arguments in a thoughtfully structured series of chapters, with clear definitions, a glossary, plenty of examples and some useful exercises.' - Will Ord, Times Educational Supplement

'In my view this is the most useful textbook on the market for its stated audience. It provides exceptionally clear explanations, with sufficient technical detail, but without over-complication. It is my first-choice text for teaching critical thinking to first-year undergraduate students.' - Dawn M. Wilson, University of Hull, UK

'This is the best single text I have seen for addressing the level, presumptions, and interests of the non-specialist.' - Charles Ess, University of Oslo, Norway
