"Moon, longtime editor of the Buddhist Peace Fellowship's journal  Turning Wheel , has anthologized some of the journal's best articles into the current book. . . . Moon's real brilliance is insisting on essays that eschew the hypothetical. Instead they describe frankly the intimate joys, humor, failures, even despair, of practicing engaged Buddhism."&mdash; Publishers Weekly

Not Turning Away

&ldquo;Are animals mere things, here for us to exploit? Or are they rather sentient, often intelligent beings, entitled to live their own lives? Matthieu Ricard examines theological, philosophical and scientific thinking on both sides of the issue and concludes that without doubt we must recognize each animal is an individual deserving of our compassion and respect.&#160;A Plea for the Animals&#160;is fascinating, instructive and compelling, speaking to us on both an intellectual and emotional level.&rdquo;&mdash;Jane Goodall"A Plea for the Animals continues and completes the wonderful work Matthieu Ricard did in his Altruism, drawing on science and philosophy to show that compassion cannot be limited to members of our own species but must be extended to all beings capable of suffering.&#160; This is a book for everyone who is willing to consider the case for a radical change in the way we treat animals."&mdash;Peter Singer, author of Practical Ethics and Animal Liberation"A Plea for the Animals&#160;is an outstanding and&#160;well-referenced&#160;book that surely will make a difference for the billions of nonhumans who routinely suffer globally at the hands of humans, be it in&#160;slaughterhouses, laboratories, or other captive situations, or in what's left of their&#160;natural environs. Matthieu Ricard's heartfelt plea for us to tap into our caring and compassionate selves and to treat other animals with unbounded dignity and respect will go a long way toward inspiring people to see other animals for who they truly are, to feel for them deeply, and to recognize how they fully depend on us to grant them the ability to be able to live their lives in peace and safety -- to survive and to thrive in an increasingly human-dominated world. By personally rewilding and understanding what other animals want and need, humans will more easily reconnect and become re-enchanted with other animals so that peaceful coexistence becomes a reality, and it will&#160;be a win-win for all concerned."&mdash;Marc Bekoff, author of&#160;Animals Matter&#160;and&#160;Rewilding Our Hearts: Building Pathways of Compassion and Coexistence&#160;

"Handsomely produced companion piece to Ryan Reynolds'Green Lantern movie, this coffee table book blends commentary by behind-the-scenes talent with storyboard art, character sketches, concept art and still photos from the set." ~Wired &ldquo;A new book, Constructing Green Lantern: From Page to Screen, gives a kind of production diary that takes you through every stage of creating the movie&rsquo;s weird vistas, alien landscapes and green energy constructs.&rdquo; ~iO9.com"For a Green Lantern fan, this is a must have, but what makes it a fascinating read is its ability to transcend just the fanbase. You don&rsquo;t have to know a power battery from a car battery to be impressed (and educated) by this surprisingly thorough time capsule of Green Lantern&rsquo;s first trip to the big screen." ~Hollywood.com&#160;&ldquo;Author Inguanzo, the films&rsquo; on-set Green Lantern expert and &lsquo;Assets Manager,&rsquo; didn&rsquo;t get the memo about writing fluffy movie tie-in books and actually wrote a detailed and intelligent production memoir, loaded with photos from the set, pre-viz art, storyboards and final composite images that at least prove that the filmmakers set out to do the character justice.&rdquo; ~cartoonbrew.com&#160;&ldquo;Books like these can run the risk of becoming boring technical retellings, but Constructing avoids that problem by structuring the book to follow the plot of the film&hellip; It&rsquo;s Inguanzo&rsquo;s emphasis on story that makes Contructing a book you can actually sit down and read instead of just flipping through it looking for interesting bits.&rdquo; ~bleedingcool.com

"Pinkhas Kahanovitsh, who wrote under the pseudonym Der Nister (or 'The Hidden One'), was a master of the surreal...What is astounding about this book, despite its extreme realism, is how it achieves a kind of surrealistic magic of its own. Despite its outwardly censor-approved story, the novel contains a hidden commentary on coercive belief and, through its breathtaking depth of detail, an almost supernatural resurrection of a Jewish life that failed to prove its right to exist. Reading this massive novel is the closest anyone can come today to living in that world." --Dara Horn, Foreword Magazine"The restoration to the light of this extraordinary novel is an act of literary and cultural redemption. More than that, the restitution of this Yiddish masterwork-as life-saturated as the other great Russian novels--is an augmentation of world literature." -Cynthia Ozick"Like his contemporary and friend, Marc Chagall, Kahanovitch depicts Russian Jewish life 100 years ago...Leonard Wolf's translation is stylish...it expresses beautifully a poetic turn-of-the-century novel...We should see Kahanovitch posthumously rehabilitated...one of [the Soviet Union's] outstanding literary figures." -The Financial Times"The great achievement of The Family Mashber is to have re-created with such passionate objectivity, in all its complexity and breadth, a world what exists now only in this enduring memorial to it...a book that leads us...to cross thresholds, most of all the threshold of our own experience; to enter in and be moved like him by the 'spirit of celebration.'" -The New York Review of Books"This scrupulously detailed, grandly plotted family novel-a realistic work that deals with questions of both faith and commerce while managing mystical overtones-compels attention and admiration." -National Yiddish Book Center"This vast mural of the Ukraine, written in Yiddish 50 years ago and only now published in English...is notable for its depth and breadth of characterization, noise and variety, coarse comedy and Goya-esque depiction of jostling, importunate mobs. Readers won't soon forget the mansions and hovels, refuse-strewn alleys and fragrant courts of the market town so vividly re-created in this powerful novel." -Publishers Weekly"An extraordinary novel." -Alan Sillitoe, The Sunday Times"A fascinating read." -Guardian"Earthily realistic and powerfully transcendental...it holds much reward for anyone attracted to the reincarnation of a culture now disappeared, but brought to life by a passionate sense of tribal history." -The Herald"One of the masterpieces of Soviet fiction." -The Modern Jewish Canon
