The Lighted Rooms

War Dogs is a book that both celebrates and respects the role of the combat soldier, with all of their trials and tribulations. Think of it as The Forever War or Starship Troopers, upgraded to the 21st century, a tale that shows that even when the technology changes, the role of the soldier does not. It is the best book I've read from Greg for a while, and one of the best military-SF books I've read in years.

The inimitable Mrs Beeton's wisdom is here collected in six books - covering everything from 'Cakes and Bakes' to 'Chicken, Other Birds and Game' - each with forewords by today's most celebrated chefs, from Mark Hix to Thomasina Miers, all extolling the great woman's genius and paying homage to this country's first celebrity chef.

Foreword by Claire Ptak

Mrs Beeton's Cakes & Bakes

&ldquo;Funny, incisive, frightening and eminently skillful. In addition, it displays the Cassandra-like quality of good fiction... When we read, at a climactic moment in the novel, 'It seems the Americans are gun runners,&rsquo; the words hit home with a sickening thud. Ms. Johnson's novel might be read as a primer by any Westerner unfamiliar with Iran&mdash;that is, by anyone who has not lived there for some weeks, unprotected by the artificial host apparatus set up for Government-sanctioned visits.&rdquo;&mdash;Jayne Phillips, New York Times &#160; &ldquo;All this is material for a tale of high adventure in a dangerous, foreign setting; but novelist and screenwriter Diane Johnson also explores a deeper level of human intrigue: one that has less to do with the suspenseful action than with its attendant moments of doubt and discovery&hellip; Deftly, the narrative weaves through the lives and viewpoints of the other residents of the Azami Compound: Iranian doctors and their fretful, foreign spouses; American doctors divorced or just divorcing; Iranian wives who feel stifled and alienated and seek escape from their country; a grieving widower who seeks meaning in death through an impulsive act of bravery.&rdquo;&mdash;Los Angeles Times &#160; &ldquo;Intelligent and level.&rdquo;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews

Minimum Wage Legislation (1914)

&ldquo;The Emanated Scripture of Manjushri is quite unique in Tibetan literature, not only because of its being written in the form of questions and answers, alternating verse andprose, but because it is a compendium of short teachings that presents a limpid, concise, and yet profound instruction on the entire graded path to enlightenment. It does so in a nonsectarian manner typical of Shabkar&rsquo;s approach. This graded path takes us first through a thorough presentation of the &ldquo;mind training&rdquo; (Lojong) teachings, based on Je Tsongkhapa&rsquo;s Great Graded Path (Lam rim chen mo), to pith instructions, essential teachings on the nature of mind according to the Mahamudra tradition of Milarepa, practical explanations on the songs of realization, or dohas, of Saraha, and culminates with the ultimate teachings of the Great Perfection, Dzogchen, the pinnacle of the Nine Vehicles.Thus, in twenty-three pieces of advice, Shabkar elucidates the essentials of spiritual practice: the need to renounce the world, to rely on a spiritual master, and to unite meditation on emptiness with compassion. He explains how to meditate, how to apply in daily life the insights thus gained, and how to mingle one&rsquo;s mind with the guru&rsquo;s mind and liberate thoughts as they arise. Shabkar&rsquo;s style is crisp and effective, as if he had intended to define each step of the contemplative life in the briefest yet most complete and inspiring way for practitioners.&rdquo;&mdash;from the introduction by Matthieu Ricard
