&ldquo;In the more than two decades since I&rsquo;ve met Rinpoche, he has given me many priceless instructions on how to work with my own impatient states of mind. One of my favorites, which you find in this book, is &lsquo;the propensity to be bothered.&rsquo; No matter how perfect or imperfect our world is, working with this propensity is indispensable to well-being. It is the only way to achieve a peaceful heart.&rdquo;&mdash;from the foreword by Pema Ch&ouml;dr&ouml;n, author of Welcoming the Unwelcome and When Things Fall Apart&ldquo;In Peaceful Heart, Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche brings to life the indispensable practice of patience in everyday life. Expounding on the &lsquo;patience chapter&rsquo; from one of the most beloved and renowned classical texts of Buddhism, The Way of the Bodhisattva, Rinpoche shows us, in everyday language, how to transform situations that test our patience into opportunities to develop empathy and insight. Kongtrul Rinpoche&rsquo;s unparalleled understanding of the world we live in and of the practical application of timeless wisdom in our contemporary society makes this book indispensable reading for all who seek sanity and patience amidst adversities and conflicts. Peaceful Heart invites us to awaken to our innate qualities of patience and compassion, which can be our greatest contribution to the world.&rdquo;&mdash;Jetsun Khandro Rinpoche, author of How Not to Miss the Point and This Precious Life&ldquo;What is the ultimate skill in times of anger and hardened views? It&rsquo;s patience. With patience we can realize the tender heart that&rsquo;s with us all the time, and develop the capacity to change our own minds. This powerful book is the support each of us needs in this new world we&rsquo;ve landed in, where patience is needed more than ever.&rdquo;&mdash;Sharon Salzberg, author of Lovingkindness and Real Change&ldquo;Buddhists will appreciate Kongtrul&rsquo;s ode to Shantideva, but even non-Buddhist readers will enjoy this powerful work&rsquo;s vivid writing and wise instruction.&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers Weekly&ldquo;With admirable elegance, [Kongtrul] discusses the art of training the mind to be strong and resilient.&rdquo;&mdash;Spirituality & Practice

"This book studies Müntz spaces associated with an increasing sequence of nonnegative exponents … . This is a well-organized, well-written, thoughtful, and thought-provoking book, discussing a number of tastefully selected topics. There is no doubt that research will continue, in the footsteps of the authors, on the fascinating problems related to these topics that remain open."

&ldquo;&hellip;a thought provoking, eerie, and well-timed look at how misogyny and the desire to hide it can be damaging to everyone. Readers who enjoy the more psychological aspects of horror will want to read this over and over again.&rdquo;&mdash;Booklist (Starred Review)&#160;&ldquo;&hellip;a gloriously unnerving tale of monsters, sinkholes, witches, and yearning teenage dreams. Within the horror plot lives a touching tale of friendship, choices, grief, and empowering rage, with a female-centered queer and diverse cast of characters.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)

Dr. Siegel offers us an abundance of exercises, transformative practices, and the skillful means to live a mindful life of conscious awareness and meaningful connection. I applaud and recommend his unique perspective, gleaned from a life of meditation and psychotherapeutic practice and research. This wonderful book is a real contribution to the field of happiness studies and spiritual development.--Lama Surya Das, author of Awakening the Buddha WithinTalk of 'mindfulness' brings up images of monks spending years on end doing something mysterious. But Dr. Siegel shows how to bring the simple wisdom of acceptance and mindfulness into the everyday actions of ordinary living. Gentle, genuine, and wise, this book coaxes, cajoles, and guides the reader into looking with clear eyes at how we humans get in our own way, and provides simple, powerful, step-by-step methods for learning how to live the kind of lives we want.--Steven C. Hayes, PhD, author of Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your LifeDown-to-earth and helpful, Dr. Siegel offers genuinely practical training in the transformative art of mindfulness.--Jack Kornfield, PhD, author of The Wise HeartThis clear and practical guide can help you discover your own potential to develop mindfulness.

Segal, PhD, coauthor of The Mindful Way through Depression-The direct and readable style of The Mindfulness Solution quickly engaged me. The book has a manual-type format that may be followed by anyone wanting to teach themselves how to establish a mindfulness practice from first principles, along with plenty of new ideas and in-depth exploration to interest experienced practitioners....This wise book offers a fresh and helpful approach to both people who want to begin to practise mindfulness and to those with an already established practise.--Healthcare, Counselling, and Psychotherapy Journal, 11/11/2009ƒƒThe style is engaging and chatty, and the author recounts some surprisingly personal anecdotes. This makes the book easy to read....The practical advice...is extremely thorough and clearly draws on the author's extensive personal and clinical experience of mindfulness practice. It is full of useful tips....Each chapter ends with advice on seeking further help, and with a menu of suggested practices....This thorough menu of practices for different circumstances is where the book will be most useful to clinicians; for clients, its highlight may be the accompanying website with audio versions of many of the practices.--The Psychologist, 11/11/2009ƒƒOffers strategies and practical solutions so that both formal and informal  practices can be integrated into a person's routine, customized for their particular set of circumstances. It is a self-help book that comes with a web link to downloadable audio recordings of Dr. Siegel guiding  practices....This is a friendly and useful resource for people interested in exploring the concept of  as a way to better their mental or physical health. I think it also has some valuable ideas for the therapist who is interested in integrating some of the explanations and exercises with his or her client....I had never thought before about how one could incorporate  practice as part of individual therapy. I appreciated the examples throughout the book to see how a therapist could work individually with a client by building a tailored toolkit for that client's preferences.--Mindfulness, 11/11/2009

Praise for&#160;Lehrter Station"Outstanding . . . Philip Kerr and Alan Furst fans will be pleased."&mdash;Publishers Weekly, Starred Review"Downing is a master at work."&mdash;Huffington Post UK"Powerfully and skillfully written, with constant suspense and sudden  surprises of satisfaction, Lehrter Station is one of the vital 2012  books that I'd pack for a desert island&mdash;or a beach vacation, or a  rainy weekend."&mdash;Kingdom BooksPraise for the John Russell series"Epic in scope, Mr. Downing's "Station" cycle creates a fictional universe rich with a historian's expertise but rendered with literary style and heart."&mdash;The Wall Street Journal"John Russell has always been in the thick of things in David Downing&rsquo;s  powerful historical novels set largely in Berlin . . . Downing provides  no platform for debate in this unsentimental novel, leaving his hero to  ponder the ethics of his pragmatic choices while surveying the ground  level horrors to be seen in Berlin.&rdquo;&mdash;The New York Times Book Review&ldquo;Reminiscent  of Woody Allen&rsquo;s&#160;Zelig, Russell, the hero of Downing&rsquo;s espionage  series, can&rsquo;t seem to resist inserting himself into climactic moments of  the 20th century . . . Downing has been classed in the elite company of  literary spy masters&#160;Alan Furst&#160;and Philip Kerr . . . That flattering  comparison is generally justified. If Downing is light on character  study, he&rsquo;s brilliant at evoking even the smallest details of wartime  Berlin on its last legs . . . Given the limited cast of characters,  Downing must draw on almost Dickensian reserves of coincidences and  close calls to sustain the suspense of his basic hide-and-seek story  line. That he does ingeniously. It helps to read Downing&rsquo;s novels in  order, but if Potsdam Station is your first foray into Russell&rsquo;s  escapades, be forewarned that you may soon feel compelled to undertake a  literary reconnaissance mission to retrieve and read the earlier  books.&rdquo;&mdash;Washington Post&ldquo;The echo of the Allied bombings  and the crash of the boots of the invading Russians permeate the pages  in which David Downing vividly does justice to the drama . . . The book is a  reminder of what happened and those who allowed it to happen . . . The book  lives up to the others in the Russell series, serving as yet one more  reminder of a world too many have entirely forgotten.&rdquo;&mdash;Washington Times&ldquo;Downing  is brilliant at weaving history and fiction, and this plot, with its  twists and turns&mdash;all under the terrible bombardment of Berlin and the  Third Reich&rsquo;s death throes&mdash;is as suspenseful as they come. The end, with  another twist, is equally clever and unexpected.&rdquo;&mdash;Toronto Globe and Mail

Sonam Kachru's volume provides a philosophically profound and philologically rigorous analysis of Vasubandhu's concept of mind as inextricably tangled with the concept of world and other forms of life. The outcome is intellectually stunning. Kachru's account of Vasubandhu's notion of intentionality is revisionary, and his reconstruction of the deep context of his thought—showing Buddhist cosmology to be both philosophically valuable and necessary—will change the way we approach these materials in the future.

There are at least a dozen books that distinguish themselves by offering a broad perspective on the undertaking. The starting point has to be Mike Shatzkin's (and [Robert] Riger's) The Book Business: What Everyone Needs to Know... It's intended to be breezy—'a succinct and insightful survey of the industry in an easy-to-read question-and-answer format.' It succeeds.

&#9733; "In a field filled with gendered books about toilet training, this refreshing title stands out by encouraging all children to see pooping, and by extension the use of the potty, as a universal, cross-gender, interspecies need. . . .&#160;An excellent first purchase for anyone looking to expand their potty learning collection&rdquo;&mdash;School Library Journal, Starred Review  "Addressing audiences still in or recently out of diapers, Meisel emits an elemental info dump based on the notion that every creature poops somewhere. . . . Following views of discreetly posed children sitting on toilets that are billed as, parenthetically, the place to pee, too, he closes with a deposit of facts about what poop is, how much of it elephants can produce (300 pounds a day!), and other nuggets of natural history."&mdash;Booklist  "A parade of animals pooping in their natural habitats leads to human toddlers proudly sitting on the potty. . . . In all, eighteen smiling creatures from a variety of habitats poop on uncluttered pages. A simple line of text accompanies each cheery illustration. . . . Everyone Poops will always be number one, but You Poop Here is a solid number two."&mdash;The Horn Book"While potty books abound, Meisel&rsquo;s stands out in its unvarnished directness and respect, simple words and pictures speaking directly at the level of young children. . . .

Sosipatra of Pergamum offers a compelling biography of one of Late Antiquity's most enigmatic and mysterious women. Marx probes deeply into the ancient sources for Sosipatra and her time, peeling back their layers to reveal a dynamic and charismatic female philosopher who inspired her students while offering a pagan alternative to Christian ideas about how holy women should behave. This book is a model for how one can understand the impact of poorly
documented figures whose lives and legacies resonated greatly.
