In Quest of Nirvana: The Poetics of Empathy This is a gem of a poetry collection; the poet's use of word sounds and imagery, subtext and symbolism, metaphor and meaning rhythm and rhyme is scintillating. The Poet gifts to us his own very different brand of poetics opening his floodgates with an eclectic assortment of ideas and thoughts that engage psychology and philosophy, ethics and social and political dystrophy. The 21st century mind and the nature of existence is at the heart of the book. where do we find purpose? Our sense of self and sense of place. His poems weave a tapestry that has the potential to change outlooks on ourselves and our humanity through engaged thought. 'In Quest of Nirvana: The Poetics of Empathy' is stimulating work by London performance poet Ishinga Alexis. The pieces are themed around his engagement and observations navigating the pandemic of diseases of despair that provide the substratum of our being as 21st century individuals and peoples. Diseases from apathy to psychopathy, anxiety to angst, guilt, shame and fear Ishinga paints his montage in storms of words that flow, often with a vengeance, in a poetic philosophical deluge in search of answers to the angst and destructive intent. Ishinga approaches this task with poetic gusto. The poems are crafted to cause you to pause and confront yourself with your own mindfulness and will yourself to contextualize the neurosis and psychosis, the attendant conflict and control with a view to better navigate the land mines and remain spiritually intact, and survive what Ishinga presents as a crisis of truth spurned by the death of empathy and loss of integrity and the bamboozlement over the world's failure to understand the universality of spirituality. Ishinga attends to thorns such as continuous war, global tribalism, grotesque global and national inequality, the unabated destruction of earth the death of privacy, and the evisceration of spirituality. He does so in a hopeful search for healing and change to attune our estrangement from ourselves and each other and transmogrify into a sublime empathy. 'In Quest of Nirvana: The Poetics of Empathy' seeks through poetics of symbolism, metaphor, imagery, and word sound to confront the dissonance and return our spirits to a 'good place' by shedding light sowing seeds of contemplation to stir mindfulness. The poems dig deep down into the viscera of our zeitgeist and through unconcealment endeavours to wipe away the disorientation alienation and obfuscation with poetics. In so doing Ishinga seeks to dissipate the clouds of absurdities that denudes our psyches and disrupts the cathartic flow of our emotional energy. Truly evocative stuff. This is a stunning book; I firmly suggest you place it in your Treasure Island collection. So kindly scroll back up and hit that buy button.

The definitive biography of the revolutionary band Nirvana and its star-crossed frontman Kurt Cobain, hailed by Rolling Stone as “the first [book] to comprehensively tell the band’s tale from Aberdeen, Wash., to world domination” “Amazingly raw and candid . . . an unsparing and extremely honest depiction of the group’s highly tumultuous history . . . Come As You Are is as good as rock bios get.”—Billboard “Just tell the truth. That’ll be better than anything else that’s been written about me.”—Kurt Cobain Nirvana came out of nowhere in 1991 to sell nearly five million copies of their landmark album Nevermind, whose thunderous sound and indelible melodies embodied all the confusion, frustration, and passion of the emerging Generation X. Come As You Are is the close-up, intimate story of Nirvana—the only book with exclusive in-depth interviews with bandmembers Kurt Cobain, Krist Noveselic, and Dave Grohl, as well as friends, relatives, former bandmembers, and associates—now updated to include a final chapter detailing the last year of Kurt Cobain's life, before his tragic suicide in April 1994. Vivid, evocative, and thought-provoking, Come As You Are is an essential document not just for Nirvana fans but for anyone interested in the cultural legacy of the 1990s.

Finalist for the National Book Award for Nonfiction * New York Times Bestseller * A Huffington Post Notable Nonfiction Book of the Year * One of the Best Books of the Month on Goodreads * Library Journal Best Sci-Tech Book of the Year * An American Library Association Notable Book of the Year “Sy Montgomery’s The Soul of an Octopus does for the creature what Helen Macdonald’s H Is for Hawk did for raptors.” —New Statesman, UK “One of the best science books of the year.” —Science Friday, NPR Another New York Times bestseller from the author of The Good Good Pig, this “fascinating…touching…informative…entertaining” (The Daily Beast) book explores the emotional and physical world of the octopus—a surprisingly complex, intelligent, and spirited creature—and the remarkable connections it makes with humans. In pursuit of the wild, solitary, predatory octopus, popular naturalist Sy Montgomery has practiced true immersion journalism. From New England aquarium tanks to the reefs of French Polynesia and the Gulf of Mexico, she has befriended octopuses with strikingly different personalities—gentle Athena, assertive Octavia, curious Kali, and joyful Karma. Each creature shows her cleverness in myriad ways: escaping enclosures like an orangutan; jetting water to bounce balls; and endlessly tricking companions with multiple “sleights of hand” to get food. Scientists have only recently accepted the intelligence of dogs, birds, and chimpanzees but now are watching octopuses solve problems and are trying to decipher the meaning of the animal’s color-changing techniques. With her “joyful passion for these intelligent and fascinating creatures” (Library Journal Editors’ Spring Pick), Montgomery chronicles the growing appreciation of this mollusk as she tells a unique love story. By turns funny, entertaining, touching, and profound, The Soul of an Octopus reveals what octopuses can teach us about the meeting of two very different minds.

Here is the first biography to explore, with unflinching and shocking detail, the drama that formed this troubled, tragic rock star. Neither an apology nor a condemnation, it presents a vivid insider's view of the life and death of a man who galvanized a generation and gave birth to the "grunge" revolution. Sandford portrays the provocative, small-town rebel with the talent of a John Lennon, and then shows him at work on concert stages in Seattle, New York, and London. Readers follow the struggles of Cobain's emotional life - his tumultuous relationships with family and the band members in Nirvana, his drug addiction and sexual appetite, his stormy marriage to Courtney Love, and the birth of his daughter who, as Cobain wrote in his suicide note, "reminds me too much of who I used to be". During his research, Christopher Sandford has had access to Cobain's family, his colleagues, Charles Peterson (whose photos Cobain credited with popularizing grunge), his former friends and lovers, and even the author William S. Burroughs, whom Cobain considered to be his own "greatest influence". The result is a graphic account of the life that led to that final day in April 1994, when Cobain turned a shotgun on himself and became a martyr to disaffected youth around the world.

A holistic, positive answer to modernist and post-modernist challenges to Christian faith. Recent trends in theology have adapted to what has been assumed to be universally valid scientific thinking, thereby contributing to the erosion of traditional protestant belief. Pointing to parable as a tool of understanding and appealing to aesthetic appreciation as an analogy, the author makes an impassioned call for a return to an assured biblical faith. The answer lies in a fuller epistemology and a profounder ontology to explain the universe and man’s place in it.

The very idea that the teachings can be mastered will arouse controversy within Buddhist circles. Even so, Ingram insists that enlightenment is an attainable goal, once our fanciful notions of it are stripped away, and we have learned to use meditation as a method for examining reality rather than an opportunity to wallow in self-absorbed mind-noise. Ingram sets out concisely the difference between concentration-based and insight (vipassana) meditation; he provides example practices; and most importantly he presents detailed maps of the states of mind we are likely to encounter, and the stages we must negotiate as we move through clearly-defined cycles of insight. Its easy to feel overawed, at first, by Ingram's assurance and ease in the higher levels of consciousness, but consistently he writes as a down-to-earth and compassionate guide, and to the practitioner willing to commit themselves this is a glittering gift of a book.In this new edition of the bestselling book, the author rearranges, revises and expands upon the original material, as well as adding new sections that bring further clarity to his ideas.
