Описание: On the 100th anniversary of The Volstead Act taking effect comes the epic, definitive story of the man who cracked the Prohibition system and helped inspire The Great Gatsby." Batchelor] makes this flashy bootlegger sound like a folk hero...Behold the king." --New York Times Book Review"It's all here: murder, mayhem--and high-priced hooch." --David Pietrusza, author of 1920 In October 1919, Congress gave teeth to Prohibition. But the law didn't stop George Remus from amassing a fortune equivalent to billions today. As one journalist put it, "Remus was to bootlegging what Rockefeller was to oil." The Bourbon King breathes life into America's largest illegal booze operation--greater than that of Al Capone--and a man considered the best criminal defense lawyer of his era. Remus cracked the system by purchasing an empire of distilleries on Kentucky's "Bourbon Trail" and using his other profession, as a pharmacist, to profit off legal loopholes. He stole, bribed, and partied, a roaring lifestyle epitomizing the Jazz Age over which he ruled. That is, before he came crashing down in one of American history's most sensational murder cases in: a cheating wife, the G-man who seduced her and jailed Remus, and the plunder of a Bourbon Empire. Remus murdered his wife in cold blood and then shocked a nation, winning his freedom based on a condition he invented--temporary maniacal insanity. Love, murder, political intrigue, mountains of cash, and rivers of bourbon...the tale of George Remus is a grand spectacle, and a lens into the dark heart of Prohibition and the mastermind behind one of its richest rackets. "Larger-than-life characters take the reins of this story, a rip-roaring good time for any American history buff or true-crime fan." --Publishers Weekly, starred review

Описание: Using both analytic and elementary methods, this book presents many old and new theorems, including several of the authors` results, and many examples of extremal behaviour of g-number systems. The authors also give detailed accounts of the $L^2$ PNT theorem of J.P. Kahane and of the example created with H.L. Montgomery, showing that additive structure is needed for proving the Riemann hypothesis.

Описание:
In Penny Candy and Other Stories, Trisha Batchelorexploits the strengths of a literary form rarely published today--the short story. The title story captures the longing of a child affected by her father's absence. In "More Than Lovely" two families though divided along class lines are bonded by a long-hidden secret. "Righteous" explores the familial entanglements that can exist within small towns and how seemingly irreparable mistakes can be made right. In "Millie's Song," a young woman emerges intact from a life of recklessness through an unexpected divine alliance. "Paul and Silas" shows how tragedy can force us to face our past. "Jealousy" depicts the connection between siblings in a family fractured by their transient fathers. In "The Station" reality is questioned through the mysterious journey of a group of strangers.
With insight and sensitivity, Batchelor addresses in these seven stories the themes of redemption, matters of the heart, and how the vulnerable extend love within complex family systems.

Описание: Can anyone ever truly capture someone else's passion? Lois Batchelor Howard has done just that. With keen insight, she vividly captures and expresses human emotions in her story of Gus, the kidnapper, and the two women he captures to be with him in his castle. Adrianna is an artist, Belle a musician. It is a postwar saga set in the 1940s Los Angeles and an island in Hawaii, a vital part of the story. There never is a dull moment. How it involves Auschwitz and becomes a love story of three different couples will steal your heart. Jack K. Paquette, whose books include A Boy's Journey Through the Great Depression, expresses that he has long been entranced by the piquant writings of Lois Batchelor Howard, finding them thought-stirring, often invigorating, and ever a delight to read. Ursula K. Le Guin, a prolific author, inferred in her Dancing at the Edge of the World that readers are vital. Reading, they bring the words to life and the story then lives.

Описание:
What is this? Ancient questions for modern minds presents talks given by Martine and Stephen Batchelor during a Sŏn (Chan/Zen) retreat in England in 2016. Leading us through the practice of radical questioning at the heart of this Korean Buddhist tradition, the authors show how anyone at all can benefit from this form of radical inquiry today.
These talks demonstrate clearly how a practice with origins in China a thousand years ago can meld with insights from the natural sciences, classical and modern western philosophy, Romantic poetry, and early Buddhism. The reader can use this book as a companion in facing the challenge of living a fully human life in our complex contemporary world, or as a practice manual, or both.
Stephen Batchelor is a writer, teacher and artist. He trained as a Sŏn monk in Korea for four years. He is the author of Buddhism without beliefs, After Buddhism and, most recently, Secular Buddhism. He is a co-founder of Bodhi College.
Martine Batchelor lived as a Sŏn nun in Korea for ten years. She is author of Meditation for life, The path of compassion, Women in Korean Zen and Let go. Her most recent book is The spirit of the Buddha.
Martine and Stephen have taught at Gaia House since 1986. They live in southwest France, and conduct seminars and retreats worldwide.
