Описание: The simultaneous emergence of the serial killer and the assembly line as expressions of the rationality of modern production methods.

In 1896, at the age of 35, Henry Howard Holmes, whose real name was Herman Webster Mudget, became the first serial killer in the United States, confessing to dozens of crimes. To carry out his activities quietly, he built in Chicago a building so vast that his neighbors called it the Ch teau. Located just a stones throw from the most sophisticated slaughterhouses in the world, lethal, practical, and comfortable, Holmess building was equipped with the latest innovations. A rational, cozy masterpiece of crime dressed in slippers, Holmess project fit perfectly into the functionalist project of the modern world.

In The Murder Factory, Alexandra Midal examines the almost simultaneous emergence of the industrial revolution and the figure of the serial killer. Far from being a coincidence, it marks the rationality of new production methods--of which the assembly line and serial murder are two expressions. In the Holmes case, an antihero of modern history can shed light on the treatment of living things brought about by this economic, mechanical, and cultural revolution.

H. H. Holmess confessions, published in the Philadelphia Enquirer just before his execution in April 1896, follow Midals text.

Описание: A counterhistory and new historiography of design.

In Design by Accident, Alexandra Midal declares the autonomy of design, in and on its own terms. This meticulously researched work proposes not only a counterhistory but a new historiography of design, shedding light on overlooked historical landmarks and figures while reevaluating the legacies of design's established luminaries from the nineteenth century to the present. Midal rejects both linear narratives of progress and the long-held perception of design as a footnote to the histories of fine art and architecture. By weaving critical analysis of the canon of design history and theory together, with special attention to the writings of designers themselves, she draws out the nuances and radical potentials of the discipline--from William Morris's ambivalence toward industry, to Catharine Beecher's proto-feminist household appliances, to the Bauhaus's Expressionist origins, and the influence of Herbert Marcuse on Joe Colombo.

Описание: Ch gyam Trungpa is virtually synonymous with the transmission of Tibetan Buddhism to the West. Over the course of his seventeen-year teaching career in North America, Trungpa ushered in a radically new approach to spirituality--both rooted in the ancient wisdom of the buddhadharma and thoroughly situated in the contemporary world. His teachings, grounded in what he called the "Shambhala vision," focused on the development of an enlightened society through the transformation of ordinary, everyday life into sacred activity.

Steering between Western biography and traditional Tibetan hagiography, Fabrice Midal takes you on a soaring journey through Trungpa's life and teachings. Touching on all of the most momentous events, this series of glimpses into Ch gyam Trungpa's world provides a rare view on the formation of Trungpa's thought and the remarkable body of teachings and writings that remain as his legacy. Included are accounts of:

- Ch gyam Trungpa's education in Tibet under the tutelage of great tantric masters, like Jamg n Kongtr l of Sechen and Khenpo Gangshar
- The founding of landmark centers for Buddhist practice and education, such as the Naropa Institute (now Naropa University), Karm Ch ling, and the Rocky Mountain Dharma Center (now the Shambhala Mountain Center)
- Trungpa's historic meeting with the sixteenth Gyalwa Karmapa in 1974, the first-ever visit of the Karmapa to America
- Behind-the-scenes stories of Trungpa's most treasured writings, including Meditation in Action, Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism, and Shambhala: The Sacred Path of the Warrior
- And much more

Описание: It's time to stop giving a sh*t

Be calm... Stop stressing... Embrace the universe... Try yoga... Be fulfilled... and that's an order We're overwhelmed with these sorts of commands, and we often torture ourselves to "try harder," yet somehow we never feel we've done quite enough. It's about time we stop pushing ourselves to do what we think we're supposed to do, and instead simply allow ourselves to be angry, be tired, be silly, be passionate--to stop giving a shit, and just be.

An international bestseller (now in English for the first time), The French Art of Not Giving a Sh*t by Fabrice Midal explains why the key to true mindfulness is freeing ourselves from social and often self-imposed stresses -- and highlights how we can embrace life more fully by giving ourselves a break. He gives readers permission to:

Stop obeying -- you are intelligent
Stop being calm -- be at peace
Stop wanting to be perfect -- accept life's storms
Stop rationalizing -- let things be
Stop comparing -- be you
Stop being ashamed -- be vulnerable
Stop tormenting yourself -- become your own best friend
Stop wanting to love -- be benevolent

One of the world's leading teachers of meditation and mindfulness, Midal offers us a new solution to the perennial problem of our too-much, too-fast modern life. It's OK, he urges us, to say no. It's fine to quit the things that don't fulfill you. It's necessary, in fact, to give ourselves a break and say, simply, c'est la vie. In The French Art of Not Giving a Sh*t, Midal gives each of us permission to stop doing the things that don't make us happy ... so we have room in our lives for the things that do.
