This book contains the collected posthumous papers of the English monk-scholar Nyanamoli, who counts as one of the foremost translators of Pali Buddhist texts into English. Besides being a gifted translator Nyanamoli was also a gifted thinker, philosopher, and poet. Besides some longer essays, most of the notes are only one paragraph long and were written in the 1950s as a Buddhist monk. The notes and essays deal with profound topics such as ontology, metaphysics, nuclear physics, logic, but there is also humour, irony, sarcasm and light poetry. Four essays were earlier published in a Wheel Publication no. 52/53, Pathways of Buddhist Thought.

This book presents a biographical history of the field of systems thinking, by examining the life and work of thirty of its major thinkers. It discusses each thinker’s key contributions, the way this contribution was expressed in practice and the relationship between their life and ideas. This discussion is supported by an extract from the thinker’s own writing, to give a flavour of their work and to give readers a sense of which thinkers are most relevant to their own interests.

For all his distance from philosophy, Dostoevsky was one of the most philosophical of writers. Drawing on his novels, essays, letters and notebooks, this volume examines Dostoevsky's philosophical thought.

This book introduces twelve key Christians from the second and third centuries, a formative period for the Church. These figures are: Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, Tatian, Theophilus of Antioch, Clement of Alexandria, Tertullian, Perpetua, Origen, Hippolytus, Cyprian, Gregory Thaumaturgos and Eusebius. Each chapter is self-contained and requires no preliminary knowledge of the figure under discussion, making this an ideal book for laity and for undergraduates studying Christian origins or Patristics.

Ye Ole Thinker Manual may help you live longer, improve your sex life, make you more independent, give you power and happiness, put self-respect, success, and truth back into your life, give you irreplaceable knowledge and tell you what's for supper! As a matter of fact, no matter what you want or need; you're more likely to get it if you're healthy. All Thinker lives are driven by the condition of their model. You cannot imagine what a powerful determinant health is, until you lose it. You may feel daring, carefree or even angry when you say "I don't care if what I eat is unhealthy; I have to die from something anyway." Are you willing to run around to the other side of that thought and look at it from a different angle? All Thinkers are destined to die at some point. But why spend the rest of your short life destroying the vehicle in which you travel? Healing is not rare. It happens every day. It's a fact that you create your own health (or lack of it) every day. Because we Thinkers, despite our delusions of grandeur, are vessels full of nothing but water, electricity, math, chemistry and bugs. You feel the way you feel because of them. Fortunately, you can control your water, electricity, math, chemistry and bugs by what you eat, drink, breathe, and think. If you want to make your life better in any way; eat, drink, breathe and think in better ways. Maybe you don't need to be afraid of what's going on inside of your model any more. Maybe it's time you peeked behind your walls of misconceptions, ignorance and stubbornness. Maybe it isn't really cute, popular or smart to ignore the incredible machine that allows you to live. Maybe it's time to grow up and stopping pleasuring yourself to death with food. Maybe it's time to change your deadly thoughts and habits. Maybe your young will thrive and excel when they are fed only nutrient-dense foods. Maybe the magic of food will work for you. Ye Ole Thinker Manual introduces you to The 100 Perfect Foods which will keep your model running like a well-oiled machine and help you in hundreds of ways without causing harm. The 100 Perfect Foods can be purchased from just 6-8 aisles in your local grocery store, are cheaper than unhealthy foods, and can easily be used to create thousands of yummy recipes. No dieting! No measuring! No calorie counting! No meetings! No weighing (you or the food)! No recipes! Ye Ole Thinker Manual will introduce you to the story of Lilly the Liver.

It will require practice, patience and pondering. If you're interested in saving your own race; you'll have to start with yourself. It's tempting to look for someone else to save.
