Counterpoint A Memoir of Bach and Mourning
Type : epub |
Size : 428.31 KB |
English |
Descirption: A Pulitzer Prize-winning critic reflects on the meaning and emotional impact of a Bach masterwork.
As his mother was dying, Philip Kennicott began to listen to the music of Bach obsessively. It was the only music that didn't seem trivial or irrelevant, and it enabled him to both experience her death and remove himself from it. For him, Bach's music held the elements of both joy and despair, life and its inevitable end. He spent the next five years trying to learn one of the composer's greatest keyboard masterpieces, the Goldberg Variations. In Counterpoint, he recounts his efforts to rise to the challenge, and to fight through his grief by coming to terms with his memories of a difficult, complicated childhood.
He describes the joys of mastering some of the piano pieces, the frustrations that plague his understanding of others, the technical challenges they pose, and the surpassing beauty of the melodies, harmonies, and counterpoint that...

Golden Gates Fighting for Housing and Democracy in America's Most Prosperous Cities
Type : epub |
Size : 1014.57 KB |
English |
Descirption: [b]A stunning, deeply reported investigation into the housing crisis [/b]
Cities are the engines of economic progress and the places that give birth to ideas that shape our lives. For generations, arriving in a major city was the first step toward the American Dream. But as housing costs skyrocket in cities across the nation, that door to opportunity is swinging shut.
No place has felt this more acutely than San Francisco, where the mansions of tech billionaires stand streets away from encampments of cardboard. With riveting block-by-block reporting, New York Times reporter Conor Dougherty parses the history and economic forces that underlie the crisis from its epicenter. Still, as rising rents and home prices have spread across the country, massive movements against single-family zoning and for tenants' rights have followed.
The potent forces of racism have long shaped the narrative of home ownership in this country. Today, as we grapple with that legacy,...

Here for It Or, How to Save Your Soul in America; Essays

Descirption: From the creator of Elle's "Eric Reads the Ne," a heartfelt and hilarious memoir-in-essays about growing up seeing the world differently, finding unexpected hope, and experiencing every awkward, extraordinary stumble along the way.
"Pop culture-obsessed, Sedaris-level laugh-out-loud funny . . . R. Eric Thomas is one of my favorite writers."-Lin-Manuel Miranda, Entertainment Weekly
R. Eric Thomas didn't know he was different until the world told him so. Everywhere he went-whether it was his rich, mostly white, suburban high college, his conservative black church, or his Ivy League college in a big city-he found himself on the outside looking in.
In essays by turns hysterical and heartfelt, Eric redefines what it means to be an "other" through the lens of his own life experience. He explores the two worlds of his childhood: the barren urban landscape where his parents' house was an anomalous bright spot, and the verdant...

India in the Persianate Age 1000 1765 [True EPUB]
Type : epub |
Size : 26.18 MB |
English |
Descirption: A sweeping, magisterial new history of India from the middle ages to the arrival of the British
The Indian subcontinent might seem a self-contained world. Protected by vast mountains and seas, it has created its own religions, philosophies and social systems. And yet this ancient land experienced prolonged and intense interaction with the peoples and cultures of East and Southeast Asia, Europe, Africa and, especially, Central Asia and the Iranian plateau between the eleventh and eighteenth centuries.
Richard M. Eaton's wonderful new book tells this extraordinary story with relish and originality. His major theme is the rise of 'Persianate' culture - a many-faceted transregional world informed by a canon of texts that circulated through ever-widening networks across much of Asia. Introduced to India in the eleventh century by dynasties based in eastern Afghanistan, this culture would become thoroughly indigenized by the time of the great Mughals in the...

Introduction to Tantra The Transformation of Desire
Type : epub |
Size : 1.71 MB |
English |
Descirption: What is tantra? Who is qualified to practice it? How should it be practiced? What are the results? According to Buddhism, every human being has the potential to achieve profound and lasting happiness. And according to the tantric teachings of Buddhism, this remarkable transformation can be realized very quickly if we utilize all aspects of our human energy - especially the energy of our desires.
Introduction to Tantra is the best available clarification of a subject that is often misunderstood. This new edition of this classic text includes a new foreword by Philip Glass and a new cover design, but leaves untouched Lama Yeshe's excellent original text, edited by Jonathan Landaw.
Tantra recognizes that the powerful energy aroused by our desire is an indispensable resource for the spiritual path. It is precisely because our lives are so inseparably linked with desire that we must make use of desire's tremendous energy not just for pleasure, but to transform our...
