Window of the Soul

The Kabbalah of Rabbi Isaac Luria

By: James David Dunn

Some four hundred years before Albert Einstein proposed his theory of relativity of the outer universe to the scientific community, a rabbi named Isaac Luria (1534–1572) passed his theory of the inner universe and its evolution to his students. With vision given only to the most gifted of kabbalistic mystics, Luria explained the inner worlds of the spirit and of the evolution that led to the ultimate birth of our cosmos. In a selection of passages from Luria’s Kabbalah that is both universal and stand-alone in transcendental value, Professor James Dunn presents, for the very first time, the essence of the great rabbi’s teachings. According to Luria, the ultimate calling in this lifetime or in future lifetimes is to reharmonize (and hence remove) inherent imperfections through proper heart, and the teachings presented here have just this aim: to help “heal the broken vessel of the world” (tikkun olam). We all long to be healed and whole, and here scholars and lay people alike will find the wisdom they seek.

Illegal Procedure

A Sports Agent Comes Clean on the Dirty Business of College Football

By: Josh Luchs,James Dale

Former sports agent Luchs pulls back the curtain on the real economy of college football: how agents win players legally and otherwise, the staggering sums colleges make from a unpaid workforce, the shortfalls of supposed full-ride scholarships, and the myth of a college education given to scholarship jocks.

By: Gilad James, PhD

Bruce Willis is an American actor, producer, and musician who remains one of the most popular and enduring action movie stars in Hollywood. Born on March 19, 1955, in Idar-Oberstein, West Germany, Willis’s family returned to New Jersey when he was two years old. After high school, he worked as a security guard and private investigator before moving to New York City to pursue an acting career. He found success in the off-Broadway theater and eventually landed his breakout role as detective David Addison Jr. in the TV series Moonlighting (1985-1989). Willis’s film career took off in the late 1980s with his starring role as John McClane in the blockbuster Die Hard (1988). He went on to star in numerous other action movies, often displaying his trademark dry wit and tough-guy persona. He has received critical acclaim for his dramatic work as well, including his role as a troubled Vietnam veteran in Norman Jewison’s In Country (1989) and his Golden Globe-winning turn as an alcoholic writer in The Sixth Sense (1999). Willis has also dabbled in music, releasing several albums and performing with his band, The Accelerators. Today, he continues to act and produce films while also remaining a popular cultural figure. Overall Bruce Willis has carved out one of the most successful careers in Hollywood. With a career spanning over four decades, Willis has starred in over 70 films, with many of his iconic roles now considered to be among the best action movies ever made. His ability to blend tough guy characteristics with a charming wit and intelligent humor has kept audiences both entertained and on the edge of their seats for years. In addition to his film work, Willis has also demonstrated his abilities as a producer, co-founding the production company Cheyenne Enterprises in 2000. He has also made occasional appearances on television and stage while indulging his passions for wine and music.

Daily Life through Trade

Buying and Selling in World History

By: James M. Anderson

Trade has long been—and will continue to be—a driving force that shapes our world. This book documents the tremendous importance of trade throughout history and its influence toward peaceful coexistence among nations. From ancient to modern times, trade has played an integral role in connecting disparate cultures and places on the earth—indeed, the existence of commercial trade across human civilization means that "globalization" is hardly a recent phenomenon or trend. Daily Life through Trade: Buying and Selling in World History documents how the importance of trade has made it the catalyst for migration, exploration, cultural interchange, and unfortunately, conflict and war throughout history. Author James M. Anderson describes the history of trade and traders' lives, examining how commerce had important consequences in various regions of the world and addressing a wide range of topics, such as fair trade, the World Trade Organization, and the role of trade in sparking world wars. The book's coverage ranges from the earliest times to the present day, and serves not only as an excellent general reference for history students and general readers, but also as valuable supplementary reading for those enrolled in courses in economics and business.

1000 Facts about Horror Movies

By: James Egan

Half of 28 Days Later had to be scrapped due to a plothole. The Exorcist prequel was so bad, the entire film was reshot from start to finish. This is the only time this has happened in cinematic history. The director of Get Out shot scenes while doing the voice of Barack Obama and Forest Whitaker. An American Werewolf in London was the first film ever to win an Oscar for its makeup. It only took eight days to shoot The Blair Witch Project. The plot of Final Destination was meant to be used for an episode of The X-Files. Mel Brooks didn't tell anybody he produced The Fly because he was worried people would think the film was a comedy. The inventor, Thomas Edison produced the first Frankenstein film. A Nightmare on Elm Street 2 is very popular with the LGBTQ community.

Romanticism in American Theology

Nevin and Schaff at Mercersburg

By: James Hastings Nichols

This is a study of religious thought and life in America in the generation before the Civil War. It focuses on Nevin and Schaff, who pioneered in America the theological reinterpretations stimulated by German idealism in philosophy and the new theories of historical development. They were also spokesmen of the romantic interest in Christian traditions, community, and sacraments and in this interest opposed the antihistorical individualism predominant in American religion. Charles Hodge, Orestes Brownson, Horace Bushnell, R. J. Wilberforce, and the American Lutherans all debated with them. Nevin and Schaff were the chief nineteenth-century American prophets of the contemporary ecumenical movement.

The Shanghai Cooperation Organization and Conflict De-escalation

Trust Building and Interstate Rivalries

By: James MacHaffie

This book’s main objective is to determine the role, if any, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) plays in de-escalating tensions among its members. It argues that the SCO is uniquely suited to keep its disparate members, many of whom have border disputes with each other, from escalating tensions among themselves. The book proposes a rivalry de-escalation model that differs from the standard belief that rivalries de-escalate due to a shock or external pressure. This model states that trust can be built between two rival states when confidence-building measures are instilled and utilized repeatedly over a long period of time. The SCO provides these mechanisms in the form of annual summits between state leaders and routine military exercises involving military units from every member. Examining three case studies involving the founding six members of the organization, the book argues that the SCO is effective in keeping rivalries de-escalated among its members. This book will be of much interest to students of Asian politics, regional security, and international relations.

The Joy of Duty

Human Happiness and Ethical Obligation

By: James Dillon

A corporate executive is miserable and seeks the help of a psychotherapist. A college student is unhappy in her current major and goes to her academic advisor. A married couple struggles with discord and seeks the help of a licensed counsellor. In each case, the diagnosis and prescription will likely be the same: you are miserable because you are not doing what you want. Your path to happiness thus lies in figuring out what you enjoy doing, coming up with a strategy to satisfy these desires, and then executing your plan. This is the standard approach to happiness used in much of today’s counselling and psychotherapeutic practice. The Socratic, Stoic, and Confucian philosophical traditions tell a different story: you are miserable because you are not doing what you must. Through historical and contemporary case studies, analyses of key novels, reviews of modern psychological research, interviews with struggling people, and close readings of philosophical texts, The Joy of Duty illuminates the intimate connection between human joy and the performance of ethical obligation.

The Naval History of Great Britain: 1811-1827

By: William James

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Naval History of Great Britain: 1811-1827

By: William James

William M. James's Naval History is one of the most valuable works in the English language on the operation of the Royal Navy during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. James corresponded widely with the survivors of the events he describes. By carefully evaluating and balancing conflicting reports and testimonies, he achieved an accuracy often lacking in later studies. The original five volumes were published in 1822 to 1824, with a six-volume edition appearing in 1826. This new hard-cover edition, with an introduction by the noted naval historian Andrew Lambert as well as an index for each volume, provides both scholars and maritime enthusiasts an accessible and affordable edition of this important work. Volume V features the 1808-1811 operations of the Royal Navy in the Mediterranean and Baltic seas, as well as its involvement in the Peninsular War. In Volume VI, the United States enters the war at sea, and the 1811-1827 battles feature vessels such as the USS Constitution and HMS Guerriere, Chesapeake and Shannon, United States and Macedonian.
