The Kings of Buddhism explores the consequences of state regulation
and protection of a country’s majority religion. Sterken argues
that religious liberty or the lack thereof results from rational
interest-based calculations of both religious and state actors.
Using insights dating back to Adam Smith, John Locke, and Thomas
Jefferson, Sterken argues that centuries of state support for
Theravada Buddhism has corrupted the Myanmar religious marketplace.
At the expense of religions and the society, Myanmar’s kings and
military rulers have protected and regulated religion to enhance
their own political survival. The consequences state and religion
entanglement include 1) a state supported religious monopoly, 2)
corruption, regulation, and repression of Theravada Buddhists, 3)
repression and violence against religious minorities, 4) perpetual
conflict and violence, 5) a corrupt religious economy, and 6) a
corruption of truth. The consequences of state control are stark
and should serve as a warning to all who would seek to entangle
religion and the state.

Stackpole's Battle Briefings series offers accessible and
insightful summaries of battles, commanders, and other military
history topics. This volume covers the epic clash between the
Germans and Soviets on the Eastern Front during World War II.
Highlights include Operation Barbarossa, the massive battles at
Stalingrad and Kursk, and the final, desperate resistance of the
Germans as the Red Army closed in. Throughout are accounts from the
turrets of T-34 and Tiger tanks and from the men who fought, often
hand-to-hand, in the snow, mud, and dust of the Eastern Front.
Lt. Governor Bill Ratliff is an engineer, a widely respected
senator, and according to Caroline Kennedy he is "an inspiration to
all who serve in government, and to all Americans." Senator
Ratliff, nicknamed "Obi Wan Kenobi" by his colleagues, was a
revered and much loved leader in Texas for more than a decade. He
singularly wrote the Texas Robin-Hood school finance law, a major
Ethics reform law, a Texas tort reform law, and held a great
disdain for narrow partisanship and politics. This is the
inspirational story of a great man doing good work in a time when
many are cynical about political leadership and government. His
courageous stand on principle brought him to a showdown with
powerful forces in the Bush White House and earned him the public
vitriol of right-wing billionaires.

Are advances in technology working for us or against us? When our
phones become our keys to access everything, will our lives be more
convenient or more at the mercy of whoever can hack into our
devices? Will self-driving cars help us maximize our time and get
to our destination safely, or will they erode the autonomy and
freedom we feel when we drive ourselves? What happens if the
government, in the name of public health, gains access to the data
in our handy fitness trackers and uses it to reward or limit us? In
Neuromined, technology investor Robert Grant and prolific author
Michael Ashley team up to explore questions such as these. Each
chapter imagines a near-future surveillance dystopia through a
riveting fictional tale and provides a companion analysis
connecting the story to our present reality. Entertaining and
provoking, this book shows readers how the technology that has
promised a lifetime of convenience has also constrained a public's
individual options and agency. But all hope is not lost.
Neuromined, at its core, demonstrates how technology, when viewed
through a different ethos and used by a conscientious public, can
instead provide greater autonomy and greater access to liberation.
For this printing of R. Bowen's book, J.-R. Chazottes has
retyped it in TeX for easier reading, thereby correcting typos and
bibliographic details.
From the Preface by D. Ruelle: "Rufus Bowen has left us a
masterpiece of mathematical exposition... Here a number of results
which were new at the time are presented in such a clear and lucid
style that Bowen's monograph immediately became a classic. More
than thirty years later, many new results have been proved in this
area, but the volume is as useful as ever because it remains the
best introduction to the basics of the ergodic theory of hyperbolic
systems."

The 1950s was a time of great change in Britain - especially after
the immediate post-war austerity years. In Liverpool, massive slum
clearance programmes started to change the face of the city,
television began to infiltrate people's lives, and the consumer
society was born, along with the teenager, Teddy Boys and rock 'n'
roll. In the city centre, war-damaged buildings were being repaired
and new developments were springing up. Richly illustrated with 200
archive photographs, Liverpool in the 1950s recalls the unique
fashions of the decade, the changing modes of transport, the shops
and businesses that were around at this time, as well as the
developments that took place in the city during this exciting
decade, when anything seemed possible. Accompanied by detailed
captions, this book is sure to awaken memories for all who remember
Liverpool in the 1950s.
WWII began with a metallic roar as the German Blitzkrieg raced
across Europe, spearheaded by the most dreaded weapon of the 20th
century: the Panzer. No German tank better represents that
thundering power than the infamous Tiger, and Otto Carius was one
of the most successful commanders to ever take a Tiger into battle,
destroying well over 150 enemy tanks during his incredible career.
