Complete third series of the gritty, thought-provoking prison drama
from HBO. Set in the Emerald City experimental wing of Oswald (Oz)
Correctional Facility - the series is a futuristic look at crime
and punishment. Emerald City was set up with a pre-agreed amount of
members of ten racial and social demographics (The Muslims, The
Homeboys, The Aryans, The Bikers, The Italians, The Latinos, The
Irish, The Gays, The Christians and The Others) to see whether they
might be able to sort things out among themselves or at least to
witness their attempts. Episodes comprise: 'The Truth and Nothing
But...', 'Napoleon's Boney Parts', 'Legs', 'Unnatural Disasters',
'U.S. Male', 'Cruel and Unusual Punishments', 'Secret Identities'
and 'Out 'o Time'.
Unofficial four part biography of influential rock band The Who.
Formed in 1964, The Who's classic line-up of Roger Daltrey on
vocals, Pete Townshend on guitar, John Entwistle on bass and Keith
Moon on drums found success quickly with the iconic single 'My
Generation' and their predilection for destroying their instruments
at the end of shows. This biography tells the story of the band
through the years, with the aid of archive interviews and
contributions from music journalists.
YOUTH, MIDDLE-AGE, and YOU-LOOK-GREAT Dying To Come Back As A
Memoir With reckless ravenous scientific curiosity. Stephen Rosen
disassembled a clock and swallowed a part at age two. At age four,
impulsively chasing a cat up a tree, he impaled himself upon a
steel-spike picket fence. As a teenager, he fell in love with
Relativity. At age twenty-one, he saved three lives including his
own. In his mid-twenties he became an assistant professor of
physics and a father. In his thirties, he was visiting scientist at
Institut d? Astrophysique de Paris/Centre d?Etudes Nucleaires de
Saclay doing research on cosmic radiation; was tear-gassed on May
Day soixante-huit; divorced; philandered his way through the sexual
revolution; served at a prominent think-tank doing top-secret
strategy for the defense department; and wrote a best-selling book,
?Future Facts?(1976). At fifty-one, he married a beautiful and
brilliant woman (Celia Paul, the sunshine of his life) who helped
transform him into a mensch and a ?hero? (Talmudic definition). He
created the Scientific Career Transitions Program in 1990, and
taught hundreds of PhD and double-PhD Soviet Jewish emigre
refusnik-scientists how to find jobs in the U.S. utilizing their
exceptional Russian credentials. He became ?a person of interest?
to the FBI, the CIA, and the KGB. Sponsored by the Alfred P. Sloan
Foundation, he and Celia Paul wrote the 1997 book ?Career Renewal?
for American scientists. In the later best years of his life he
built a tree-house, became a sculptor and photographer, wrote
articles, books, and original songs for family and friends, and
observed and helped his children and grand-children become adults.
He survived near-death twice--from a stroke and subsequent loss of
half his blood, and wrote his obituary even though he has a genetic
marker for longevity. He exercises and swims regularly, and in the
gym's locker room decided a sign on the swimsuit spin-dryer
referred to his well-lived life: ?This unit is self-timed and will
shut down at the end of its cycle. It will not reset?.
Tucked away in ancient Sanskrit and Bengali texts is a secret
teaching, a blissful devotional (bhakti) tradition that involves
sacred congregational chanting (kirtana), mindfulness practices
(japa, smaranam), and the deepening of one's relationship with God
(rasa). Brought to the world's stage by Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu
(1486-1533), and fully documented by his immediate followers, the
Six Goswamis of Vrindavan, these unprecedented teachings were
passed down from master to student in Gaudiya Vaishnava lineages.
The Golden Avatara of Love: Sri Chaitanya's Life and Teachings, by
contemporary scholar Steven J. Rosen, makes the profound truths of
this confidential knowledge easily accessible for an English
language audience. In his well-researched text, modern
readers-spiritual practitioners, scholars, and seekers of knowledge
alike-will encounter a treasure of hitherto unrevealed spiritual
teachings, and be able to fathom sublime dimensions of Sri
Chaitanya's method. Using the ancient texts themselves and the
findings of contemporary academics, Rosen succeeds in summarizing
and establishing Sri Chaitanya's life and doctrine for the modern
world.
