Historia
Ajahn Chah was admired for the way he demystified the Buddhist teachings, presenting them in a remarkably simple and down-to-earth style for people of any background. He was a major influence and mentor for a generation of American Buddhist teachers. Previous books by Ajahn Chah have consisted of collections of short teachings on a wide variety of subjects. This new book focuses on the theme of impermanence, offering powerful remedies for overcoming our deep-seated fear of change, including guidance on letting go of attachments, living in the present, and taking up the practice of meditation.

Historia
Storm Clouds over the Pacific begins the story long before Pearl Harbor, showing how the war can only be understood if ancient hatreds and long-standing geopolitics are taken into account. Harmsen demonstrates how Japan and China's ancient enmity led to increased tensions in the 1930s, which, in turn, exploded into conflict in 1937.

Superficial Insights into the Pacific War
Revisado: 11-14-24
Peter Harmsen's "Storm Clouds over the Pacific, 1931-41" offers an overview of events leading to World War II in Asia. The analysis feels superficial and biased, often portraying Japan as the sole aggressor without exploring deeper motivations.
The narrator does a great job of bringing the story to life with an engaging performance, but his pronunciation of Japanese names was often disastrous, which detracted from the listening experience.
Though it blends strategic analysis with human stories, the book ultimately provides an engaging but limited perspective on the roots of the Pacific War.

Historia
Seven minutes past midnight on March 10, 1945, nearly 300 American B-29s thundered into the skies over Tokyo. Their payloads of incendiaries ignited a firestorm that reached up to 2,800 degrees, liquefying asphalt and vaporizing thousands; sixteen square miles of the city were flattened and more than 100,000 men, women, and children were killed. Black Snow is the story of this devastating operation, orchestrated by Major General Curtis LeMay, who famously remarked: "If we lose the war, we'll be tried as war criminals."

extremely well narrated
Revisado: 10-15-24
The narrator read with such immersion and feeling, and the book is very well written. It's not a typical 'dry' history book but one written with a vivid, engaging style that makes it enjoyable despite the heavy subject matter of war. In many ways, it reminds me of John Toland's The Rising Sun, as Black Snow brings history to life in a way that is both entertaining and deeply immersive. The author's ability to capture the human side of events makes this an extraordinary listening experience.

Historia
The anthroposophy of Rudolf Steiner is not a theoretical system, but the results of research based on direct observation. As Steiner's research was so vast and conducted over such a long period of time, no single book can be said to contain the whole of his spiritual teaching. However, of all his books on occult science, also known as esoteric science, come closest. Steiner even referred to it as 'an epitome of anthroposophical spiritual science'.

Historia
This collection brings together for the first time Ajahn Chah's most powerful teachings, including those on meditation, liberation from suffering, calming the mind, enlightenment and the "living dhamma". Most of these talks have previously only been available in limited, private editions and the publication of Food for the Heart, therefore, represents a momentous occasion: the hugely increased accessibility of his words and wisdom.

Historia
Reference to the astral plane, or Kâmaloka as it is called in Sanskrit, has frequently been made by Theosophical writers, and a good deal of information on the subject of this realm of nature is to be found scattered here and there in our books; but there is not, so far as I am aware, any single volume to which one can turn for a complete summary of the facts at present known to us about this interesting region. The object of this manual is to collect and make some attempt to arrange this scattered information, and also to supplement it slightly in cases where new facts have come to our knowledge.

Historia
Many consider the Battle of Midway to have turned the tide of the Pacific War. It is without question one of the most famous battles in history. Now, for the first time since Gordon W. Prange's best-selling Miracle at Midway, Jonathan Parshall and Anthony Tully offer a new interpretation of this great naval engagement. Shattered Sword makes extensive use of Japanese primary sources. It also corrects the many errors of Mitsuo Fuchida's Midway: The Battle That Doomed Japan It thus forces a major, potentially controversial reevaluation of the great battle.

Detailed but Biased Towards Yamamoto
Revisado: 08-25-23
The Book:
"Shattered Sword" provides an extremely detailed account of the Battle of Midway, debunking several myths with strong, irrefutable arguments. The authors have conducted meticulous research, allowing readers to follow the Japanese perspective just before and throughout the entire battle. This perspective is particularly rewarding to experience in an English-language book, as it offers a unique insight into the Japanese strategy and mindset. However, the portrayal of Yamamoto is problematic. The authors incorrectly depict him as a driving force behind Japan's declaration of war against the USA, while in reality, Yamamoto was opposed to the war both before and during. There are also subtle sentences that seem intended to diminish Yamamoto's competence and reputation, which may color some interpretations.
The Narration:
The narrator's voice is pleasant to listen to, and he reads with such passion that it adds excitement to the story. However, his pronunciation of Japanese words, expressions, and names is utterly incomprehensible. It's frankly unacceptable; there's no reason to have a narrator who cannot pronounce Japanese correctly in a book of this nature. Even if the narrator isn't naturally proficient in Japanese, the book's editor should have provided phonetic guidance. A competent editor would never have approved these pronunciations. Whether this is a sign of a careless editor or a general American lack of knowledge or interest, I leave unsaid. The narration's shortcomings do not entirely overshadow the engaging content, but they are a significant drawback for those interested in an authentic portrayal of the events.
