The Meaning of Something: Rethinking the Logic and the Unity of the Ontology (Logic, Argumentation & Reasoning #29)
by Fosca Mariani ZiniThis innovative volume investigates the meaning of ‘something’ in different recent philosophical traditions in order to rethink the logic and the unity of ontology, without forgetting to compare these views to earlier significative accounts in the history of philosophy. In fact, the revival of interest in “something” in the 19th and 20th centuries as well as in contemporary philosophy can easily be accounted for: it affords the possibility for asking the question: what is there? without engaging in predefined speculative assumptions The issue about “something” seems to avoid any naive approach to the question about what there is, so that it is treated in two main contemporary philosophical trends: “material ontology”, which aims at taking “inventory” of what there is, of everything that is; and “formal ontology”, which analyses the structural features of all there is, whatever it is. The volume advances cutting-edge debates on what is the first et the most general item in ontology, that is to say “something”, because the relevant features of the conceptual core of something are: non-nothingness, otherness. Something means that one being is different from others. The relationality belongs to something.: Therefore, the volume advances cutting-edge debates in phenomenology, analytic philosophy, formal and material ontology, traditional metaphysics.
Small Bites: Mindfulness for Everyday Use
by Annabelle ZinserDrawing on her experiences as a Buddhist teacher in the tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh, Annabelle Zinser developed meditation and mindfulness practices for a variety of everyday situations and the transformation of emotional challenges. In short chapters the author demonstrates how to connect the awareness of our breath with focusing our mindfulness on a particular topic at hand, such as: dealing with inferiority complex; recognizing negative thoughts and emotions; taking care of our sexuality; seeing our ancestors within us. This puts us in touch with the healing capacity of the present moment, and gives us a tool to transform even the most difficult and painful aspects of our lives into something joyful and healing. In their simplicity, the meditations follow the model of Metta meditation, aiming for the cultivation of our hearts and spirits. They always begin with focusing on the breath but from there expand to addressing a broad spectrum of mental conditions and life situations.Written for anyone aiming to living in a more grounded and sustainable way, Small Bites offers immediately applicable guidance in applying key mindfulness practices to daily life.
As I Remember Him: The Biography of R.S.
by Hans ZinsserTHIS remarkable book is a legacy to his generation from a great doctor, great scientist, great talker, and a complete human being. Dr. Hans Zinsser of the Harvard Medical School, and author of that fascinating book, Rats, Lice and History, has set down, under the transparent fiction of a biography of R. S., the best remembered personal experiences of his life—his best stories, his best thoughts, his matured reflections on life and how it behaves, from obstetrics to education and research and war. And he has written his book as he talks to his students (who regard him as their best lecturer) and to his friends. For this is a man of many friends, and of an insatiable zest for experience.And what a life! Recent books have shown us how interesting the life of a country doctor can be. But this man, Zinsser, went on through the amusing, pathetic, tragic experiences of an ambulance doctor to the wider field of research in bacteriology. And his success there carried him afield as an expert, to typhus camps in Serbia, to China, to Persia, to Mexico in search of rats, to Japan. And he carried with him, in addition to his research equipment, one of those liberal, observant minds, well-stocked with education, humorous, reflective, optimistic, which takes as much as it gives, and stores it away to ripen. This book is not only his autobiography, it is also the book of a modern Boswell reporting his times and ours.
Rats, Lice and History
by Hans ZinsserThe classic account of infectious diseases and human history. Both shocking and entertaining, this masterpiece of popular science writing tells the tragic story of the struggle between humanity and its humble but deadly enemies, the organisms of disease. Zinsser shows how infectious disease simply represented an attempt of a living organism to survive. While from the human perspective an invading pathogen was abnormal, from the perspective of the pathogen it was perfectly normal. From the pestilence which contributed to the downfall of Rome to the dancing manias of medieval Europe, the aristocracy's fashion for wearing wigs and the role of typhus in the First World War, Zinsser reveals just how disease and epidemics have shaped human history. AUTHOR: Hans Zinnser taught bacteriology and immunology, and was a pioneer in isolating the micro-organism that causes a form of typhus. He died in 1940.-Print ed.

Cook Color: A Rainbow of 100 Recipes
by Maria ZizkaEat the rainbow. Cook Color celebrates the beauty of fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices, in a collection of 100 all-natural, monochrome recipes that reveal a tantalizing world of taste, texture, and seasonal eating like you've never seen before. What is the flavor of sunshine? The taste of forest green? Does the red of a pepper evoke the warmth of its spice? Cook Color reveals a whole new way of thinking about food. Author Maria Zizka introduces readers to ideas from color theory and cooking sciences, explaining how to master food styling and cooking techniques to enhance and preserve color, without any artificial additives. But cooking by color isn&’t just about looks; it is an approach that draws connections between aesthetics, seasonality, and flavor. Arranged in a gradient, the recipes begin with creamy shades of white—from a coconut cod and rice bowl to a garlicky bean and cauliflower salad. Yellows evoke the bright flavors in Margarita Bars, reds bring forward fiery tastes in dishes like Mapo Ragù with Rice Cakes, and greens highlight fresh and herbal flavors with dishes like Matcha and Mint Ice Cream Sundae or Zhoug-Marinated Feta and Fava Toasts. Blues, purples, and blacks present revelations: a butterfly pea flower boa stuffed with blue oyster mushroom, a classic Italian grape focaccia turned on its head with the addition of purple ube, and elegant black tahini cookies. To tie it all together, Zizka presents a special section of Color Menus, where she teaches readers how to use food to create palettes that evoke a sense of season, theme, or even a place: a Valentine&’s menu decorated with red and pink indulgences, a spring menu featuring all fresh flavors and pastel tones, a seafood-focused menu of blue and coral hues to conjure a tropical ocean vibe. Cook Color is a celebration of eating beautifully and creatively, at any moment and for any occasion.
Red Shambhala: Magic, Prophecy, and Geopolitics in the Heart of Asia
by Andrei ZnamenskiMany know of Shambhala, the Tibetan Buddhist legendary land of spiritual bliss popularized by the film, Shangri-La. But few may know of the role Shambhala played in Russian geopolitics in the early twentieth century. Perhaps the only one on the subject, Andrei Znamenski's book presents a wholly different glimpse of early Soviet history both erudite and fascinating. Using archival sources and memoirs, he explores how spiritual adventurers, revolutionaries, and nationalists West and East exploited Shambhala to promote their fanatical schemes, focusing on the Bolshevik attempt to use Mongol-Tibetan prophecies to railroad Communism into inner Asia. We meet such characters as Gleb Bokii, the Bolshevik secret police commissar who tried to use Buddhist techniques to conjure the ideal human; and Nicholas Roerich, the Russian painter who, driven by his otherworldly Master and blackmailed by the Bolshevik secret police, posed as a reincarnation of the Dalai Lama to unleash religious war in Tibet. We also learn of clandestine activities of the Bolsheviks from the Mongol-Tibetan Section of the Communist International who took over Mongolia and then, dressed as lama pilgrims, tried to set Tibet ablaze; and of their opponent, Ja-Lama, an "avenging lama" fond of spilling blood during his tantra rituals.
