The Tibetan Book of Everyday Wisdom (Library of Tibetan Classics #1)
by Jinpa Thupten Beth NewmanEnjoy popular Tibetan collections of advice, fables, and aphorisms for following the way of the wise and avoiding the paths of fools.The Tibetan Book of Everdyay Wisdom: A Thousand Years of Sage Advice presents a genre of Tibetan works known as “wise sayings” (lekshé). While most Tibetan literature focuses on the Buddhist path, “wise sayings” literature has traditionally been a centerpiece of secular education in Tibet and in the cultivation of social mores and an honorable way of life. Drawing inspiration from classical Indian literature on human virtue and governance (nitisastra), including the folktales in the Pañcatantra, the authors of these Tibetan works strove to educate young minds in the ways of the civilized world, especially by distinguishing the conduct of the wise from that of the foolish. This anthology includes some of the best-loved classics of Tibetan literature, such as Sakya Pandita’s Jewel Treasury of Wise Sayings, Panchen Sönam Drakpa’s Ganden Wise Sayings, and Gungthang’s Treatise on Trees and Treatise on Water. The final work is the intriguing Kaché Phalu’s Advice. Ostensibly written by a wise Tibetan Muslim, this versified text enjoys great popularity within Tibetan-speaking communities, such that most people are able to recite at least a few verses from memory.
The Tibetan History Reader
by Gray Tuttle Kurtis SchaefferCovering the social, cultural, and political development of Tibet from the seventh century to the modern period, this resource reproduces essential, hard-to-find essays from the past fifty years of Tibetan studies, along with several new contributions. Beginning with Tibet's emergence as a regional power and concluding with its profound contemporary transformations, the collection is both a general and specific history, connecting the actions of individuals, communities, and institutions to broader historical trends shaping Asia and the world. With contributions from American, French, German, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, and Tibetan scholars, the anthology reflects the international character of Tibetan studies and its multiple, interdisciplinary perspectives. By far the most concise scholarly anthology on Tibetan civilization in any Western language, this reader draws a clear portrait of Tibet's history, its relation to its neighbors, and its role in world affairs.
Tick... Tick... Tick...: The Long Life and Turbulent Times of Sixty Minutes
by David BlumAn insider's view of the most successful show in the history of TV, 60 Minutes. The most popular TV show in America isn't American Idol, and it's not Survivor. Month in, month out, the most–watched program in America is 60 Minutes, drawing a staggering 25 million viewers in an average week. For its entire 34–year history, 60 Minutes was the brainchild (and personal fiefdom) of Don Hewitt, the take–no–prisoners visionary who hustled the show into being and kept it afloat with a mixture of chutzpah, tough talk, scheming, and journalistic savvy. But now that Hewitt is 80 and grudgingly considering retirement, the show's direction is increasingly up for grabs, and the transition will surely be marked by some serious fireworks. As author David Blum provides a fly–on–the–wall perspective on the show's upheavals, he'll also trace its past; although the show has aired some 5,000 pieces and has made household names of Mike Wallace, Ed Bradley, Leslie Stahl, and Morley Safer, much of the backstage story––the passionate pursuit of stories, the behind–the–scenes wrangling, and the stars' prima donnish behavior––has gone untold. With full access to the producers, stars, and executives, Blum will give readers an unprecedented view of the personalities and events that have shaped 60 Minutes – and a new perspective on how current events become news.

This entertaining, meticulously researched book also includes a fascinating chapter on American opera from George Gershwin's Porgy and Bess to Philip Glass's Einstein on the Beach and a discussion of the gems of twentieth-century opera featuring works like Leos Janácek's The Cunning Little Vixen, Alban Berg's Lulu, and Serge Prokofiev's The Love for Three Oranges.Whether you're a curious neophyte, a music lover interested in branching out, or an aficionado eager to compare notes with a brilliant fellow opera buff, you'll prize Ticket to the Opera as an essential volume in your music library.From the Trade Paperback edition.

Tierwohl durch Genom-Editierung?: Tierethische Perspektiven auf die Genom-Editierung bei landwirtschaftlichen Nutztieren (Techno:Phil – Aktuelle Herausforderungen der Technikphilosophie #8)
by Susanne HiekelDer Einsatz neuer biotechnologischer Verfahren, wie der der Genom-Editierung, hat die Debatte um die ethische Zulässigkeit einer gentechnischen Veränderung von Tieren neu entflammt. Die Motivation zu genomeditorischen Züchtungsvorhaben ist, so wie bei „konventionellen“ Vorhaben auch, zumeist produktions- und leistungsorientiert. Es gibt vereinzelt aber auch Vorhaben, die darauf abzielen, dem tierlichen Wohl zugutezukommen. Dieser Zusammenhang des „Tierwohls durch Genom-Editierung“ wirft einige Forschungsfragen auf: Wodurch sind die Verfahren der Genom-Editierung in der Nutztierzucht überhaupt charakterisiert? Wie lässt sich das Anwendungsspektrum von genomeditorischen Nutztier-Zuchtvorhaben, die das tierliche Wohl befördern sollen, genauer beschreiben? Ist das Wohlergehen „zukünftiger Tiere“ überhaupt von moralischer Relevanz (Problem der Nicht-Identität)? Sind genomeditorische Zuchtvorhaben möglicherweise generell abzulehnen, weil sie die Integrität der betroffenen Tiere verletzen? Wie sind genomeditorische Zuchtvorhaben, die das Wohl von landwirtschaftlichen Nutztieren befördern sollen, aus tierwohltheoretischer Perspektive zu beurteilen? Wie – falls überhaupt – lassen sich Handlungen rechtfertigen, die zwar einerseits zur Perpetuierung einer moralisch problematischen Praxis beitragen, andererseits aber in bestimmter Hinsicht gegenüber dieser problematischen Praxis eine Verbesserung bedeuten? Antworten auf diese Fragen stellt dieses Buch bereit.

Time: A Vocabulary of the Present
by Joel Burges Amy J. EliasThe critical condition and historical motivation behind Time Studies The concept of time in the post-millennial age is undergoing a radical rethinking within the humanities. Time: A Vocabulary of the Present newly theorizes our experiences of time in relation to developments in post-1945 cultural theory and arts practices. Wide ranging and theoretically provocative, the volume introduces readers to cutting-edge temporal conceptualizations and investigates what exactly constitutes the scope of time studies.Featuring twenty essays that reveal what we talk about when we talk about time today, especially in the areas of history, measurement, and culture, each essay pairs two keywords to explore the tension and nuances between them, from “past/future” and “anticipation/unexpected” to “extinction/adaptation” and “serial/simultaneous.” Moving beyond the truisms of postmodernism, the collection newly theorizes the meanings of temporality in relationship to aesthetic, cultural, technological, and economic developments in the postwar period. This book thus assumes that time—not space, as the postmoderns had it—is central to the contemporary period, and that through it we can come to terms with what contemporaneity can be for human beings caught up in the historical present. In the end, Time reveals that the present is a cultural matrix in which overlapping temporalities condition and compete for our attention. Thus each pair of terms presents two temporalities, yielding a generative account of the time, or times, in which we live.
