In Search of the Supernatural: The Written Record By Kenneth J. Dewoskin; J. I. Crump, Jr.
1996 | 283 Pages | ISBN: 0804725063 | PDF | 7 MB
This is the first complete translation into a Western language of Sou-shen Chi, a fourth-century collection of 464 extraordinary, fantastic and bizarre anecdotes and narratives. Sou-shen Chi, is the oldest, richest, and most consulted example of the chih-kuai genre, an important division of classical Chinese literature demonstrating features of narrative technique and authorial sensibility that point to chih-kuai as the earliest examples of Chinese fiction. Of the three surviving versions of Sou-shen Chi, the twenty-chapter edition translated here is widely accepted as the best representation of the work of its compiler, Kan Pao, the official court historian for Emperor Yuan of the Chin dynasty. Sou-shen Chi served as a model for subsequent collections and provided many basic Descriptions, characters, and situations for plays, novels, and even poetry for future generations.

Gurminder Bhambra, "Imperial Inequalities: The politics of economic governance across European empires "
English | ISBN: 1526166143 | 2022 | 352 pages | PDF | 22 MB
Imperial Inequalities takes Western European empires and their legacies as the explicit starting point for discussion of issues of taxation and welfare. In doing so, it addresses the institutional and fiscal processes involved in modes of extraction, taxation, and the hierarchies of welfare distribution across Europe's global empires. The idea of 'imperial inequalities' provides a conceptual frame for thinking about the long-standing colonial histories that are responsible, at least in part, for the shape of present inequalities.

Jeff Greenwald Jesse Kalisher, "If You Find the Buddha"
English | 2006 | ISBN: 0811848140 | PDF | pages: 131 | 49.2 mb
Whether in the heart of Asia or a farm in the American heartland, the Buddha image never seems out of place. As a reminder to stop and live in the moment, it is as appropriate as a charm around the neck of a young Thai soldier as on a car dashboard. Photographs of the Buddha in various incarnations-traditional statuary, toys, garden ornaments, jewelry, tattoos-demonstrate that the Buddha is seemingly everywhere, if one cultivates the proper awareness. By turns beautiful, quirky, ironic, and meditative, Kalisher's images in If You Find the Buddha speak not only to the omnipresence of the spiritual icon, but also to our capacity to be surprised and delighted by the unexpected. With an insightful essay by noted author and traveler Jeff Greenwald, the striking photographs in this book delight and enlighten in equal measure.

David A. Messenger, "Hunting Nazis in Franco's Spain"
English | ISBN: 0807155632 | 2014 | 232 pages | EPUB | 400 KB
In the waning days and immediate aftermath of World War II, Nazi diplomats and spies based in Spain decided to stay rather than return to a defeated Germany. The decidedly pro-German dictatorship of General Francisco Franco gave them refuge and welcomed other officials and agents from the Third Reich who had escaped and made their way to Iberia. Amid fears of a revival of the Third Reich, Allied intelligence and diplomatic officers developed a repatriation program across Europe to return these individuals to Germany, where occupation authorities could further investigate them. Yet due to Spain's longstanding ideological alliance with Hitler, German infiltration of the Spanish economy and society was extensive, and the Allies could count on minimal Spanish cooperation in this effort.
