A Further Record; Ouspensky, P.D. Arkana 1850630569 / 9781850630562 PAPERBACK
Good
1850630569 ~Good. No DJ, as issued. Trade Paperback. Light to moderate shelf wear to covers/corners; satisfaction guaranteed. Peter D. Ouspensky (March 4, 1878?October 2, 1947), (Pyotr Demianovich Ouspenskii, also Uspenskii or Uspensky, ???? ??????????? ??????????), a Russian esotericist known for his expositions of the early work of the Greek-Armenian teacher of esoteric doctrine George Gurdjieff, whom he met in Moscow in 1915. He was associated with the ideas and practices originating with Gurdjieff from then on. In 1924, he separated from Gurdjieff personally, and some, including Rodney Collin among others, say that he finally gave up the (Gurdjieff) "system" that he had shared with people for 25 years in England and the United States, but his own recorded words on the subject ("A Record of Meetings," published posthumously) do not clearly endorse this judgement nor does Ouspensky's emphasis on "you must make a new beginning" after confessing "I've left the system"; all this happened in Lyne Place, Surrey, England in 1947, just before his demise. While lecturing in London in 1924 he announced that he would continue independently the way he began in 1921. All in all, Ouspensky studied the Gurdjieff System directly under Gurdjieff's own supervision for a period of ten years, from 1915 to 1924. Ouspenky's book In Search of the Miraculous is a recounting of what Ouspensky learned from Gurdjieff during those years.

After the Future; Berardi, Franco Bifo AK Press 1849350590 / 9781849350594 PAPERBACK
New
1849350590 After the Future explores our century-long obsession with the concept of "the future." Beginning with F. T. Marinetti's "Futurist Manifesto" and the worldwide race toward a new and highly mechanized society that defined the "Century of Progress," highly respected media activist Franco Berardi traces the genesis of future-oriented thought through the punk movement of the early '70s and into the media revolution of the '90s. Cyberculture, the last truly utopian vision of the future, has ended in a clash, and left behind an ever-growing system of virtual life and actual death, of virtual knowledge and actual war. Our future, Berardi argues, has come and gone; the concept has lost its usefulness. Now it's our responsibility to decide what comes next. Drawing on his own involvement with the Autonomia movement in Italy and his collaboration and friendship with leading thinkers of the European political left, including Félix Guattari and Antonio Negri, Berardi presents a highly nuanced analysis of the state of the contemporary working class, and charts a course out of the modern dystopian moment. Franco Berardi, better known in the United States as "Bifo," is an Italian autonomist philosopher and media activist. One of the founders of the notorious Radio Alice, a pirate radio station that became the voice of the autonomous youth movement of Bologna in the late 1970s, Bifo is the author of multiple works of theory, including the recently published The Soul at Work and "The Post-Futurist Manifesto."

Chaos, Creativity, and Cosmic Consciousness; Sheldrake, Rupert; McKenna, Terence; Abraham, Ralph Park Street Press 0892819774 / 9780892819775 PAPERBACK
New
0892819774 Three of the most original thinkers of our time explore issues that call into question our current views of reality, morality, and the nature of life. A wide-ranging investigation of the ecology of inner and outer space, the role of chaos theory in the dynamics of human creation, and the rediscovery of traditional wisdom. In this book of "trialogues," the late psychedelic visionary and shamanologist Terence McKenna, acclaimed biologist and originator of the morphogenetic fields theory Rupert Sheldrake, and mathematician and chaos theory scientist Ralph Abraham explore the relationships between chaos and creativity and their connection to cosmic consciousness. Their observations call into question our current views of reality, morality, and the nature of life in the universe. authors challenge the reader to the deepest levels of thought with wide-ranging investigations of the ecology of inner and outer space, the role of chaos in the dynamics of human creation, and the resacralization of the world. Among the provocative questions the authors raise are: Is Armageddon a self-fulfilling prophecy? Are we humans the imaginers or the imagined? Are the eternal laws of nature still evolving? What is the connection between physical light and the light of consciousness? Part ceremony, part old-fashioned intellectual discussion, these trialogues are an invitation to a new understanding of what Jean Houston calls "the dreamscapes of our everyday waking life.".

Dreams; Jensen, Derrick Seven Stories Press 1583229302 / 9781583229309 PAPERBACK
New
1583229302 ~NEW. No DJ, as issued. Trade Paperback. Brand new; satisfaction guaranteed. Jensen's furthest-reaching book yet, Dreams challenges the "destructive nihilism" of writers like Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris who believe that there is no reality outside what can be measured using the tools of science. He introduces the mythologies of ancient cultures and modern indigenous peoples as evidence of alternative ways of understanding reality, informed by thinkers such as American Indian writer Jack Forbes, theologian and American Indian rights activist Vine Deloria, Shaman Martin Prechtel, Dakota activist and scholar Waziyatawin, and Okanagan Indian writer Jeannette Armstrong. He draws on the wisdom of Dr. Paul Staments, author of Mycelium Running: How Mushrooms Can Help Save the World, sociologist Stanley Aronowitz, who discusses science's lack of accountability to the earth, and many more. As in his other books, Jensen draws heavily from his own life experience living alongside the frogs, redwoods, snails, birds and bears of the upper northwest, about which he writes with exquisite tenderness. Having taken on the daunting task of understanding one's dreams as a source of knowledge, Jensen achieves the near-impossible in this breathtakingly brave and ambitious new work.

Erasmus - Luther - Discourse On Free Will (Milestones Of Thought); Ernst F. Winter (Editor) Frederick Ungar Publishing 1961 B000UMRPKG Hardcover

B000UMRPKG ~Fair. No DJ. Hardcover. Ex-Library. Spine peeling away from book, moderate wear to edges and corners. Academic library markings/stamps; moderate to heavy shelf wear; satisfaction guaranteed. Association Copy: This book is from the personal collection of Dr. Roland Bainton and bears his presentation bookplate to Penrose Memorial Library at Whitman College inside the front cover, as well as his signature on the FFEP. Roland Herbert Bainton (1894?1984) was a British born American Protestant church historian. He was born in Ilkeston, Derbyshire,[1] England and came to the United States in 1902. He received an A.B. degree from Whitman College, and B.D. and Ph.D.. degrees from Yale University. He also received a number of honorary degrees including a D.D. from Meadville Theological Seminary and from Oberlin College, Dr. Theologiae from the University of Marburg, Germany, and Litt.D. from Gettysburg College. A specialist in Reformation history, Bainton was for forty-two years Titus Street Professor of ecclesiastical history at Yale, and he continued his writing well into his twenty years of retirement. Bainton's father was a pacifist, and he himself married a Quaker. Graduating from seminary just as World War I began, he affiliated with the Society of Friends' unit of the American Red Cross. Although he was ordained as a Congregationist minister, he never served as the pastor of a congregation. Bainton wore his scholarship lightly and had a lively, readable style. His most popular books were Here I Stand: A Life of Martin Luther (1950)--which sold more than a million copies?and The Reformation of the Sixteenth Century (1952), both of which were widely used as textbooks. In all he was the author of more than thirty books on Christianity. Many of Bainton's books are illustrated with examples taken from his collection of medieval and Renaissance drawings, woodcuts, and engravings.[2] He was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1954.[3] A collection of essays in honor of Roland Bainton was published in 1962.

Hate The Game; Michael EndlessUnlimited.com 0615659209 / 9780615659206 PAPERBACK
New
0615659209 Brand New! Why do republicans and democrats seem the same? Why are political issues never resolved? Why does it seem like your work never ends? Why does it seem like the rich get richer and the poor get poorer? Why is it so hard to get ahead? Why do people with similar complaints end up fighting each other? Why are we trapped into thinking and acting in specific ways? Our struggle with these questions is no accident. The world we live in, and the systems set up within it, are now designed to create and perpetuate these problems... at our expense. Through 170 pages, the book examines an individuals relationship to society, the Natural Rights of each person, logical fallacies our society is built upon, the mental and emotional manipulation we face on a daily basis, and what we can do about it. Hate the game is an introduction into Natural Rights, starting from the easily observable around us and working outward into the systems that govern our lives and seem to govern humanity. Hate The Game is not an attack on any individual or system in particular, but a challenge to foundations of the way we treat each other; and not a friendly challenge. One strong contribution this book aspires to make to the discussion is to articulate a complaint. Some people are frustrated with politics. Some people are frustrated with the stock market. Some people are frustrated with companies. Others are simply struggling to live. There is no perfect solution; there will always be imperfection, but the book attempts to articulate why so many of the problems we face (from political parties to why the rich get richer and the poor poorer) are a direct result of our system?mainly, our reliance on violence.

Intuition; Fuller, R. Buckminster Doubleday 1972 B0006C69OI Hardcover

B0006C69OI ~Good. Good DJ. Hardcover. Heavy foxing and spotting to edges of pages. Light to moderate shelf wear to boards/DJ; satisfaction guaranteed. This is the first major new book in years by Fuller, the world-famous inventor of the geodesic dome. It is an expression of one of his most fundamental ideas: that humanity is suffering from a kind of cosmic near-sightedness, an inability to comprehend universal principles, due to concentration on special parts. Only by using our whole minds - our intuition, as well as our reason - will we be able to fulfill our unique role in the universe. Fuller has carried these pieces in his suitcase on his extensive trips around spaceship Earth, constantly revising and refining them.

Living in the End Times; Zizek, Slavoj Verso 1844677028 / 9781844677023 PAPERBACK
New
1844677028 Zizek analyzes the end of the world at the hands of the ?four riders of the apocalypse.? There should no longer be any doubt: global capitalism is fast approaching its terminal crisis. Slavoj ?i?ek has identified the four horsemen of this coming apocalypse: the worldwide ecological crisis; imbalances within the economic system; the biogenetic revolution; and exploding social divisions and ruptures. But, he asks, if the end of capitalism seems to many like the end of the world, how is it possible for Western society to face up to the end times? In a major new analysis of our global situation, ?i?ek argues that our collective responses to economic Armageddon correspond to the stages of grief: ideological denial, explosions of anger and attempts at bargaining, followed by depression and withdrawal. For this edition, ?i?ek has written a long afterword that leaves almost no subject untouched, from WikiLeaks to the nature of the Chinese Communist Party.

Meditations of Marcus Aurelius; Aurelius, Marcus Geo. M. Hill Hardcover
Good
No publication date. Translated from the Greek by Jeremy Collier, revised w/ an introduction and notes by Alice Zimmerman. ~Good. No DJ. Hardcover. Light to moderate shelf wear to boards; satisfaction guaranteed. Small hole worn in cloth of front cover, bottom edge a bit ragged. Meditations (?? ??? ??????, Ta eis heauton, literally "thoughts/writings addressed to himself") is a series of personal writings by Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor 161?180 CE, setting forth his ideas on Stoic philosophy. Marcus Aurelius wrote the 12 books of the Meditations in "highly-educated" Koine Greek[1] as a source for his own guidance and self-improvement. It is possible that large portions of the work were written at Sirmium, where he spent much time planning military campaigns from 170 to 180. Some of it was written while he was positioned at Aquincum on campaign in Pannonia, because internal notes tell us that the second book was written when he was campaigning against the Quadi on the river Granova (modern-day Hron) and the third book was written at Carnuntum. It is not clear that he ever intended the writings to be published, so the title Meditations is but one of several commonly assigned to the collection. These writings take the form of quotations varying in length from one sentence to long paragraphs. His stoic ideas often involve avoiding indulgence in sensory affections, a skill which, he says, will free a man from the pains and pleasures of the material world. He claims that the only way a man can be harmed by others is to allow his reaction to overpower him. An order or logos permeates existence. Rationality and clear-mindedness allow one to live in harmony with the logos. This allows one to rise above faulty perceptions of "good" and "bad."

Might Is Right or Survival of the Fittest by Redbeard, Ragnar; Redbeard, Ragnar Fourteen Words Press 1999 TRADE PAPERBACK
New
New. No dust jacket as issued. Brand New! Support Independent Pacific Northwest Booksellers! 188 p. Might Is Right, or Survival of the Fittest, is a book by apparently pseudonymous author Ragnar Redbeard. It is considered to either advocate social Darwinism or satirize it, and was first published in 1890. In Might is Right, Redbeard rejects conventional ideas of human and natural rights and argues that only strength or physical might can establish moral right (a la Callicles). Libertarian historian James J. Martin called it "surely one of the most incendiary works ever to be published anywhere. " Some, such as S. E. Parker, suspect Ragnar was a pen name for radical New Zealander Arthur Desmond, a prominent advocate of Henry George's Single Tax. [2] Some see it as hard to reconcile the difference in their politics. Most who believe that Desmond was Redbeard believe the book to have been a work of satire. Others believe that Jack London wrote Might is Right. [3] As with Desmond the difference in politics is great (London's political activism started in the Marxist Socialist Labor Party and ended in the Socialist Party), and mainstream London-scholars have not supported the assertion that Redbeard was London. Claims that London was Redbeard come, in part, from Satanists[citation needed]; Anton LaVey thought him "the most likely candidate". Ragnar's publication is also the source whence much of the Satanic Bible, authored by the now-deceased Anton LaVey of the Church of Satan, originated, especially the 'Book of Satan. '.

On Love; Beyle, Marie-Henri (De Stendhal) Liveright Publishing Corporation 1947 B000Z40JF2 Hardcover
Good
B000Z40JF2 Published in 1947 by Liveright Publishing Corporation. ~Good. Good DJ with moderate wear to corners and edges. Hardcover. Light to moderate shelf wear to boards/DJ; satisfaction guaranteed. Association copy: This book is from the collection of Elizabeth Story Donno and Daniel J. Donno. Elizabeth Donno was an esteemed Renaissance scholar and alumna of Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington, class of 1944. She received an honorary Doctor of Letters degree from Whitman in 1979. In the summer of 2009 her collection was donated to the Penrose Memorial Library at Whitman and we are slowly making it available for purchase. Proceeds from the sale of Donno's library benefit the Penrose Memorial Library, the local Walla Walla economy, and Earthlight Books, across the street from Whitman. If you are interested in more of her library please contact us directly. In 1818, when he was in his mid-thirties, Stendhal met and fell passionately in love with the beautiful Mathilde Dembowski. She, however, was quick to make it clear that she did not return his affections, and in his despair he turned to the written word to exorcise his love and explain his feelings. The result is an intensely personal dissection of the process of falling - and being - in love: a unique blend of poetry, anecdote, philosophy, psychology and social observation. Bringing together the conflicting sides of his nature, the deeply emotional and the coolly analytical, Stendhal created a work that is both acutely personal and universally applicable.

Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth; R. Buckminster Fuller Pocket Books 1973 0671780468 / 9780671780463 MASS MARKET PAPERBACK
Fair
0671780468 6th printing, 78046 code on cover, $1.25 cover price. ~Good to Fair. No DJ, as issued. Mass Market Paperback. Light to moderate shelf wear to covers/corners; satisfaction guaranteed. In this essay on man Mr. Fuller expresses what may well be his penultimate view of the human condition. Here, in a mood at once philosophical and involved, Mr. Fuller traces man?s intellectual evolution and weighs his capability for survival on this magnificent craft, this Spaceship Earth, this superbly designed sphere of almost negligible dimension in the great vastness of space. Mr. Fuller is optimistic that man will survive and, through research and development and increased industrialization, generate wealth so rapidly that he can do very great things. But, he notes, there must be an enormous educational task successfully accomplished right now to convert man?s tendency toward oblivion into a realization of his potential, to a universe-exploring advantage from this Spaceship Earth. It has been noted that Mr. Fuller spins ideas in clusters, and clusters of his ideas generate still other clusters. The concept ?spaceship earth? is Mr. Fuller?s, and though used by Barbara Ward as the title of a work of her own the idea was acknowledged by her there as deriving from Mr. Fuller. The brilliant syntheses of some fundamental Fuller principles given here makes of this book a microcosm of the Fuller system.

Guthrie, Max Evans, Don Coldsmith, Norman Fox, Tommy Thompson, William McCleod Raine, Nelson Nye and his mentor, Walter Stanley Vestal Campbell. Gulick is considered one of the foremost authorities on Pacific Northwest history.Gulick, a University of Oklahoma graduate, began his career writing for the Saturday Evening Post with a story about the Oregon Trail. He later went on to turn the story into the novel, Hallelujah Trail. The story was picked up by Hollywood along with two more of his stories, Bend of the River and Road to Denver. After nine months in Greenwich Village ( 43-44), he married Jeanne Abbot and began writing for Liberty, Colliers, and Esquire along with The Saturday Evening Post. It was shortly after the success of Bend of the River that Jeanne and Bill moved to Walla Walla, WA, where Bill still lives, though Jeanne passed on in 2001. After 64 years as a writer, Bill has 35 books to his credit; 28 of which are novels. Almost the entirety of his work encompasses the Northwest. He is a close friend of my father, David Cosby, owner of Earthlight Books in Walla Walla. We have inherited a large amount of his personal library and are making it available online, including books signed by and to Mr. Gulick.

Select Essays and Addresses Including the American Scholar / Edited with Notes and an Introduction by Eugene D. Holmes; Emerson, Ralph Waldo (1803-1882) New York ; London MacMillan 1915 B003ZNINWG Hardcover
Good
B003ZNINWG Published by Macmillan in 1915. ~Good. No DJ. Hardcover. Light to moderate shelf wear to boards; satisfaction guaranteed. Ralph Waldo Emerson (May 25, 1803 ? April 27, 1882) was an American essayist, lecturer, and poet, who led the Transcendentalist movement of the mid-19th century. He was seen as a champion of individualism and a prescient critic of the countervailing pressures of society, and he disseminated his thoughts through dozens of published essays and more than 1,500 public lectures across the United States. Emerson gradually moved away from the religious and social beliefs of his contemporaries, formulating and expressing the philosophy of Transcendentalism in his 1836 essay, Nature. Following this ground-breaking work, he gave a speech entitled The American Scholar in 1837, which Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. considered to be America's "Intellectual Declaration of Independence". Emerson wrote most of his important essays as lectures first, then revised them for print. His first two collections of essays ? Essays: First Series and Essays: Second Series, published respectively in 1841 and 1844 ? represent the core of his thinking, and include such well-known essays as Self-Reliance, The Over-Soul, Circles, The Poet and Experience. Together with Nature, these essays made the decade from the mid-1830s to the mid-1840s Emerson's most fertile period. Emerson wrote on a number of subjects, never espousing fixed philosophical tenets, but developing certain ideas such as individuality, freedom, the ability for humankind to realize almost anything, and the relationship between the soul and the surrounding world. Emerson's "nature" was more philosophical than naturalistic; "Philosophically considered, the universe is composed of Nature and the Soul." While his writing style can be seen as somewhat impenetrable, and was thought so even in his own time, Emerson's essays remain among the linchpins of American thinking, and Emerson's work has greatly influenced the thinkers, writers and poets that have followed him. When asked to sum up his work, he said his central doctrine was "the infinitude of the private man."
