Synopsis Vast Expanses by : Helen M. Rozwadowski
Much of human experience can be distilled to saltwater: tears, sweat, and an enduring connection to the sea. In Vast Expanses, Helen M. Rozwadowski weaves a cultural, environmental, and geopolitical history of that relationship, a journey of tides and titanic forces reaching around the globe and across geological and evolutionary time. Our ancient connections with the sea have developed and multiplied through industrialization and globalization, a trajectory that runs counter to Western depictions of the ocean as a place remote from and immune to human influence. Rozwadowski argues that knowledge about the oceans—created through work and play, scientific investigation, and also through human ambitions for profiting from the sea—has played a central role in defining our relationship with this vast, trackless, and opaque place. It has helped us to exploit marine resources, control ocean space, extend imperial or national power, and attempt to refashion the sea into a more tractable arena for human activity. But while deepening knowledge of the ocean has animated and strengthened connections between people and the world’s seas, to understand this history we must address questions of how, by whom, and why knowledge of the ocean was created and used—and how we create and use this knowledge today. Only then can we can forge a healthier relationship with our future sea.

Synopsis Faithful Labourers: a Reception History of Paradise Lost, 1667-1970 by : John Leonard
"Volume one attends to questions of style and genre. The first three chapters examine the longstanding debate about Milton's grand style and the question of whether it forfeits the native resources of English. Early critics saw Milton as the pre-eminent poet of 'apt Numbers' and 'fit quantity', whose verse is 'apt' in the specific sense of achieving harmony between sound and sense; twentieth-century anti-Miltonists faulted Milton for divorcing sound from sense; late twentieth-century theorists have denied the possibility that sound can 'enact' sense. These are extreme changes of critical perception, and yet the story of how they came about has never been told. These chronological chapters explain the roots of these changes and, in doing so, engage with the enduring theoretical question of whether it is possible for sound to enact sense"--

Synopsis Wisdom Nectar by : Dudjom Rinpoche
Dudjom Rinpoche was one of the seminal figures in Tibetan Buddhism in the twentieth century, yet very few of his religious writings have been translated into English. This volume contains a generous selection of his inspiring teachings and writings, the core of which is a lengthy discussion of the entire path of Dzogchen, including key instructions on view, meditation, and conduct, along with direct advice on how to bring one's experiences onto the path. Also included in this book in their entirety are the oral instructions, tantric songs, and songs of realization from His Holiness's Collected Works, along with a generous selection of the aspiration and supplication prayers.

Synopsis Introduction to Russia by : Gilad James, PhD
Russia, officially known as the Russian Federation, is the largest country in the world by land area and spans two continents, Europe and Asia. It is located in Eastern Europe and Northern Asia and shares borders with Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, China, and North Korea. The country has a diverse geography, from the frozen tundra of Siberia to the sunny beaches of the Black Sea coast. Russia is known for its rich culture and history, which includes famous poets, writers, composers, artists, and scientists. The country has a population of approximately 144 million people and is considered a federal semi-presidential republic. Russia's economy is one of the largest in the world and relies heavily on natural resources like oil, gas, and minerals. Its political system is often described as authoritarian due to the concentration of power in the hands of the president and the ruling party. However, the country has a complex and dynamic political landscape that includes a diversity of opinions and viewpoints. Despite its challenges, Russia continues to play a significant role in world affairs, including its involvement in Syria, Ukraine, and other global hotspots.
