Gandhi An Autobiography: The Story of My Experiments With Truth

Author:
Language: English
File Format: PDF


Book Overview:
Gandhi's nonviolent struggles in South Africa and India had already brought him to such a level of notoriety, adulation, and controversy that when asked to write an autobiography midway through his career, he took it as an opportunity to explain himself. Although accepting of his status as a great innovator in the struggle against racism, violence, and, just then, colonialism, Gandhi feared that enthusiasm for his ideas tended to exceed a deeper understanding. He says that he was after truth rooted in devotion to God and attributed the turning points, successes, and challenges in his life to the will of God.

His attempts to get closer to this divine power led him to seek purity through simple living, dietary practices (he called himself a fruitarian), celibacy, and ahimsa, a life without violence. It is in this sense that he calls his book The Story of My Experiments with Truth, offering it also as a reference for those who would follow in his footsteps. A reader expecting a complete accounting of his actions, however, will be sorely disappointed.

You're Not Stupid! Get the Truth: A Brief on the Bush Presidency

Author: William John Cox
Language: English
File Format: DjVu

Book Review:
Information is power, and in this day and age, most Americans are powerless. That's why this book is written for you, a busy person, to collect the key points scattered in a score of new political books in this election year.

Many of us are sitting in the dark, staring at the wall, watching Fox News and MSNBC under the mistaken belief we are seeing the truth. But You're Not Stupid: Get the Truth - A Brief on the Bush Presidency helps drag us into the sunlight by providing an examination of George W. Bush and his presidency.

At a time when most citizens don't have the time to seek out discrepancies between the Bush rhetoric and the Bush reality, You're Not Stupid marshals information and provides an overview of Bush and his administration. In order for any voter to engage in intelligent debate over our government's actions for the last three and a half years, he or she needs to know what those actions were. To this end, You're Not Stupid provides facts familiar to most as well as obscure information ignored or under reported by mainstream media. For example, how often has it been reported that Afghan President Hamid Karzai is a former employee of Unocal? That Saddam Hussein was installed by the CIA and maintained in power by President Bush Sr., who gave him permission to invade Kuwait to maintain oil prices? That the Bush administration's candidate to head the new Iraq government, another CIA retainer, Ahmed Chalabi, is a convicted felon?

SuperBike has a sense of humour and doesn't take itself too seriously. Given that it features a centrefold pin up, that's probably just as well, although the emphasis is on cheese rather than porn.

GURPS - Cyberpunk: High-Tech Low-Life Roleplaying Sourcebook

Author: Loyd Blankenship
Language: English
File Format: PDF

About the Book:
Roleplaying in a cyberpunk environment can be very different from traditional genres such as fantasy or superheroics. Cyberpunk, more than any other genre, tries to accurately reflect "real-world" human nature. Traditional ideas such as party loyalty may be questioned or tested. Betrayal and deceit are common in the real world - just read any issue of the Wall Street Journal - so why should they be less so in the game?

Welcome to the edge. It takes a special kind of person to thrive here: tough, smart, mean, nasty...and just a little bit lucky. It's action and reaction. Sit still, and the world will pass you by - or roll over you - or eat you for breakfast. Trust? Trust is for suckers. Anyone out there will knife you for the price of a six-pack of beer.

The Art of Electronics

Authors: Paul Horowitz/Winfield Hill
Language: English
File Format: PDF

About The Book:
"The Art of Electronics, by Paul Horowitz and Winfield Hill, is a popular textbook dealing with analog and digital electronics. It is sometimes referred to as the "electronics bible", and remains a popular text, although its most recent (2nd) edition was released in 1989.

The text is information-dense, but with an informal, light tone that makes it more accessible. At over 1000 pages (second edition) it covers virtually all areas of electronics design, from basic DC voltage, current, and resistance, to active filters and oscillators, to digital electronics, including microprocessors and digital bus interfacing. It also includes discussions of such often-neglected areas as high-frequency, high-speed design techniques and low-power applications.

The book is particularly useful because of its many example circuits. In addition to having examples of good circuits it also has examples of bad ideas, with excellent discussions of what makes the good designs good and the bad ones bad. It is a cross between a textbook and reference manual, though without the chapter-end questions and exercises that are often found in textbooks."
