The Bhagavad Gita is a profound religious text, and Gandhi''s commentary on the Gita is regarded as among the most important of the twentieth century. Gandhi addresses the issues he felt most directly affected the spiritual lives of common people. In his own words his interpretation (of the Gita) is designed for the common man, ''one who has little or no literary equipment, who has neither the time nor the desire to read the Gita in the original, and yet who stands in need of its support''. This book is based on talks given by the Mahatma at the Sabarmati Ashram, Ahmedabad, over a nine month period. During this period Gandhi devoted much of his time and energy to translating the Gita from Sanskrit into Gujarati.

They can be swift, silent, and deadly. That''s why armed guerrillas are feared by even the largest, best-equipped fighting forces. No tank, rocket-propelled grenade, or infantry battalion can match the guerrilla team''s ability to exact brutality with precision, instill fear in enemy hearts, and viciously deflate morale. From the snows of Korea to the jungles of Southeast Asia to the mountains of Afghanistan, the U.S. Army has employed guerrilla tactics to deadly effect. Those tactics and techniques, being used today by U.S. soldiers, are laid out in the U.S. Army Guerrilla Warfare Handbook.Employing small, heavily-armed, and well-oiled fire teams, guerrilla warfare has played an invaluable role in the success of nearly every U.S. campaign for decades. Here, its methods are detailed: raids and ambushes, demolition, counterintelligence, mining and sniping, psychological warfare, communications, and much more. This is an inside look at the guerrilla strategies and weapons that have come to be feared by enemies and respected by allies. Not another outside perspective or commentary on unconventional warfare, this is the original-of use to soldiers in the field and to anyone with an interest in military tactics.

Continuing as a trader and educator in the stock, commodity and bond markets, Wyckoff was curious about the logic behind market action. Through conversations, interviews and research of the successful traders of his time, Wyckoff augmented and documented the methodology he traded and taught. Wyckoff worked with and studied them all, himself, Jesse Livermore, E. H. Harriman, James R. Keene, Otto Kahn, J.P. Morgan, and many other large operators of the day. Wyckoff implemented his methods outlined in this book, in the financial markets, and grew his account to such a magnitude that he eventually owned nine and a half acres and a mansion next door to the General Motors'' Industrialist, Alfred Sloan''s Estate, in Great Neck, New York (Hamptons). As Wyckoff became wealthier, he also became altruistic about the public''s Wall Street experience. He turned his attention and passion to education, teaching, and in publishing exposés such as "Bucket shops and How to Avoid Them", which were run in New York''s The Saturday Evening Post.
The Metamorphosis (German: Die Verwandlung) is a novella by Franz Kafka. It is often cited as one of the seminal works of short fiction of the 20th century and is widely studied in colleges and universities across the western world. The story begins with a traveling salesman, Gregor Samsa, waking to find himself transformed into an insect.Critics have interpreted Kafka's works in the context of a variety of literary schools, such as modernism, magical realism, and so on. The apparent hopelessness and absurdity that seem to permeate his works are considered emblematic of existentialism. Others have tried to locate a Marxist influence in his satirization of bureaucracy in pieces such as In the Penal Colony, The Trial, and The Castle, whereas others point to anarchism as an inspiration for Kafka's anti-bureaucratic viewpoint. Still others have interpreted his works through the lens of Judaism, through Freudianism, or as allegories of a metaphysical quest for God. Themes of alienation and persecution are repeatedly emphasized. Biographers have said that it was common for Kafka to read chapters of the books he was working on to his closest friends, and that those readings usually concentrated on the humorous side of his prose. Milan Kundera refers to the essentially surrealist humour of Kafka as a main predecessor of later artists such as Federico Fellini, Gabriel García Márquez, Carlos Fuentes and Salman Rushdie. For García Márquez, it was as he said the reading of Kafka's The Metamorphosis that showed him "that it was possible to write in a different way."

"Trading is not the path to free money; profits must be earned through homework, discipline, courage, patience, and perseverance in the markets." - Rich Trader In contrast to its precursor, "New Trader, Rich Trader", where New Trader struggled with basic issues such as development of a positive expectancy method, position sizing as well as determining which assets to trade; in this manuscript all those issues have been resolved and so at the book's inception one might imagine New Trader would simply be relating his successes to Rich Trader.As anyone who has successfully transitioned from "New Trader" to "Rich Trader" can attest, this is not the case and our authors brilliantly navigate New Trader's journey from knowing how to trade "in theory" towards flawless implementation of his positive expectancy model despite draw downs, missed opportunities, price shock events, and so on. As in all of Steve's books, I am consistently amazed at how despite his obvious mastery of our business he can recall with intimate detail what it was like to make the full gamut of "New Trader" mistakes. "New Trader, Rich Trader 2" will have New Traders reaching for their highlighters while Rich Traders smile knowingly at distance memories of painful missteps. Wherever you are in the journey from New to Rich Trader, this book is an indispensable tool filled with lots of "Aha" moments. To Steve and Janna, congratulations on a job well done, to all the New Traders reading this, pat yourself on the back for having found an indispensable aid in your journey from novice to pro.Richard L.

El mejor testimonio sobre la época más sombría de la historia estadounidense son las desgarradoras memorias de Solomon Northup, un afroamericano nacido como hombre libre en Nueva York. Las escribió después de haber pasado doce años esclavizado en varias plantaciones de Luisiana. Corría el año 1841 cuando fue engañado, secuestrado y vendido. Desapareció sin dejar rastro. Su relato es sobrecogedor y su punto de vista, inusual, pues Northup conoció de primera mano qué significaba ser un hombre libre y ser víctima de la esclavitud. Su valioso libro ha subsistido por ser una crónica sobre el mal y el lado oscuro del ser humano, pero nos lega asimismo un bello tratado acerca de la amistad y de la superación.
Jack London, fue un escritor estadounidense, nacido en San Francisco, California. Esencialmente se autoeducó, proceso que llevó a cabo en la biblioteca pública de la ciudad leyendo libros. Agobiado por problemas económicos, London viajó a Alaska, seducido por la fiebre del oro. Años después, su capacidad literaria le permitió alcanzar éxito popular con una colección de relatos titulada "El hijo del lobo", a la que luego se sumarían obras como "Niños del bosque", "La llamada de la selva", "El lobo de mar", y posiblemente su obra más famosa, Colmillo, entre muchas otras.
