"Mute is one of the most revered and influential indie labels of all time. Through the music of its tight-knit community of artists--ranging from Cabaret Voltaire, Nick Cave's The Birthday Party and Moby to Depeche Mode, Erasure, and Goldfrapp--it has had an incalculable impact on popular music for forty years. Daniel Miller created Mute to release his debut single (Warm Leatherette / T.V.O.D.), a pioneering electronic sound with a defiantly DIY punk attitude. Mute quickly established a reputation for cultivating the experimental, releasing cutting-edge industrial sounds, and chart-topping electronic music by the likes of Depeche Mode and Yazoo. The label was equally at home with the savage punk of Nick Cave's The Birthday Party and--to critical acclaim--his next outfit, The Bad Seeds. It also proved to be an Internet pioneer, launching the online site Mute Liberation Technologies in 1994. Mute features stunning artwork and photography--much of it previously unseen--and revelatory behind-the-scenes insights from the vibrant cast who have worked with the label"--

Originally published in Belgrade in 1969 and never before translated into English, Early Sorrows is a stunning group of linked stories that memorialize Danilo Kis's childhood. Kis, a writer of incomparable originality and eloquence, famous for his books The Encyclopedia of the Dead, Hourglass, and A Tomb for Boris Davidovich, was born in 1935 in Subotica, Yugoslavia, near the Hungarian border. "Back and forth over this land, during Danilo Kis's childhood, armies and ideologies washed with the brutal regularity of surf," William Gass noted in The New York Review of Books. "As a small boy and a Jew, in such circumstances, he was naturally surrounded by death and lies." All of the works of Danilo Kis show the crucial importance of his childhood experiences, but it is Early Sorrows that goes to the wellspring of his first bereavements. The twenty pieces that make up Early Sorrows strike various tones--from dreamy pastorals to exercises in horror. Kis's ingenuity, lyricism, and tonal subtlety are caught in all their luster by Michael Henry Heim. Early Sorrows centers on Andreas Sam, a highly intelligent boy whose life at first seems secure. His mother and sister dote on him; he excels at school; when he is hired out as a cowherd to help with the family's finances, he reads the day away in the company of his best friend, the dog. He can only sense that terrible things may be going on in the world. Soon soldiers are marching down the road, and then one day, many people from the village are herded together and taken away, among them, his father, the dreamer.

A classic in its field, EXPLORATIONS IN HYPNOSIS erases many of the misconceptions and superstitions that surround hypnosis. Techniques and principles are presented as they have been taught by Mr. Elman to over three thousand physicians and dentists. For many years hypnosis was strictly limited to stage and parlor performances but, with the help of Dave Elman, it has finally been allowed to take its place with the other medical sciences. The story of hypnosis is told here by the man who has been the world's greatest authority. He answers questions that have been in the mind of man for years, such as: CAN HYPNOSIS HELP SEXUAL PROBLEMS? CAN EVERYONE BE HYPNOTIZED? WHAT ABOUT SELF-HYPNOSIS? WHAT IS THE "ESDAILE" STATE? HOW DOES SELF-HYPNOSIS WORK? HOW CAN MEDICINE MAKE USE OF HYPNOSIS? WHEN WAS HYPNOSIS FIRST USED? WHAT IS SOMNAMBULISM? IS THERE DANGER OF NOT WAKING FROM HYPNOSIS? WILL A HYPNOTIC SUBJECT DO THINGS AGAINST HIS BELIEFS? For centuries hypnosis has been a mystery. Dave Elman, a true explorer in an unknown field, shows us that hypnosis is simply another tool to be used for man's benefit.

An updated edition of the book which looks a the problem of anti-Semitism in the Labour Party, now with two new chapters detailing events since its first publication in 2016, and new academic research into the origins of this phenomenon. Relations between British Jews and the left are in crisis, a situation reaching its nadir when the Labour Party was forced to suspend Naz Shah and Ken Livingstone over comments they made about Israel. Yet, until the 1980s, the British left was broadly pro-Israel. This change did not happen by chance: political activists made it happen. This book reveals who they were, why they chose Palestine and how they sold their cause to the rest of the left. It explains why more people will march in the streets of today's Britain to protest against Israel than any other country. It is about the anti-Israel left of Jeremy Corbyn, Ken Livingstone and George Galloway, born out of anti-apartheid campaigns and now allies itself with Islamist extremists who demand Israel's destruction. This anti-Israel fervour has anti-Semitic consequences

Boy, does Andy have troubles! His gerbils escaped and are scampering all over the basement.

"Are our lives meaningful, or meaningless? Is our inevitable death a bad thing? Would immortaility be an improvement? Would it be better, all things considered, to hasten our death by suicide? Many people ask these big questions - and some people are plagued by them. Surprisingly, analytic philosophers have said relatively little about these important questions about the meaning of life. When they have tackled the big questions, they have tended, like popular writers, to offer comforting, optimistic answers. [This book] invites readers to take a clear-eyed and unfettered view of the human condition."--Jacket
