Introduced to the West by Paul Brunton, Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi (1879-1950) is widely hailed as the greatest Indian saint and sage in modern times, whose teachings continue to influence thousands around the world today. This intimate biography by his disciple Arthur Osborne interweaves the story of Ramana's life with his spiritual journey, from his awakening as a teenager to his later teachings and writings, offering a detailed account of a unique life.\n\nOsborne shares many of Ramana's lessons, including his emphasis on the importance of self-enquiry - that self-knowledge cannot be gained externally, but only through becoming aware of our own state of pure being. With his emphasis on the qualities of insight, simplicity and kindness, Ramana has much to offer us today.

Situated in the lea of its more boisterous neighbour, the village of Brunton had, at least in theory, sought to preserve its ethos of tranquillity. That was of course until the clock on the church tower stopped and a body was found lying in the arbour of the lych gate of which the village was justifiably proud! Yet whilst these events resulted in bringing Ross Nelson and Carrie Summerville together, neither of them could have visualised the sequence of events that were to follow, nor come to that was Dave Summerville able to understand the importance of the paper that he found in the bell tower of the church! But there were others from outside of the parish who had a vested interest in matters appertaining to this place, which was perhaps the reason why the young clergyman's wife had her face so disfigured and why a certain Gareth Evans, who supposedly worked for Her Majesty's Government, appeared to be able to haunt their lives!

From Vlad the Impaler and Tomas de Torquemada to Eustace the Monk and Reynald of Chatillon, some figures of the Middle Ages stand out and their stories simply beg to be told.\n\nThe mini-biographies of these, and many more, rogues, rebels and mavericks of the Middle Ages illuminate this fascinating period of history. By no means were they all unsympathetic characters, though many ended either murdered or executed, but not a single one could be described as less than remarkable.\n\nThis book is for anyone who enjoys medieval history in all its forms. Spanning the Norman Conquest, the Hundred Years War, the Wars of the Roses and the beginnings of European discovery of the wider world, much of what we see as 'medieval' is depicted through the focus of such players. Their colourful stories bring to life different aspects of society, such as chivalry, peasant revolts, crusading, heresy, sorcery and philosophy.

Staging Violence Against Women and Girls brings together three contemporary plays that denounce gendered violence, along with interviews with their creators and the practitioners who have staged them in different national contexts.\n\nLittle Stitches (London, 2014): consisting of four short pieces by Isley Lynn, Raul Quiros Molina, Bahar Brunton and Karis E. Halsall, this play presents Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) from the points of view of by-standers, anti-FGM/C activists, health professionals, women who perpetuate\nthe practice and, finally, survivors.\n\n'Kubra' (Sydney, 2016): written by Dacia Maraini, this short play features a young woman who was subjected to FGM/C as a child and now, years later, brings her case to court in a search for justice. \n\nA Trial for Rape (Rome, 2018): adapted for theatre by Renato Chiocca from the international award-winning 1979 documentary of the same name, this play reveals how judicial procedures and attitudes toward sexual violence tend to turn rape survivors from accusers into accused.\n\nIn their interviews, the writers, directors and producers discuss their conception and production of the works collected in Staging Violence Against Women and Girls. The plays and their creators highlight the urgency of raising awareness of these forms of violence and giving voice to survivors.

Four bastard children of John of Gaunt and his mistress Katherine Swynford vigorously made their way in the world despite their questionable origin, and when all four were retrospectively declared legitimate they were each set on course for advancement. Following the coup in 1399 when their half-brother became King Henry IV, the Beauforts were placed at the centre of government, and for three generations they served the Lancastrian monarchy in its grandiose ambitions, and in its decline to eventual extinction.\n\nJohn Brunton discusses how the Beauforts took much of the blame for losing first the Hundred Years War for the English and then the Wars of the Roses for the Lancastrians. However, the account also shows the earls and dukes of Somerset and their families acted as a constant, a stabilising influence in the uncertain times of the fifteenth century.

How we can evade, protest, and sabotage today's pervasive digital surveillance by deploying more data, not less-and why we should.\n\nWith Obfuscation, Finn Brunton and Helen Nissenbaum mean to start a revolution. They are calling us not to the barricades but to our computers, offering us ways to fight today's pervasive digital surveillance-the collection of our data by governments, corporations, advertisers, and hackers. To the toolkit of privacy protecting techniques and projects, they propose adding obfuscation: the deliberate use of ambiguous, confusing, or misleading information to interfere with surveillance and data collection projects. Brunton and Nissenbaum provide tools and a rationale for evasion, noncompliance, refusal, even sabotage-especially for average users, those of us not in a position to opt out or exert control over data about ourselves. Obfuscation will teach users to push back, software developers to keep their user data safe, and policy makers to gather data without misusing it.\n\nBrunton and Nissenbaum present a guide to the forms and formats that obfuscation has taken and explain how to craft its implementation to suit the goal and the adversary. They describe a series of historical and contemporary examples, including radar chaff deployed by World War II pilots, Twitter bots that hobbled the social media strategy of popular protest movements, and software that can camouflage users' search queries and stymie online advertising. They go on to consider obfuscation in more general terms, discussing why obfuscation is necessary, whether it is justified, how it works, and how it can be integrated with other privacy practices and technologies.

\"Ho intitolato questo libro 'India segreta' perché racconta un'India che per migliaia d'anni è rimasta nascosta a occhi indagatori. Mi sono fatto strada attraverso una folla di sciocche superstizioni e di sedicenti fachiri allo scopo di sedermi ai piedi di autentici saggi e imparare là, di prima mano, i veri insegnamenti dello Yoga, utilizzando il metodo dell'indagine diretta. La vita spirituale dell'India esiste ancora ed io ho cercato di fornirne un'autentica testimonianza\". (Paul Brunton 1898-1981)

From humble beginnings as slaves in Egypt, the Mamluks trained as soldiers and rose in status to seize control of the largest empire in Islam. They ruled over Egypt and Syria for over two centuries. They saved the region from devastation by the Mongols and expelled the last of the Crusaders from the Holy Land. The Mamluks presided over the last flowering of the culture of medieval Islam, when scientific and artistic achievements were at least preserved, if not greatly advanced.\n\nThe first Mamluks were Turks, chosen for their reputed pugnacious nature. A Turk and his horse always made a formidable combination, according to writings from the early period of the Arab conquests. As author John Brunton explains, ‘The tibaq system made soldiers of slaves. As a hybrid of the harsh nomadic tribesman and the well-trained knight, a Mamluk faris (cadet trooper) could certainly produce results.’\n\nConquest by the Ottomans of 1517 may have ended the Mamluke Sultanate, but the Mamluks themselves continued as a powerful military class until modern times. They fought Napoleon when he invaded Egypt in 1798. Their alleged end in 1811 was as bloody as the rest of their history, but there is even evidence of the Mamluks continuing longer, possibly until the later nineteenth century.

La prima edizione di quest’opera apparve nel 1941. Era il frutto della collaborazione tra due amici, Louis Goodman e Alfred Gilman, professori all’Università di Yale, i quali avevano scritto un testo con l’obiettivo, come dissero nella Prefazione, di: correlare la farmacologia con le scienze mediche che a essa si rapportano; reinterpretare effetti e impieghi dei farmaci alla luce dei progressi compiuti nel campo della medicina e delle scienze biomediche di base; enfatizzare le applicazioni della farmacodinamica alla terapia; e fornire un manuale utile tanto agli studenti di farmacologia quanto ai medici. Oggi il \"Goodman & Gilman – Le basi farmacologiche della terapia\" è un autorevole testo di farmacologia a livello globale e quegli intenti continuano a guidare ogni nuova edizione, pur nell’evoluzione della disciplina, che richiede aggiornamenti continui. Un testo con molteplici autori tende a crescere in lunghezza a ogni nuova edizione. Per cercare di mantenere l’opera in un unico volume, i curatori hanno rivisto integralmente la precedente edizione eliminando ridondanze e sovrapposizioni tra i vari capitoli e chiedendo ai singoli autori di aggiornarli; hanno anche deciso di usare più figure per spiegare le vie di segnale e i meccanismi d’azione dei farmaci. In questa tredicesima edizione sono stati introdotti cinque nuovi capitoli, che si caratterizzano, a livello di contenuti, per la grande attenzione riservata alle immunoterapie; la conoscenze del sistema immunitario è infatti enormemente cresciuta nell’ultimo decennio e si sono scoperti diversi percorsi e meccanismi d’azione a cui associare le terapie immunitarie. Un’attenzione analoga è andata anche ai vaccini e al loro utilizzo terapeutico, per esempio come antitumorali, oltre che come presidio preventivo nelle malattie infettive. È stato inoltre ripensato l’approccio alla farmacologia dell’epatite acuta e cronica, in seguito alla rivoluzione portata dall’uso di agenti antivirali ad azione diretta, che hanno raggiunto una percentuale di successo notevole. E sono state aggiornate le sezioni relative alle patologie cardiache e polmonari, sia considerando le nuove classi di farmaci, sia gli aspetti fisiopatologici. Emergono anche questioni globali che è importante evidenziare: la prescrizione eccessiva di antibiotici e il loro uso sconsiderato nell’agricoltura e nell’allevamento favoriranno lo sviluppo di antimicrobico-resistenza; l’applicazione della tecnica di manipolazione genetica con CRISPR/cas9 offrirà molto probabilmente nuovi percorsi terapeutici.

This is the first textbook on a generally applicable control strategy for turbulence and other complex nonlinear systems. The approach of the book employs powerful methods of machine learning for optimal nonlinear control laws. This machine learning control (MLC) is motivated and detailed in Chapters 1 and 2. In Chapter 3, methods of linear control theory are reviewed. In Chapter 4, MLC is shown to reproduce known optimal control laws for linear dynamics (LQR, LQG). In Chapter 5, MLC detects and exploits a strongly nonlinear actuation mechanism of a low-dimensional dynamical system when linear control methods are shown to fail. Experimental control demonstrations from a laminar shear-layer to turbulent boundary-layers are reviewed in Chapter 6, followed by general good practices for experiments in Chapter 7. The book concludes with an outlook on the vast future applications of MLC in Chapter 8. Matlab codes are provided for easy reproducibility of the presented results. The book includes interviews with leading researchers in turbulence control (S. Bagheri, B. Batten, M. Glauser, D. Williams) and machine learning (M. Schoenauer) for a broader perspective. All chapters have exercises and supplemental videos will be available through YouTube.
