Traveling in bardo : the art of living in an impermanent world / by Slater, Ann Tashiauthor.;

Includes bibliographical references."In a world where nothing lasts forever, how do we live? Life is perpetually, endlessly filled with change: new jobs and new loves, unfamiliar places and faces. And entwined in that change is loss: loss of what was or is, or what could have been. In the midst of this shifting landscape, "Traveling in Bardo" invites us to embrace impermanence in a powerful way, rooted in ancient wisdom. Interweaving explorations of bardo in relation to marriage and friendship, parents and children, work and creativity with stories of her Tibetan ancestors and the Buddhist teachings on the fleeting nature of existence, Ann Tashi Slater illuminates what the teachings have to tell us in our contemporary lives. She relays vital wisdom from Tibetan culture, giving us a bold new framework to navigate moments of change and live life fully. During over forty years of writing and speaking about her Tibetan-American heritage and the relevance of Buddhism in Western society, Slater has come to see how Tibetan bardo views on impermanence can transform the way we live. In Tibetan belief, bardo is the interval between death and rebirth, as well as the intermediate state between birth and death. It also refers to liminal periods in life when the reality we know comes to an end. A time of great possibility, it offers us the opportunity to find lasting happiness in an impermanent world"-- Provided by publisher.

Lincoln day by day; a chronology, 1809-1865. / by United States.Lincoln Sesquicentennial Commission.(CARDINAL)216319;

Bibliography: volume 3, pages 331-348.v. 1. 1809-1848 / William E. Baringer -- v. 2. 1849-1860 / WIlliam E. Baringer -- v. 3. 1861-1865 / C. Percy Powell."When, thirty-five years ago, the Lincoln Centennial Association of Springfield, Illinois changed its character from a local organization celebrating Lincoln's birthday with an annual banquet to a research organization, the first project undertaken was an attempt to discover where Lincoln was and what he did every day of his life. In 1926 the pioneering result, a slim pamphlet, now a collector's item, Lincoln in the Year 1858, was published. Six others appeared at regular intervals (1859 and 1860 in 1927, 1854 in 1928, 1855 in 1929, 1856 and 1857 in 1930) ... The seven pamphlets, revised, were brought together in 1933 in Lincoln 1854-1861, Being the Day-by-Day Activities of Abraham Lincoln from January 1, 1854 to March 4, 1861, by Paul M. Angle, executive secretary of the Abraham Lincoln Association. The following eight years carried the chronology back to Lincoln's birth with three more volumes -- Lincoln 1847-1853 by Benjamin P. Thomas, 1936; and Lincoln 1840-1846 and Lincoln 1809-1839 by Harry E. Pratt, 1939 and 1941 -- and the series became known as one of the most useful reference works in the entire range of Lincoln scholarship. Lincoln's daily activities were chronicled by using every authentic source. In the resulting mountain of material, three sources proved most fruitful: Lincoln's writings; newspapers; and Illinois court records. The opening of the Robert Todd Lincoln Papers in July, 1947, provided much new material, and The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln, in nine volumes, appearing in 1953, almost doubled the number of known compositions from Lincoln's pen. Revising and reprinting the chronology was a project often discussed by Abraham Lincoln Association officials, but never accomplished, as the undertaking would be large and expensive, particularly if carried through Lincoln's years as President. The Lincoln Sesquicentennial Commission, after considering other possibilities, recognized the revision and enlargement of Lincoln Day-by-Day as a research tool indispensable to future generations of students. It is singularly appropriate that an idea conceived by an organization formed to celebrate Lincoln's Centennial should be completed by an agency created by Congress to celebrate Lincoln's Sesquicentennial. The Abraham Lincoln Association generously transferred its copyright to the Commission"--Preface

William Randolph Hearst, a new appraisal. by Winkler, John K.(John Kennedy),1891-1958.(CARDINAL)217007;

Does this explain William Randolph Hearst? -- Boyhood of a genius -- Harvard-birth of a journalist -- He multiplies himself in others -- New blood in park row -- Crusader extraordinary -- Journalist liberates a country -- In the political arena -- People's champion -- Standard oil letters -- Potpourri -- America first and forever -- Exeunt political ambition -- Movies and a touch of Don Juanism -- French dressing down -- Making and breaking with Franklin Roosevelt -- Anti-Communism, the greatest crusade -- Last years -- Appendix. Cavalcade of great newspaper comics -- Index.From Chapter 1: At rare intervals, in human experience, arises an individual of such towering ability and diversified talents as to assume not only leadership but domination of his chosen field. Such an individual was William Randolph Hearst. This phenomenal American placed his stamp upon world journalism as has no other, before or since. William Randolph Hearst evolved new technique in newspaper making, strikingly synchronizing his type, his text and his illustrations. An artist to his finder tips, he succeeded in challenging and arresting the attention of the eye and of the mind, achieving effects hitherto unattempted. His methods have been so widely imitated and so universally adopted that the originator has been all but lost sight of. Hearst's active career spanned two-thirds of a century, his life one-half that of his country. It was typical of him that he should have died in harness, a pad and pencil at his bedside. For, in all the triumphs and defeats and backwashed and vicissitudes of the crowded decades, Mr. Hearst took the fiercest pride in calling himself a working newspaper man. "If I had my life to live over again," he once remarked, "I would be a newspaper man, and merely try to be a better one." It is a matchless journalist that posterity will best remember him.--page 1.
