A brief essay of extraordinary conciseness, clarity and power, in which the teacher of S. N. Goenka sums up the technique of Vipassana. This short discourse was composed by Sayagyi U Ba Khin for his foreign students, who were not able to easily come to Myanmar for further practice and guidance. He recorded the discourse at least twice on early audio tape recorders. It was later transcribed and printed in various Buddhist journals where the editors gave it the title it has now. This small book includes a life sketch of U Ba Khin and an introductory appreciation of his role in the modern dispensation of the Buddha's teaching.

A New York Times–bestselling author’s account of a Georgia deputy accused of murder: “A gripping, no-holds-barred work of investigative journalism” (Steve Jackson, author of No Stone Unturned). When her missing boyfriend is found murdered, his body encased in cement inside a watering trough and dumped in a cattle field, a local sheriff’s deputy is arrested and charged with his murder. But as New York Times–bestselling author and investigative journalist M. William Phelps digs in, the truth leads to questions about her guilt. This hard-hitting account immerses readers in the life of the first female deputy in Oglethorpe County, Georgia, who claims a sexual harassment suit she filed against the sheriff led to a murder charge. Is Tracy Fortson guilty or innocent? You decide.
"The big cave sucked us in," write Borden and Brucker, and so begins their account (told in alternating first-person chapters) of the roles they played in extending Kentucky's Mammoth Cave from 144 miles in 1972 to over 300 miles in 1983. Generously illustrated with drawings and maps, their tale is both a history of spelunking and an underground adventure--for the non-claustrophobic--complete with competitive rivalries and physical peril. A sequel to The longest cave, by Brucker and Richard Watson (1973). Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR
