Bhagavad-Gita is the most beautiful, perhaps the only true philosophical song existing in any known tongue’ – so opined William von Humboldt, who wrote seven-hundred verses in its praise.
In this modern rendition, the beauty of the Sanskrit slokas is reflected in the rhythmic flow of the English verse of poetic proportions even as the attendant philosophy of the song that is Bhagvad-Gita is captured in contemporary idiom for easy comprehension.
It is a matter of consensus that Bhagvad-Gita in the present length of seven hundred slokas has many an interpolation to it, but no meaningful attempt has ever been made to delve into the nature and extent, not to speak of the effect of these on the Hindu society at large. The methodical codification of interpolations carried out here, for the first time ever, puts the true character of Gita in proper perspective. Identified here are hundred and ten slokas of deviant nature and or of partisan character, the source of so much misunderstanding about Bhagvad-Gita, the book extraordinary, in certain sections of the Hindu fold. In the long run, exposing and expunging these mischievous insertions is bound to bring in new readers from these quarters to this over two millennia old classic besides altering the misconceptions of the existing adherents.

Paul de Kruif - The Male Hormone
Perma Books P 12, 1948
Cover design uncredited
Promoted with the slogans "Books of Permanent Value for Permanent Use" and "Books to Keep", the early Permabooks were priced at 35 cents. They did not feature the flexible covers usually associated with paperback books. Instead, as the name implies, the first Permabooks were designed in a more durable format with board covers. The interior looked like a paperback, but the exterior, measuring 4⅜" wide by 6½" deep, gave the impression of a reduced-size hardcover. The edges of the stiff, unflexible board cover extended 1/8" past the trim of the interior pages.
The concept was heralded in a back cover blurb:
Permabooks combine the virtues of handiness for the pocket and durability for the library shelf. They are selected with care to provide reliable books for education and recreation. Each has been printed from new plates and bound in boards with special wear-resistant finish.
The initial format only lasted three years, with Doubleday switching to the standard paperback appearance in 1951.

PER INGRANDIRE L’IMMAGINE CLICCATE QUA (CLICK HERE TO ENLARGE)
Ai "Non Trekkers" probabilmente sfuggirà il senso della battuta " E' morto, Jim! "
Cliccate QUA per una breve spiegazione! :-)...
...e QUA per un filmatino che chiarisce il tormentone
Io già me li figuro, i Gruppi di Auto-Aiuto dei Trekkers puri & duri all'entrata del novello Star "J J Lost" Trek...: sessioni di sostegno ai vulcaniani in gramaglie per la versione illogica e ipercinetica del Neo-Spock, pat-pat sulle spalle dei Klingoniani, orfani di creste cornee e incavolati per la figura di Ga'akh imposta loro da JJuccio, palate di tranquillanti ai cultori del Tecno-Blabber, rivoltati dal disdicevole uso del concetto di teletrasporto...
Ce li vedo - blindati in prima fila al cinema (i trekkers sono esploratori e curiosi di natura) - mentre cercano di non farsi resettare la memoria da quel perfido Borg di JJ Lost!
Ore ed ore sul lettino terapeutico del dottor Mac Coy, intere giornate nello studio di Deanna Troi, perfino un weekend nella Sala Dabo di Quark o una pinta di caffè della Janeway... le proveranno tutte, ma non so se riusciranno a riprendersi dal plasticume 3D, CG, Fast&Furious, ActioAcrionAction della cinematografia del XXI secolo!
----------------
Ebbene lo confesso! Non ho ancora visto il nuovo giocattolone pseudo-Trek di J J Abrams e - per dirla tutta - sono sufficientemente Old-Trek-Nerd da non essere particolarmente ansioso di sorbirmi la weltanschauung fantascientifica di Mr.Lost...
Confesso altresì che nel caso di questo pezzo (vignetta & articoletto) si configura un esempio plateale di Critica Preventiva, id est quella particolare forma retorico-cronoclastica che consente di criticare un'opera (sovente con disdicevole asprezza) PRIMA che il critico stesso abbia preso visione dell'opera citata!
Confesso quindi per la terza volta che già avevo trovato il primo J J Trek un tonitruante minestrone AcchiappaTrend e che - sentiti i primi pareri & annusate le prime impressioni di amici trekkers e non trekkers - immagino che pure questo sequel non sia da meglio!
Confesso (per l'ultima volta) che "sì!" son cresciuto con i telefilm della serie originale, quelli con i pianeti di cartone, i pigiamini colorati e i raggi dei phasers disegnati su pellicola col pennarello... quelli con gli Andoriani dalle antenne di panno-lenci e i "Mostri-fatti-di-pura-energia" perchè era più economico usare un paio di spot colorati che imbracare un poveraccio con improbabili vestiti da Gorn...
ma anche e soprattutto quei telefilm dove si respirava davvero il "Sense of Wonder, si trattavano temi importanti e l'Avventura (grazie anche ad una bella ciurma di Autori con la A maiuscola) non era solo BUMBUM-BANGBANG-ZOT! ma era To boldly go where no one has gone before!
Certo, c'erano anche un sacco di cavolate, il ritmo era quel che era e la CG non esisteva ancora neppure NEI romanzi di SF (figuriamoci nel mondo reale)...
Però proprio non riesco ad abituarmici a questi BUMBUM-BANGBANG-ZOT di oggi dove pare che pure una cacata di mosca sia fighissima, purché la si veda in 3D, CG, con Augmented Reality e Interactive Blabber,,,
Insomma... "Beam me up, Scotty!" :-)

Today’s Moise Comics’Scoop refers to this piece of critics (in Italian)

Samantha Pearl & Cath Whitefield in HOW TO BE AN OTHER WOMAN [Image © Simon Kane www.simonkanephotography.co.uk]
Looking now at the scraps, they're worth keeping. Elsewhere there are more than scraps. I kept two photo albums of two last holidays—New York in 1989 when I was in my last prime & about to gather apace downhill & Seville in 1992 when I knew the game was up. When I arrived in rehab I wrapped them both in newspaper & secured with duck tape; that way they've stayed. I might do the same with the scraps—sufficiently secure against casual glances & involuntary 'If-only's' but still around as evidence of a fall & a getting back. I'm secure about how things were & how they're part of what is here now. Arranging them is a pastime & a play; essential for continuing health.
Now that Sambha, Prabhouti, Pavitr, and the other women in the self-help group know each other they can offer continuing support even though Chetna's direct involvement has ended.
Previous lives never return. Giving up drink doesn't return the drinker to how-things-used-to-be but without the drink. Family & friends might want it & expect it but it never is. The drinker without the drink rarely anticipates the expectations of others who want the 'old Jimmy' back. But the 'old Jimmy' never went to the pub to sit looking at a lemonade. I never went back. Never made contact. Never picked up loose ends. Never sought absolution. Everyone had sensibly moved on. So should I.

It's essentially a complete guide to life, with instruction on everything from curing pimples, to writing love letters, homemaking, cooking, proposing marriage, and on, and on, and on. It's really quite fascinating, I wish I could post the whole thing. The title on the binding is "Searchlights -or- Light -on- Dark Corners" On the cover, it says "Safe Counsel".
Spicing up life: Members of the women's Self-Help Group in Korba, Chhattisgarh are involved in making pickles.
Muriel Hemingway's book cover is beautiful. Looks like a magazine cover. Ladies Who Launch membes were able to meet Muriel, ask her questions and get their book signed by her at the Ladies Who Launch LIVE Event, 2007. Get details about more Ladies Who Launch LIVE Events at www.ladieswholaunch.com.
