2018 Reprint of 1962 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition software. Reprint of the First Edition. John L. Austin was a British philosopher of language and leading proponent of ordinary language philosophy, perhaps best known for developing the theory of speech acts. Austin pointed out that we use language to do things as well as to assert things, and that the utterance of a statement like "I promise to do so-and-so" is best understood as doing something - making a promise - rather than making an assertion about anything. Hence the name of one of his best-known works How to Do Things with Words. Austin, in providing his theory of speech acts, makes a significant challenge to the philosophy of language, far beyond merely elucidating a class of morphological sentence forms that function to do what they name. Austin's work ultimately suggests that all speech and all utterance is the doing of something with words and signs, challenging a metaphysics of language that would posit denotative, propositional assertion as the essence of language and meaning.

Contemporary life is defined by excess. There must always be more, there is never enough. We need a surplus to what we need to be able to truly enjoy what we have. Slavoj Zizek's guide to surplus (and why it's enjoyable) begins by arguing that what is surplus to our needs is by its very nature unsubstantial and unnecessary. But, perversely, without this surplus, we wouldn't be able to enjoy, what is substantial and necessary. Indeed, without the surplus we wouldn't be able to identify what was the perfect amount. Is there any escape from the vicious cycle of surplus enjoyment or are we forever doomed to simply want more? Engaging with everything from The Joker film to pop songs and Thomas Aquinas to the history of pandemics, Zizek argues that recognising the society of enjoyment we live in for what it is can provide an explanation for the political impasses in which we find ourselves today. And if we begin, even a little bit, to recognise that the nuggets of 'enjoyment' we find in excess are as flimsy and futile, might we find a way out?

Scientifically defined in 1880 by the Curie brothers, piezoelectricity - from the Greek piezein, meaning to press (squeeze), and ilektron, meaning amber, a material with electrostatic properties - is a phenomenon with many applications. The related piezoelectric materials have been undergoing a long-lasting evolution over the years until today. The field of organic and inorganic piezoelectric materials is continuously expanding in terms of new substances used, new structures, and new applications. The seven chapters of this book present modern aspects and technological advances in the field of piezoelectric materials and applications. To present a balanced view of the field, some chapters focus on new piezoelectric materials and structures, while others examine interesting applications of piezoelectric sensors, energy harvesters, and actuators.

Before there was The Secret, there was As a Man Thinketh. For more than a century, James Allen's landmark 1903 essay on the power of thought has inspired people in all walks of life. Allen endeavored to write with simple clarity, to make his teachings universally accessible. He examines the ways in which thought shapes behavior, and through it, our relationships with others and with the world around us. Chapter by chapter, Allen explores the long-term effect of focused, positive thought in every area of life, and on identity itself. "Thought allied fearlessly to purpose becomes creative force: he who knows this is ready to become something higher and stronger than a mere bundle of wavering thoughts and fluctuating sensations; he who does this has become the conscious and intelligent wielder of his mental powers." -James Allen

"With Giten's book on Jesus, it is like Jesus is coming back. It is the true Jesus."- Prem Mukta, Artist & Music management, participant in satsang with Giten, Stockholm"No one has been able to deliver the message of Jesus so fantastically beautiful that Giten has managed in the book "The way, the truth and the life." Finally we got his message in the original. I am shaken and stunned.The religious words that Giten formulated can make anyone mentally stunned. These words create an inner silence and a deep spiritual wonder for life. Giten has shaken me. I hope the readers also discover his greatness."-Brage Norin, professor in theoretical physics"Through understanding meditation, I can understand Jesus. I can understand the innocence, beauty, silence and the truth of Jesus.Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, but the way has to be walked. The Bible and Jesus disciples have totally misunderstood what Jesus really was doing during 40 days in silence in the desert. He was meditating in the desert, which is the way to discover the inner being, the kingdom of God, which is the whole message of Jesus."- Swami Dhyan GitenThis book is a compilation of Swami Dhyan Giten's lectures on Jesus Christ during satsang between May - July, 2015, in Stockholm.
