Reminiscence The Heat Exchange - LP 4040824086862

The power that emanated from this mysterious being (Swami Vivekananda) was so great that one all but shrank from it. It was overwhelming. It threatened to sweep everything before it...Still, those who feared to be caught in the current of this great power were but few; the others by thousands were drawn with the irresistible force, even as iron filings to a magnet. He had a power of attraction so great that those who came near him, men and women alike, even children, fell under the magic spell he cast.--Sister ChristineMore than sixty recollections by men and women who met and knew Swami Vivekananda are gathered together in this very special book. There is so much material about him by so many people, that it is possible to get a very good idea of what he was like, the power he possessed, and most important, the kind of person he was.This new, 5th edition, of Reminiscences of Swami Vivekananda includes twenty-two additional reminiscences as well as enlargements of some of the previous writings. More than 250 pages have been added, making the book an even greater resource for the understanding of Swami Vivekananda.

Excerpt from Reminiscences of an Ancient MarinerThere can be no gainsaying the fact that the dangers accompanying the calling of those who go to sea in ships and see the wonders of the deep and Of many lands are generally far greater and more numerous than those attending other occupations on land. Very few Old sailors indeed can say that they ended their career without having had any hair breadth escapes from death by shipwreck, collision Or some other of the many dangers they are most likely to have met with. As for myself, I had far more than my share Of dangers, as the following enumeration of some of them will show.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

THE BASIS OF THE MOVIE “CHE: PART ONE” FROM STEVEN SODERBERGH STARRING BENICIO DEL TOROThe dramatic art and acute perceptiveness evident in Che Guevara’s early diaries fully blossom in this highly readable and often entertaining account of the guerrilla war that led to the 1959 Cuban Revolution. Reminiscences is one of the two books for Steven Soderbergh’s biopic (along with The Bolivian Diary).Feature chapters describe Che’s first meeting with Fidel in Mexico, the mythical moment when Che had to choose between a knapsack of medicine and another of ammunition, and the anguished story of the murdered puppy.This new, thoroughly revised edition includes for the first time corrections made to the diary by Che himself and a preface by his daughter Aleida . “Reflects the life of an extraordinary and important man.”—Library Journal “When Che Guevara cast his lot with Marxism and revolution the world of letters suffered an incalculable loss.

He is lucid, candid and revealing.”—The Cleveland Press     Features of this new edition include:  Preface by Aleida Guevara Revised translation Biographical note Chronology Glossary 32 pp black and white photos

Sun Tzu was the commander in chief of China's Kingdom of Wu and gave the world, what is perhaps considered a timeless classic work on strategy: "The Art of War". This work aims to explore the mind of Sun Tzu and reveal the thinking behind the strategic principles that he propounded. To achieve this effect the author has cast himself back 2500 years in time...back to the hut high in the mountains and deep in the forest where the ancient general chose to spend the final years of his life, spending his time reviewing the triumphs and defeats and inscribing his experiences onto bamboo strips. This book rediscovers these bamboo strips and reveals his secret reminisciences. The aim of this work is to fill the reader with insight into their relationships with others at every level from the personal to the multinational, as well as evoking the sense of time and place of China 2500 years ago.

Written in his own hand, and finished only weeks before his death, Reminiscences by General Douglas MacArthur spans more than half a century of modern history. These pages show a man whose unique vantage point at the center of the stage enabled him to illuminate major controversies of our time, and whose views and ideas - never before published in full - are now bound to bring new and unexpected reappraisals to the conflicts in which he himself was the central figure. Douglas MacArthur served under eight presidents. He was honored as few men have been. His genius for command, and his ability to implement that command by strategy, stand as landmarks in military history. No man was ever so outspoken in his commitment to his troops or in his beliefs. A legend in his own lifetime, he was a man who aroused controversy, yet stood above the awe and the conflicts he inspired. Never before has one soldier's life so completely reflected a nation's military history. After graduation from West Point with the highest average ever achieved by a cadet, MacArthur served in Vera Cruz during the Mexican uprisings and then as military attache in the Far East, where he first perceived Japanese aspirations for hegemony the Orient. His courage in the trenches and his leadership of the famous Rainbow Division during the First World War were cited by General Pershing, who seven times awarded MacArthur the Silver Star.

Confederate General Early pushed his troops up close to this fort not long ago. It was here he got the nearest to the city of Washington in his attempt to capture it. There was quite a sharp battle in front of this fort. This is the 9th. The Regiment moved its camp today. We are now to the right of Fort Gains, we have a very nice camp ground. On the 10th we received orders, while out on Battalion drill, to report at Fort Reno. We immediately marched to Fort Reno, stacked arms, went about three miles farther to cut and clear away underbrush and sprouts in front of the line of fortifications. We saw the place where a few Confederates were killed in the late battle with General Early. In the evening we returned to camp near Fort Gains. On the 11th, two Captains, three Lieutenants, and one hundred and forty-five enlisted men were detailed for guard duty. When the guard reported for duty there was considerable trouble about where it should be stationed to please all who were concerned. CHAPTER XIII We received orders to be ready to move at a moment's notice. On the morning of August 14th, we were up at one a. m. and started on our march at daylight, and crossed the Potomac on the long bridge near fort Ethan Allen. The road is very rocky. We went into camp on Difficult Creek on Mr. Peacock's farm; good camp and water. We are in Virginia now. August 15th, up at 2 a. m. marched to Leesburg and went into camp. There are very nice farms in this part of the country. Leesburg is thirty miles from Washington City. On the 17th we are on the march at 2 a. m. We guard a train. We went into camp four miles from Snicker's Gap, we lay there long enough to get our dinner. W...

Published for the first time, Hannah Mather Crocker's early 19th-century Reminiscences presents a unique history of Boston and its environs from the 1620s to the 1820s. A leading female writer and women's rights advocate, and the granddaughter of Cotton Mather, Crocker provides a significant resource for women's historians, scholars of feminist political thought, and early American historians alike. This book contains a masterfully transcribed and annotated version of the text and appendix from the original manuscript, which has been housed at the NEHGS archives for over 130 years. Crocker's history chronicles everything from Puritan law, colonial and provincial history, interactions with the British, French, and Native Americans, the establishment of Boston churches, and Boston's economic growth, paying special attention to women's work and culture. This book also presents Crocker's treasury of poetry including a poem by Phillis Wheatley dedicated to Hannah, and a comical recipe for chowder.

Nadezhda Konstantinovna Krupskaya was a founding member of the Russian Bolshevik Party and the wife of Vladimir Lenin from 1898 until his death in 1924. As both his closest political collaborator and personal confidant, Krupskaya offers invaluable insights into the life and thought of the most important leader of the Russian Revolution. The portrait of Lenin that emerges is of a man unwavering in his convictions, but also—contrary to the mythology later woven around him—quick to laugh and tender in his affections.

This fascinating book presents the unusual career of a scientist of Chinese Malaysian origin, Ho Peng Yoke, who became a humanist and rendered his services to both Eastern and Western intellectual worlds. It describes how Ho adapted to working under changing social and academic environments in Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, Hong Kong and England. His activities also covered East Asia, Europe and North America.Ho Peng Yoke worked in collaboration with Joseph Needham of Cambridge over different periods spanning half a century in the monumental series Science and Civilization in China. Ho subsequently succeeded Needham as Director of the Needham Research Institute, where he held the post for 12 years. In the introduction to the final volume of that series, the Oxford scholar Mark Elvin remarked that Ho "had long piloted the ship through difficult times." This book tells the story and more.
