Capitalism, Communism & Cowism – The world is in search of an economic system that works for the people and the Planet. And this search has been going on for the last one hundred years without much success. The industrial revolution started with capitalism but the communist revolution overthrew it in many places. Socialism was proposed as a viable alternative but it collapsed before too long. Capitalism in its various forms and shapes is still running but every now and then it runs into serious difficulties.
Cow And Humanity – Made For Each Other – We have one planet to live on and all our needs have to be satisfied with whatever is in here. We can not import a thing from other planets for our survival, no matter how much we advertise our dubious moon missions by getting worthless rocks and blowing billions. This senseless exploitation of resources can not go on forever. This cradle-to-grave economics in which we turn every natural resource into toxic waste is inherently self-destructive because, in nature, there is no such thing as waste. So-called waste generated by one living being is effectively utilized by another and so on until nothing is left over. This is called the cycle of life. But today our linear system of living which is immensely destructive has replaced this natural cyclical system.
This book (Oil – Final Countdown To A Global Crisis And Its Solutions) examines the lifeline of modern living – petroleum. This is what flows In our veins today. Every aspect of our life, from food to transport to housing, is petroleum-based. Either it’s petroleum or it's nothing. Our existence is draped in layers of petroleum. This book is a bible on the subject and covers every conceivable aspect of it, from its strategic importance to future prospects. Then the book goes on to delineate important strategic solutions to an unprecedented crisis that’s coming our way.
This book (Noble Cow) deals with the ability of animals to feel, perceive, or be conscious, or to have subjective experiences. In Taiwan, a cow separated from its owner goes on a hunger strike. In rural Cambodia, a motherless child finds a mother in a cow as he suckles her. Down in Australia a flood heroine, after rescuing her owner, is leading a pampered existence. In Brazil’s Pantanal swamps, a cow was seen wandering among the crocodiles while in India, the land of holy cows, a bull hero is booked out for two years. Meanwhile, up in the Alps, the Swiss are combating stress by renting out the mountain cows while in Germany, the nation’s focus has been on Yvonne, the runaway cow. There are numerous such stories here. Cows rule and cow rock! The great blind spot of our modern Civilization is the mistreatment and disregard for non-human life in nearly every capacity.
As the title suggests, this book deals with the subject of cows. Normally we see cows as docile, dumb creatures, grazing nonchalantly in some far distance. But there is a whole lot more going on in their lives. Numerous stories from around the World are presented herein to substantiate this point. Where does all the war, racism, terrorism, violence, and cruelty that’s so endemic to human civilization come from? Why do humans exploit and massacre each other so regularly? Why is our species so violence-prone? To answer these questions we would do well to think about our exploitation and slaughter of animals and its effect on human civilization.

Cows Are Cool – When you see a cow standing in the pasture blandly chewing some dreary bit of grass and staring into the middle distance you’d never guess what lies beneath that placid exterior. It may look like she doesn’t have a care in the world, but there’s a lot going on behind those big brown eyes. Cows are as diverse as people. Well… did you hear of a cow who befriended a leopard, or a cow who licked a dead child and somehow revived him? Do you know about the brave cow who escaped from a slaughterhouse and another one who saved a large chunk of Canadian territory?
How egocentric of humans to think we are the only beings who can think, feel bond with others, etc. As the “dominating” species, we have a responsibility to care for and protect the entire planet, including the other animals. Those who describe animals as not having any thoughts or feelings come closer to the description they’re trying to describe. It's enormously puzzling that extreme suffering only gets widely questioned if it is the suffering of members of the human species. It is extraordinary how many people just accept the appalling treatment of such a vast number of animals. Animals have souls and we have a duty to respect them! Anything less is to deny one’s humanity and one’s own soul! Numerous stories outlined in this book prove this point, beyond the shadow of a doubt.
(Sri Gopala Tapani Upanishad) Sri Gopala-tapani Upanisad is the favorite Upanisad among Vaisnavas. Great acharyas such as Sri Visvesvara, Sri Jiva Gosvami, Srila Visvanath Cakravarti Thakura, and Sri Baladeva Vidyabhusana wrote commentaries on the Gopala-Tapani Upanisad. Sri Bhaktivinoda Thakura also wrote a commentary on Gopala-tapani, but unfortunately, it is not available. We are including the commentaries of both Baladeva Vidyabhusana and Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura in this edition. Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Prabhupada compared the Vedic literature to the body of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The Upanisads are Krsna’s head, the Samhitas are His body, and the Brahmanas and Tapanis are His bodily limbs. The Gopala Tapani is studied by followers of the Pippalada branch of the Atharva Veda. That is why this Tapani is also known as Atharvana Upanisad.
