E-book Buddhist Statecraft in East Asia

Perhaps the best way to approach this volume on Buddhist statecraft is with the following observation in mind: the proper functioning of the state is a Buddhist concern. Throughout the history of the tradition, Buddhist have engaged questions of statecraft in their creation and propagation of texts, doctrines, rituals, institutions, and visual cultures. Political actors have, in turn, employed …

E-book The Emergence of Modern Hinduism : Religion on the Margins of Colonialism

For millennia, one of the most consistent characteristics of Hindu traditions has been variation. Scholarly work on contemporary Hinduism and its premodern antecedents ably captures this complexity, paying attention to a wide spectrum of ideologies, practices, and positions of authority. Studies of religion in ancient India stress doctrinal variation in the period, when ideas about pe…

E-book The Pilgrim's Progess

In all my reading of Bunyan, what has gripped me most is his sufering and how he responded to it—what it made of him, and what it might make of us. All of us come to our tasks with a history and many predispositions. I come to John Bunyan with a growing sense that sufering is a normal, useful, essential, and God-ordained element in Christian life and ministry—not only for the sake of weanin…

E-book Black Eggs : Poems by Kurihara Sadako

Poems and poets : people greet them with scorn andpoke fun at them. Why is that? Because people take the realm of poetry to be the depic-tion of simple sensual beauty, self-complacent emotionalpain and dark melancholy—things not real mirrored in mor-bid sensibilities. If poetry required only a unique sensitivityand dreamy beauty, then hysterics and the mentally il…

E-book Working-Class Literature(s) : Historical and International Perspectives

The idea for this collection was born out of a chance encounter over coffee in a U.S. Starbucks. Over a wide-ranging conversation, we discussed the state of working-class literature as a field, the de-cline of Marxism in academia, our favorite working-class authors, and the lack of good coffe shops on U.S. campuses. We both gen-erally laid out the various trajectories of scholarly rec…

E-book Reinforcement Learning : An Introduction

The idea that we learn by interacting with our environment is probably the first to occur to us when we think about the nature of learning. When an infant plays, waves its arms, or looks about, it has no explicit teacher, but it does have a direct sensorimotor connection to its environment. Exercising this connection produces a wealth of information about cause and effect, about the consequence…

E-book Antiquity and Photography : Early Views of Ancient Mediterranean Sites

At their first public demonstration in Paris in 1839, photographs seemed nothing short of miraculous in their ability to record a mirror image of actuality. From the moment its inventors promoted the camera's usefulness for documenting Egyptian hieroglyphs, photography has played a decisive role in the interpretation of antiquity. Early photographers focused their lenses on marble-pillared temp…

E-book Psychological Disorders

It is common to find students new to psychology who believe the study of psychological disorders is psychology. These students are often disappointed to find out that it is only a small piece of what psychologists study and that they usually have to wait until the very end of the class to begin studying it. Moreover, once they get to this unit, students bring with them preconceived notions rega…

E-book The Boy at the Top of the Mountain

Although Pierrot Fischer’s father didn’t die in the Great War, his mother Émilie always maintained it was the war that killed him.

The boy who sat in front of him at school hadn’t laid eyes on his mother in the four years since she’d run off with an encyclopaedia salesman, while the classroom bully, who cal…

E-book Sacred Views of Saint Francis : The Sacro Monte di Orta

E-book John Dewey : The Global Public and Its Problems

It might seem rather bizarre to claim that a return to the work of John Dewey can offer a greater appreciation of globalization and global democracy at the start of the twenty-first century. Dewey appears to be a creature of a wholly different epoch; born in 1859, the year Darwin published Origin of the Species and just short of eighteen months before the Battle of Fort Sumter, Dewey’s life w…

E-book Morals not Knowledge

As my writing has unfolded over the years it was not until recently that I was able to see the connections between my seemingly varied interests. In retrospect I have always been writing about religion and science, or at least religion and knowledge, but in recent years I became involved with the “religion and science debate.” This is an interdisciplinary group of scholars who examin…

The Anthropocene Reviewed

Sejarah umat manusia adalah catatan besar tentang aneka paradoks. Bagaimana kita bisa sangat welas asih dan sekaligus sangat kejam. Kita begitu pantang menyerah dan sekaligus cepat putus asa.

Dan kenyataan itu dipertajam dan diperluas oleh teknologi digital ketika semua hal parad…

The innocent man

John Grisham's first work of nonfiction, an exploration of small town justice gone terribly awry, is his most extraordinary legal thriller yet.

Given the importance of what they do, and the controversies that often surround them, and the violent people they sometimes confront, it is remarkable that in the history of this country only four active federal judges have been murdered.

E-book Master skylark

There was an unwonted buzzing in the east end of Stratford on that next to the last day of April, 1596. It was as if some one had thrust a stick into a hive of bees and they had come whirling out to see. The low stone guard-wall of old Clopton bridge, built a hundred years before by rich Sir Hugh, sometime Mayor of London, was lined with straddling boys, like strawberries upon a spear of gr…
