Download or read book The Golden Lands written by Vikram Lall and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2014-09-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking survey of the Buddhist architecture of Southeast Asia, abundantly illustrated with new color photography and 3-D renderings Over the course of its 2,500-year history, Buddhism has found expression in countless architectural forms, from the great monastic complexes of ancient India to the fortified dzongs of Bhutan, the rock-carved temple grottoes of China, the wooden shrines of Japan, and the colorful wats of Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand. Architecture of the Buddhist World, a projected six-volume series by the noted architect and scholar Vikram Lall, represents a new multidisciplinary approach to this fascinating subject, showing how Buddhist thought and ritual have interacted with local traditions across the Asian continent to produce masterpieces of religious architecture. The first volume in the series, The Golden Lands, is devoted to Southeast Asia, home to many of the most spectacular Buddhist monuments. Following a general introduction to the early history of Buddhism and its most characteristic architectural forms (the stupa, the temple, and the monastery), Lall examines the Buddhist architecture of Myanmar, Vietnam, Indonesia, Cambodia, Thailand, and Laos in turn. For each country, he provides both a historical overview and case studies of noteworthy structures. Lall’s concise and accessible text is illustrated throughout with new color photography, as well as 3-D architectural renderings that make even the most complex structures easily comprehensible. The monuments that Lall considers in The Golden Lands range from the modest Bupaya stupa, constructed in Bagan, Myanmar, in the third century AD, to the vast complex of Borobudur in Central Java, the world’s largest Buddhist monument; his achievement is to place them all within a single panorama of history, religion, and artistic innovation.

Book Synopsis Looking Forward, Looking Back by : Jana Pohl
Download or read book Looking Forward, Looking Back written by Jana Pohl and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2011 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How is the life-altering event of migration narrated for children, especially if it was caused by Anti-Semitism and poverty? What of the country of origin is remembered and what is forgotten, and what of the target country when the migration is imagined there a century later? Looking Forward, Looking Back examines today’s representation of Jewish mass migration from Eastern Europe to America around the turn of the last century. It explores the collective story that emerges when American authors look back at this exodus from an Eastern European home to a new one to be established in America. Focusing on children’s literature, it investigates a wide range of texts including young adult literature as well as picture books and hence sheds light on the dynamics of the verbal and the visual in generating images of the self and other, the familiar and the strange. This book is of interest to scholars in the field of imagology, children’s literature, cultural studies, American studies, Slavic studies, and Jewish studies.

Book Synopsis The Golden Land by : Ann Binder Anovitz
Download or read book The Golden Land written by Ann Binder Anovitz and published by . This book was released on 2022-06-15 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE GOLDEN LAND is a memoir of my father's life, taken from the stories he told his grandchildren.My father always was a storyteller. Before he passed, he sat with his family and we recorded some of his stories. Sometimes the stories were recounted in no particular order, and some of the tapes later proved difficult to hear. With the help of my son-in-law writer, what started as a simple task became a years-long research project and writing effort that resulted in this story of our family's journey to America.This book is based on my father's memories. His stories, told from his viewpoint, might differ from stories recounted by others who survived similar journeys. But as a whole, these stories are America - the story of all the immigrants coming here from all the other countries of the world, looking for the freedom to live their own way and make something of themselves. This book could be the story of your family. I have done my best, and I give you this book with all my love.Ann Binder Anovitz1935-2019

Book Synopsis Splendour of Buddhism in Burma by : Pascal Christel
Download or read book Splendour of Buddhism in Burma written by Pascal Christel and published by Partridge Publishing Singapore. This book was released on 2020-10-18 with total page 771 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SPLENDOUR OF BUDDHISM IN BURMA A JOURNEY TO THE GOLDEN LAND BY PASCAL CHRISTEL An illustrated book offers a wide-ranging overview of Buddhism in Myanmar. Having been struck by the wonder and visual magnificence of Myanmar (Burma) during his travels there in 2015, Christel was inspired to write this work exploring the intricacies of the land, which, as he points out, has yet to be completely overrun with tourists. Visitors may find the place difficult to understand in any case, the author explains: “This is not a simple issue of democracy versus military junta. The practice of Theravada Buddhism for almost 90 per cent of the population includes some fatalism in order to reach nirvana.” Although Christel’s volume looks at a broad spectrum of the country’s life and art, the main focus here is on the many sects and flavors of Buddhism and the various ways the religion intertwines itself with all levels of society. Buddhism, the author writes, “is all over, sovereign in the behavior of people, their way of life, their kindness, and their beliefs, but also in the art and architecture.” That architecture in all its variety forms the heart of his book and is brought alive in a profusion of prints, ancient illustrations, and hundreds of original images by assorted photographers. Christel explores dozens of the nation’s art forms, from pottery and lacquer work to ancient manuscripts and various architectural styles. He explains everything with an assured combination of enthusiasm and knowledge, whether he’s writing about a tiny, obscure shrine perched on stilts off some little-visited waterway or an elaborate temple complex. The energy in tackling all of these details never flags; the author is always excited about the next discovery. “Burma is a treasure and a delight,” he writes. “One’s eyes are never at rest, and one must have the camera always ready for a shot.” Readers, whether they’ve been to Myanmar or not, will feel as if they’ve trekked all over the country with a friendly, knowledgeable guide. A comprehensive, engrossing, and splendidly illustrated guide to the Buddhist art and architecture of Myanmar. Review Program: KIRKUS INDIE Categories: ART & PHOTOGRAPHY | PHILOSOPHY & RELIGION
Book Synopsis Rough-Hewn Land by : Keith Heyer Meldahl
Download or read book Rough-Hewn Land written by Keith Heyer Meldahl and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2013-05 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Rough-Hewn Land tells the geologic story of the American West--the story of its rocks, rivers, mountains, earthquakes, and mineral wealth, including gold. It tells it by taking you on a 1000-mile-long field trip across the rough side of the continent from the California coast to the Rocky Mountains. This book puts you on the outcrop, geologic hammer in hand, to explore the evidence for how the spectacular, rough-hewn lands of the West came to be. When North America broke free from Eurasia and Africa some 200 million years ago, it triggered a cascade of violent geologic events that shaped the West we see today. As the west-moving continent crunched across the seabed of the ancient Pacific, islands and assorted pieces of ocean floor collected against its prow to build California--and plant gold there too. Meanwhile, mountains squeezed upward from California to Colorado, and vast quantities of molten rock seeded the crust with precious metals while spewing volcanic fire across the land. Later, the land stretched like an accordion to form the washboard-like Basin and Range province and Great Basin within it, while California began to crackle along the San Andreas fault. Throughout the West today, a near-constant drumroll of earthquakes testifies to a world still reshaping itself in response to the ceaseless movements of the Earth's tectonic plates. Rough-Hewn Land weaves these stories into the human history of the West. As we follow the adventures of John C. Frémont, Mark Twain, the Donner party, and other historic characters, we see how geologic forces have shaped human experience, just as they direct the fate of the West today"--

Download or read book Suvarnabhumi written by K Michael Hilderbrand and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-11-21 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the year 550 A.D., in the heart of the Persian Empire, Caspar, an ordinary Christian merchant, has a dream and a strange encounter with men from the Golden Land. A chain of events launches Caspar and his cousin Rafael on a dangerous journey across the sea to a foreign kingdom. Sent by the Patriarch of the Church of the East in Seleucia (now Baghdad), Caspar and Rafael travel to bring the Gospel to a land the ancients called Suvarnabhumi, the Golden Land (the land we now call Thailand.) This is a story not yet told, the lost history of Christianity in the East. This is a novel, but it is based on actual historical events, battles, emperors and people. Several of the characters in this novel are based on real individuals who lived and died during the sixth century before the rise of Islam.Most people do not know the history of the Christian Church in the East. From the time St. Thomas landed in India in 52 A.D., the Christian church has sent missionaries east to Asia. When Catholics landed in Asia in the 1500's they found the Christian church already established in India, in China and in Southeast Asia. This is the story of a family that sacrificed everything to bring the story of Jesus to the people of a land we now call Thailand.

Book Synopsis The Tome of God by : John J. Mulhall
Download or read book The Tome of God written by John J. Mulhall and published by Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency. This book was released on 2017-08-14 with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tome of God traces the history of the Numerist Religion, starting with the arrival from the stars to the final suppression by the Church in the seventeenth century. The work encompasses the eras of Pythagoras, Pharaoh Akhenaten, the destruction of Jerusalem, the Crusades, and the genocide against the Cathars in France. This beautiful religion is peaceful and is the only universal faith. It preaches – and proves – that God does not speak to mankind in words, but in mathematics. God is not name but Number! Says the author, “In contrast to other religious works, which are inherently violent, this work demonstrates that violence proves their fallibility. Its abiding tenets are based on equality between man and woman, and the need to abandon the tribe and become universal.”
