Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Record of Buddhist Kingdoms is a classic travelogue that records the Chinese monk Faxian’s journey in the early fifth century CE to Buddhist sites in Central and South Asia in search of sacred texts. In the nineteenth century, it traveled west to France, becoming in translation the first scholarly book about “Buddhist Asia,” a recent invention of Europe. This text fascinated European academic Orientalists and was avidly studied by Hegel, Schopenhauer, and Nietzsche. The book went on to make a return journey east: it was reintroduced to Inner Asia in an 1850s translation into Mongolian, after which it was rendered into Tibetan in 1917. Amid decades of upheaval, the text was read and reinterpreted by Siberian, Mongolian, and Tibetan scholars and Buddhist monks. Matthew W. King offers a groundbreaking account of the transnational literary, social, and political history of the circulation, translation, and interpretation of Faxian’s Record. He reads its many journeys at multiple levels, contrasting the textual and interpretative traditions of the European academy and the Inner Asian monastery. King shows how the text provided Inner Asian readers with new historical resources to make sense of their histories as well as their own times, in the process developing an Asian historiography independently of Western influence. Reconstructing this circulatory history and featuring annotated translations, In the Forest of the Blind models decolonizing methods and approaches for Buddhist studies and Asian humanities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Blind King's Wrath brings the tumultuous Burnt Empire Trilogy to a thrilling end. Krushni, the prophesied Dark Queen, has risen in the East, determined to have her vengeance on Jarsun, her father in her past life and murderer of her mother and grandfather. She is joined in her quest by the five children of Shvate, Karni and Mayla, now grown to young adulthood, and a host of other champions all burning with righteous rage against the God Emperor. As old foes emerge and new allies reveal themselves, the stage is set for the greatest clash of all. A great war. On one side are the valiant but hopelessly outnumbered forces of justice and righteous vengeance led by Krushni and the Shvate Five. Looming against them are the brutal, demonic forces of their enemies led by Jarsun and the tyrant king Dronas. In a shocking turn, Emperor Adri despatches the vast armies of the Burnt Empire, countless tens of millions of brutally efficient killing hordes, against the brave champions. On this bloodsoaked field, the fate of the Burnt Empire will be decided once and for all.

Book excerpt: A perilous encounter amidst the icy wilderness... In a daring quest, Isabella embarks on a treacherous journey, dispatched by her monarch to negotiate an alliance with a secluded enclave of ethereal fair folk dwelling in the frigid snow-covered expanse far north of her homeland. As the relentless blizzard threatens to claim her life, a radiant and enigmatic saviour emerges from the blinding whiteness. It is none other than the mythical and glorious snow dragon, Shalara, who, together with her heartmate, Aric, ventures beyond the protective borders of their realm to rescue the imperilled human lost in the snow. An even more harrowing mission awaits... Aric and Shalara bear the daunting responsibility of escorting Isabella back to her realm, delivering a crucial message for her king. Yet, their path is obstructed by a sinister and imperceptible adversary. They find themselves swept off course by a mystical tempest, navigating strange and unfamiliar territories, where they cross paths with other dragons and valiant warriors, who join forces to set them back on their mission. On their journey, they are guided by an intensely magical black dragon. Missions thwarted, missions fulfilled, and new quests unique to their fate... While Isabella yearns for a triumphant return to her king, her heart longs for more time with Aric, who has swiftly claimed a significant portion of her affection. Yet, the dashing fey warrior is too alluring for her peace of mind. Aric, too, finds himself irresistibly drawn to Isabella. However, he is acutely aware that any romantic entanglement between a mortal and a fae is fraught with insurmountable challenges. Against their better judgment, they succumb to love's enthralling grasp. However, destiny intervenes, compelling them to grapple with new challenges and embark on a mission to broker alliances with unexpected allies. As they navigate this treacherous path, their forbidden love deepens. Will their affection meet a tragic end, as they both dread or could unknown magic intercede to save their tender hearts?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a guide regarding the proper application of firearms, especially by those with any degree of visual impairment, with an emphasis on safe firearms usage when engaging in activities such as hunting, target shooting, and even selfaEUR"defense at home or on the street. In these pages, the author, Mr. McWilliams, utilizes his thirty years of certified gun training to teach others with visual impairments, as well as those seeking to train them, all the various methods that have allowed him to pass countless shooting exams to obtain a number of stateaEUR"issued concealed carry permits and hunting licenses. For this guide's creation, real guns from the author's personal firearms collection were used as props for certain technical sections, as well as old written text and recorded lectures obtained during his training through the National Rifle Association, law enforcement, and even the United States Army. Topics include how to identify, load, unload, and work with different types of firearms without the benefit of sight, how the military's techniques in closeaEUR"quarters combat governs defensive shooting by the blind, case studies and official government research debunking the myth that blind people pose a greater danger than the sighted regarding firearm usage, and how to find resources to obtain training certification. This book, however, is only intended as a prelude to official gun training by a licensed instructor, not as a standaEUR"alone manual for perspective blind gun users. It is the author's wish that such information included here bridges the gap between blind Americans and their constitutional right to bear arms.

Book excerpt: “The most densely annotated, richly illustrated, and user friendly edition” of the greatest classical work of history ever written (Daniel Mendelsohn, The New Yorker)—from the editor of the widely praised The Landmark Thucydides. Cicero called Herodotus "the father of history," and his only work, The Histories, is considered the first true piece of historical writing in Western literature. With lucid prose, Herodotus's account of the rise of the Persian Empire and its dramatic war with the Greek city sates set a standard for narrative nonfiction that continues to this day. Illustrated, annotated, and filled with maps—with an introduction by Rosalind Thomas, twenty-one appendices written by scholars at the top of their fields, and a new translation by Andrea L. Purvis—The Landmark Herodotus is a stunning edition.
