These were the last words penned by the hand now folded for ever on earth. Tuesday, the 8th of February came. She was still environed by the same multitude of prayers as before. She was, we may believe, led by the same hand that had hitherto guided her as she entered the water on that fatal evening. It was God's way of taking her. Otherwise the heroic efforts of Dr. Cheek, and her beloved Kum Tip, both of whom did all but sacrifice their own lives for her, would have availed for her rescue from death. These poor Laos would not have stood paralyzed by their superstitions, and seen her perish for want of the help they could so easily have given, if God had not chosen that way to burn into the heart of the Christian at home the awful bondage of heathenism. On this point we copy from the Bangkok Slant Weekly Advertiser, of February 26th, 1881: "Why was the beloved consort of His Majesty, the late Princess Sunanda Humariratu, so ruthlessly torn from the loving heart of the King of Siam, and quietly permitted to suffocate in this same river, together with the darling daughter of a royal sire, in the immediate presence of a multitude? Was it for lack of knowledge of the art of swimming, or lack of physical ability? Nay, nay! The mental and the physical development were sufficient; but the spiritual was dwarfed. Why was it that thirty-five persons refused assistance, which perhaps every one was able to render, while Dr. Cheek, the medical missionary of Chieng Mai, struggled single-handed, and in a half-dying condition, to bring Miss Campbell to shore? Was it because they had never been in the water, and were unable to swim? "Why is it that the conduct of the young woman, Kum Tip, stands out in such...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The untold story of how America’s secret war in Laos in the 1960s transformed the CIA from a loose collection of spies into a military operation and a key player in American foreign policy. January, 1961: Laos, a tiny nation few Americans have heard of, is at risk of falling to communism and triggering a domino effect throughout Southeast Asia. This is what President Eisenhower believed when he approved the CIA’s Operation Momentum, creating an army of ethnic Hmong to fight communist forces there. Largely hidden from the American public—and most of Congress—Momentum became the largest CIA paramilitary operation in the history of the United States. The brutal war lasted more than a decade, left the ground littered with thousands of unexploded bombs, and changed the nature of the CIA forever. With “revelatory reporting” and “lucid prose” (The Economist), Kurlantzick provides the definitive account of the Laos war, focusing on the four key people who led the operation: the CIA operative whose idea it was, the Hmong general who led the proxy army in the field, the paramilitary specialist who trained the Hmong forces, and the State Department careerist who took control over the war as it grew. Using recently declassified records and extensive interviews, Kurlantzick shows for the first time how the CIA’s clandestine adventures in one small, Southeast Asian country became the template for how the United States has conducted war ever since—all the way to today’s war on terrorism.

Download or read book History, Memory, and Territorial Cults in the Highlands of Laos written by Pierre Petit and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book captures the dynamics of history, memory, and territorial cults in Houay Yong, a Tai Vat village situated in the multiethnic highland frontier between Laos and Vietnam. By taking seriously the experiences of the villagers, it partakes in a broader movement to reintegrate highlanders and their agency into history at large. Based on comprehensive fieldwork research and the examination of colonial archives, this book makes accessible, for an English-speaking audience, untapped French archives on Laos and early publications on territorial cults written by French ethnologists. In so doing, it provides a balanced perspective, drawing from the fields of memory studies and classical historical research. Following a chronological approach stretching from the nineteenth century to the present, it extends narrative analysis through a comparative ethnography of territorial cults, a key component of the performative and material presentification of the past. Highly interdisciplinary in nature, History, Memory and Territorial Cults in the Highlands of Laos will be useful to students and scholars of anthropology, history, and religious studies, as well as Asian culture and society.

Download or read book Lao-Tzu: Te-Tao Ching written by Robert G.Henricks and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2010-11-24 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lao-tzu’s Te-Tao Ching has been treasured for thousands of years for its poetic statement of life’s most profound and elusive truths. Although the Te-Tao Ching is widely read, the author’s enigmatic style and the less than perfect condition of the Chinese originals make many of its brief poems difficult to understand. So readers of find literature hailed the discovery, in 1973, of two copies of the Te-Tao Ching which had been buried in 168 B.C. These manuscripts are more than five centuries older than any others known, and they correct many defects of later versions: their grammar and vocabulary frequently make the classic easier to understand; lost lines are restored (as many as three in some poems); some sections follow a more logical sequence. Such differences make it necessary to reevaluate traditional interpretations of the Te-Tao Ching, and Professor Henricks has done this in an extensive commentary to his excellent new translation. In addition, Professor Henricks has provided an introduction that explains the basics of Taoism and discusses the many other important finds from Ma-want-tui.

Download or read book Recent Views on Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy written by E. van der Wall and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Groningen there has been a continuous investigation of hypertrophic cardio myopathy for almost twenty years. Members of this working-group have tried to study the many aspects of this intriguing disease, and it is in this volume that they present their recent results and current concepts (chapters 2, 3, 5 and 6). A contribution from the Dutch interuniversity Institute of Cardiology presenting a detailed account of evaluation by means of radionuclide techniques completes the non-invasive picture of cardiomyopathies (chapter 4). On July 6th, 1984, a symposium entitled 'Recent views on hypertrophic cardio myopathy' was held at the University Hospital Groningen. The main reason to organize this meeting was the retirement of one of our working-group members, namely E. van der Wall, as head of the cardiological department. The speakers at the symposium presented their lectures based on their contributions to this book. It is an honour for us to have obtained their full cooperation for this book and for the symposium. We are very grateful that this Groningen manifestation could include the outstanding contributions of several well-known experts from abroad. We there fore thank our colleagues Profs. Epstein, Goodwin, Kaltenbach and Schulte for their spontaneous and valuable cooperation (chapters 1, 7,8 and 9). Thanks to their efforts especially, this book has acquired the international character that the study of this subject deserves.

Download or read book A History of Laos written by Martin Stuart-Fox and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1997-09-28 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This authoritative and wide-ranging 1997 history traces events in this little-known country from ancient monarchy, through its establishment as a French colony, to independence in 1953, the People's Democratic Republic, and the present one-party authoritarianism. The book highlights Laos' complex and shifting political alliances. The struggle for independence from France was followed by a struggle for unity and neutrality in the face of persistent foreign intervention, as the country was drawn into the war in Vietnam. Only with the end of the Cold War and the withdrawal of Vietnamese troops has Laos been able to reassert its neutral foreign policy and develop a market economy. This book is an impressive political, social, cultural and economic history. It will be essential for anyone wanting to understand Laos as it joins ASEAN, faces great economic challenges and struggles to maintain its cultural identity.
