in America who want to preserve their traditions and pass them on
to their children in a new and foreign land, and one of American

approaches to Hinduism in America, the question of orientalism, and
"the invention of Hinduism." The book discusses: * the history of
Hinduism and its journey to America * how concepts like karma,
rebirth, meditation and yoga have infiltrated and influenced the
American consciousness * Hindu temples in North America * the
influence of Hinduism on vegetarianism and religious pluralism *

active American Hinduism. Hinduism in America contains 30 images,
chapter summaries, a glossary, study questions, and suggestions for
further reading.
God created a world. We built the story. Enter a world full of
miracles - all created in Minecraft. Nine stories from the life of
Jesus are brought together in this small graphic-novel style volume
in the phenomenally popular Minecrafter Bible series. Since 2009,
Minecraft has taken the gaming world by storm, and is now a massive
hit with children. The Minecrafter Bible books add a new dimension
to Bible story reading. Garrett Romines, and Christopher Miko;
skilled in using games and toys to create fun learning environments
and products for children, have re-created Bible stories with the
famous virtual blocks to produce vibrant, and complex 3-D worlds
filled with adventure and using astonishing imagination. The images
have been captured and combined with text boxes and speech bubbles
to explain the stories for 7-11 year olds. The text is light, but
explains the events thoroughly for the age group, and the dialogue
includes in-game humour.
