This important text analyzes the moral theory of the seventh
century Indian Mahayana master, Santideva, author of the well-known
religious poem, the Bodhicaryavatara (Entering the Path of
Enlightenment) as well as the significant, but relatively
overlooked, Siksasamuccaya (Compendium of Teachings). With
particular focus on the Siksasamuccaya, this book uses original
translations and critical analysis in order to answer the question:
How would Santideva's ethics be understood in terms of Western
moral theory? Santideva's ethical presuppositions and moral
reasoning are illuminated by analyzing his key moral terms and
comparing them to other Buddhist principles. By focusing on a
neglected Buddhist Sanskrit text by a major Mahayana figure, Barbra
R. Clayton helps to redress a significant imbalance in the
scholarship on Buddhist ethics, which has - up to now - focused
primarily on the ethics of the Pali literature as interpreted in
the Theravada tradition.
This book analyses the moral theory of the seventh century Indian
Mahayana master, Santideva. Santideva is the author of the
well-known religious poem the Bodhicaryavatara (Entering the Path
of Enlightenment), as well as the significant, but relatively
overlooked, Siksasamuccaya (Compendium of Teachings) . Both of
these works describe the nature and path of the bodhisattva, the
altruistic spiritual ideal especially exalted in Mahayana
literature. With particular focus on the Siksasamuccaya, this work
offers a response to three questions: What is Santideva's moral
theory? How does it compare to other analyses of Buddhist ethics?
Can one moral theory adequately describe Buddhist moral thought? An
exegetical account of the bodhisattva path as outlined in the
Siksasamuccaya is provided by textual analysis and translations.
The central moral concept of this Buddhist thinker and Santideva's
ethical presuppositions and moral reasoning are brought to light by
analysing the use of key moral terms and comparing them to other
Buddhists' principles. It is also considered in relation to
dominant Western ethical theories. Barbra Clayton helps to redress
a significant imbalance in the scholarship on Buddhist ethics,
which has up to now focused primarily on the ethics of the Pali
literature and as interpreted in the Theravada tradition.
Here is helpful information about joint activities for prevention
researchers and practitioners. Prevention Practice in Substance
Abuse provides cutting-edge information related to prevention
research and practice. Too frequently, researchers and
practitioners do not communicate from a basic understanding of
concepts and principles. This book begins to fill that void by
providing information and recommendations for practitioners and
researchers to develop projects jointly so both groups become more
effective in their work.Chapters in Prevention Practice in
Substance Abuse are grouped into three areas: background chapters
contain information related to prevention in the United States,
data-based chapters present the most recent national and
international evaluation findings, and conceptual chapters
stimulate thought about drug abuse prevention. A concluding chapter
explores recommendations for joint activities and presents methods
for both practice and research to enhance knowledge development.
Specific topics addressed by the contributing authors include: mass
media campaigns morality and substance abuse Hungarian adolescent
drug abuse parenting practices social influences-oriented substance
abuse prevention curricula choosing a paradigm to guide research
and practicePrevention Practice in Substance Abuse is an ideal
guide for drug and alcohol practitioners and researchers who wish
to become more effective in their work using strategies for
cooperating with each other to combat the use and abuse of drugs
and alcohol.
The Second Edinburgh International Workshop was held in September,
1984 and took as its topic the coordinated regulation of gene
expression. The intention of this series of workshops is to promote
exchange of ideas and data between scientists and clinicians whose
interests span molecular and cell biology, development and
differentiation, oncology, and genetic and developmental
pathologies. It is hoped that such interdisciplinary discussions
may give rise to fruitful insights. The meetings are structured to
give ample time for discussion after each formal presentation and
culminate in a session of general discussion which is reported at
the end of the volume of proceedings. We are very grateful to the
participants, all of whom participated in the discussion and whose
contributions were essential to the success of the meeting. Novel
ideas were often put forward and explored thoroughly from different
angles. We normally expect to achieve quite rapid publication of
the proceedings of the meeting and are grateful to authors who
produced typescripts of their contributions expeditiously, but, as
may sometimes be the case with multi-author works, some
contributors had difficulty in meeting schedules for submitting
manuscripts or corrections of the text of the discussion, and in
one case we have been unable to publish any record of the
contribution. Our committment to the publication of the discussion,
allowing participants to make corrections to the transcript of the
session, such as insertion of references and clarification of oral
contributions, has also imposed some delay.
Called by ESPN Analyst Bill Curry and former collegiate head coach
as "a great, great football player who can walk on the field and
change the game. He's that good," there was a time in Michael
Clayton's life where the game of football was his main passion and
purpose in life. Then came a moment when Michael realized he needed
to chase something else besides perfection on the football field.
Each of us has ideals and after eight years in the league, Clayton
started to chase and strive for his: compassion, solemnity,
uprightness, charity. Clayton never gave up the chase for
perfection on the field; he just started working harder toward
perfection off of it. Chasing My Rookie Year is not a quest for
glory. It is a quest for life's purpose.

A wider understanding of potato postharvest practices is needed to
improve working relations between growers, agronomists,
pathologists and crop store managers. Providing a comprehensive
examination of international potato production, this book
identifies which storage systems suit particular climatic zones, as
well as considering interactions between crop microclimate,
dehydration, crop cooling, condensation and disease development.
"Potatoes Postharvest" will guide the reader through the activities
following harvest from store loading, store management, and grading
to packaging and dispatch.
