The short lyric poem appears with great frequency in Sanskrit
collections and displays a wide range of themes. Bhartri-hari is
the most famous composer. Amaru and Bilhana also offer excellent
examples.
This anthology of the Love Lyrics of three Indian poets conjures
up an atmosphere of love both sensual and social, ever in tension
with love's rejection or repression. The flavor of all these poems-
Amaru's seventh-century C.E. "Hundred Poems," Bhartri-hari's
anthology "Love, Politics, Disenchantment," from the fourth
century, and Bilhana's eleventh-century "Fifty Stanzas of a
Thief"--is the universalized aesthetic experience of love.

In 1922, a coal miner strike spread across the United States,
swallowing the heavily-unionized mining town of Herrin, Illinois.
When the owner of the town's local mine hired non-union workers to
break the strike, violent conflict broke out between the
strikebreakers and unionized miners, who were all heavily armed.
When strikebreakers surrendered and were promised safe passage
home, the unionized miners began executing them before large,
cheering crowds. This book tells the cruel truth behind the story
that the coal industry tried to suppress and that Herrin wants to
forget. A thorough account of the massacre and its aftermath, this
book sets a heartland tragedy against the rise and decline of the
coal industry.
The book presents the never before published story of the 1873-74
whaling voyage of the F.H. Moore through the eyes of crew member
Sam Williams. The book also includes some lost notes of another
whaling voyage Williams took to the Azores. There are also excerpts
of three first person accounts of whaling published in the 1800's.
Together the four parts open the world of whaling to readers in a
realistic and unromantic way which illuminate the current worldwide
debate on whaling.
Early Buddhism flourished because it was able to take up the
challenge represented by buoyant economic conditions and the need
for cultural uniformity in the newly emergent states in
north-eastern India from the fifth century BCE onwards. This book
begins with the apparent inconsistency of Buddhism, a renunciant
movement, surviving within a strong urban environment, and draws
out the implications of this. In spite of the Buddhist ascetic
imperative, the Buddha and other celebrated monks moved easily
through various levels of society and fitted into the urban
landscape they inhabited. The Sociology of Early Buddhism tells how
and why the early monks were able to exploit the social and
political conditions of mid-first millennium north-eastern India in
such a way as to ensure the growth of Buddhism into a major world
religion. Its readership lies both within Buddhist studies and more
widely among historians, sociologists and anthropologists of
religion.
This volume analyzes the remarkable ability of Buddhism to survive within a strong urban environment despite its renunciant nature. Early Buddhism flourished because it was able to take up the challenge represented by buoyant economic conditions and the need for cultural uniformity in the newly emergent states in northeastern India from the fifth century BCE onwards. In spite of the Buddhist ascetic imperative, the Buddha and other celebrated monks moved easily through various levels of society and fitted into the urban landscape they inhabited. The book offers reasons for this apparent inconsistency.
