Henry James stands as one of the preeminent writers of the late
19th/early 20th century period; however, the world he wrote about
has since disappeared. This collection of essays provides
pedagogical assistance for several of his short stories-including
"The Jolly Corner", "The Europeans" and "Travelling Companions"-and
his most anthologized longer works. It is aimed at instructors who
do not consider themselves experts on James' work. Each essay
approaches a single work, offering a critical analysis as well as
providing pedagogical suggestions for how to introduce both the
work and the relevant social issues to students of the 21st
century.
In a world seemingly moving at hyperspeed, it can be daunting to
simply slow down -- or stop -- even briefly to try to make sense of

answers these and many more questions for anyone who wants to begin
-- or is struggling to maintain -- a meditation practice. Written
by a Western Buddhist nun with solid experience in both the
practice and teaching of meditation, "How to Meditate contains a
wealth of practical advice on a variety of authentic techniques,
from what to do with the mind, to how to sit, to visualizations and
other traditional practices. Best of all, McDonald's warm,
encouraging approach is as close to the intimacy of private
instruction as a book can be.
