Carol Salomon dedicated over thirty years of her life to researching, translating, and annotating this compilation of songs by the Bengali poet and mystical philosopher Lalan Sai (popularly transliterated as Lalon) who lived in the village of Cheuriya in Bengal in the latter half of the nineteenth century. One major objective of his lyrical riddles was to challenge the restrictions of cultural, political, and sexual identity, and his songs accordingly express a longing to understand humanity, its duties, and its ultimate destiny. His songs also contain thinly veiled references to esoteric yogic practices (sadhana), including body-centered Hathayogic techniques that are related to those found in Buddhist, Kaula, Natha, and Sufi medieval tantric literature. Dr. Salomon's translation of the work is the first dedicated English translation of Lalan's songs to closely follow the Bangla text, with all of its dialectical variations, and is here produced alongside the original text. Although her untimely death left her work unpublished, the editors have worked diligently to reconstruct her translations from her surviving printed and handwritten manuscripts. The result is a finished product that can finally share her groundbreaking scholarship on Baul traditions with the world.

Salomon surveys all the inscriptional material - documents written in ink on various surfaces, or carved into stone and metal, as well as seals - in the Indo-Aryan languages. He presents the entire corpus of these inscriptions in a way accessible to specialists in the field as well as non-specialists.

Richard Salomon geht mittels einer empirischen Untersuchung der Frage nach: Welche strategischen Voraussetzungen fuhren zu Erfolg in strategischen Allianzen? . Hierbei entwirft er ein Modell, das eine Vielzahl von Strategien, die zur Bildung einer strategischen Allianz relevant sind, prinzipiell ordnet und in eine dreischichtige Struktur uberfuhrt. Aus dem Schema dieses Modells leitet er funf Hypothesen ab, welche zum einen die Schlussigkeit des Modells und zum anderen die Erfolgswahrscheinlichkeiten resp.Voraussetzungen fur das Gelingen strategischer Allianzen zeigen sollen. Damit kann uber statistische Testverfahren wie c -Unabhangigkeitstest, t-Test, lineare Mehrfachregression und ANOVA letztendlich untermauert werden, dass die dreischichtige Struktur eine stimmige inharente Logik aufweist und fur die praktische Anwendung in potenziellen strategischen Allianzen geeignet ist."
