Religion:
What It Has
Been and What It Is
By Jay G. Williams
What It Has Been
Beginning with a review of the human needs that all religions
seek to fulfill, Dr. Williams traces the world’s religions as they evolved
through four cultural channels: China , India
and South
The various religious traditions are followed down all four
cultural streams to contemporary time—through their confrontations with the
Enlightenment, Nietszche (“God is dead!”), Freud, and perhaps most
profoundly with

Life
and Marriage in Skya rgya:
A Tibetan Village
By Blo brtan rdo rje with Charles Kevin Stuart
Life and Marriage in Skya rgya, a Tibetan
Village is an important achievement, delving deep into
contemporary Tibetan society, enabling us to explore the crucial negotiations
between tradition and modernity, both individually and collectively, that
confront present-day Tibetan villagers.
* * *
Skya rgya is a farming village in A mdo, the
Tibetan name by which the northwest of the Tibetan Plateau is known. While
Tibetans largely welcome the material benefits that have been brought to them by
the march of modernity, it is also inevitable that many of their older
traditions have come to be seen as outdated. By juxtaposing voices from earlier
periods with those that reflect contemporary experiences, [the author] has
provided us with a fascinating window onto the processes of change and
development, as they are being experienced by Tibetans in this area.
This book provides a rich resource for all those interested in the history and
culture of the region, . . . . [the author’s narratives give] us a direct and
vivid insight into the lives, experiences and expectations of members of his
home community. By letting four of his informants speak to us directly he allows
us to enter into the joys and pains, hopes and fears of these Tibetans, old and
young. We have a rare chance to observe how the dilemmas and celebrations that
characterized an early era have persisted or evolved as local society is
propelled into the modern world of twenty-first century China.

Blo brtan rdo rje’s honest rendering of the details of his family life and his
experiences conducting field
research make this a page-turning account of life in a rural Tibetan area that
is already vanishing.
When Blo brtan rdo rje was young, there was not even a bridge to cross the
Yellow River into Gcan tsha
County; coracle boats were the principle mode of transport across the river.
After bridges were built in
the late 1980s, life has been changing rapidly
This is not to suggest that no change had come to this Tibetan village before
this time, as the arrival of
the troops of the Muslim warlord, Ma Bufang, prior to the Communist period are
also documented
here. The forced conversion of neighboring (down-valley) Tibetans to Islam was a
crucial vehicle for
the later commercial changes introduced in the 1990s.

The
Jottings of David Daube
Edited By
Calum MacNeill Carmichael
David
Daube’s life spanned almost the entire 20th century and he was witness to its
history. Born a Jew in Germany in 1909, he spent World War II and
its aftermath in Britain on the faculties of Cambridge, Aberdeen, and Oxford. He
came to the United States in the ’60s—to the University of California at
Berkeley where he reveled in what he called the “unmanicured, unclubbable,
countercultural attitudes.” Through it all he never lost his love for the land
of his birth—though it didn’t love him back for many years: he was on
Hitler’s list of those to be put to death once Germany had conquered England.
One of the great legal minds of our time, Daube’s depth of scholarship in a range of subjects—ancient literature, English literature, ancient law, medical ethics, much more—was matched by a dazzling agility and originality of mind—for instance: though raised in an Orthodox Jewish home, he produced strikingly original work on the New Testament.
Not your typical fusty professor, he was a brilliant and charming commentator on matters personal, political, social, and philosophical. The reader of these jottings (set down in the 1970s and ’80s) will understand within a page or two why those who knew him treasured him as a friend, mentor, and intellectual provocateur. These private reflections, gathered by one of his most distinguished students, are charming, insightful, thought-provoking, sometimes profound, and sometimes just amusing. His commentaries on political and social issues of his time ranged from bravely original thought on Israel and the Palestinians to an amusing and enlightening review of the sensational porn film Deep Throat.
Here are some sample jottings:
“I love women. They provide the unhappiness that I need in life.”
“People are more struck by the asininity of the law when they are trapped by it than when they are let off.”
“We are all of us survivors all the time; everything that is, is a survivor relative to what has fallen by the wayside. Naturally, having escaped from Hitler’s clutches myself, I am a bit more alive to the whole business than the average guy.”

Sweet
Land of Security
By Michael T. Geary
Are
the post-9/11 measures initiated by the government and law enforcement agencies
the products of a totalitarian impulse, or panic?-or are they simply a prudent
response to a seriously perilous world? Are our liberties likely to be narrowed
down forever?-or will we restore them when the crisis is over? (How will we know
when it's over?)
One way to begin thinking carefully about that is to consider how Americans have responded in the past. Our struggle to reconcile the conflicting claims of liberty and security is not an easy one-but it turns out to have a history. It is, in fact, one of the threads the historical fabric of our nation is woven from.
Here a lawyer and professor does what a lawyer does: he examines the precedents, from the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1799 through the Civil War, the forced relocation of Japanese Americans in World War II, the Red Scares of the 20th Century to our present "war on terror."
This work shows the balance of liberty and security from the Alien and Sedition Acts in the Adams administration through the creation of military commissions in the Mexican War, Lincoln's suspension of habeas corpus in the Civil War, the internment of Japanese Americans in World War II, the Red Scares of the twentieth century, to the "War on Terror."

Professor Geary received his B.S. in Criminal Justice in 1983, his M.S. 1995,

Talking
Acadian:
Communication, Work and Culture
By John Chetro-Szivos
TALKING ACADIAN: Communication, Work and Culture provides a look into the
lives of the French-speaking American Acadians, and particularly those who left eastern
Canada to settle in Massachusetts in the 1960s. This book captures their stories
about family life and their values, morés and morals. It also traces the ways that
they use communication to develop and maintain their culture.
What the reader learns is that to talk about Acadians you must talk about work. This group gives us new insights into the world of work -- a central feature of living for the Acadians and crucial to their self-definition.
There are few sources about this culture and their experiences in the United States. This book makes contributions to communication studies, more specifically the Coordinated Management Meaning by analyzing the situated interactions of this community, demonstrating the capacity of communication to transmit the rules and grammar of a culture, and highlighting Cronen's consequentiality of communication.
John Chetro-Szivos is a communication scholar and chair of the Department of Communication at Fitchburg State College in Massachusetts. He received bachelor's and master's degrees from Assumption College, a master's from Anna Maria College, and his doctorate in communication from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. He has published several works in the field of communication, specifically on the Coordinated Management of Meaning theory and American pragmatism. He is the Chair of the Department of Communication.

Acculturation
in the Navajo Eden:
New Mexico, 1550-1750
By Seymour H. Koenig and Harriet Koenig
Based on years
of field work and scholarly research, these independent students of the native American
cultures of the southwest have produced both a lively report on contemporary religious and
cultural practices, and a readable and engaging study of the history of both the Navajo
and the neighboring, even more ancient Puebloans. Forming theories of poorly
documented precontact cultural practices based on the forms that evolved during and after
Spanish exploration, and that survive today, the Koenigs' "innovative and imaginative
study" have developed "ideas that should stimulate much thought and new
research," according to David Brugge. 136 illustrations, accompanied by
extensive notes. Bibliography. Index.

Taoist Healing Gestures
By Emma I. Gonikman
Taoist Healing Gestures is a blend of simple practices with explanations
of more complex nontraditional healing methods. The Mudras (patterns of finger placement)
illustrated in this book require no knowledge at all of alternative medicine while
fostering immediate self-healing. Using the experience of ancient Tao and the masters of
Qi Gong, there is special focus on Chinese medical traditions throughout the book.

was educated at the Medical School at Leningrad, Russia and is now President and
Scientific Director of the Center for Natural Medicine, Santana, in Minsk. She is the
