Sally Mcara
Land of Beautiful Vision: Making a Buddhist Sacred Place in New Zealand

2007 y.
Publisher: University of Hawaii Press
Description: `Land of Beautiful Vision` is the first book-length ethnography to address the role of material culture in contemporary adaptations of Buddhism and the first to focus on convert Buddhists in New Zealand. Sally McAra takes as her subject a fascinating instance of an ongoing creative process whereby a global religion is made locally meaningful through the construction of a Buddhist sacred place. She uses an in-depth case study of a small religious structure, a stupa, in rural New Zealand to explore larger issues related to the contemporary surge in interest in Buddhism and religious globalization. Her research extends beyond the level of public discourse on Buddhism to investigate narratives of members of the Friends of the Western Buddhist Order (FWBO) about their relationship with the land, analyzing these and the FWBO`s transformative project through a thematic focus on key symbolic landmarks at their site, Sudarshanaloka. In considering cross-cultural interactions resulting… [detailed...]

Land of Exile: Contemporary Korean Fiction

2007 y.
Publisher: M.E. Sharpe
Description: Since its original publication in 1993, this powerful collection has become the standard English language anthology of post 1945 Korean short fiction, a vivid gateway to the history, society, and culture of contemporary South Korea, reflecting the poignant motif of exile in Korea`s experience of modernity. This new edition has been expanded to include four new stories - `Scarlet Fingernails` (1987) by Kim Minsuk, `The Last Hanak`o` (1992) by Ch`oe Yun, one of Korea`s most important living writers, `Conviction`(2003) by Ch`oe Such`ol, and `From Powder to Powder` (2004) by Kim Hung - adding two important women`s voices and extending the anthology`s range into the new millennium. None of the stories in this expanded edition remains in print in any other volume, and `Conviction` and `From Powder to Powder` appear here in English for the first time. [detailed...]

Chitrita Banerji
Land of Milk and Honey: Travels in the History of Indian Food

2007 y.
Publisher: Seagull Books
Description: A culture as ancient as India`s, as layered and as plural, inevitably rejoices in a fascinatingly rich history of food, feeding and eating. The most ancient scriptures prescribe and proscribe on the subject, life cycle rituals are intricately bound up with it, and the symbolism of food is part of everyday life. Land of Milk and Honey tells the stories of India`s food. Rich in detail and discovery, the essays included here range from the rituals of propitiatory meals - from feeding the gods, the priest, the son-in-law or the dead - to the historic symbolism of milk, and from the probable fifteenth century Portuguese origins of the traditional sweets of Bengal to the intricate variety of art connected with food and ritual.

Land of Silver Rain, Vol. 2 (Land of Silver Rain)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Misty-Rain is deported to the world of her birth, and Sirius, the rich Prince of the Land of the Unicorns, tries to go to the world of humans to find her. Concerned for her charge, Nanny hatches a plot that causes the young prince to lose all of his memories of Misty-Rain. With only a fox-witch as companion in this strange new world, Misty-Rain gets into a car accident, and almost dies. Fortunately, she is given new life by the power of the `Tae-guek` spirit bestowed by the Great King of Darkness. Two years pass and Misty-Rain, a normal eighth-grader at Yulha Middle School, is now living with a human family. She has been placed under the charge of two brothers, one of whom is a handsome but obnoxious athlete, whose wicked personality has left him with no friends. As she lives out her new life, Misty Rain seems to have all but forgotten the magical land where she was raised. Prince Sirius, however, is gradually snapping out of Nanny`s spell and is slowly remembering? [detailed...]

Robert Corfe
Land of The Olympians

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This is a penetrating study of many aspects of life, thought, and everyday existence in Scandinavia, as experienced through the author`s 9-year residence in the enlightened far north in the 1960s. Robert Corfe is primarily known as a thought-provoking writer of books published in the 21st century, but this work comprises a selection of his articles published in the Finnish press, popular magazines, and learned journals in the 1960s. The collected articles are put into context for a contemporary readership by a lively introductory chapter entitled, Seeing The Future Through The Past, which describes how Scandinavia was 50 years in advance of Britain in terms of political thinking and social development. And now Britain has caught up and shares in the benefits and also the dis-benefits of a modernised technological society. Of considerable interest are the articles on British society and its problems, as viewed through the eyes of a British resident acclimatised to the cultural… [detailed...]

Bud Shrake
Land of the Permanent Wave: An Edwin `Bud` Shrake Reader (Southwestern Writers Collection Series)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Edwin `Bud` Shrake is one of the most intriguing literary talents to emerge from Texas. He has written vividly in fiction and nonfiction about everything from the early days of the Texas Republic to the making of the atomic bomb. His real gift has been to capture the Texas Zeitgeist. Legendary Harper`s Magazine editor Willie Morris called Shrake`s essay `Land of the Permanent Wave` one of the two best pieces Morris ever published during his tenure at the magazine. High praise, indeed, when one considers that Norman Mailer and Seymour Hersh were just two of the luminaries featured at Harper`s during Morris`s reign. This anthology is the first to present and explore Shrake`s writing completely, including his journalism, fiction, and film work, both published and previously unpublished. The collection makes innovative use of his personal papers and letters to explore the connections between his journalism and his novels, between his life and his art. An exceptional behind-the-scenes… [detailed...]

Land, Custom and Practice in the South Pacific (Cambridge Asia-Pacific Studies)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Land tenure arrangements are fundamental to the way societies and economies operate. This book argues that in the South Pacific Islands, land formerly held by community groups under `customary` or `traditional` forms of tenure is now often being privatized. There is a divergence between rhetoric and reality concerning these trends. The authors present case studies from Western Samoa, Tonga, Vanuatu and Fiji, and note parallels from other regions experiencing comparable forces of commercialization, individualization and socio-political change.

Land, Protest, and Politics: The Landless Movement and the Struggle for Agrarian Reform in Brazil

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: “Gabriel Ondetti has written an important book. For those interested in Brazil’s landless movement, this new and persuasive explanation of the rise of the movement combines a focus on the political opportunity structure with subjective and cultural factors left out of much mainstream analysis. For those wanting to learn about BrazilA?s agrarian reform, Ondetti provides evidence that the reform was a significant political achievement. His argument about how the landless movement avoided the Olsonian collective action problem will interest anyone curious about social science. Ondetti’s book combines, in a rare fashion, in-depth research at the grassroots level, a rigorous theoretical argument, substantial use of macro-level data, and a comparative Latin American focus. It is the best work on this topic currently available.” a??Anthony Pereira, School of Development Studies, University of East Anglia A¬The Brazilian landless workers` movement has become an iconic social movement of the… [detailed...]

Landing a Job for Canadians for Dummies

Publisher: —
Description: It`s hard to think of a subject area with a higher need-to-know quotient than landing a job (as distinguished from managing your job/career once you`ve got it). Job hunting isn`t something people go about at a leisurely pace. There is often considerable time and financial pressure involved. And, it`s a skill that`s difficult to master.
