Today there are as many Buddhist believers as Christians and Muslims combined. The fortunes of Buddhism are traced through time and space, from the founding of the world's largest monastic order in northeastern India 2,500 years ago to contemporary Europe and America, where many are attracted by this supremely civilized ethos of benevolence, honesty and self~control. The spread, decline and resurgence of Buddhism is central to whole epochs and cultures in the eastern half of the globe. The result of years of painstaking and imaginative research and preparation, this volume presents in a vivid and authoritative manner the whole of Buddhism's influence on Asiatic civilization. World~renowned scholars provide the eleven chapters, which are richly illustrated with examples drawn from the fabulous canon of Buddhist art. "The range is impressive; its historical depth. and geographical breadth. make it a useful reference for specialists and general readers alike." ~The Times Literary Supplement.

Not many people know that the busy and bustling capital city of Delhi and its surroundings have a long past going back thousands of years. Prehistoric stone tools have surfaced here and many ancient remains have been found sometimes accidentally by farmers tilling their fields and at other times by archaeologists carrying out systematic excavations. A mound one passes everyday or a narrow strip of stream tells a story of ancient times. Centuries of history coexist with metro stations and plush cars. The readings in this book give us glimpses of the lives of people who lived over the centuries in the Delhi area and how these details are pieced together by historians. It brings into focus the importance of the historian's method and the sources of information found in ancient texts archaeology and even legends and folklore sometimes hanging on the thread of a slender historical fact. This collection of essays has been put together by a teacher for students of history but will also be of enormous value to a large number of other interested readers. 228 pp.

India and China are two ancient civilizations of the world. They have been friendly neighbours for thousands of years and have made great contributions for the welfare of mankind. In a history extending several millennia a large number of eminent priests monks and scholars from both sides have gone across deserts and mountains to establish valuable cultural bridges. Faxian Xuanzang and Yijing are the pioneers of these cultural emissaries from China. In the modern times Tan Yun Shan has trodden on the footsteps of these historical figures in extending and promoting the traditional cultural ties and friendship between the two great nations of China and India. The symbolism of Xuanzang has been used to highlight the spiritual input derived by Tan Yun Shan from India and his dedication and self sacrifice in striving to synthesize spiritualism and materialism. Paying homage to this great scho.

Ageing is a global phenomenon in the sense that it is experienced by all the societies in all generators and all countries but its magnitude and manifestations are not the same everywhere. In the modern scientific age with improved health care improved nutrition and improved living standards people live much longer than expected and thereby there has been an increase in the growth of elderly population in all societies. As also elsewhere the population aged 60+ is increasing rapidly in our country that it is expected to be 177 million by 2025. This growth in the population of the elderly will certainly change the aspect of life for individual and societies. With the changing social values elderly persons are facing many problems socio familial emotional health financial etc. This book deals with a number of issues pertaining to the aged from a multi disciplinary approach emphasizing on the status welfare and problems of the elderly persons particularly in Nagaland and it will be a useful source of information and reference to academicians scholars and social workers and government agencies alike. 158 pp.
