Paperback. Condizione: New. This book introduces contemporary Buddhists from across Asia and from various walks of life. Eschewing traditional hagiographies, the editors have collected sixty-six profiles of individuals who would be excluded from most Buddhist histories and ethnographies. In addition to monks and nuns, readers will encounter artists, psychologists, social workers, part-time priests, healers, and librarians as well as charlatans, hucksters, profiteers, and rabble-rousers-all whose lives reflect changes in modern Buddhism even as they themselves shape the course of these changes. The editors and contributors are fundamentally concerned with how individual Buddhists make meaning and display this understanding to others. Some practitioners profiled look to the past, lamenting the transformations Buddhism has undergone in recent times, while others embrace these. Some have adopted a "new asceticism," while others are eager to explore different religious traditions as they think about their own ways of being Buddhist. Arranging the profiles according to these themes-looking backward, forward, inward, and outward-reveals the value of studying individual Buddhists and their idiosyncratic religious backgrounds and attitudes, thus highlighting the diversity of approaches to the practice and study of Buddhism in Asia today. Students and teachers will welcome sections on further readings and additional tables of contents that organize the profiles thematically, as well as by tradition (Theravada, Mahayana, Vajrayana), region, and country.…

Shelf wear and a couple of small tears to edge of D/J. Slightly sunned spine to D/J. In 1891 Mary Smith Costelloe - born in Philadelphia of wealthy Quaker parents and married to a London barrister - left her Catholic husband and two small daughters for love of Bernard Berenson and the Italian Renaissance art of which he was to become the foremost expert of his time. Mary loved Bernard, learned from him, quarreled with him, and persuaded him to write. Nine years later, when her first husband died, she married him. This book tells the story of her life, revealing her complex personality through excerpts selected from her letters and diaries. Mary Berenson was a talented letter writer, frank, witty and possessed of a fine sense of detail. Writing literally thousands of letters and keeping a diary, she described this rich life and and herself. What emerges is the portrait of a fascinating age and an amazing woman, modern, independent, intelligent, irascible, and, in her fashion, faithful to B.B. 319 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).…

First edition, second impression of this monumental achievement in lexicography, conceived and compiled by the English Language Department of the University of Glasgow, based on the Oxford English Dictionary, and 44 years in the making. The Historical Thesaurus made it possible for the first time to trace the evolution of not just a word (as in the OED) but of a meaning or concept. A ''firework display'' whose ''mere existence is a blessing'' (Islon 243, 260), the Historical Thesaurus ''presents meanings in chronological order, noting when terms first appeared, often when they disappeared, or whether they were one-shots, lovely doomed coinages such as "moonling". This makes it an unprecedented resource for, say, the historical novelist who wants to avoid anachronistic dialogue (a Jacobean calling someone a "half-wit"); but it also has more general and rich application, as the reader can trace the evolution of concepts and attitudes over centuries''; while with the OED ''one wanders through the language on foot; with the HTOED it is as though one is in a hot-air balloon taking aerial photographs: one instantly spies topographical features and interrelationships that were not previously perceptible'' (Poole). ''To probe the Historical Thesaurus is therefore often to engage in wide-ranging detail with the changing patterns of thought, of intellectual history, of social and cultural conceptualization, or of material culture'' (Mugglestone 140).

Hardcover. Condizione: As New. 1st Edition. NEW & UNREAD. 45 YEARS IN THE MAKING. This is now VERY RARE INDEED. The Historical Thesaurus of the Oxford English Dictionary (HTOED) is a unique new resource charting the semantic development of the huge and varied vocabulary of English. It is the first comprehensive historical thesaurus ever produced for any language, containing almost every word in English from Old English to the present day, and is a magnificent resource for the historical study of the language. It is based on a detailed analysis of English as found in the second edition of the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) and also draws on A Thesaurus of Old English. Conceived and compiled by the English Language Department of the University of Glasgow over a period of some 45 years, the Historical Thesaurus of the Oxford English Dictionary is a groundbreaking analysis of meaning in the history of English. Content and Structure The thesaurus organization follows a unique thematic system of classification, with entries arranged in a comprehensive semantic hierarchy according to their meanings. Each individual synonym is presented in chronological order according to the first recorded date of the word's use in English as listed in the Oxford English Dictionary, with earliest synonyms given first. There are three major sections in the HTOED, reflecting the main activities and preoccupations of users of the language: I The external world II The mental world III The social world These in turn are divided into 354 major categories, such as Food and drink, Thought, or War. Further categories and subcategories follow, moving from the most general ideas to the most specific. Overall, the HTOED contains around 800,000 meanings, organized into more than 236,000 categories and subcategories. The semantic categories and subcategories are headed by phrases which define them and link to preceding sections. In the abridged example given here, the headings and numbering show that Terms of endearment, at the fourth level of the semantic hierarchy, are part of Love, which is classified within the higher category of Emotion, which in turn comes under The mind. 02 The mind . 02.02 Emotion . 02.02.22 Love . 02.02.22.04 Terms of endearment . The HTOED contains obsolete, historical, and archaic vocabulary, as well as the vocabulary of current English; it covers scientific, technical, and specialist terminology as well as slang, dialect, and informal language, and regional varieties of English from all parts of the world. Each term is precisely entered into its place in this comprehensive hierarchy of meaning, according to its meaning and date, and is accessible either by browsing at any level of the hierarchy, or by looking up a particular word in its alphabetical place via the Index. The Index itself lists nearly one million references and ensures a comprehensive lookup and accessibility of the full text. The final printed work is presented in two volumes: Volume 1 is the Thesaurus, while Volume 2 is the alphabetical Index listing the synonyms in Volume 1. Readers may thus approach the content of the Thesaurus in different ways: either by looking up a single lexical item in the Index and being directed to the appropriate section in the main Thesaurus, or by browsing by semantic category directly, and seeing words in their context of both historical development and the overall organization of meaning. There is an Introductory essay by the Editors and a Foreword written by Lord Randolph Quirk, together with a specially commissioned fold-out chart showing the principal levels of the semantic classification. Readership The HTOED is a unique resource for scholars of all types - linguists and language specialists, historians, literary commentators, etc. - as well as being a fascinating resource for everyone with an interest in the English language and its historical development. It is the ideal complement to the OED itself, allowing the OED to be accessed and its contents viewed in wholly new way.…
