On the basis of extensive fieldwork, Edwards provides detailed descriptions of individual structures tracking brickworking styles and other significant craft practices. The catalogue of monuments is contextualized with a brief historical narrative and art historical commentary. What distinguishes this study is its tight focus on material evidence and local ethos presented against the grain of previous scholarship. Thus, whereas traditional analysis explains Pakistanas tiled and turreted tombs from the top down, citing dynastic patronage and stylistic influences from elsewhere, this book argues from the ground up emphasizing politically atomized environments, vernacular building methods, pertinent oral traditions, and indigenous modes of spirituality. By this means, the unique character of this architectural tradition is underscored. Moreover, the conceptual framework formulated here is incisive yet flexible, intended to accommodate and advance the study of sites that still await discovery or sustained scholarly attention.

Is everything really better in Japan? Cristian Martini Grimaldi, freelance journalist who has been living in Japan for almost a decade, decides to explore if this is really the case. This book is the English version of his Bestseller “In Giappone lo fanno meglio?” (with many extra chapters added) . The idea for this work started from a simple observation. Japan is more idealized than actually experienced. As a young American student disappointed by his life in the Rising Sun once confessed to the author: “For years I have looked at Japan from afar and I thought it was the perfect country. On the internet everything looked great. Only by living there I discovered that reality and what's on YouTube are two very different things". The author will go sneaking into unexplored social and cultural niches to demonstrate how little known - but very misunderstood - this country still is (including living for ten days in a Shinto shrine; he will interview an elderly German professor who teaches the Japanese "how to die"; will participate in the first "moral" class in middle school; will - by pure chance - find himself on the scene of a terrible suicide/murder case; with a crew of professional cleaners he will get inside the home of a kodokushi, someone who died alone and his corpse was only found many days later; he will interview a woman who had experience in the adult industry and will reveal how very young beautiful women get tricked into acting in porn movies; he will also investigate why the mixed Japanese baths are quickly disappearing). Dozens of stories, accompanied by over 100 original photos (many 'stolen' via smartphone), which will forever change the way we look at this unique country.

Biblical Myth And Rabbinic Mythmaking written by Michael A. Fishbane and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2005 with Literary Criticism categories.
This is a comprehensive study of myth in the Hebrew Bible and myth and mythmaking in classical rabbinic literature (Midrash and Talmud) and in the classical work of medieval Jewish mysticism (the book of Zohar). Michael Fishbane provides a close study of the texts and theologies involved and the central role of exegesis in the development and transformation of the subject. Taken up are issues of myth and monotheism, myth and tradition, and myth and language. The presence and vitality of myth in successive cultural phases is treated, emphasizing certain paradigmatic acts of God and features of the divine personality.
