Paul E. Hoffman’s pathbreaking book focuses on a neglected area of colonial history—southeastern North America during the sixteenth-century. Hoffman describes expeditions to the region, efforts at colonization, and rivalries between the French, Spanish, and English. He reveals the ways in which the explorers’ expectations—fueled by legends—crumbled in the face of difficulties encountered along the southeastern coast. The first book to link the earliest voyages with the explorations of the sixteenth century and the settlement of later colonies, Hoffman’s work is an important reassessment of southern colonial history.

399 pages : illustrations (chiefly colour) ; 30 cm. English edition. This book, available in Italian and English, is the result of ten years of research and collaboration between the Vatican Museums and the local communities of the Pacific area, carried on according to the philosophy of reconnection of the objects with the places they come from. The text, showing a remarkable photographic apparatus of more than 300 images, begins with a section analysing the history of the collections and their development over the centuries. Following, the catalogue of every object, divided in six different geographic areas: Micronesia, Polynesia, Melanesia, New Guinea, Island Southeast Asia, and Australia. What emerges is a wide and interesting variety of artifacts, created by the cultures living in these areas. These are the very same artifacts, which the Pope s Museums host and preserve, in order to pass them down, intact, for the future generations.

"This essential work from Judith Becker breaks important new ground in the quest by English-speaking scholars to understand the deeper levels of Central Javanese meaning regarding music and musical exegesis. She approaches her work on gamelan and court dance by examining texts and interviews of a number of older (and since deceased) Central Javanese scholar/musicians. 'While these stories focus on the events of music and dance, those activities also become metaphors for the strongly felt , extra mundane connections between human and cosmos, between the individual and a greater, more enduring, more powerful realm with which he or she is both linked and separated' (p. 1). Becker carefully outlines her claim with strong supporting evidence, building a history of medieval Javanese thought that lays the groundwork for the ways in which Javanese musicians interpret their art today. She also notes some of the ways in which Western scholars have misunderstood Javanese musicians and the literature about Javanese music and dance, and how they have inaccurately analyzed certain characteristics of modern practice." -- The Journal of Asian Studies

Published by Methuen Drama, the collected dramatic works of Bertolt Brecht are presented in the most comprehensive and authoritative editions of Brecht's plays in the English language.The seventh volume of Brecht's Collected Plays contains the plays which Brecht wrote during his six-year stay in the United States from 1942 to 1948. The Visions of Simone Machard is a French resistance version of the Joan of Arc story. Schweyk in the Second World War transposes Hasek's 'good soldier' to the Prague of Hitler and Heydrich. The Caucasian Chalk Circle, based on the biblical story of the judgement of Solomon, was originally written for production on Broadway, with W. H. Auden responsible for the verse. A morality masterpiece, the play powerfully demonstrates Brecht's pioneering theatrical techniques and has since become one of his most popular works.The translations are ideal for both study and performance. The volume is accompanied by a full introduction and notes by the series editor John Willett and includes Brecht's own notes and relevant texts as well as all the important textual variants.

The civilizations of Central, South, Southeast and East Asia have been influenced by Buddhism for more than two millennia. Each region had a unique method for creating statues of the Buddha, the Bodhisattvas, and many saints and protector deities. The iconic image of the Buddha and his teachings as an impenetrable edifice is particularly significant. These buildings, known as Stupa in Sanskrit and Chörten in Tibetan, not only define the Newars' urban environment in the Kathmandu Valley. Additionally, they stud topographically significant locations, line the trails across high passes, and mark the entrance to Tibetan communities in northern Nepal. By the hundreds, they change the wild into a setting that offers safety, security, and well-being. Produced between 1970 and 2008, 584 maps, architectural drawings, and pictures depict the rich cultural history of the Tibetan and Tamang enclaves along the upper Himalayan range.

This translation by Tom Simone provides a text that is close to Dante’s meter and style as is possible using modern English. In such a way a student gets a feel for the structure and impact of the original, and it could also provide an easy segue to the original Italian. Simone provides an extensive introduction, ample footnotes for references that may not be clear to the reader, and each Canto provides a prose overview of the poetry to follow, all designed to provide the modern student with access to this important work.

Simone Weil, the French philosopher, political activist, and religious mystic, was little known when she died young in 1943. Four years later the philosopher-farmer Gustave Thibon compiled La pesanteur et la grâce from the notebooks she left in his keeping. In 1952 this English translation accelerated the fame and influence of Simone Weil. The striking aphorisms in Gravity and Grace reflect the religious philosophy of Weil’s last years. Written at the onset of World War II, when her health was deteriorating and her left-wing social activism was giving way to spiritual introspection, this masterwork makes clear why critics have called Simone Weil “a great soul who might have become a saint” and “the Outsider as saint, in an age of alienation.”

Growing up in a Christian home, Amy Peterson was enamored by missionaries—the heavenly heroes. By the time she graduated from college, she was ready to set the world on fire. Seeking her own adventure and desiring to share her Savior, she landed in Southeast Asia to teach English and share Christ privately. God used both incredible miracles and heartbreaking disillusionment to demonstrate that Amy’s surrendering to Him was more important than anything she could “do” for Him.   “No verse in my New Testament asked me to make a difference. According to Jesus, I wasn’t supposed to try to be ‘salt and light’ to a desperate world; I already was.

Dangerous Territory may also challenge you if you grew up in the church but struggle to align your faith with the realities of adult life.
