Book Description
Penned by advanced graduate students amidst their dissertation fieldwork, these provocative essays capture the challenges and intricacies of that anthropological rite of passage. The collections authors frankly portray the mistakes they made in the field, their struggle to analyze the events unfolding before their eyes, the psychological and emotional frustration seemingly endemic to doing ethnography, and the ethical complexities of researching living people. The authors present these essays not as models of ideal fieldwork or as a series of lessons about how to overcome potential hurdles one faces in the field, but rather as a window into the complexities of being an ethnographer in the contemporary world. Against a backdrop of subject populations increasingly informed about global relations of power and, more specifically, informed about the topography of American imperialism, these humanistic essays vividly reflect recent shifts in both the focus and methods of anthropological research, as well as the dilemmas underlying the construction of anthropological knowledge. They are meant to spark discussion and debate. While tailored to an audience relatively new to ethnographic fieldwork (and intended as a teaching tool), this collection should appeal to anthropologists and ethnographers at all points in their career.

Book Description
Remember when a care-free trip through eight European countries didnt nesessitate taking a loan out on your parents? I do, so come along with me and relive some of those days. I had a lot of fun writing this book so if any of you other old farts out there would like to go back in time for a few hours, now is your chance! I spent three weeks travelling in Europe in each of the years 1973, 1974 and 1976. Ive taken what I think are the most adventurous and humourous parts of the lot and written it down. All names used are actual people who dont need to be protected; and all cities bare my footprints, and as well as many pleasant recollections, especially of London, I have pictures and souvenirs to prove it ....a bag full of foreign coins, a knife from the Kabul Student Hotel in Amsterdam, an ashtray from the Hotellet Absolom in Copenhagen, a towel from the Gaudi in Barcelona.... Although this book is a tad racy for children, it is far from obscene; however, it is not one of Grimms fairy tales. The language is salty and an anal retentive person would certainly consider some parts lewd and lacivious; I think they are funny! The folks at The Christian Science Monitor or the Pope would probably not endorse this effort. And if youre looking for writing like Hemmingways, this aint it - thank God. After having been forced to plod through his The Old Man And The Sea in high school and his gloryifing the cruelty of the running of the bulls in Pamplona, I think he sucked worse than a Shop-Vac! I prefer my own prose. I am not a fan of todays political correctness garbage; so, if anyone wants to take the trouble of carefully going through this book, Im sure youll find something to offend everyone. I make no apologies for this! Many thanks to the people who encouraged me along the way. To my detractors, PHUT_T_T_T! How many books have you had published?

Book Description
Samson and Samuel were Nazars, i.e., consecrated to the service of God. So were Zoroaster (son of Ishta), Azara-Ezra, and Zorobabel (son of Babylon). Nazars were a monastic class of celibates. Apart from Samson and Samuel, Paul and Joseph were also Nazars. Samson was a true Nazarite, i.e., vowed to the service of God. His hair was his strength. His father was Manu. The mother of his counterpart, Samuel, was Anna. An old palm leaf depicts a blind giant of Ceylonian antiquity and fame, with hair reaching to the ground and with outstretched arms embracing the four central pillars of a pagoda, pulling them down onto a crowd of armed enemies. That giant is an antitype of the biblical Samson. Samson was consecrated before his birth to become a Nazarite, i.e., an Adept. His sin with Delilah and the cropping of his long hair shows how well he kept his sacred vow. His allegory is further evidence of the Esotericism of the Bible, as also the character of the “Mystery Gods” of the Jews. Biblical Samson is the Hindu Ganesha; Samuel is the Hebrew Hercules and double of Samson; both are fictitious characters. King David is the Israelitish King Arthur. Samson and Hercules are personifications of neophytes to Initiation, near the end of their trials. They kneel before the hierophant, who cuts off seven locks of their hair representing the golden beams of the sun; and these are replaced by a wreath of sharp ligneous spines, symbolizing the loss. There are two crucifixions, astronomically connected: the crucifixion of the Serpent of Wisdom falling from on high to illumine the hearts and minds of men, and the “crucifixion” of Jesus-Chrēstos, the virtuous man, fabricated by Ecclesiastical Christianity. The neophyte who can overcome the dreadful trials of Initiation (on the cross of his worldly passions) dies in the Chrēstos condition (freed from the clutches of matter) before his second and triumphant birth in Spirit as Christos.
