Book Description
A paper back version of my first published novel, Panjian Galactic History. A false history detailing the trials and tribulations of the "Panjians". They are forced off their home world and slowly rebuild their civilization on a new world. Where they break up into a handful of feuding nation states. As they reform a world government and begin space travel once again, a new foe emerges. The "Drawphi" are a pseudo-religious, dictatorship with dreams of galactic conquest. The Panjians form an alliance against them and put a halt to the Drawphi Empires manifest destiny. Other than the cover text and author comments and bio this is the same book as the e-book I also sell.

Fairies, Demons, and Nature Spirits
Author: Michael Ostling
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 113758520X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 369
Book Description
This book examines the fairies, demons, and nature spirits haunting the margins of Christendom from late-antique Egypt to early modern Scotland to contemporary Amazonia. Contributions from anthropologists, folklorists, historians and religionists explore Christian strategies of encompassment and marginalization, and the ‘small gods’ undisciplined tendency to evade such efforts at exorcism. Lurking in forest or fairy-mound, chuckling in dark corners of the home or of the demoniac’s body, the small gods both define and disturb the borders of a religion that is endlessly syncretistic and in endless, active denial of its own syncretism. The book will be of interest to students of folklore, indigenous Christianity, the history of science, and comparative religion.

Buddhist-Muslim Relations in a Theravada World
Author: Iselin Frydenlund
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 9813298847
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
This book is the first to critically analyze Buddhist-Muslim relations in Theravada Buddhist majority states in South and Southeast Asia. Asia is home to the largest population of Buddhists and Muslims. In recent years, this interfaith communal living has incurred conflicts, such as the ethnic-religious conflicts in Myanmar, Sri Lanka, and Thailand. Experts from around the world collaborate to provide a comprehensive look into religious pluralism and religious violence. The book is divided into two sections. The first section provides historical background to the three countries with the largest Buddhist-Muslim relations. The second section has chapters that focus on specific encounters between Buddhists and Muslims, which includes anti-Buddhist sentiments in Bangladesh, the role of gender in Muslim-Buddhist relations and the rise of anti-Muslim and anti-Rohingya sentiments in Myanmar. By exploring historical fluctuations over time—paying particular attention to how state-formations condition Muslim-Buddhist entanglements—the book shows the processual and relational aspects of religious identity constructions and Buddhist-Muslim interactions in Theravada Buddhist majority states.

Empire of the Winds
Author: Philip Bowring
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1786725193
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 566
Book Description
Winner of the Penang Book Prize 2019 Nusantaria – often referred to as 'Maritime Southeast Asia' – is the world's largest archipelago and has, for centuries, been a vital cultural and trading hub. Nusantara, a Sanskrit, then Malay, word referring to an island realm, is here adapted to become Nusantaria - denoting a slightly wider world but one with a single linguistic, cultural and trading base. Nusantaria encompasses the lands and shores created by the melting of the ice following the last Ice Age. These have long been primarily the domain of the Austronesian-speaking peoples and their seafaring traditions. The surrounding waters have always been uniquely important as a corridor connecting East Asia to India, the Middle East, Europe and Africa. In this book, Philip Bowring provides a history of the world's largest and most important archipelago and its adjacent coasts. He tells the story of the peoples and lands located at this crucial maritime and cultural crossroads, from its birth following the last Ice Age to today.
