Violence and the Sacred
Violence and the Sacred is René Girard's landmark study of human evil. Here Girard explores violence as it is represented and occurs throughout history, literature and myth. Girard's forceful and thought-provoking analyses of Biblical narrative, Greek tragedy and the lynchings and pogroms propagated by contemporary states illustrate his central argument that violence belongs to everyone and is at the heart of the sacred.
Minerals as Advanced Materials I

The author studied Crystallography at the St.Petersburg State University.
The People of Tibet
The present book is an attempt to speak about the life of the Tibetan people in their own homes. The contents are left on the author's first-hand knowledge of Tibetan life during a residence of nearly twenty years from a conversation with his Tibetan acquaintances in their own language not through interpreters. In order to keep this volume within moderate limits, he had to exclude from it many aspects of Tibetan life. Shut-off from the outer world by their immense mountain barriers Tibet still presented a virgin field of enquiry. There has been little change in the inner life of the people during the last thousand years. As the area is very large and the intercourse of one part with another is restricted, the manners and customs vary in different districts and provinces.
