Summary of Nyanaponika & Hellmuth Hecker's Great Disciples of the Buddha
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Buddhist universe is made up of three primary realms, with several subsidiary planes.

Similes of the Buddha
This book is an introductory guide to the rich, wonderful, and profound world of Buddhist similes.

The Life of Nyanatiloka Thera
Ven. Nyanatiloka was one of the pioneers of Buddhism in the modern world and the first European Buddhist monk. As the world’s senior Western bhikkhu, ordained in 1903, Nyanatiloka attracted many disciples, through whose work his influence continues to be felt today, more than fifty years after his death.

Multiple Nationality And International Law
This book is a comprehensive overview of multiple nationality in international law, and contains a survey of current State practice covering over 75 countries. It examines the topic in light of the historical treatment of multiple nationality by States, international bodies and commentators, setting out the general trends in international law and relations that have influenced nationality. While the book's purpose is not to debate the merits of multiple nationality, but to present actual state practice, it does survey arguments for and against multiple nationality, and considers States' motivations in adopting a particular attitude toward the topic. As a reference work, the volume includes a detailed examination of the nature of nationality under international law and the concepts of nationality and citizenship under municipal law. The survey of State practice also constitutes a valuable resource for practitioners.
