Exploring the visual images produced by two of the world's great religions, this text considers the cultural and spiritual translations that inform and support them, focusing on three key principles. Firstly, it looks at how these images embody history, myth and doctrine, offering a comparative introduction to Buddhism and Christianity. Secondly, it invites readers to see similarities and differences between the images as local inflections of a universal archetype, and the basis for dialogue between two faiths. Finally it aims to make some of the world's most profound and moving art more accessible by illustrating and explaining its patterns and styles.

D.W. Harding was a rarity amongst literary critics since his academic career was passed as Professor of Psychology. Yet this professional occupation never obtruded. As Professor Knights writes in his Foreword, as a critic 'he was one of the most sanely subtle or subtly sane) of his generation'. His title essay, 'Regulated Hatred', altered the course of Austen criticism, and this selection from the best of his writing about his favourite author (some of it previously unpublished) will be an important landmark in Austen criticism.
Extracted from Volume 14 of the Gamble family archives, Blood Feud recounts the harrowing trials and tribulations of the seven Gamble siblings as they are attacked by an unknown and merciless enemy. Flying into the Turks and Caicos Islands to visit Nolan, their mysterious older brother, Adam, Aleta, and Twain Gamble (the author) are assaulted by armed gunmen intent on blood. Meanwhile, halfway around the world, on a volunteer mission in the Philippines, Destiny Gamble is kidnapped by Islamist Terrorist. Certain that the two attacks are related, Nolan Gamble soon discovers that the connection lies in a secret from his past, a secret that should have stayed buried. Now, the desperate Gamble siblings must band together to protect each other and to save sister Destiny from becoming the latest casualty in a bitter and violent blood feud. Blood Feud is the first public release of material from the Gamble family archives. The archives contain the history of the over-achieving, notoriously wealthy Gamble family siblings as well as the unlikely union of their idiosyncratic, seventh-grade-dropout father and their Harvard-Radcliffe valedictorian, to-the-manor born mother.
