Buddhist Circuit in Central India
From the 3rd century BC, when Emperor Ashoka erected the famous pillar and stupa at Sanchi, Sanchi has been a favoured spiritual hub for Buddhists. Buddhist Circuit in Central India explores the architectural magic and historical importance of Sanchi with breathtaking images, as well as Buddhist sites around Sanchi Sonari, Satdhara, Andher and Murelkhurd which are historically significant, and yet off the beaten track. The guide covers some nearby destinations from Sanchi that make for exciting day-trips like Udaigiri Caves, Gyaraspur, Vidisha, and Udaypur. There is a well-researched section on Bhopal, the gateway to Sanchi, and two convenient excursions Bhimbhetka and Bhojpur. The guide will not only be an invaluable companion to Buddhist pilgrims, but to tourists, connoisseurs of Buddhist art and architecture and the armchair traveller.
佛教建國信仰與佛教造像（上）、（下）
本書內容談論兩種大乘佛教的建國信仰：一是貴霜王朝於1世紀後半葉在犍陀羅奠立的佛教建國信仰，二是龍樹在2世紀中期左右於南印度奠立的佛教建國信仰。這兩種大乘佛教政治傳統同時運用文字（經典）和藝術形象來推廣信仰，因此，本書也探討大乘佛教經典及佛教造像，如何與這兩種政治傳統交織發展。 以往學術界對佛教建國信仰鮮有討論，這是古正美教授投入這個領域的原因之一。透過長期而深入的研究，她發現，上述兩種政治傳統之間存在著密切的關聯。她也指出，大乘佛教自在歷史上崛起之時，便具有政治信仰的個性，而這是古代印度發展的佛教不曾見過之特質。大乘佛教因此可說是中亞文化影響的情況下形成的新佛教傳統。

Gathering papers on these developments, this timely book is a valuable resource for a wide audience, including plant scientists, agronomists, soil scientists, botanists, environmental scientists and extention workers.
Prosopis Juliflora
Prosopis (Prosopis juliflora) is a xerophyte which, in its native habitats has been a desert plant. As long as it was confined to that habitat, P. juliflora was a great resource, improving the region's micrometeorology, binding its sandy soil, and providing shelter, fuel, feed, food, medicines, and cosmetics to the people of such regions. In particular, for the economically weaker inhabitants, P.juliflora was a lifeline.But when P. juliflora was indiscriminately introduced in other regions of the world in a hope to derive similar benefits from it, things began to go awry. Indeed, among the invasive species of plants which are spreading at an alarming rate in the tropical and sub-tropical reg...
