Encyclopedia of Eastern Philosophy and Religion
Great reference book at a small price.You will not be dissapointed. I wasn't. I love it.Just wish it was also a dictionary with roman transliteration

I LOVE this book!
This has been my best investment to help me mentally organize the plethora of terms associated with eastern spiritual traditions. The term descriptions show links to other terms within the encyclopedia so it's kinda like following hypertext links on the internet. I can't praise the authors enough for their collaborative creation. Exellent job!

Not what the title suggests
I can not give this book one star or less as a reflection of my disappointment in what I was expecting. I was expecting an "encyclopedia" of eastern philosophy. I received a "dictionary" of eastern philosophy. I write this review to prevent others from spending money as I did in hopes of getting some kind of overview of eastern philosophy. You will not. Do you wonder what Abhava means? Or Miroku? How about Hsi K'ang? Then buy this book. This is a thorough (very thorough) glossary of terms. I have been reading western and a mix of western and eastern philosophy by western authors. So I thought I'd pick up this book to ease myself into eastern philosophy, to get an idea of what is out there and what might be to my liking. If you are looking for the same, save your money. If, on the other hand, you are a student or a reader of eastern philosophy who needs reference material to help you along the way I would not hesitate to recommend this book. It is smartly organized (just like a dictionary) with an impressive bibliography. Keep in mind though, this is strictly a reference book. My hope was to find an introduction to eastern philosophy. You will not find yourself reading this book but rather augmenting what you are currently reading through its vast definition of terms. I look forward to using it when I am finally introduced to real eastern philosophical writings. I must give this four stars for its content (I'd like to give it none in comparison to what I was expecting but that would be inappropriate) However, "The Dictionary of Eastern Philosophy and Religion" would have been a more appropriate title. Had that been the title, I would have stayed away and saved twenty-five dollars. Hopefully I will have a use for it in the future.

An helpful Reference Book at a Reasonable Price
Usually Reference Books of this type are quite expensive and are also often difficult to find. Congratulations to Shambhala Press for providing a useful book at a reasonable price. The Book concentrates on four areas: Buddhism, Hindiusm, Taoism and Zen. The first three are covered by German and Austrian Scholars, and Zen by a Japanese Scholar. The Book is a translation (by Committee) from the German, and suffers surprisingly little as a result. All entries are Alphabetical and are coded to the four categories listed above, thus making it easy to use. Within the text of the entries arrows next to trems lead readers to related entries. The entries are by necccessity brief. An extensive but incomplete Bibliography, provides much of the most important Source Material. It is an ambitious undertaking to produce a one Volume, 468 page, Reference Book of this type. I think that the Editors have succeeded in their undertaking. I hope that subsequent editions will expand on some of the more important entries and add others. I recommend this Book highly to Students and Scholars alike.

Excerpt:Curse Curse (born Michael S. Kurth , 6 September 1978) is a German hip hop artist from Minden . Biography Curse has had a long musical past. In his youth, he played songs like " Zwei Mal In Den Kopf " ("Twice into the head") in his former band Phat Kicks . In the 1990s, his band had gigs in the area of Stadthagen . On his first album Feuerwasser (released in 2000), his lyrics have already been self-reflected and they have handled with things that had happened in his life, but also contained classical hip hop tracks such as representing- and battle-tracks. He especially raps about abortive relationships and admits mistakes to himself. For that reason, he is somewhat of an outsider in the hip hop scene. The beats on Feuerwasser and many other releases are often produced by Sascha Bühren aka Busy . In 2001, his next album Von Innen Nach Außen (which literally means "From the Inside to the Outside") was released. On this album, Curse continued his style and the lead single Lass uns doch Freunde sein ("Let us be friends") was distinguishing from current rap clichés and thus gaining attention even outside the hip hop scene. The German hip hop magazine Juice rewarded this album with the title " Best National Album ". This album has even been released in Japan . It reached the German Top-Ten Charts. On his third album Innere Sicherheit ("Inner Security") his style changed in many aspects: While the beats on his previous albums were mainly produced electronically, the beats on this album are produced with a wide range of instruments: Fro... ...

Excerpt:Artur Axmann (18 February 1913 24 October 1996) was the German Nazi leader of the Hitler Youth ( Reichsjugendführer ) from 1940 through war's end in 1945. Early life Axmann was born in Hagen on 18 February 1913. He studied law and in 1928, founded the first Hitler Youth group in Westphalia .

Axmann gained a place for the Hitler Youth in the direction of state vocational training and succeeded in raising the status of Hitler Youth agricultural work. He was on active service on the western front until May 1940. In August of the same year he succeeded Baldur von Schirach as Reich Youth Leader ( Reichsjugendführer ) of the Nazi Party. In 1941, he was severely wounded on the eastern front, losing an arm.

Many of the young people fighting for Germany under Axmann died having received neither military training nor equipment.
