The White Lotus Teachings in Chinese Religious History
ISBN: 9789004094147 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 346 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book provides a new hypothesis for understanding the real nature of the term White Lotus Teachings. The author argues that there are actually two different phenomena covered by similar terms: from c. 1130 until 1400, a real lay Buddhist movement existed, which can be called the White Lotus movement. It enjoyed the respect of contemporary literati and religious elites. The movement used the autonym White Lotus Society, which came to be prohibited in the early Ming and was discarded as a result.

Future of Biological Weapons
ISBN: 9780275941017 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The know-how and materials required to produce biological warfare agents are the same as those required for medical and veterinary products; biological warfare technology is quickly spreading across the globe. In this new study, Barend ter Haar argues that a policy of nonproliferation might slow down the current trend toward worldwide deployment of biological weapons, but it is ultimately doomed without a strengthened ban on them.

ISBN: 9789004288836 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 596 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The early Christian presence in Inner Mongolia forms the subject of this book. These Nestorian remains must primarily be attributed to the Ongut, a Turkic people closely allied to the Mongols.

The Power of Patriarchs: Qisong and Lineage in Chinese Buddhism
ISBN: 9789004183018 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 306 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Chan monk Qisong (1007-1072), an important figure in Northern Song religious and intellectual history, has garnered relatively little scholarly attention. This book provides a detailed biography with a focus on the influential historical writings he composed to defend Chan claims of a "mind-to-mind transmission" tracing back to the historical Buddha. It places his defense of lineage in the context not only of attacks by the rival Tiantai school but also of the larger backdrop of the development of lineage and patriarchs as sources of authority in Chinese Buddhism. It advances new...

Gao Xingjian's Idea of Theatre: From the Word to the Image
ISBN: 9789004168282 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book argues that Gao Xingjian's Idea of Theatre can only be explained by his broad knowledge and use of various Chinese and Western theatrical, literary, artistic and philosophical traditions. The author aims to show how Gao's theories of the theatre of anti-illusion, theatre of conscious convention, of the "poor theatre" and total theatre, of the neutral actor and the actor - jester - storyteller are derived from the Far Eastern tradition, and to what extent they have been inspired by 20th century Euro-American reformers of theatre such as Antonin Artaud, Bertolt Brecht, Vsevolod...
