"Wash away my sorrow, wash away my shame"
If the subject of Shambhala interests you, not just the idea or philosophy of Shambhala, but the actual place -- or at least taking seriously the possibility of an actual place -- then this is a most fascinating book. The author digests for the reader the various threads of tradition and their sources, as a scholar of recondite Sanskrit, Nepalese, and Tibetan lore, as a wisdom-seeker, and as an adventurer, he follows the directions of ancient texts and living lamas to remote & hidden mountain passes. Difficulties & real dangers accompany his expeditions. Did he find Shambhala? Perhaps that's not the point. Perhaps the point is, can you?

"An inexpensive durable book which I find quite useful."
I am an antiquarian (not a religion), or in other words, an amateur historian/ collector/ linguist, with a particular interest in the Mesopotamian cultures, languages, etc. My study is an old-fashioned Cabinet of Curiosities displaying a variety of ersatz artefacts (a few real ones too), fossils, meteorites, busts of notables, and of course books. The Pocket Timeline of Ancient Mesopotamia seems to be aimed at a juvenile readership (maybe middle-school), but because it illustrates, organises, and contexualises a number of the artefacts of which I have replicas, it works quite nicely as a programme of sorts when I give "tours" of my collection. An inexpensive durable book which I find quite useful. QED.

I expected this to be a coffee table book, superficial but dazzling. Is actually an excellent highly detailed treatment of Renaissance astronomy.
