The Kraton

Selected Essays on Javanese Courts

By: Stuart Robson

This volume contains English translations of a number of Dutch-language articles selected for their relevance to the institution of the Kraton, the Javanese palace complex, as it was towards the end of the colonial period, in the 1930s. The majority of the articles, originally published in the period from 1921 to 1941, relate especially to the Sultanate of Yogyakarta, rather than the Kraton of Surakarta. The reason for this is probably that they are taken mostly from the journal Djåwå, published by the Java Instituut (Java Institute), which was located in Yogyakarta. The aim of republishing these articles in translation is to make them accessible to a wider audience of scholars interested in Indonesia, in the belief that they contain information of lasting value for the study of the history, in particular the social and cultural history, of Java.

A Wit's World

Six Novellas

By: Stuart R. Schwartz

Eleven-year-old Maria considers herself an ordinary girl during a seemingly ordinary time in America when the milkman makes biweekly deliveries, Sunday drives are a regular occurrence, and vacations are spent at a family cabin. Thirty years later as Maria reflects on her childhood memories, she realizes that everything changed after her twelfth birthday when she met an elderly woman. In a collection of six novellas, Stuart Schwartz chronicles the lives of diverse characters as they navigate their way through life surrounded by drama, humor, intrigue, philosophical thoughts, and imaginary fun. Three years after Billy Buttons receives a stuffed lamb as a gift from his mother, he discovers the animal can talk. But the real fun begins when he lets Lambie out of his book bag. In Colonia, Illinois, the neighbors on Orchard Street mostly keep to themselves, except for two couples. Morton and Toni Williams and Ralph and Dawn Schultz are close friends. But when they attend a pyramid-scheme seminar, no one anticipates what comes next. A Wit’s World is a volume of six novellas that highlight the personal experiences and challenges facing a band of characters, each with their own ideas on how to triumph and persevere.

Mao's Road to Power: Revolutionary Writings, 1912-49: v. 1: Pre-Marxist Period, 1912-20

Revolutionary Writings, 1912-49

By: Zedong Mao,Stuart Schram

Revolution in its Leninist guise has been a dominant force in the world for most of the 20th century, and the Chinese revolution has been, with the Russian revolution, one of its two most important manifestations. Mao Zedong, the architect of victory in China in 1949, stands out as one of the dominant figures of the century. Guerilla leader, strategist, conqueror, ruler, poet and philosopher, he placed his imprint on China, and on the world. Even though today communism is widely seen as bankrupt, Mao Zedong's achievements as an innovative disciple of Lenin and Stalin in the most populous nation on earth guarantees his place in history. Whatever the ultimate fate of communism in China, the fact of Mao's influence on events during more than five decades, and its resonance after his death, will remain. This edition of Mao Zedong's writings provides abundant documentation in his own words regarding his life and thought. It has been compiled from all available Chinese sources, including not only the 20-volume edition published in Tokyo years ago, but many new materials issued in China since 1978, both openly and for internal circulation. The editors have pursued a threefold goal: firstly, to translate every text by Mao which could be obtained, so as to make this English version as complete as possible; secondly, to annotate the materials in sufficient detail to make them accessible to the non-specialist reader; and thirdly, to combine accuracy with a level of literary quality which is intended to make the volumes agreeable as well as instructive to read. Volume 1 includes translations of the entire contents of the authoritative "Mao Zedong Zaoqi Wengao 1912.6-1920.11" ("Draft writings from Mao Zedong's early period, June 1912-November 1920"), published in Beijing in 1990, plus some 15 additional texts for the same period which have been attributed to Mao. Among the items thus made available in English are his first surviving work, a middle school essay of 1912 in praise of Shang Yang; his very extensive "Classroom Notes" of late 1913 on the lectures of his most influential teachers, Yang Changji and "Yuan the Big Beard"; a dozen letters to his then close friend Xiao Zisheng (Siao-yu), who described a shared odyssey in "Mao-Tse-tung and I were Beggars"; his marginal annotations of 1918 to the German philosopher Friedrich Paulsen's work on ethics, in which Mao proclaimed himself a believer in "individualism" and an admirer of Nietzsche; and many important letters, articles, and other writings documenting his evolution from liberalism to anarchism and finally to Marxism in 1919-1920.

Anvil of Necessity

By: Stuart Slade

SECOND EDITION ¿ A year after The Big One ended World War Two in a single day, Europe is fighting to survive the aftermath of the nuclear strike. A catastrophic famine has struck Europe, spreading starvation to every country in its path. Winners and losers alike struggle to feed their populations as food supplies run out and they must depend on aid from the rest of the world.Yet, for all the fury of the B-36s and their nuclear weapons, the fighting is not yet over. Germany may have been utterly destroyed but its armies on foreign soil survive. Now, Generalfeldmarschall Erwin Rommel and Marshal Konstantin Rokossovsky must struggle to put aside the legacy of seven year vicious fighting and try to avoid more bloodshed. As they maneuver to save the lives of the men under their command, a shipyard worker in a shattered and defeated Britain must fight to find a future for his family.Yet, despite the hideous example set by the total destruction of Germany, there are still those who would resort to war in order to achieve their ends. Now is the time for those who wish for peace to band together and deter those who prefer war. It is time for nations across the world to remember that hard decisions are not made from desire but on the anvil of necessity.

Port Moresby: Taim bipo

By: Stuart Hawthorne

This book is about Port Moresby — the capital of Papua New Guinea — but it is not about the city of today. Rather, it is about taim bipo (a Pidgin English term meaning ‘previously’ or ‘as it was’), about how life was lived in Port Moresby in the two decades before 1975 when PNG was still under Australian control. These were years of peace and progress—when it was still a ‘lovely and gentle city’ — far removed from the somewhat turbulent times that followed PNG’s independence. With over 400 illustrations, this volume is a fascinating slice through time, capturing page after page of this unique period of history that Australia and PNG share. Anyone who has ever lived in Port Moresby or has the slightest affection for how the town used to be will find it impossible to put this book down.

Historical Dictionary of Japanese Business

By: Stuart D.B. Picken

Japan, although now listed as the world’s third-largest economy after that of the United States and China, has been too readily dismissed in the late 20th century as a spent force. This is as unfortunate as it is incorrect for a number of reasons. First, while the Peoples’ Republic of China. is indeed growing and its markets are expanding, an enormous amount of the impetus for development as well as logistical support is coming from large numbers of Japanese corporations operating in the PRC. Major Japanese enterprises such as Toyota, Sony, and Honda are already in China or are in the process of establishing a presence there. The export of Japanese technology remains an important contribution to China’s development. The benchmark of product quality within Asia and in some areas beyond has been set by Japanese industrial standards. This second edition of Historical Dictionary of Japanese Business contains a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 800 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, Japanese businesses, politics, and economy,. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Japanese Business.

Pura Besakih

Temple, Religion and Society in Bali

By: D.J. Stuart-Fox

Pura Besakih is the paramount Hindu temple on Bali. Located high on the slopes of the volcano Mt Agung, it has developed over more than a thousand years into a great complex of 22 separate temples, the largest and central being Pura Penataran Agung. The annual cycle of more than seventy rituals, which symbolically link the temples into a whole, culminates in the centenary ceremony called Ekadasa Rudra (last held in 1979). The temple complex, state-supported at least since the fifteenth century, has undergone a series of architectural and ritual changes. This study combines an analysis of textual and historical sources with the fieldwork methods of anthropology in creating a unified interpretation of this great temple.

Wisdom from a Rainforest

Wisdom from a Rainforest

The Spiritual Journey of an Anthropologist

By: Stuart A. Schlegel

In the early sixties, Stuart Schlegel went into a remote rainforest on the Philippine island of Mindanao as an anthropologist in search of material. What he found was a group of people whose tolerant, gentle way of life would transform his own values and beliefs profoundly. Wisdom from a Rainforest is Schlegel's testament to his experience and to the Teduray people of Figel, from whom he learned such vital, lasting lessons. Schlegel's lively ethnography of the Teduray portrays how their behavior and traditions revolved around kindness and compassion for humans, animals, and the spirits sharing their worlds. Schlegel describes the Teduray's remarkable legal system and their strong story-telling tradition, their elaborate cosmology, and their ritual celebrations. At the same time, Schlegel recounts his own transformation—how his worldview as a member of an advanced, civilized society was shaken to the core by a so-called primitive people. He begins to realize how culturally determined his own values are and to see with great clarity how much the Teduray can teach him about gender equality, tolerance for difference, generosity, and cooperation. By turns funny, tender, and gripping, Wisdom from a Rainforest honors the Teduray's legacy and helps us see how much we can learn from a way of life so different from our own.
