This book is an open access book. Many scholars have wondered if a non-Western theory of international politics founded on different premises, be it from Asia or from the “Global South,” could release international relations from the grip of a Western, “Westphalian” model. This book argues that a Buddhist approach to international relations could provide a genuine alternative. Because of its distinctive philosophical positions and its unique understanding of reality, human nature and political behavior, a Buddhist theory of IR offers a way out of this dilemma, a means for transcending the Westphalian predicament. The author explains this Buddhist IR model, beginning with its philosophical foundations up through its ideas about politics, economics and statecraft.
Ways of Wood Folk first appeared in 1899 and is now considered a beloved classic that brilliantly brings nature to life. Mr. William J. Long wrote this collection of stories to share his love of the wilderness with the young and the old. These tales from the woods accurately portray the habits of animals with new details that many do not know. This living book makes a perfect addition to complete a Charlotte Mason style education.
Nothing is more moving as a tribute than one dedicated to one's family lineage and the valuable wisdom from ancestors. Author William J. Long saw the merit as well in exploring his family tree, especially after his cousin Shelvia requested to know more of their family history. His efforts established this personal family memoir, Survival Lessons, which encompasses life lessons from their family's lineage in the small town of Ash North Carolina. Divided into two parts, each focuses on the author and Shelvia's individual families, and how their lives were impacted by history, family trials and the daily occurrences within their faith-based community. William also does extensive research on the town's past as well, from church establishments to backgrounds on town figures to changes in the community. This book of lineage is to inspire a sense of survival and purpose, realizing God provides and shapes each person through the past.

Reverend William Joseph Long (1866-1952) was an American author. He lived and worked in Stamford, Connecticut as a minister of the First Congregationalist Church. His works include: Ways of Wood Folk (1899), Wilderness Ways (1900), Secrets of the Woods (1901), Beasts of the Field (1901), School of the Woods (1902), Following the Deer (1903), Wood Folk at School (1903), Little Brother to the Bear, and other Animal Studies (1903), Northern Trails: Some Studies of Animal Life in the Far North (1905), A History of English Literature (1908), English Literature: Its History and its Significance (1909), American Literature (1913), Outlines of English and American Literature (1917), How Animals Talk, and Other Pleasant Studies of Birds and Beast (1919), Mother Nature: A Study of Animal Life and Death (1923), America: A History of Our Country (1923), Outlines of American Literature, With Readings (1925), Outlines of English Literature, With Readings (1925), Our Country (1929), The Spirit of the Wild (1956) and Wings of the Forest (1957).
It may surprise many, whose knowledge of wild animals is gained from rare, fleeting glimpses of frightened hoof or wing in the woods, to consider that there can be such a thing as a school for the Wood Folk; or that instruction has any place in the life of the wild things. Nevertheless it is probably true that education among the higher order of animals has its distinct place and value. Their knowledge, however simple, is still the result of three factors: instinct, training, and experience. Instinct only begins the work; the mother's training develops and supplements the instinct; and contact with the world, with its sudden dangers and unknown forces, finishes the process.For many years the writer has been watching animals and recording his observations with the idea of determining, if possible, which of these three is the governing factor in the animal's life. Some of the results of this study were published last year in a book called “School of the Woods,” which consisted of certain studies of animals from life, and certain theories in the form of essays to account for what the writer's eyes had seen and his own ears heard in the great wilderness among the animals. A school reader is no place for theories; therefore that part of the book is not given here. The animal studies alone are reproduced in answer to the requests from many teachers that these be added to the Wood Folk books. From these the reader can form his own conclusions as to the relative importance of instinct and training, if he will. But there is another and a better way open: watch the purple martins for a few days when the young birds first leave the house; find a crow's nest, and watch secretly while the old birds are teaching their little ones to fly; follow a fox, or any other wild mother-animal, patiently as she leaves the den and leads the cubs out into the world of unknown sights and sounds and smells,—and you will learn more in a week of what education means to the animals than anybody's theories can ever teach you.These are largely studies of individual animals and birds. They do not attempt to give the habits of a class or species, for the animals of the same class are alike only in a general way; they differ in interest and intelligence quite as widely as men and women of the same class, if you but watch them closely enough. The names here given are those of the Milicete Indians, as nearly as I can remember them; and the incidents have all passed under my own-eyes and were recorded in the woods, from my tent or canoe, just as I saw them.WILLIAM J. LONG.
