2 volumes. Regiones y religiones en Mexico 302 pages with tables, charts, maps (many in color), photographs, plates and bibliography. Oblong octavo (8 3/4" x 11 3/4") bound in original publisher's white pictorial boards in original jacket. First edition limited to 2000 copies.This work deals with the composition of the religious social field in the last decades and shows a panorama where a large part of the Mexican population was united by a religion -the Catholic- and its transition to a landscape where the faithful have diversified their beliefs, opening a mosaic of new practices and religious proposals, assuming a dynamic role in the midst of a tense socio-historical and, to a large extent, economic context. The immediate precedent of Regions and religions in Mexico. Studies of socio-religious transformation, coordinated by Alberto Hernández and Carolina Rivera, can be found in the Atlas of religious diversity in Mexico (De la Torre and Gutiérrez, 2007), in which the process of diversification of religions was analyzed. There, the multi-causality of religious change was addressed. The statistical analysis has transcended the border between that work and that which concerns me to enter the complex field of religious beliefs. The authors of this work open a window to the knowledge of religious diversification in the Mexican republic, whose effervescence, they point out, has taken place for 30 years but its beginning is visible a couple of decades ago. These antecedents are analyzed throughout the text so that we can follow in each region the varied historical, social and economic scenarios that have stitched together this complex plot of the religious field and that this study untangles for readers in a very understandable way.Condition:A fine copy in like jacket., El Colegio de la Frontera Norte, 2007-2009, 2012-06-06.

The authors?profound intimacy with their subject is immediately apparent in these awe-inspiring images, which present a harmonious mosaic of the unmatched richness of the civilization on the Roof of the World. The beauty of the majestic Himalayan landscape, of the Tibetan people ?spiritual masters and humble shepherds alike ?and of their sacred places all inspire a desire to look within, in search of an understanding of the essence of Buddhism and the Himalayan spirit. The pictures are accompanied throughout by contributions from nineteen eminent specialists on the region, who discuss the culture, customs, politics and faith of the Himalayan world; past and present. Reflecting not only the cycle of human existence but also the history of the Himalayas, this lavish volume offers an unparalleled insight into Himalayan Buddhism in the 21st century. Olivier and Danielle Föllmi, winners of the World Press Photo Prize, have published fourteen books and have dedicated more than twenty-five years to this project. Matthieu Ricard has been living in the Himalayas as a Buddhist monk for the past thirty years, and has been the French interpreter for the Dalai Lama since 1989.

"Offers a rare account of the great role played by early Islam in defining the 'look' of Jerusalem that remained largely intact until the twentieth century. From about 640 to 1100, Muslims transformed Christian Jerusalem, mainly the area now known as the Haram al-Sharif, both physically and ideologically to embody their new faith. Grabar examines this process, showing how it led to great architectural achievements, including The Dome of the Rock, still perhaps the most vivid image to impress any visitor to Jerusalem. Offering a major photographic record of The Dome's mosaics in color together with its interiors, this book shows in rich detail how Islam articulated itself architecturally, touching on historical and legendary memories and on themes of both religious harmony and Islamic triumph."
