Voted one of the 10 Books with Kentucky Ties to Have on Your Radar
Anna Perrault likes to write in cemeteries – little does she know she’s not alone.
Anna Perrault is a writer who finds herself unable to write. At the local cemetery, she encounters Jacob Hoffner, the ghost of one of her ancestors. He empathizes with Anna, and sees a way for her to live out his purpose and her own. Anna embarks on a journey into Jacob’s past, where she discovers tales of Masonic rituals, murder, redemption and hope. In modern day Cincinnati, Anna battles inner demons and struggles to find a way to leave the past behind and enlighten her future.
Legacy is the story of two people trying to leave their mark on the world. As the two stories converge, can Anna find her way out of the darkness into the light?

Glossary. Bibliography. Selected addresses. This book offers the story of Buddhism from its beginnings, in the life of Prime Siddhartha Gautama, his transfiguration as the Buddha and the metamorphosis of his vision into Buddhism, the religion. It continues with its migration to different countries and the development of a specific identity in each place, with ideas and practices distinct to each sect and school. History, fact and legend intertwine in the making of a philosophy that is the guiding light to three hundred million people worldwide. Deeply rooted in ancient traditions, Buddhism was virtually obliterated in its originating homeland, India, before making a comeback worldwide. Flexible, practical, and foremost an ethical creed, Buddhism's ability to maintain its core beliefs while adapting to each new environment, is the secret of its continuing strength and growth. Hence also the growth of Buddhist adherents in all parts of the world today - for this creed, they claim, has the healing touch we all so desperately need.No. 20331 310 pp. Artikel-Nr. 31122

Themes of sculpture and painting. 5. Ajanta Caves. 6. Museums in and monuments around Aurangabad. Practical tips and information. Glossary. Further reading. Appendix: Genealogy of the Vakatakas. "Situated about 106 kilometres from Aurangabad in Maharashtra, the Ajanta caves are creations of about 700 years (200 BC--AD 525). Discovered in 1819, Ajanta was declared a World Heritage Site in 1983. Adorned with exquisite sculptures and murals, the caves represent the peak of Buddhist art in India. Part of the prestigious Monumental Legacy Series, the book takes readers on an enthralling voyage of the thirty caves--its patrons, religious background, architecture of viharas and chaityagrihas, themes of sculptures and paintings, and painting techniques. Providing detailed descriptions of the caves, it gives graphic insights into contemporary life, history of Buddhism, and its transition from Hinayana to Mahayana form in India. Jamkhedkar highlights the importance of the Ajanta caves in understanding the antiquity and development of rock-cut caves and the spread of Buddhism. The book also presents a succinct account of the monuments and museums around Aurangabad. The illustrations, layout plans, maps and photographs in this volume provide a comprehensive visual presentation of the site for visitors who will also find the glossary and practical tips useful. Lucidly written, this book will be indispensable for general readers, and informed tourists visiting the site. Students and scholars of history, Buddhist and cultural studies, and art and architecture will find the work interesting.". Artikel-Nr. ABE-1609835255595
