Watters' meticulous research and expertise in Buddhist literature, combined with his knowledge of Pali and Sanskrit, provide readers with a comprehensive and accurate account of Yuan Chwang's travels. Yuan Chwang, also known as Hiuen Tsiang, traveled extensively across India from AD 629 to 645, documenting his journey in the work titled "Hsi-yu-shi" in Chinese. His records are crucial for understanding one of the golden periods of Indian history. Thomas Watters' translation and study of these records present a corrected and detailed rendition, improving upon earlier translations, such as those by Samuel Beal, which contained numerous errors.

The book includes a graphic itinerary in two maps, arranged by Vincent A. Smith, offering visual representation of Yuan Chwang's journey. This makes the work more accessible and engaging for readers.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The Eighteen Lohan of Chinese Buddhist Temples' is an insightful scholarly examination of the history, symbolism, and cultural significance of the eighteen Lohans-enlightened figures who occupy a central place in the religious art and spiritual life of Chinese Buddhism. Written by the esteemed Sinologist T. Watters, this work provides a detailed exploration of these venerable beings, tracing their origins from early Buddhist traditions to their unique evolution within the Chinese context.

Conglutinates and conglutinate-like objects of 60 species of North American freshwater mussels were examined using scanning-electron microscopy. These structures were found to have a compexity and range of form previously unrealized. They may be organized into groups having similar morphologies. These groups approximate the currently recognized higher taxa and will serve to bolster support for them as phylogenetically coherent groups. In particular the genera Ptychobranchus, Dromus, Obliquaria, Lasmigona, and Strophitus have unique conglutinate-like structures. Superconglutinates most closely resemble collections of amblemine conglutinates. The results of this study may be used in conjunction with other phylogenetic databases (genetic, adult morphology, behavior, etc.) to construct phylogenetic associations based on a more whole-animal approach. 20 pp., 64 figs, stapled 4. …
