Illustrated with b/w and color pictures and maps.' Step into the violent world of the 13th century, where the European states of the Levant battled with Muslim powers for control of Jerusalem. At the cutting edge of the conflict were the elite fighting men of the Crusader and Egyptian armies - the Knights Templar and the Mamluks, respectively. The Templars were the most famous and formidable of the European Military Orders, while the Mamluks were a slave caste whose fighting prowess had elevated them to the point of holding real political power, threatening their Ayyubid masters who relied on them so desperately for military success. This book draws on the latest research to tell the story of three key engagements from the Fifth Crusade to the Seventh Crusade. It reveals the extraordinary ferocity with which these battles were fought, and how the struggle between Templar and Mamluk came to shape the political future of the region'.

In 1810, an enterprising Indian called Sake Deen Mohammed opened the Hindostanee Coffee House in London, laying the foundation of a unique British institution – the curry house. The curry industry has grown rapidly over the years. Chicken tikka masala has been officially recognised as a British dish. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, Indian restaurants in the UK far outnumbered Chinese restaurants, which numbered around 5,000. Britons ate 200 million poppadums and 50,000 tonnes of rice a year. The industry had an annual turnover of over £2.5 billion and employed about 56,000 workers. The taste for Indian food is continually evolving. Indian restaurants have broken the Michelin barrier and have made their mark among other coveted London restaurants. The popularity of curry continues to soar and its future looks bright. This book traces the genesis and evolution of the curry industry, and pays tribute to those who put ‘curry’ on the British map and made it a universal favourite.

Asanga in the fourth century meditated on Maitreya for twelve years and then was able to meet the Maitreya Buddha (the next Buddha) directly, who gave him five works including this text. Asanga then went on to found the Mind-only or Chittamatra School of Buddhism. This text, which contains both the root verses of Maitreya and a Commentary on these verses by Thrangu Rinpoche, begins by giving the characteristics of Dharma which is ordinary phenomena as we perceive it as unenlightened beings. Phenomena is described in detail by giving its characteristics, its constituents or elements, and finally its source which is the mind. Discussed are the eight consciousnesses especially the alaya consciousness and how it creates the appearance of this world. Understanding dharma allows us to understand how we build up a false illusion of this World and this then leads to our problems in samsara Next, the text discusses dharmata or phenomena as it really is, not as it appears, in`detail. In describing this sphere of reality or pure being, the text gives the characteristics of dharmata, where it is located, and the kinds of Meditation needed to develop a Perception of the true Nature of reality. Finally, there is a discussion of how one transforms ordinary dharma into dharmata, i.e. how one reaches awakening or enlightenment. This is discussed in ten famous points and this is actually a guide or a Map to how to proceed along the Buddhist path. This text has been extensively studied in Tibet, particulary among the Kagyu and Nyingma traditions. Now the Student can read this profound work and a clear commentary on it by a world-renowned scholar who has been studying and also putting this text into practice for the last half century.

Barto Arnold III, State Marine Archeologist, Texas Historical Commission The Gulf Coast has been a principal place of entry into Texas ever since Alonso Alvarez de Pineda explored these shores in 1519. Yet, nearly five hundred years later, the maritime history of Texas remains largely untold. In this book, Richard V. Francaviglia offers a comprehensive overview of Texas' merchant and military marine history, drawn from his own extensive collection of maritime history materials, as well as from research in libraries and museums around the country. Based on recent discoveries in nautical archaeology, Francaviglia tells the stories of the Spanish flotilla that wrecked off Padre Island in 1554 and of La Salle's flagship Belle, which sank in 1687. He explores the role of the Texas Navy in the Texas Revolution of 1835-1836 and during the years of the Texas Republic and also describes the Civil War battles at Galveston and Sabine Pass. Finally, he recounts major developments of the nineteenth century, concluding with the disastrous Galveston Hurricane in 1900. More than one hundred illustrations, many never before published, complement the text. Media > Book, [PU: University of Texas Press]<
