An invaluable tool with a variety of uses, containing over 600 prefixes, 400 suffixes & 35 inflections. The format followed is - Prefixes: ptero- indicates feather, wing or winglike part pterosaur (ptero saur); Suffixes: -plasm biology - indicates the material characteristically forming cells protoplasm (proto plasm); Inflections: -ern used to indicate adjectives indicating direction southern (south ern). 1001 AFFIXES clearly demonstrates how the essential components of the English print system - roots, prefixes, suffixes & inflections, are integrated within the framework of a unitary & comprehensive structuring system. It is the first reference work which credibly explains the compatibility of spoken & printed language. This book is useful for etymologists, teachers, students, adult literacy, SAT & MCAT preparation, ESL classes, & for word lovers of all kinds. Emmet Betts, Professor Emeritus, Florida State U, calls Laurita's works "a rewarding experience which merit thoughtful evaluation by educators, psychologists, orthographers & spelling reformers." A. J. Kirschner, Children's Hospital, McGill U, writes that Laurita has "...succeeded in bringing new order to spelling which has great practical significance."

A full translation of an important Mahāyāna Buddhist treatise with a commentary by the famous Tibetan luminary Jamgön Mipham. A monumental work and Indian Buddhist classic, the Ornament of the Mahāyāna Sūtras (Mahāyānasūtrālaṃkāra) is a precious resource for students wishing to study in-depth the philosophy and path of Mahāyāna Buddhism. This full translation and commentary outlines the importance of Mahāyāna, the centrality of bodhicitta or the mind of awakening, the path of becoming a bodhisattva, and how one can save beings from suffering through skillful means. This definitive composition of Mahāyāna teachings was imparted in the fourth century by Maitreya to the famous adept Asaṅga, one of the most prolific writers of Buddhist treatises in history. Asaṅga’s work, which is among the famous Five Treatises of Maitreya, has been studied, commented upon, and taught by Buddhists throughout Asia ever since it was composed. In the early twentieth century, one of Tibet’s greatest scholars and saints, Jamgön Mipham, wrote A Feast of the Nectar of the Supreme Vehicle, which is a detailed explanation of every verse. This commentary has since been used as the primary blueprint for Tibetan Buddhists to illuminate the depth and brilliance of Maitreya’s pith teachings. The Padmakara Translation Group has provided yet another accessible and eloquent translation, ensuring that English-speaking students of Mahāyāna will be able to study this foundational Buddhist text for generations to come.
