Genre: Religion

This book explores the material religion of contemporary Shimla, a vibrant postcolonial city, famed for its colonial heritage, set against the backdrop of the North-Western Himalayas. Jonathan Miles-Watson demonstrates that this landscape is able to peacefully reconcile the apparent tensions of faith, heritage and identity in a way that unseats traditional theories of religion, politics and heritage. It presents a mystery that is written in space through time; the key to unlocking this mystery lies in clear view, at the city's heart, in the contemporary material religion that surrounds nominally Christian sacred sites. Although the material religion centres on landscapes that are identifiable as Christian, the book demonstrates that Hindus, atheists and Sikhs all have a role to play in the mutually constitutive relations that lie at the centre of these knots of sacred entanglement. This book builds upon over a decade of research to present an ethnographic account of devotional practices that speaks to contemporary developments in both the anthropology of Christianity and material religion. Through this exploration the book answers the mystery of Shimla's postcolonial harmony, while complicating established theories in the anthropology of religion, postcolonial studies, mythography, heritage studies and material culture.

In 1735, Jessica Cooper drives her buggy to a large field in Greenwich Village to greet her husband, Nick. She finds him making love to another woman, quickly retreats unnoticed, and makes her way back home in horror. Upon Nick's return, Jessica poisons him and buries his body in their house at 17 Barrow Street. Two centuries later, Jessica is reborn in Greenwich Village, only this time her name is Rebecca, and it's her turn to fool around. She has an affair with neurosurgeon John Grover. Following the brutal murder of John's wife, Rebecca marries him. That's when things start to go bump in the night at 17 Barrow Street. While Dr. Grover's first wife and Rebecca's previous husband may be physically gone, they're not leaving quietly in spirit. Apocalypse: Shadow Asylum features a disturbing and provocative series of events laced with deceit, treachery, revenge, and the supernatural. Fear The Dead gives this book 10 slashes out of 10. "The most entertaining book I have read in years." The Black Star News-NYC: "Each page leaves you hungry for what's next."

The world’s bestselling travel book is back in a more informative, more experiential, more budget-friendly full-color edition. A #1 New York Times bestseller, 1,000 Places reinvented the idea of travel book as both wish list and practical guide. As Newsweek wrote, it “tells you what’s beautiful, what’s fun, and what’s just unforgettable— everywhere on earth.” And now the best is better. There are 600 full-color photographs. Over 200 entirely new entries, including visits to 28 countries like Lebanon, Croatia, Estonia, and Nicaragua, that were not in the original edition. There is an emphasis on experiences: an entry covers not just Positano or Ravello, but the full 30-mile stretch along the Amalfi Coast. Every entry from the original edition has been readdressed, rewritten, and made fuller, with more suggestions for places to stay, restaurants to visit, festivals to check out. And throughout, the book is more budget-conscious, starred restaurants and historic hotels such as the Ritz, but also moderately priced gems that don’t compromise on atmosphere or charm. The world is calling. Time to answer.
