| 1. |  | Hinduism : A Very Short Introduction from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $9.32 Customer Review:  Hinduism has a special place among the world's major religions, being of great antiquity and being, until recent times, an ethnic or racial religion, like Judaism, Sikhism or Shinto. In the last century it has spread its teachings to the West and in doing so has fragmented and branched into an even... |

| 2. |  | Buddhism: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions) from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $8.54 Customer Review:  Finishing Damien Keown's "Buddhism: A Very Short Introduction" (Oxford UP, 1996), I compared his understanding to the book immediately prior that I had reviewed on Amazon, "god Is Not Great," by Christopher Hitchens. The latter writer fails to note the Dalai Lama's own insistence that if scientific... |

| 3. |  | The Buddha: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions) from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $9.32 Customer Review: This lucid little book draws on the Pali canon to retell the life of the Buddha and to recast his philosophy as a strategy for moral and psychological transformation.

| 5. |  | The Bhagavad-Gita : Krishna's Counsel in Time of War (Bantam Classics) from Bantam Classics Price: $5.95 Customer Review: The Bhagavad-Gita is a popular text in the Hindu culture, mainly consisting of a dialouge between Krishna the Hindu God, and Arjuna, a Lord born into a never ending war. This text is much like the west's bible, not to be read as a page turner; rather a sacred book for inspiration as a living... |

| 6. |  | The Classical World: An Epic History from Homer to Hadrian from Basic Books Price: $14.78 Customer Review: The title of this book is a perfect description of its contents: "The Classical World". If you are looking for tactics used by a specific Roman general, or dates of Alexander the Great's battles, you will not find them here. Instead, author Robin Lane Fox takes us on a tour (or rather, tours) of the... |

| 7. |  | The Analects of Confucius (Translations from the Asian Classics) from Columbia University Press Price: $16.25 Customer Review: Another reviewer quoted the famous passage, "The Master said, The gentleman is not a utensil" as a highlight of this translation. Well, it only highlights that the translation is not as accurate as it should be. In the original text, the negative before qi, "utensil," is bu, which negates verbs, not... |

| 8. |  | Four Texts on Socrates: Plato's Euthyphro, Apology, and Crito and Aristophanes' Clouds from Cornell University Press Price: $8.95 Customer Review: Having compared this translation with 4 or 5 other translations and with the Greek, I was most pleased with the Plato and less pleased with the Aristophanes. The Plato texts are accurate and readable, and the prose is even and flowing. They portray the final conversations with Socrates before... |

| 9. |  | The Odyssey from Penguin Classics Price: $11.05 Customer Review:  The kindle edition is linked to the Fagles translation, but that is not what you will get. The Pope translation is what you will get for kindle -- not at all the same thing! Patricia |
