A rich blend of history; legend; poetry; adventure; and romance; The Clear Mirror is a treasure-trove of traditional Tibetan narrative and folk wisdom. It presents in full the often-cited but elusive accounts of the origins of the Tibetan people; the coming of the Dharma to Tibet; and the appearance of Avalokiteshvara as the patron deity of Tibet. The text treats the era during which Buddhism came to Tibet; Lhasa became the capital; and the Jokhang and Ramoche temples were founded. Written to inform and entertain; the book has a pre-eminent position in Tibetan society.

Superb scholarship on a tragic period of Lviv's historyBy RSComprehensive and balanced account of a tragic and turbulent period of history it provides details and context for the Lviv region that is beyond the scope of Tim Synder's excellent book Bloodlands. I highly recommend the book to anyone interested in the history of Galacia..
