Sinopse

Mekong River Traditions explores the intricate relationship between religious beliefs, historical events, and cultural heritage along Southeast Asia's Mekong River. Examining the enduring influence of religious traditions, particularly Theravada Buddhism, this work reveals how these beliefs are woven into the daily lives and social structures of Mekong Basin communities. The book highlights the syncretic nature of religious practices, demonstrating how indigenous beliefs blend with Buddhist philosophy.

 
The book traces the spread of Buddhism along the Mekong, from ancient trade routes to the establishment of early kingdoms. It examines specific religious practices in Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam, revealing the unique characteristics of Buddhism in each region. By incorporating historical texts, anthropological studies, and oral histories, the book adopts a balanced approach, avoiding simplistic portrayals of religious life.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the geographical and historical context, then moves to specific religious practices, and concludes by assessing the impact of globalization. It provides insights into cultural diversity, religious tolerance, and cultural heritage preservation. The book presents a holistic view of religious traditions found along the Mekong River.

    'Courting is a wonderfully empathic and inclusive book about love and community and all the different ways people can build a good life.'―Patrick Freyne
    Looking for love – the most human quest of them all – has been transformed in recent years, with new technology removing the need to be in 'the right place at the right time'. Dating has never been more convenient, varied or disposable and we Irish have taken to it with gusto ... and not just in cities.
    Courting: Tractor Dates, Macra Babies and Swiping Right in Rural Ireland tells a variety of honest and touching stories of trying to meet The One in a rural setting, where the ingredients for successful dating – choice, proximity, free time and, for some, alcohol and anonymity – aren't always guaranteed. Liadán Hynes travels from family farms to tiny islands, village pubs to remote communities, to sit down with childhood sweethearts, long-lost loves and singles, ever hopefuls and lonely hearts, as they navigate this quest through tractor dates, Macra, dating apps and more. They candidly describe swiping for love and moving for it, hooking up and settling down, all while inheriting a 24/7 farm job or coming out, returning to the home place or joining the pandemic exodus.
    Revealing the importance of community, diversity and, above all, hope and resilience, Courting is an insightful and unique window into dating in rural Ireland today.

    VOLUME 3 OF KAT WARD'S SENSATIONAL AUTOBIOGRAPHY! 
    in this much-anticipated third volume, Kat recounts her early-mid teen years. Still traumatised by her early experiences, she was however not entirely without that sense of hope that is the inalienable property of youth. 
    Now at Duncroft Approved School for “emotionally disturbed girls”, her life had come to resemble that of a prisoner; a good day was a bad one and a bad day was horrific. A pattern interrupted only by the periodic visits of a certain creepy old man in a shiny tracksuit, with a pocket full of a cigars and a caravan full of demands. 
    There were Rolls-Royce trips to London. There were jaunts to TV studios. And, of course, for Kat, as with most of the girls, there were dreams of a brighter future. But despite all the promises, there was simply no way out. For at almost every turn, another nefarious character was waiting to take advantage of the girls that no-one would believe anyway. 
    Now you can read her full story here. No punches pulled; no stone left unturned. Just the truth, committed to paper over many years, in the hope that it might help inspire the brave, enlighten the misled and heal the abused… 
    DISCLAIMER: This is a true story of child abuse. Reader discretion is advised.
