(ENG) Lee Ooi Tan English | Aug 22, 2020 | ISBN: 9463726438 | 206 pages | PDF | 2 MB Buddhist Revitalization and Chinese Religions in Malaysia tells the story of how a minority community comes to grips with the challenges of modernity, history, globalization, and cultural assertion in an ever-changing Malaysia. It captures the religious connection, transformation, and tension within a complex traditional belief system in a multi-religious society. In particular, the book revolves around a discussion on the religious revitalization of Chinese Buddhism in modern Malaysia. This Buddhist revitalization movement is intertwined with various forces, such as colonialism, religious transnationalism, and global capitalism. Reformist Buddhists have helped to remake Malaysia's urban-dwelling Chinese community and have provided an exit option in the Malay and Muslim majority nation state. As Malaysia modernizes, there have been increasing efforts by certain segments of the country's ethnic Chinese Buddhist population to separate Buddhism from popular Chinese religions. Nevertheless, these reformist groups face counterforces from traditional Chinese religionists within the context of the cultural complexity of the Chinese belief system. ![]() Borrowed Words: A History of Loanwords in English by Philip Durkin English | April 1, 2014 | ISBN: 0199574995, 0198736495 | True EPUB | 512 pages | 19.6 MB The rich variety of the English vocabulary reflects the vast number of words it has taken from other languages.

For over a century, North American libraries have liaised between immigrant communities and mainstream society by providing important sociocultural and educational services. Yet, outreach efforts have largely adhered to "Americanizing" ideals that reinforce ethnocentric and fatalist attitudes particularly toward undocumented and/or underprivileged migrants, refugees and asylees. As immigration continues to dominate public consciousness and political debates, the library profession must interrogate presumptions of immigrant incompetence or inferiority; professional awe whereby librarians are uncritically positioned as rescue workers; along with inattention to the contributions of immigrants within the profession as well as U.S. and Canadian societies. Through reflective essays, original research, and critical analyses presented by a range of specialists and thought leaders, Borders and Belonging challenges readers to dismantle problematic paradigms. ![]() Jim Sullivan - Bent and Battered Wings, Volume 2: USAAF USAF Damaged Aircraft 1935-1957 Squadron/Signal Publications | 1989 | ISBN: 0897472195 | English | 66 pages | PDF | 4.48 MB Squadron/Signal Publications 6049 ![]() Jim Sullivan - Bent and Battered Wings: USN/USMC Damaged Aircraft 1943-1953 Squadron/Signal Publications | 1986 | ISBN: 0897471822 | English | 66 pages | PDF | 4.73 MB Squadron/Signal Publications 6043 ![]() Being You: A New Science of Consciousness by Anil Seth English | October 19, 2021 | ASIN: B08W2J9WWD, ISBN: 1524742872 | True AZW3 | 352 pages | 3.5 MB Anil Seth's quest to understand the biological basis of conscious experience is one of the most exciting contributions to twenty-first-century science. |
