"The Kebra Nagast is a pivotal text in the Rastafarian tradition. Written in Ethiopia during the 14th century, this sacred tale tells the story of the relationship between the Biblical King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, as well as their son Menyelek who famously brought the Arc of the Covenant to Ethiopia. A key text for Ethiopian Christians, The Kebra Nagast is also a fundamental sacred work of the Rastafarian tradition. Edited by Gerald Hausman, The Kebra Nagast: The Lost Bible of Rastafarian Wisdom and Faith weaves the core passages of the Kebra Nagast together with stories and tale from Rastafarian traditions. This rich retelling is the latest title in the acclaimed Essential Wisdom Library series which brings sacred texts from all traditions to modern readers. The new edition of the book includes a foreword by Ziggy Marley, which explores the importance of the Kebra Nagast as a powerful text both in Rastafarian tradition and in a broader sense. A clean, fresh design and inside cover printing give this ancient text modern appeal. A work of incredible cultural significance, The Kebra Nagast is far more than simply a piece of literature, but rather it is a testament to enduring richness of Ethiopian tradition and culture."--Back cover

Published in 1986, Meditations with Animals was the first bestiary ever compiled from Native Americans showing the guiding roles animals have played in their spiritual history. These stories and poems contain the rites and rituals of a variety of tribes, depicting a world unified by the belief that the animal spirit dwells within each of us. With the power given him by the animals, man can transcend his earthly world and enter into a unique oneness with things seen and not seen by the senses. “In this collection of verse and story", says Thomas Berry in his introduction, "we are brought into the primordial community of the universe, the Earth, and all living things.”

Zajímá Vás, kde se vzala různá psí plemena? Rádi se začtete do různých mýtů a pověstí? Pak je tato kniha právě pro Vás. V 67 kapitolách (každá je věnována jednomu či více příbuzných plemen) se dočtete fakta i různá vyprávění. Zjistíte, jaké slavné osobnosti to které plemeno vlastnili a jak se dostali tito psi do Ameriky. To, že autoři pocházejí z Floridy, poznáte i na konci každé kapitoly, kde najdete Základní údaje. Informace o povaze a využití jsou samozřejmě stejné jako ty, které najdete ve standardech FCI. Horší to už je se vzhledem a hlavně se zbarvením některých plemen. To musíte brát trochu s rezervou. Přesto je tato ojedinělá publikace psí historie určitě pro kynology velmi zajímavá.
