The author was bothered by the seeming contradiction between received ancient history and biblical history. Christianity after all is a historical religion. He came across evidence that well-intended historians made unwanted assumptions. Yes, the events happened, and the rulers were real. But when and who? History, it turns out, is a tangled web of dates and dynasties. Is this reconstruction perfect? No. But it may just point in the right direction.

The book supplies the most exhaustive account, published so far, of the Dates and Dynasties of Kings and illustrious personages in ancient India. For the chronological evidence, the author has utilized the relevant portions of the Puranic Text which he has collated and authenticated from the manuscripts and printed editions and which he quotes in plenty in original as also in English translation. The account covers a long period of history, from the Patriarch Manu to Aiksvakavas, Visvamitras, Yadavas, Turvasas, Druhyus, Anavas, Pauravas etc. and concludes with Pradyotas, Mauryas, Sungas, Kanvas and Andhras. The study is documented with complete critical apparatus: Introduction, Charts, Indices and Tables. The Indices are arranged by verse and paragraph numbers, for the convenience of the reader, so that he may find with facility the reasoning behind a statement.

A guide to the over 150 families that ruled the Classical world, from the 10th century BC to the 8th century AD, from western Europe to central Asia. Ancient Dynasties is a unique study of the ruling families of the ancient world known to the Greeks and Romans. The book is in two parts. The first offers analysis and discussion of various features of the ruling dynasties (including the leading families of republican Rome). It examines patterns, similarities and contrasts, categorizes types of dynasty and explores common themes such as how they were founded and maintained, the role of women, and the various reasons for their decline. The second part is a catalog of all the dynasties (over 150 of them) known to have existed between approximately 1000 BC and AD 750 from the Atlantic Ocean to Baktria (roughly modern Afghanistan). It provides genealogical tables as well as information on where and when they held power. Altogether, Ancient Dynasties offers an invaluable reference to ancient history buffs interested in the families that wielded power in the Classical world.

A beautifully curated presentation of the Thousand Character Essay, a masterpiece of Chinese calligraphy that has served as the art form's classic manual for over 1,400 years. Sung to infants as a lullaby, used to teach reading and writing, and employed as library index codes, the Thousand Character Essay is China's most widely used and beloved calligraphy textbook. Composed by the literary giant Zhou Xingsi and handwritten by sixth-century Buddhist monk Zhiyong, this masterful work has endured for centuries as the standard guide for brush writing both in formal and cursive scripts. Delight in One Thousand Characters brings this sublime body of art-as-text to English-speaking readers through its translation and explanation by calligraphers and artists Kazuaki Tanahashi and Susan O'Leary. Preserving the renowned beauty of monk Zhiyong's only extant handwriting, the book visually depicts the traditional script through extensive imagery, including a full, one-hundred-strip edition of Zhiyong's calligraphy. All images also have corresponding commentary explaining the meaning of each character. Essays and appendices by Tanahashi and O'Leary detail the fascinating history, geographic range, and aesthetic nuance of the essay and of Zhiyong's rendering--essential material to be familiar with the history, thought, literature, and art of East Asian civilization. For calligraphers, Delight in One Thousand Characters can serve as an advanced primer for practicing both formal and cursive Chinese calligraphy.
