Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Sasaki Sokei-an founded his First Zen Institute of North America in 1930 he suggested that bringing Zen Buddhism to America was like "holding a lotus against a rock and waiting for it to set down roots." Today, Buddhism is part of the cultural and religious mainstream. Flowers on the Rock examines the dramatic growth of Buddhism in Canada and questions some of the underlying assumptions about how this tradition has changed in the West. Using historical, ethnographic, and biographical approaches, contributors illuminate local expressions of Buddhism found throughout Canada and relate the growth of Buddhism in Canada to global networks. A global perspective allows the volume to overcome the stereotype that Asia and the West are in opposition to each other and recognizes the continuities between Buddhist movements in Asia and the West that are shaped by the same influences of modernity and globalization. Flowers on the Rock studies the fascinating and ingenious changes, inflections, and adaptations that Buddhists make when they set down roots in a local culture. It is essential reading for anyone interested in Buddhism, religious life in Canada, and the broader issues of multiculturalism and immigration. Contributors include Michihiro Ama (University of Alaska), D. Mitra Barua (University of Saskatchewan), Paul Crowe (Simon Fraser University), Melissa Anne-Marie Curley (University of Iowa), Mavis Fenn (University of Waterloo), Kory Goldberg (Champlain College), Sarah F. Haynes (Western Illinois University), Jackie Larm (University of Edinburgh), Paul McIvor (independent), James Placzek (University of British Columbia), and Angela Sumegi (Carleton University).

Book excerpt: Megan O'Malley Moller lost her mother to cancer at age sixteen. One of six siblings, she grew up in a strict Irish Catholic family in Ohio. In adulthood, she and her siblings all settled in different parts of the country. Each year, Megan and her sisters, Helen and Fiona, go on a girls' trip with their dear friend Suson Fuson. Known for her impeccable taste, Megan provides The Collection, an assortment of items from her wardrobe which all of the women share for the weekend. In the twenty-fifth year after their mother's death, the women visit her grave in Dubuque, Iowa. The purpose of the trip is to find emotional healing and closure after their many years of grief. Megan especially carries misplaced guilt and anger and her sisters insist that this trip is her chance to face her loss and embrace what is left of her own life.

Book excerpt: "Flowers of the Table Rocks" is a non-technical, comprehensive photographic guide to the flowers of this well-known geologic formation and popular hiking spot in Southwestern Oregon. Although it covers a limited geographic area, the book is likely to appeal to a wider audience because of its many color photographs. These photos include close-ups of microscopic flower parts virtually never seen in field guides. Because of the limited geographic area involved, it is possible for the amateur wildflower enthusiast, with the help of the simplified key, photos, and tables, to identify the more than 300 flowering plant species representing more than 50 plant families found on the Table Rocks. Grasses, rushes and sedges have not been included.Unlike most flower guides, the book is organized by plant family rather than flower color. Plant identification becomes a more rational undertaking when one becomes aware of the similarities between species of a given family. Knowledge of family characteristics also facilitates identification of flowers in areas beyond the Table Rocks. In addition, the book attempts to show how even the most complex flower conforms to the basic floral pattern of sepals, petals, stamens and pistil(s). To make scientific names less intimidating, the derivation or meaning of each species¿ scientific name is listed in table format. Plant status (endangered, threatened, noxious weed, etc), three tables, and a glossary are included.

Book excerpt: To flowers on the rock, it's not an easy place to grow. Same as love affairs with three people involved. It's breeding ground of jealousy, deceit and conspiracies. It suffers 4 moods in this anthology. First; MERRIMENT- when the two who know the secret have their chance to play. They fill their cups to brim, they know time they have is crucial and must be spent well. Second; is mood of LOVE - despite what appears odd and often considered the ugliness of the situation, there is a deep feeling and connection to each other's soul. They are connected in loveliness, likeness, admiration and cherished choice. This mood lasts, only till one of them has to leave. The one left behind then moves into third mood; REFLECTION. Searching why things aren't simple? What future holds. Mood is prolonged and difficult to shake, the fourth creeps in-DESPAIR!failures, losses, and unhappiness. Aiyeko-ooto paints unclear misery of the delicate arrangement. Where carefully managed and cultures, who can tell the outcomes.
