West of Kabul, East of New York
An Afghan American Story
Tamim Ansary
Picador
"In the weeks after September 11 . . . Tamim Ansary delivered us from text into context, from crisis into history, from isolation into geography, from a world shattered to one that, having lived through millennia of shatterings, stays mournfully round, and around . . . Mr. Ansary, a California writer and editor, has put this and much else into
West of Kabul, East of New York

American Islam
The Struggle for the Soul of a Religion
Paul M. Barrett
Picador
"Few communities are simultaneously as important and as poorly understood as the Muslims of the United States. Eye-opening, penetrating, and unfailingly honest,
American Islam
brings us deep into the lives of influential doers and thinkers across the spectrum of Muslim diversity. Paul Barrett's intelligence and keen eye for detail make the book a pleasure to read; his admirable balance in writing about controversial figures makes it a major contribution to the continuing debate about the future of Islam in the United States."—

The Yoga Sutras of Patañjali
A New Edition, Translation, and Commentary
Edwin F. Bryant
North Point Press
“A superb contribution to the secondary literature on
yoga
. Critically grounded in the scholarship on
yoga
and the rich textual history of the tradition, Bryant nevertheless succeeds in transcending both the excessively technical approaches to
yoga
scholarship as well as much of the popular nonsense about
yoga
in the proliferating ‘schools’ in the New Age marketplace. Bryant impressively communicates the essentials of
yoga
philosophy and practice to the thoughtful but non-specialist general reader. His translations from the Sanskrit are precise and well-grounded, and his interpretations are provocative and persuasive. His book will surely be welcomed by both serious scholars and responsible practitioners.”—

Emotional Awareness
Overcoming the Obstacles to Psychological Balance
His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Paul Ekman
Holt Paperbacks
“
Emotional Awareness
—which takes the form of an extended conversation between high-caliber subject experts Paul Ekman and the Dalai Lama—offers a fresh, unique exploration of many subtle issues raised by the intersection of these disciplines. The conversation format works well here because it allows the reader to witness a personal relationship develop between two ‘scientists of the mind’ as they gently probe each other’s system of thought with striking intellectual rigor. Both have dedicated their lives to reducing psychological suffering and now, in the autumn of their careers, seem to enjoy the opportunity to refine their views through dialogue. (The two first met in 2000 through the Mind and Life Institute, which brings together the Dalai Lama and researchers to discuss scientific topics.) Full of intelligence, unexpected humor, and tender surprises,
Emotional Awareness
clarifies for the layman what the big deal is about psychology and Buddhism.”—

The Life You Save May Be Your Own
An American Pilgrimage
Paul Elie
Farrar, Straus and Giroux Paperbacks
Winner of the Christopher Award
"An ingeniously woven literary tapestry that tells the stories of four great American Catholic writers of the 20th century—[Walker] Percy, Flannery O'Connor, Thomas Merton, and Dorothy Day . . . In Elie's deeply moving study, imperfection is both the starting point of spiritual journeys and the stuff of which wisdom literature is made. [Elie] uses the four authors' lives and work—their pilgrimages, as he says—to explore 'a larger story of the convergence of literature and religion in the 20th century' and to learn from their complicated struggles toward God in a country that is at the same time abnormally religious and unusually devoted to Mammon . . . Inspiring and deeply intelligent."—

Walker & Company
"Grayling has risen to controversial eminence as a public intellectual. This book . . . continues his humanist explorations with his creation of an entire scripture for atheists and agnostics. Grayling's "Genesis" has Isaac Newton's apple, rather than Eve's; the wars of Persia against Greece take the place of the rise of Davidic Israel; the lives of Lycurgus, Pericles, and Cicero stand for the wanderings of Jesus's disciples."—
