Americans have historically taken pride in their country's ability to benefit from the multiple talents and gifts other ethnic and cultural groups have had to offer. Unfortunately, that orientation has been tarnished because of the unbridled illegal entrance of immigrants, and the growing levels of the poorly educated among those of foreign birth. But a group of new Americans, the Asian Indians, demand our attention because they are distinctly different from most recent immigrant groups. This book provides the findings of pioneering research work about Asian Indians living in America. The author understands the internal pluralism of the Asian Indian community, and he introduces the reader to those Asian Indians who have become successful business people and professionals. The author presents invaluable data for understanding these "New Americans." He is one of the leading young scholars in the field of multicultural studies and Asian American education. New Americans is full of invaluable data for understanding the complex issues and possibilities of these new comers. Both the expert and the general reader will gain much from reading this insightful book.

<p>Does Yoga have a religious impact? Can Yoga be practiced for physical benefits alone? Is there such a thing as "Christian Yoga"? These are the type of questions that the author explores in Yoga: The Truth Behind the Posture. Dr. George Alexander, who grew up in India, understands the true purpose of Yoga as only an insider can. He examines how Yoga affects the mind, emotions, and physical body of all who follow this ancient practice. He also draws from personal experiences in India, England, and America to illustrate how Yoga is used to bridge the gap between Eastern and Western belief systems-two worldviews that are totally incompatible. This well-researched book explores the significance of mantras and the differences between Hindu and Biblical teachings on the nature of God and man, life and death, meditation, prayer, and morality. It also looks at the history of Yoga from its Hindu conception in India, 5,000 years ago, to its introduction in the West, its adaptation over the years to Western culture by Hindu "spiritual ambassadors," and its growing phenomenon in physical fitness.</p>
