Civil War officer, Reconstruction "carpetbagger," best-selling novelist, and relentless champion of equal rights--Albion Tourg�e battled his entire life for racial justice. Now, in this engaging biography, Mark Elliott offers an insightful portrait of a fearless lawyer, jurist, and writer, who fought for equality long after most Americans had abandoned the ideals of Reconstruction. Elliott provides a fascinating account of Tourg�e's life, from his childhood in the Western Reserve region of Ohio (then a hotbed of abolitionism), to his years as a North Carolina judge during Reconstruction, to his memorable role as lead plaintiff's counsel in the landmark Supreme Court case Plessy v. Ferguson. Tourg�e's brief coined the phrase that justice should be "color-blind," and his career was one long campaign to make good on that belief. A redoubtable lawyer and an accomplished jurist, Tourg�e's writings represent a mountain of dissent against the prevailing tide of racial oppression. A poignant and inspiring study in courage and conviction, Color-Blind Justice offers us an unforgettable portrayal of Albion Tourg�e and the principles to which he dedicated his life.

This new entry in the Longman Library of World Biography series offers an intimate and provocative account of the Manchu emperor Qianlong (1711-1799), one of the world’s great empire-builders, who helped build the foundation of the modern Chinese nation. During the 64 years of Qianlong’s rule, China’s population more than doubled, its territory increased by one-third, its cities flourished, and its manufactures – tea, silk, porcelain – were principal items of international commerce. Based on original Chinese and Manchu-language sources, and drawing on the latest scholarship, this is the biography of the man who, in presiding over imperial China’s last golden epoch, created the geographic and demographic framework of modern China. This accessible account describes the personal struggles and public drama surrounding one of the major political figures of the early modern age, with special consideration given to the emperor’s efforts to rise above ethnic divisions and to encompass the political and religious traditions of Han Chinese, Mongols, Tibetans, Turks, and other peoples of his realm. In addition to becoming familiar with one of the most remarkable figures in world history, readers will find that learning about Emperor Qianlong will add greatly to their appreciation of China’s place in the world of the eighteenth century and will deepen their understanding of China’s place in the world today.

"Biblical scholars and theologians approach the question of who Israels God is for Christians in this interdisciplinary collection of essays. Essays on both Testaments focus on figural exegesis, critical exegesis, and the value of diachronic understandings of the Old Testaments compositional history for the sake of a richer synchronic reading. Each contribution reflects upon the implkications of biblical theology and theological exegesis for interpretation of the Old and a New Testament bound together in a single scriptural legacy."--

Published to accompany the exhibition Buddha’s Word: The Life of Books in Tibet and Beyond, 28 May 2014 - 17 January 2015. The book charts the story of Tibetan Buddhist scriptures, as artefacts with distinctive social lives, as sacred objects and as Buddha’s relics, with their own potency and agency. It draws on research and collections from across the university of Cambridge, its Museums and the university Library and traces the multiple paths that books have taken as they have spread the words of Buddha, throughout Asia and across the world. The written words of Buddha’s teaching have undergone radical transformations as travelling texts: from manuscript to printing and from palm leaves to digital dharma.
