This edition meets the need of GCSE and Standard Grade syllabuses, and also provides stimulating reading for anyone interested in reading about these faiths. The book is structured by topics, allowing a closer comparison than would be possible if they were dealt with separately. Each chapter is subdivided by religion, so that one religion can be followed from beginning to end. This is not just another book of 'exam facts' - the author is also concerned to present the internal faith of religious adherents. The author gathered information on a travelling scholarship in Asia, where he lived in ashrams, temples and monasteries in India, Sri Lanka, Hong Kong, and Japan.

The product of thorough reading of the printed sources and the recent professional literature Times Educational Supplement This highly readable and objective account of the sailing of the Spanish Armada takes the reader into the background behind the action and provides a detailed analysis of what precipitated the disaster for the Spanish fleet. Beginning with an exploration of the relations between the Spanish and English thrones, and the wider European situation, the book discusses the inevitable slide towards war. The chief charachters involved are assessed, as are contemporary ship designs and armament. The central part of the book is concerned with the story of the Armada itself: the journey towards England and the skirmishes in the Channel; the role of the individuals in the struggle; the fireships and the Battle of Gravelines; the problems of embarking the Duke of Parma's army; the terrible journey home of the Armada and the aftermath in England and Spain. Discoveries made by underwater archaeologists are also assessed. This is a vivid account of one of the most important events in England's naval history.
