In early 2021, a humble Tibetan monk met a young Swedish activist, marking a significant moment that captured global attention. The Dalai Lama, a symbol of peace and resilience, and Greta Thunberg, a passionate advocate for climate action, shared a vision: the urgent need to address the ecological threats facing our planet. Their contrasting backgrounds highlighted a shared commitment to inspire action against climate change. The Dalai Lama praised Greta for raising awareness about the need to protect our planet, emphasizing the importance of perseverance in the face of adversity.
Despite growing alarm over climate change, many feel paralyzed by fear or uncertainty. This book embarks on a journey of connection, hope, and purpose, drawing on the wisdom of both figures. It explores the Buddhist concept of interdependence, illustrating how even the most daunting aspects of climate change relate to our everyday lives. Recognizing that the climate crisis is a shared responsibility can empower individuals to act while maintaining their emotional and spiritual well-being.
Filled with insights from the Dalai Lama and Greta, along with practical approaches to climate activism and personal resilience, this work offers a path away from inaction. As Greta asserts, hope lies in the hands of the people, urging collective action to confront the existential crisis we face. The call to action is clear: it is up to each of us to make a differ

A masterful narrative of the Middle Ages, when religion became a weapon for kings all over the world. From the schism between Rome and Constantinople to the rise of the T’ang Dynasty, from the birth of Muhammad to the crowning of Charlemagne, this erudite book tells the fascinating, often violent story of kings, generals, and the peoples they ruled. In her earlier work, The History of the Ancient World, Susan Wise Bauer wrote of the rise of kingship based on might. But in the years between the fourth and the twelfth centuries, rulers had to find new justification for their power, and they turned to divine truth or grace to justify political and military action. Right thus replaces might as the engine of empire. Not just Christianity and Islam but the religions of the Persians and the Germans, and even Buddhism, are pressed into the service of the state. This phenomenon—stretching from the Americas all the way to Japan—changes religion, but it also changes the state. 4 illustrations; 46 maps.
These workbooks provide lessons, student worksheets, and teacher instructions for every day of writing instruction. Each covers one year of study. Used along with Writing with Ease, the workbooks complete the elementary-grade writing curriculum. Level Three is the third of a planned four-volume set to accompany Writing with Ease.
This is the first volume in a bold new series that tells the stories of all peoples, connecting historical events from Europe to the Middle East to the far coast of China, while still giving weight to the characteristics of each country. Susan Wise Bauer provides both sweeping scope and vivid attention to the individual lives that give flesh to abstract assertions about human history. Dozens of maps provide a clear geography of great events, while timelines give the reader an ongoing sense of the passage of years and cultural interconnection. This narrative history employs the methods of “history from beneath”—literature, epic traditions, private letters and accounts—to connect kings and leaders with the lives of those they ruled. The result is an engrossing tapestry of human behavior from which we may draw conclusions about the direction of world events and the causes behind them.
