Aged 24 years old when he left Tibet, Emme-La had never known a time when the Chinese had not ruled his homeland. Slotting his harrowing account into her own knowledge of recent Tibetan history, the author details the experience of mass murder and torture and the total, systematic destruction of a rich and honoured culture.

In this challenging collection of the Dalai Lama's wisdom, the religious leader reflects on suffering, happiness, love, and truth, and emphasises the need to transform the human mind if we are to find real fulfilment. His Holiness the Dalai Lama was born in 1935, and enthroned as the reincarnation of the thirteenth Dalai Lama in 1940. Following the suppression of the Tibetan national uprising in 1959, he escaped to India where he was given political asylum. At the heart of all the Dalai Lama's teaching is the plea for compassion and non-violence, the essential goodness of the human heart, and the need to live well and die well.

The book provides an overview and analysis of the witch trials in the Scottish Borders in the 17th century. The 17th century was a time of upheaval in Scottish and British history, with a civil war, the abolition of the monarchy, the plague and the reformation all influencing the social context at the time. This book explores the social, political, geographical, religious and legal structures that led to the increased amount of witch trials and executions in the Scottish Borders. As well as looking at specific trials the book also explores the role of women, both as accuser and as accused.
