Buddhism, the world's fourth-largest religion, boasts over 576 million followers globally. Its teachings stem from Guatama Buddha, who lived over 2,400 years ago in eastern India. Born into royalty, he became deeply concerned with the nature of suffering and dedicated years to exploring various religions and philosophies. His enlightenment led him to teach the path to true happiness, and Buddhism subsequently spread across Asia, with significant populations in China, Thailand, Japan, and Burma. This book explores the origins and history of Buddhism, highlighting its core beliefs, practices, and rituals. Part of the MAJOR WORLD RELIGIONS series, it covers six major faiths, representing over 75 percent of the global population. Each title delves into the beliefs, history, and practices of a specific religion, featuring color photos, an index, further reading lists, timelines, and contact information for related organizations. The series includes Key Icons designed to enhance understanding and engagement. "Words to Understand" at the chapter's start help build vocabulary, while sidebars provide additional context. Educational videos accessed via QR codes supplement the text, and text-dependent questions encourage deeper comprehension. Research projects at the chapter's end promote further exploration, and a glossary of key terms aids in understanding the terminology used throughout the series.

Mark Thomas is one of the UK's most effective and best-known political activists, as well as being a highly successful stand-up comedian. His show "The Mark Thomas Comedy Product" ran for six highly acclaimed series on Channel Four. Amazingly, this is his first book. As Used on the Famous Nelson Mandela is a deeply funny, deeply disturbing account of Mark's rampage through the arms trade. Under a fairly flimsy disguise and with the use of some worryingly poor accents, Mark managed to set himself up and begin trading as an arms exporter. His account of his encounters, adventures and discoveries provide a shockingly entertaining read. His aim throughout was to change the law. Embedded within the sharpness of his humour is the truth of an industry that causes conflict and poverty in developing countries. He talks to arms dealers, torture victims, manufacturers, interrogators and politicians, and moves through South Africa, Ireland, Saudi Arabia and Indonesia to the Serious Fraud Office. Mark Thomas exposes the laws and loopholes, complacency and greed that are used to make money through persecution, at the expense of the poorest people in the world

In 1986, 2,000 years after its founding as "Confluentes," Koblenz has a rich history marked by the Romans, followed by the Franks, and a long association with the Archbishopric of Trier lasting nearly 777 years. The city served as the capital of a French department for 20 years, a curious fact today. After becoming Prussian in 1815, Koblenz eventually became the capital of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, a title it relinquished to Mainz in 1950. The devastation of 1944 is evident in the modern interiors of many historical buildings that shape the city’s character. With a population of almost 113,000, plus 11,000 soldiers, Koblenz is a charming small city situated at the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle rivers, less burdened by industry and more focused on services and the tertiary sector of the economy. In short, it is a city well-suited for living and a delightful place to visit.
