Nicholas Roerich - Travel, non-fiction

Another travel book written in the early part of the century by the Russian artist and spiritualist Nicholas Roerich, it doesn't, unfortunately, compare with Alexandra's David Neel's accounts of the area, but has some interesting moments. Roerich traveled Chinese Turkestan, Altai, Mongolia and Tibet, investigating the local customs and religions.

What aren't included, but are perhaps the key to his journey, are the beautiful paintings he created on the journey.

The Bible as it was

James L. Kegel - Religious Research
This research companion to the Hebrew Old Testament examines the various translations of that ancient text over the millennia to provide a fascinating look at what the biblical authors really could have been on about. Krugel is professor of Hebrew Literature at Harvard and at Bar Ilan in Israel so any conclusions drawn must take this context into account, however, it is nevertheless an extremely objective examination of how we got the Bible we have today. Highly recommended

Incomparable Cuban soul from Ry Cooder and Ibrahim Ferrer, Compay Segundo, Eliades Ochoa and Ruben Gonzalez. Truly inspriring, especially the touching Dos Gardenas and the sexy El Cuarto de Tula.
