1 comments about The Book of Saints.
- This book has beautiful photographs of stained glass depicting various saints. The stained glass is from different time periods, from medival to present day and the photographs of them are of excellent quality. Most of the stained glass is from Britian, France, Germany, and Ireland. The book goes through various saints, gives a summary of what we know about them, shows a window depicting the saint, and maybe talks a bit about the window itself. The book also deals with various events such as the Annuciation and All Saints Day, and will show stained glass depicting these events. The text is pretty concise, and very easy to read. My only big complaint this book is that it is too short, and even some major saints are missing. It would truly be a remarkable book if it was more exhaustive and if it went into more detail about the stained glass windows shown.

2 comments about Wisdom and Compassion: The Sacred Art of Tibet.
- I wish I had seen the exhibition of which this beautiful book is the catalogue. It must have been breathtaking. This is more than a catalogue, it is a reference book, beginning with an overview and four informative introductory essays. The Catalogue itself is divided into twelve specific areas/types of Tibetan Sacred Art. These cover not only the different representations of the Shakyamuni Buddha, Arhats, Boddhisattvas and others, but also the four Tibetan Buddhist Orders. The Illustations are very clear and many detailed illusrtrations and graphs help to explain the Thangaks and Mandalas. The text is very informative, and the book is also printed and bound well.... A truly wonderful gift.
- This is one book you can judge by it's cover. It is fabulous. The photos of Tibetan paintings and statuary are simply beautiful. In some cases, such as a Tibetan thangka painting of Shakyamuni buddha's life, the whole painting is shown first, then close-up shots of other parts of the painting are shown for a more detailed view. Scenes from the painting are then explained. Anyone who has tried to decipher the meaning in a thangka, knows that without the help of experts, it is nearly impossible to capture the true story. Marylin Rhie and Robert Thurman help unlock the mysteries in a book with stunning photography, history and artful explanations. If you are interested in Tibetan iconography, a collector, buddhist or an art student--BUY IT, you'll love it!
