oldest continuously surviving civilization on earth. The twenty
five states of India are organized by regions into six chapters,
each with a distinctive map. This 9" by 12" publication
includes 224 pages, over 268 photographs, and seven maps, all beautifully

This
is mainly meant for foreigners, and others interested in knowing how
the Gujarati script works. It does not teach the language. For that
purpose, we recommend "A Programmed Text to Learn Gujarati".
This crash course is a very concise introduction, only about 20 pages
long, to the Gujarati script (in English), for those who are too busy
to learn by reading a big book, or by attending classes. One can learn
to write one's own name, and that of one's family members, in a matter
of couple of hours (this varies from student to student). |

OUR
GANDHI - Child of Fear to Man of Freedom
|
|
Author |
Mylo

|
Description
|
Eknath
Easwaran's Gandhi the Man retold for children by Mylo Schaff.
Children can readily grasp the concept of nonviolence through stories
from Mahatma Gandhi's life. Narratives of universal truths nourish
a child's imagination, strengthen character, and provide a fund of
powerful images that give guidance throughout life. Mylo Schaff, a
close friend of Eknath Easwaran's, retold Gandhi's story as presented
in Gandhi the Man to a group of kids at a Quaker First Day school
ranging in age from 6 to 14. Working together, the children then illustrated
each of the episodes. As you'll see, they made tangible, in dramatic
and colorful illustrations, such elusive concepts as changing fear
into fearlessness and enemies into friends. 36 pages, 16 full-color
illustrations, 12" x 9 1/4", Hardcover. |
