The Scientific Buddha was sent into battle against Christian missionaries, who were proclaiming across Asia that Buddhism was a form of superstition. He proved the missionaries wrong, teaching a dharma that was in harmony with modern science. And his influence continues. Today his teaching of "mindfulness" is heralded as the cure for all manner of maladies, from depression to high blood pressure. In this potent critique, a well-known chronicler of the West's encounter with Buddhism demonstrates how the Scientific Buddha's teachings deviate in crucial ways from those of the far older Buddha of ancient India. Donald Lopez shows that the Western focus on the Scientific Buddha threatens to bleach Buddhism of its vibrancy, complexity, and power, even as the superficial focus on "mindfulness" turns Buddhism into merely the latest self-help movement. The Scientific Buddha has served his purpose, Lopez argues. It is now time for him to pass into nirvana. This is not to say, however, that the teachings of the ancient Buddha must be dismissed as mere cultural artifacts. They continue to present a potent challenge, even to our modern world. 410 0$aTerry lectures. 606 $aBuddhism and science 606 $aBuddhism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aBuddhism and science. 615 0$aBuddhism. 676 $a294.3/365 700 $aLopez$b Donald S.$f1952-$0647459 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462534903321 996 $aThe scientific Buddha$92456772 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04025nam 22006972 450 001 9910465286003321 005 20160512103530.0 010 $a1-139-01264-9 010 $a1-107-21666-4 010 $a1-283-05496-5 010 $a9786613054968 010 $a0-511-97419-1 010 $a1-139-01178-2 010 $a1-139-01204-5 010 $a1-139-01125-1 010 $a1-139-01098-0 010 $a1-139-01151-0 035 $a(CKB)2560000000071559 035 $a(EBL)667577 035 $a(OCoLC)710974648 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000483644 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11303505 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000483644 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10572887 035 $a(PQKB)11012326 035 $a(UkCbUP)CR9780511974199 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC667577 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL667577 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10460520 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL305496 035 $a(EXLCZ)992560000000071559 100 $a20101011d2011|||| uy| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aCrop ecology $eproductivity and management in agricultural systems /$fDavid J.

It is predicted that food production must increase by at least 70% before 2050 to support continued population growth, though the size of the world's agricultural area will remain essentially unchanged. This updated and thoroughly revised second edition provides in-depth coverage of the impact of environmental conditions and management on crops, resource requirements for productivity and effects on soil resources. The approach is explanatory and integrative, with a firm basis in environmental physics, soils, physiology and morphology. System concepts are explored in detail throughout the book, giving emphasis to quantitative approaches, management strategies and tactics employed by farmers, and associated environmental issues. Drawing on key examples and highlighting the role of science, technology and economic conditions in determining management strategies, this book is suitable for agriculturalists, ecologists and environmental scientists. 606 $aAgricultural ecology 606 $aAgricultural systems 615 0$aAgricultural ecology. 615 0$aAgricultural systems. 676 $a630.2/77 700 $aLoomis$b R.
