Offering his own interpretation of key texts, Steven Collins explains the idea in a new, accessible way - as a concept, as an image (metaphor), and as an element in the process of narrating both linear and cyclical time. Exploring nirvana from literary and philosophical perspectives, he argues that it has a specific role: to provide 'the sense of an ending' in both the systematic and the narrative thought of the Pali imaginaire. Translations from a number of texts, including some dealing with past and future Buddhas, enable the reader to access source material directly. This book will be essential reading for students of Buddhism, but will also have much to teach anyone concerned with Asia and its religions, or indeed anyone with an interest in the ideas of eternal life or timelessness. 606 $aNirvana 606 $aBuddhism$xDoctrines 615 0$aNirvana. 615 0$aBuddhism$xDoctrines. 676 $a294.3423 700 $aCollins$b Steven$f1951-$0162146 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459310103321 996 $aNirvana$91905639 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02886nam 22004933u 450 001 9910790610603321 005 20210106225338.0 010 $a0-19-937928-9 035 $a(CKB)2550000001138995 035 $a(EBL)1538391 035 $a(OCoLC)862612764 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1538391 035 $a(PPN)267838891 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000001138995 100 $a20140113d2013|||| u|| | 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 200 10$aBiology of Ticks Volume 2$b[electronic resource] 205 $a2nd ed. 210 $aOxford $cOxford University Press, USA$d2013 215 $a1 online resource (504 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-19-974406-8 311 $a1-306-07414-2 327 $aCover; Contents; Contributors; 1.

This second edition is a multi-authored work, featuring the research and analyses of renowned experts across the globe. Spanning two volumes, the book examines the systematics, biology, structure, ecological adaptations, evolution, genomics and the molecular processes that underpin the growth, development and survival of these important disease-transmitting parasites. Also discussed is the remarkable array of diseases transmitted (or caused) by ticks, as well as modern methods for their control.
