Описание: Alexandra David-Neel was the first European woman to meet the Dalai Lama and to enter the Tibetan capital, Lhasa. In the 1920s she journeyed through Tibet which was then a closed and mysterious world. Recording her discoveries, many of them extraordinary feats of magic and mysticism, she describes the Buddhist monks who live naked in freezing temperatures, who can run for days at a time, how they use telepathy and can defy gravity, and the physic sports practised. Rarely out of print for nearly eighty years, this is a true classic of travel writing.
In Bioinsecurities Neel Ahuja argues that U.S. imperial expansion has been shaped by the attempts of health and military officials to control the interactions of humans, animals, viruses, and bacteria at the borders of U.S. influence, a phenomenon called the government of species. The book explores efforts to control the spread of Hansen's disease, venereal disease, polio, smallpox, and HIV through interventions linking the continental United States to Hawai'i, Panamá, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Congo, Iraq, and India in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Ahuja argues that racial fears of contagion helped to produce public optimism concerning state uses of pharmaceuticals, medical experimentation, military intervention, and incarceration to regulate the immune capacities of the body. In the process, the security state made the biological structures of human and animal populations into sites of struggle in the politics of empire, unleashing new patient activisms and forms of resistance to medical and military authority across the increasingly global sphere of U.S. influence.
