Nibir, this is a beautiful book!
I'm really happy to see that it's close to publication, and that so many of my
friends and colleagues (and a former student)have work represented on these
pages---Richard Hart, Michael Boylan, Amritjit Singh, Kathleen Alcala.
Congratulations on another work of international significance!
Three Deep Bows to You,
Chuck
Dear Nibir,
Charles Johnson just shared with me the blog announcing your forthcoming book,
Mirrors and Lamps: Global Perspectives. It looks terrific. I
know Chuck’s piece well, of course, and it is a superb essay. You are
doing very important work. Many thanks.
Yours,
Marc C. Conner
