Among all the experiences of the Buddha, his eye-to-eye encounter with a terrorist is perhaps the most relevant and vital for those of us caught in the binds of the early 21st century. Once upon a time in northern India, there lived a violent and fearsome outcaste called Angulimala (''necklace of fingers''). He terrorised towns and villages in order to try to gain control of the state, murdering people and adding their fingers to his gruesome necklace. The Buddha set out to meet Angulimala, and with the power of love and compassion he persuaded him to renounce violence and take responsibility for his past actions. Thus Angulimala was transformed. The Buddha and the Terrorist brings a message for our time about the importance of looking for the root causes of violence, and of finding peaceful means to end terror. This revised edition includes a new Prologue, ''Talking to Terrorists'', in which Satish Kumar discusses how we can best deal with the phenomenon of international terrorism. By telling the tale of the pitiless, blood-splattered Angulimala, activist Satish Kumar reminds us that when the Buddha deliberately and compassionately faced real fear, the fear in that real face evaporated.

Anarquía, una guía gráfica es uno de los trabajos más difundidos de Clifford Harper, en donde nos introduce en el seno del movimiento obrero, sus antecedentes remotos, las luchas proto-anarquistas, conduciéndose por sus orígenes y escisiones, así como en un recorrido por los principales hitos históricos en donde la causa de la clase trabajadora ha bregado. Las imágenes realizadas por su autor contextualizan y cristalizan muy bien cada una de estas secuencias y hechos, muchos de ellos silenciados, olvidados o simplemente negados por la propaganda ideológica al servicio de intereses de algún poder.Los retratos realizados por Harper, trabajador y artesano gráfico, logran plasmar la esencia de cada uno de los revolucionarios y revolucionarias, activistas reconocidos ampliamente entre la trama rojinegra del anarquismo, y que han formado parte de nuestra historia, es una de las más elocuentes formas de descripción sin palabra alguna. Cuando las penurias son las mismas en cada rincón del orbe no existe palabra que pueda graficar quizás aquellas convulsiones, por tanto, viene a ser la imagen, lenguaje universal y originario desde la antigüedad más remota, el medio para dejar una simiente o huella que permita reconocer tales procesos históricos de subversión, rebeldía y lucha de aquellos quienes han transitado en búsqueda de un mejor camino para la naturaleza humana.
