The Nepalese Caitya: 1500 Years of Buddhist Votive Architecture in the Kathmandu Valley is a landmark study of the small yet spiritually powerful Buddhist monuments that shape the sacred landscape of Nepal. Spanning fifteen centuries of architectural and devotional practice, the book offers the first comprehensive exploration of caityas—votive shrines often referred to as stupas—within the Kathmandu Valley.

Through meticulous fieldwork, historical analysis, and rich visual documentation, the author traces the evolution of caitya design from early Licchavi-period forms to later medieval and early modern elaborations. The study examines their architectural typologies, inscriptions, patronage patterns, ritual functions, and symbolic meanings, revealing how these monuments served not only as religious offerings but also as markers of social identity, memory, and community devotion.

Set against the cultural and urban fabric of the Kathmandu Valley, the book highlights how caityas are integrated into courtyards, crossroads, monastic complexes, and pilgrimage routes. It demonstrates how Newar Buddhist communities sustained and transformed this architectural tradition across centuries of political change while maintaining deep continuity in religious practice.

Scholarly yet accessible, The Nepalese Caitya is an essential resource for students of Buddhist art and architecture, South Asian studies, religious history, and Himalayan culture. Richly illustrated and grounded in epigraphic and archaeological evidence, it remains a foundational reference for understanding the devotional architecture of Nepal and the enduring spiritual presence of the caitya in everyday life.

A Washington Post Best Book of the YearA Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the YearA New York Public Library Best Book of the YearA School Library Journal Best Book of the Year * Unique and remarkable. --Publishers Weekly, starred review * Each poem trembles under the weight of the story it tells... Martin Rising packs an emotional wallop and, in perfect homage, soars when read aloud. --Booklist, starred review In a rich embroidery of visions, musical cadence, and deep emotion, Andrea and Brian Pinkney convey the final months of Martin Luther King's life -- and of his assassination -- through metaphor, spirituality, and multilayers of meaning. Andrea's stunning poetic requiem, illustrated with Brian's lyrical and colorful artwork, brings a fresh perspective to Martin Luther King, the Gandhi-like, peace-loving activist whose dream of equality -- and whose courage to make it happen -- changed the course of American history. And even in his death, he continues to transform and inspire all of us who share his dream. Wonderful classroom plays of Martin Rising can be performed by using the Now Is the Time history and the 1968 timeline at the back of the book as narration -- and adding selected poems to tell the story!
