The Dalai Lama's autobiography should leave no one in doubt of his humility and genuine compassion. Written without the slightest hint of pretence, the exiled leader of Tibet recounts his life, from the time he was whisked away from his home in 1939 at the age of four, to his escape from Tibet in 1959, to the winning of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989. The backdrop of the story is the 1950 Chinese invasion of Tibet. We learn in calm detail of imprisonment, torture, rape, famine, ecological disaster and genocide that in under four decades of Chinese rule have left a million-and-a-quarter Tibetans dead and the Tibetan natural and religious landscapes decimated. Yet the Dalai Lama's story is strangely one of hope. This man who prays for four hours a day harbours no ill will toward the Chinese and sees the potential for good everywhere he casts his gaze. Someday, he hopes, all of Tibet will be a zone of peace and the world's largest nature preserve. Such optimism is not naive, but a result of his daily studies in Buddhist philosophy and his doctrine of Universal Responsibility. Inspiring in every way, Freedom in Exile is both a historical document and a fable of deepest trust in humanity.

From the reviews:

“This short book thoroughly covers one possible theoretical and algorithmic answer to the conundrum of Web service selection by users: base your selection decision on the reputation of the offered Web services. … the book solely uses reputation, the ‘confidence in the ability of a specific subject to fulfill a certain task,’ as a proxy for trust … . The book is an academic monograph geared toward active researchers who are working directly within the trust or reputation management domains.” (Christoph F. Strnadl, ACM Computing Reviews, February, 2010)

"With the rise of neo-liberalism full employment as a policy ideal has been either heavily discounted or rejected. Nevertheless humane economists never accepted this. The present volume contains challenging and highly relevant chapters by young and older scholars on the issue and what to do about it in the new environment." - G. C. Harcourt, Emeritus Reader in the History of Economic Theory, University of Cambridge, UK

"For students interested in how labor markets operate in advanced market economies, the book offers much of interest, if it is read
with caution." - CHOICE
