Awakening engages beginning students by discussing personal experience; employing a winning writing style; and approaching the subject from an historical perspective. Awakening is an excellent introduction to comparative Eastern philosophic and religious thought. Awakening provides an engaging historical overview of the major philosophical and spiritual traditions of India; China; and Japan. Patrick Bresnan ties the past to the present and shows the relationships that exist between Eastern and Western traditions.

Reads essentially like a masters thesis. Not recommended.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Good insight into Hmong life and historyBy S. M. RitcheyThis book gives an insider view of the Hmong people and helps you to understand how different generations of Hmong people differ in their culture. If you want to know anything about Hmong people; this is a good book to add to the readings. While this is only a snipet of information on the Hmong people; its a good book!
