Reviews
This book provides the most comprehensive study of the early Buddhist material and visual culture of the Khorat Plateau in Northeast Thailand and Central Laos. The images depicted on sima stones are not only evidence for some of the earliest Buddhist lineages, but also reflections of the people and their lives in the region from the 7th to the 11th centuries., This book contributes to Southeast Asian surface archaeology, focusing on a region overlapping the modern boundaries of eastern Thailand and Laos, the Khorat Plateau, which was previously regarded as a peripheral zone between Mon-Dvaravati culture and Khmer stimulus from the south. . . Murphy's ability to fluently describe lowland, riverine, and hilly geographic settings of remote and unfamiliar terrain is impressive, no doubt a product of extensive fieldwork., "This book provides the most comprehensive study of the early Buddhist material and visual culture of the Khorat Plateau in Northeast Thailand and Central Laos. The images depicted on sima stones are not only evidence for some of the earliest Buddhist lineages, but also reflections of the people and their lives in the region from the 7th to the 11th centuries." - M.L. Pattaratorn Chirapravati, Visiting Professor, Nanyang Technological University "Guided by Murphy's confident leadership through the art and archaeology, this landmark book offers a clear and compelling examination of a pivotal but difficult-to-study period." - Erik Davis, Professor of Religious Studies, Macalester College, Stephen Murphy blends archaeological sensibilities and data with art historical material to explore how Buddhism reshaped the Khorat Plateau in the 7th to 11th centuries. This integrative study builds a new premodern history of the region, and charts directions for future archaeological and art historical study., Explore the Khorat Plateau of the 7th to 11th centuries, where new forms of Buddhist organisation and practice were imagined and radiated out from Thailand's Khorat Plateau. Guided by Murphy's confident leadership through the art and archaeology, this landmark book offers a clear and compelling examination of a pivotal but difficult-to-study period.

Synopsis
The Khorat Plateau is a landscape of some 155,000 square kilometres of what is now northeast Thailand and central Laos. Despite the rich evidence for the region's dynamism and development in the metal age, knowledge of subsequent first-millennium developments on the Khorat Plateau remains limited. The spread of Buddhism across the region has been overshadowed by the attention given the Dvaravati culture of the Chao Phraya Basin to its west and the Zhenla and later Angkor civilisations to its south and southeast. This important new book, built on extensive fieldwork and archaeological surveys, reveals the Khorat Plateau as having a distinctive Buddhist culture, including new forms of art and architecture, and a characteristic aesthetic. Moreover, by combining archaeological and art historical analysis with an historical ecology approach, Murphy traces the outlines of Buddhism's spread into the region, along its major river systems. He is able to read this history into and against the Khorat landscape, attending to the emergence of monumental architecture such as stupa and Buddha images carved into the rockfaces of hills and mountainsides, and the importance on the Khorat Plateau of the use of boundary markers, or sima. This book provides a new picture of the region in the first and early second millennia, adding to our understanding of the development of Buddhism in Southeast Asia, and offering a new basis for other regionally focused scholarship to thrive - from textual Buddhology to history to anthropology. It opens up new possibilities for understanding the early spread of Buddhism within different landscapes across Asia., The Khorat Plateau is a landscape of some 155,000 square kilometres of what is now northeast Thailand and central Laos.

However, when I saw that the seller had not shipped the book after more than 15 days had passed since my order I felt I must write to say that I had actually placed an order with the seller and inquire when it planned to send the book. The brusque reply was that a tracking number was available, but no number HAD been created until I pointed out that I had placed the order.Catland by Hughes, Kathryn, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US (#356798982438)
