You do find it as follows: The site opens with a picture of the kings sister, who passed away in January. Just below her picture is a short text in Thai. Click on that, and the web should open. In the left column of this Thai-language page you will find a picture of the book-cover. Click on that, and the page should open. Please let me know if still problems. Dear Holly High

Many thanks Dear Anders,

I followed that link but it seems to be just a general website for The Princess Maha Siridhorn Anthropology Centre – in which particular part of the site is the presentation located?

Many thanks

Jane is still around, and will turn 100 this year. There is equally interesting stuff on childbirth, a month of rest, and many other things (death, gender, the recycling of souls -- and, fascinatingly, the gender switching of souls from one life to the next) in Patricia Symonds' Calling in the Soul: Gender and the Cycle of Life in a Hmong Village (U Washington P, 2004). Maybe some of the Buddhist Tai /Thai can learn new things from people in the hills? This brings to mind a classic, Maternity and its Rituals in Bang Chan, by Jane Hanks (Cornell SEAP, 1963).
