 Huston Smith is Thomas J. Watson Professor of Religion and Distinguished Adjunct Professor of Philosophy, Emeritus, Syracuse University. For fifteen years, he was Professor of Philosophy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and for a decade before that he taught at Washington University in St. Louis. Most recently he has served as Visiting Professor of Religious Studies, University of California, Berkeley. Holder of twelve honorary degrees, Smith's fourteen books include The World's Religions, which has sold over 2.5 million copies, and Why Religion Matters, which won the Wilbur Award for the best book on religion published in 2001. In 1996, Bill Moyers devoted a 5-part PBS Special to his life and work. His film documentaries on Hinduism, Tibetan Buddhism, and Sufism have all won international awards, and The Journal of Ethnomusicology lauded his discovery of Tibetan multiphonic chanting as "an important landmark in the study of music." Says Bill Moyers, "America's religious landscape is changing before our eyes, and no one has done more to prepare us for the new religious reality than Huston Smith."
