Hinduism is arguably the world's oldest religion. Yet the word 'Hindu' is of foreign 18th-century origin. Although defined as polytheistic, Gandhi famously declared that one can be a Hindu without believing in any god. Introducing Hinduism examines the key philosophical, literary, mythological and cultural traditions of this diverse faith. It explores links with and differences from other religions, and describes the resurgence of Hindu extremism, the phenomenon of Bollywood and the Hindu diaspora.

The orca is one of Earth's most intelligent animals. Remarkably sophisticated, they have languages and cultures and even long-term memories. Their capacity for echolocation is nothing short of a sixth sense. Despite their label as `killer whales' they are often benign and gentle, which makes the story of the captive-orca industry and the endangerment of their population around the world that much more tragic. In Of Orcas and Men, David Neiwert provides a compelling mix of cultural history, environmental reporting and scientific research on a majestic species. He explores the sometimes fraught relationship between this extraordinary animal and human beings, both in the wild and in captivity. David Neiwert's book is a triumph of reporting, observation and research, and a powerful tribute to one of the animal kingdom's most remarkable members.

Η σύγκριση της γαστρονομίας δύο μαγειρικών παραδόσεων που εκτείνονται στο βάθος του χρόνου και που αντιστοιχούν σε δύο από τους μακροβιότερους πολιτισμούς του κόσμου, εκείνους της Ελλάδας και της Κίνας, παρουσιάζει εξ ορισμού σημαντικό ενδιαφέρον. Τόσο στο επίπεδο της γευσιγνωσίας όσο και σ' αυτό της Ιστορίας του πολιτισμού. Στην περίπτωση της αρχαίας Ελλάδας, του Βυζαντίου και της αρχαίας Κίνας, η σχετική έρευνα επιφυλάσσει μια έκπληξη: τις βαθιές ομοιότητες τόσο στην αντίληψη όσο και στις γεύσεις και τις τεχνικές. Οι ομοιότητες αυτές δύσκολα μπορούν να εξηγηθούν ως σύμπτωση ή ως αλληλεπίδραση. Βέβαια, από την εποχή του Βυζαντίου και μετά οι επαφές ανάμεσα στους δύο λαούς πυ- κνώνουν - νωρίτερα οι επαφές τους ήταν μάλλον έμμεσες. Το ελληνικό φαγητό έχει αλλάξει πολύ από την Αρχαιότητα και το Βυζάντιο, αντίθετα η Κίνα φαίνεται να διαφυλάσσει πιο αυστηρά τις παραδόσεις της. Γι' αυτό θα μπορούσε να ισχυριστεί κανείς κάτι φαινομενικά παράδοξο που όμως είναι αλήθεια: αν θέλουμε να γευτούμε αρχαιοελληνικό φαγητό πρέπει να δοκιμάσουμε κινεζικό! Πιο συγκεκριμένα, όσον αφορά τη γεύση, σίγουρα το ξινόγλυκο είναι μια πανάρχαια κοινή συνήθεια. Αν και η κινεζική γαστρονομία έχει διατηρήσει αυτή τη διάσταση, στην ελληνική χρειάζεται λίγο περισσότερο ψάξιμο για ν’ ανακαλύψουμε χοιρινό με κυδώνια, κατσικάκι βραστό με μέλι, ψάρι σαβόρο με ξίδι και μέλι ή πετιμέζι, αρνάκι με κορόμηλα, γλυκιά κολοκυθόπιττα με αλμυρό τυρί και σταφίδες κ.ά. Προκειμένου να αναδείξουν την εκλεκτική συγγένεια των δύο γαστρονομικών παραδόσεων, οι συγγραφείς του τόμου, έπειτα από πολυετή έρευνα, συγκεντρώνουν εδώ παραπλήσιες ενδιαφέρουσες συνταγές μαγειρικής από τους δύο λαούς. Συνταγές με μικρές ή μεγαλύτερες αποκλίσεις ως προς στην παρασκευή τους, καθώς και μια σειρά ελληνικών συνταγών με κινεζική προσέγγιση.

Excerpt from Talks to Writers These chapters are reprinted from Lafcadio Hearn's "Interpretations of Literature," 1915 and from his "Life and Literature," 1917 - collections of the lectures he gave at the University of Tokyo between 1896 and 1902. Since the appearance of these lectures there has been a demand for separate groups of them in a form more available to the student. The present volume, therefore, brings together Hearn's remarks on the art of writing, in the hope that such an anthology of his principles and opinions may aid those who aspire in the literary craft. For the benefit of the reader who may make the acquaintance of Hearn's lectures for the first time in this volume, it should be said that he lectured very slowly, choosing simple words and constructions, in order that the foreign language might be as easy as possible for his Japanese students; and some of his students managed to take down many of his lectures word for word. From their notes - the only record we have of Lafcadio Hearn the teacher - these chapters are selected. No attempt has been made at what might be called a reconstruction of the text. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
