On December 26, 2004, giant tsunami waves destroyed communities around the Indian Ocean, from Indonesia to Kenya. Beyond the horrific death toll, this wall of water brought a telling reminder of the interconnectedness of the many countries on the ocean rim, and the insignificance of national boundaries. "A Hundred Horizons" takes us to these shores, in a brilliant reinterpretation of how culture developed and history was made at the height of the British raj.

一名充满争议的教派领袖在俄勒冈州的沙漠中建起乌托邦之城，他与当地居民的冲突演变为了全球性丑闻。

Between the mid-eighteenth and mid-nineteenth centuries, Qing rulers, officials, and scholars fused diverse, fragmented perceptions of foreign territory into one integrated worldview. In the same period, a single "foreign" policy emerged as an alternative to the many localized "frontier" policies hitherto pursued on the coast, in Xinjiang, and in Tibet. By unraveling Chinese, Manchu, and British sources to reveal the information networks used by the Qing empire to gather intelligence about its emerging rival, British India, this book explores China's altered understanding of its place in a global context. Far from being hobbled by a Sinocentric worldview, Qing China's officials and scholars paid close attention to foreign affairs. To meet the growing British threat, they adapted institutional practices and geopolitical assumptions to coordinate a response across their maritime and inland borderlands. In time, the new and more active response to Western imperialism built on this foundation reshaped not only China's diplomacy but also the internal relationship between Beijing and its frontiers.

From the opening sequence, in which mid-nineteenth-century Indian fishermen hear the possibility of redemption in an old woman's madness, "No Aging in India" captures the reader with its interplay of story and analysis. Drawing on more than a decade of ethnographic work, Lawrence Cohen links a detailed investigation of mind and body in old age in four neighborhoods of the Indian city of Varanasi (Banaras) with events and processes around India and around the world. This compelling exploration of senility - encompassing not only the aging body but also larger cultural anxieties - combines insights from medical anthropology, psychoanalysis, and postcolonial studies. Bridging literary genres as well as geographic spaces, Cohen responds to what he sees as the impoverishment of both North American and Indian gerontologies - the one mired in ambivalence toward demented old bodies, the other insistent on a dubious morality tale of modern families breaking up and abandoning their elderly. He shifts our attention irresistibly toward how old age comes to matter in the constitution of societies and their narratives of identity and history.

This collection of articles and review essays, including many hard to find pieces, comprises the most important and fundamental studies of Indian logic and linguistics ever undertaken.
Frits Staal is concerned with four basic questions: Are there universals of logic that transcend culture and time? Are there universals of language and linguistics? What is the nature of Indian logic? And what is the nature of Indian linguistics? By addressing these questions, Staal demonstrates that, contrary to the general assumption among Western philosophers, the classical philosophers of India were rationalists, attentive to arguments. They were in this respect unlike contemporary Western thinkers inspired by existentialism or hermeneutics, and like the ancient Chinese, Greeks, and many medieval European schoolmen, only--as Staal says--more so. "Universals" establishes that Asia's contributions are not only compatible with what has been produced in the West, but a necessary ingredient and an essential component of any future human science.

The Indian Ocean was global long before the Atlantic, and today the countries bordering the Bay of Bengal--India, Bangladesh, Burma, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Malaysia--are home to one in four people on Earth. "Crossing the Bay of Bengal" places this region at the heart of world history for the first time. Integrating human and environmental history, and mining a wealth of sources, Sunil Amrith gives a revelatory and stirring new account of the Bay and those who have inhabited it. For centuries the Bay of Bengal served as a maritime highway between India and China, and then as a battleground for European empires, all while being shaped by the monsoons and by human migration. Imperial powers in the nineteenth century, abetted by the force of capital and the power of steam, reconfigured the Bay in their quest for coffee, rice, and rubber. Millions of Indian migrants crossed the sea, bound by debt or spurred by drought, and filled with ambition. Booming port cities like Singapore and Penang became the most culturally diverse societies of their time. By the 1930s, however, economic, political, and environmental pressures began to erode the Bay's centuries-old patterns of interconnection. Today, rising waters leave the Bay of Bengal's shores especially vulnerable to climate change, at the same time that its location makes it central to struggles over Asia's future. Amrith's evocative and compelling narrative of the region's pasts offers insights critical to understanding and confronting the many challenges facing Asia in the decades ahead.

《印度佛教史(精)》為東京大學名譽教授平川彰 一九七四年的作品，平川教授的寫作風格極其翔實， 其本於東西方印度佛教研究成果。其論理分明，剖析層層深入。很大程度上恢復了印度佛教的歷史概貌， 令讀者耳目一新。
本书為初學者了解印度佛教的最佳入門書。

《梨惧吠陀》，印度雅利安人早期部落的诗歌集、印度传统文化的源头，不仅是印度雅利安人，而且也是印一欧语系各民族，乃至全人类保存至今最早的诗歌集。自古至今，中国学者对其全面而系统的研究几乎为空白。本书试对此部典籍作如下初步探析：以印度学研究为框架．概述其研究之学术史；论述其创编与汇编过程，并阐明其为吠陀文明之根基；辨识其中记载的众神；分析其显示人与自然现象之关系．及反映尘世习俗与探索宇宙起源的重要诗篇；描绘其产生时代的历史慨貌。

本书介绍了佛教对宇宙构造的幻想、对大千世界的描绘、对菩萨神通的刻画等。展现了佛教神话的重要母题、构成元素和哲理智慧。对了解印度神话的完整体系，研究印度宗教、哲学、文学、艺术灯文化形态，都具有较高的学术价值。

“乌尔都”（Urdu）一词出自突厥语，意为“军队、军营”。乌尔都语属于印欧语系的一支，是巴基斯坦伊斯兰共和国的国语，也是印度、孟加拉等南亚地区通行语言之一。
古代印度是一个故事大国，加之历史上受到外来文化与宗教的影响，流传于该国的神话故事、史诗和民间故事可谓琳琅满目。19世纪初，在当地精通乌尔都语的专家的精心编选下，一批流传广泛的民间故事被改编或翻译成乌尔都语版的故事集。《鹦鹉故事》、《僵尸鬼故事》、《嘉言集》等几乎在一夜之间纷纷问世，它们至今仍是南亚次大陆乌尔都语民间文学乃至世界民间文学宝库中的瑰宝。
“鹦鹉故事”改编自印度民间传说故事集《鹦鹉故事七十则》的梵文版本，由海德尔-波赫西•海德利于公元1801年编译而成。“僵尸鬼故事”则改编自“僵尸鬼故事二十五则”的梵文版本，由穆则赫尔•阿里乌拉于1803年编译。这两种故事经过编译和改写后与原梵文版的故事已经有了很大的变异。
“鹦鹉故事”和“僵尸鬼故事”通俗简洁，故事性强，并富有深刻的内涵，至今仍深受读者欢迎。在民间流传期间，人们抛弃不符合本地宗教习俗(如印度教)的东西，增添一些新的内容，使之更符合本民族、本地区读者的口味。

《罗怙世系》是印度古典梵语时期著名诗人迦梨陀娑（Kālidāsa，约四、五世纪）的作品，在印度被奉为古典梵语叙事诗的最高典范，至今仍是梵语学习的经典作品。
这部叙事诗共有十九章，取材于印度史诗和往世书中罗怙世系的传说。罗怙世系属于太阳族，祖先可以追溯到吠陀时代的甘蔗王。本书采用帝王谱系的形式，以罗摩故事为重点，描写罗摩在位前后的罗怙世系帝王传说。
本书提供了《罗怙世系》的汉译全文，在印度古典梵语诗歌汉译史上，尚属首次。还对全文提供逐字逐句的语法拆解。本书是梵语教学之中高阶梵语教材的首创之作。它与《梵语文学读本》（2010）、《梵语佛经读本》（2014）一起，形成梵汉对照读本系列，为国内梵语教学和研究、梵语人才培养共同构造了坚实的学科基础。
本书为国家社科基金特别委托项目“梵文研究及人才队伍建设”成果。

《故事海选》内容包括：神话传说、寓言故事、智慧故事、动物故事、爱情故事、鬼怪故事等，反映了古印度社会生活的方方面面。《故事海》按梵文直译就是“故事河流汇成的大海”，林林总总的故事从古至今不断流传，家喻户晓。五组智慧故事与一系列傻瓜故事相陪衬。由我国著名学者季羡林建议翻译，是具有极高学术价值和文献价值的梵语精品。

本书为梵文佛教经典，内容是佛陀释迦牟尼的传记。“神通游戏”是现存梵文本经名的意译，与其相应的古代汉译本名《普曜经》（西晋）、《方广大庄严经》（唐）。通过本书，可以了解佛陀故事的传衍变化以及佛教和婆罗门教的渊源关系。黄宝生先生的现代译文，通俗易懂，引人入胜。
