This is the first Tibetan-to-English verb resource to be published in more than thirty years. It is a verb dictionary containing extensive lexical information. Much more than a mere translation of existing works, this lexicon was compiled employing statistical techniques and data, and draws on sources spanning the 1,200 years of Tibet's classical literature and covering all major lineages. The lexicon contains over 1,700 root verb forms and phrasal verb subentries and incorporates a wide range of information not previously available in dictionary form. The individual entries are in Tibetan script and contain English meanings, Sanskrit equivalents, complete sentences drawn from the corpus of Tibetan classical literature, and related sentence structure information. An extensive introduction to contemporary linguistic theory as applied to Tibetan verbs presents the theoretical underpinnings of the lexicon.
"A much-needed new contribution to the general body of materials for the study of the Literary Tibetan language. Students, linguists, and translators will all find this detailed treatment of Tibetan verb usage, and particularly the lexicon itself, to be an invaluable resource for many years to come. Sophisticated work on the Tibetan language is long overdue and Hackett should be congratulated for this valuable offering."—Himalaya: The Journal of the Association of Nepal and Himalayan Studies

The exciting recent developments in our understanding of the history of the Indo-Iranian languages and their speakers are surveyed and assessed by a group of internationally renowned linguists and archaeologists. In the last few years the materials available for the study of the older Indo-Iranian languages have increased dramatically: there have been sensational discoveries of birch-bark scrolls bearing Buddhist texts in the Gandhari language of north-west India, and of leather documents in Bactrian, the ancient language of northern Afghanistan. Previously known data has been exploited in new ways using innovative techniques for compiling, manipulating and disseminating electronic text and digital images. And archaeological finds in India, Pakistan and Central Asia, including the 'Bactria-Margiana Archaeological Complex', have given rise to new hypotheses concerning the history and pre-history of the Indo-Iranian peoples. The volume also pays tribute to the pioneer work of the great philologist Sir Harold Bailey (1899-1996).

《蟹螺藏族:民族学田野调查及研究》是作者在四川省石棉县蟹螺藏族乡田野调查和研究的成果。蟹螺乡的藏族有两个支系：一支是自称“尔苏”（或鲁苏）的藏族，一支是自称“木雅”（或木涅）的藏族。他们都是藏族中人数较少的支系，保留着自身的母语，其语言所属虽为藏缅语族，但所属语支尚未确定。他们保存的传统文化在当前急剧变迁的时代下，正面临严峻的挑战。
对于石棉“尔苏”及“木雅”藏族，先前一直缺乏系统的田野资料，研究比较薄弱。《蟹螺藏族:民族学田野调查及研究》可谓第一部关于石棉藏族比较系统的民族志，也是第一部关于石棉藏族民族历史及民族文化研究的学术著作。

The vast expansion of Indian culture by Buddhists who penetrated through Bactria into the region of modern Kashghar, Yarkand, Khotan, Maralbashi, Kucha and Loulan has been disclosed by the results of expeditions sent out in the first decade of this century. Among the numerous documents was a considerable number written in Ancient Khotan, but in a dialect of the Sakas, or Indo-Scythians, who from the first century BC to the third century AD were dominant in North-western India. Volume I of Khotanese Texts was published in 1946, Volume II in 1954 and Volume III, which completed the publication of the longer texts in 1956. Volume IV containing the Saka Texts from the Hedin Collection appeared in 1961. The fifth volume completed the printing of the texts. When it was published in 1963, it contained a large number of fragments and other pieces published for the first time, as well as the Hoernle Collection, the Samguata-Sutra folios and the Karma Text.
