Whispers in the dark: Urban legends from around the globe
In every corner of the world, there are stories that go beyond mere folklore—tales of ghosts, monsters, and unexplainable forces that haunt the dark places and stretch the imagination. From Asia to Antarctica, urban legends have been passed down through generations, blending truth with fear to create mysteries that continue to intrigue and terrify. “Whispers in the dark: urban legends from around the globe” takes you on a spine-chilling journey across continents, exploring the myths and legends that have endured the test of time. Each chapter delves into a different tale, from the vengeful spirit of Japan's Kuchisake-onna to the haunting Min Min Lights of Australia, and the elusive Nin...
Reconsidering Cultural Heritage in East Asia
The concept of ‘cultural heritage’ has acquired increasing currency in culture, politics and societies in East Asia. However, in spite of a number of research projects in this field, our understanding of how the past and its material expressions have been perceived, conceptualised and experienced in this part of the world, and how these views affect contemporary local practices and notions of identity, particularly in a period of rapid economic development and increasing globalisation, is still very unclear. Preoccupation with cultural heritage - expressed in the rapid growth of national and private museums, the expansion of the antiquities’ market, revitalisation of local traditions, focus on ‘intangible cultural heritage’ and the development of cultural tourism - is something that directly or indirectly affects national policies and international relations. An investigation of how the concept of ‘cultural heritage’ has been and continues to be constructed in East Asia, drawing on several case studies taken from China, Japan and Korea, is thus timely and worthwhile.

The Book of Eels
Part H Is for Hawk, part The Soul of an Octopus, The Book of Eels is both a meditation on the world’s most elusive fish—the eel—and a reflection on the human condition Remarkably little is known about the European eel, Anguilla anguilla. So little, in fact, that scientists and philosophers have, for centuries, been obsessed with what has become known as the “eel question”: Where do eels come from? What are they? Are they fish or some other kind of creature altogether? Even today, in an age of advanced science, no one has ever seen eels mating or giving birth, and we still don’t understand what drives them, after living for decades in freshwater, to swim great distances back to th...
