The Languages and Linguistics of Northern Asia
The Languages and Linguistics of Northern Asia: A Comprehensive Guide surveys the indigenous languages of Asia’s North Pacific Rim, Siberia, and adjacent portions of Inner Eurasia. It provides in-depth descriptions of every first-order family of this vast area, with special emphasis on family-internal subdivision and dialectal differentiation.

Changes in Sacred Texts and Traditions
This volume presents the work of the international, interdisciplinary research project Changes in Sacred Texts and Traditions (CSTT), whose members focused on cultural, ideological, and material changes in the period when the sacred traditions of the Hebrew Bible were created, transmitted, and transformed.

Elämä ja etymologia
Tämä kirja juhlistaa Janne Saarikiven 50-vuotissyntymäpäivää. Se sisältää kirjoituksia Jannen kollegoilta ja ystäviltä. Kirjoitusten yhteinen teema on uralilainen etymologia, joka on juhlakalun keskeisin tutkimusala. Juhlakirjan sisältämät tutkimukset kuvastavat hyvin päivänsankarin laajaa osaamista ja monipuolisia kiinnostuksenkohteita ja samalla osoittavat, miten monimuotoinen tutkimusala etymologia onkaan. Kirjoituksissa ovat edustettuna uralilaisen kielikunnan kaikki kielihaarat, ja käsiteltäviin aiheisiin kuuluu niin perintö- kuin lainasanojakin, äännehistorian ja etymologian suhdetta sekä nimistöntutkimusta. Lisäksi kirjassa on mukana kaksi elämäkerrallisempaa kirjoitusta, jotka kuvaavat Jannen elämää ja tutkijanuraa eri kannoilta.
