The Dedalus Book of Estonian Literature offers a wide-ranging selection of fiction from the end of the nineteenth century until the present day, including work by Estonia's classic and most important contemporary authors.

Global and Local Art Histories explores what it means to have a global and local experience of art. The 15 essays published here suggest ways of interpreting works of art from a broad range of cultural perspectives, many of them transcultural. Here are voices contesting concepts of history and culture, evaluating and exploring global and local identities in a changing world. Because of the variety of different approaches and cultural perspectives that Global and Local Art Histories brings together, the book presents a unique opportunity to question what we mean by that dangerously globalising category: “the work of art” and “art history” exploring “g-local” approaches that challenge such falsely universalising rubrics.

Ausserdem findet in diesem Worterbuch sowohl das Vedische als auch das epische und klassische Sanskrit eine ausgewogene Berucksichtigung.Da das Sanskrit in wissenschaftlicher Umschrift gegeben wird, kann das Worterbuch auch von allgemein sprachwissenschaftlich Interessierten benutzt werden.
