Dunhuang studies refer to a discipline focusing on Dunhuang Manuscripts, Dunhuang grotto art, the theory of Dunhuang studies, and Dunhuang history and geography. It is a broad subject of studying, excavating, sorting, and protecting the cultural relics and documents in the Dunhuang area of China. The General Theory of Dunhuang Studies explores the basic concept of Dunhuang studies. It presents a more comprehensive and systematic study of six aspects of Dunhuang, covering the background of Dunhuang studies in orientalism, the history of Dunhuang, Dunhuang grotto art, the scattering of Dunhuang cultural relics, Dunhuang manuscripts, and the history of Dunhuang studies, and discussing and summarizing the relevant national and international research. The General Theory of Dunhuang Studies has extensively absorbed the research achievements of domestic and foreign academic circles and the author's decades of academic research experience. As a comprehensive and systematic academic monograph with both academic depth and extensive readability, the book provides descriptions, theory and objective comments written in a clear and straightforward style; the book is intended for professional scholars, graduates and general readers.

Peter Rowe and Yun Fu’s second volume on the modernization of architecture in the Far East deals with Southeast Asia and Austronesia, including the 12 nation states of Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Brunei, East Timor, Philippines and Taiwan, as well as the ocean peoples of Polynesia, Melanesia and Micronesia. The modern architecture of these culturally and nationally heterogenous regions echoes local vernacular traditions and colonial as well as postcolonial hegemonies from both the East and the West. The book tells the stories of these separate roots and their culmination into contemporary architectural production, analyzing the distinctiveness and quality of approx. 65 building projects that have emerged in the past half century.

"Due to their proximity, the interactions between Greece and the Near East were regular throughout antiquity, but the period of the 8th/7th centuries BCE is generally called the "Orientalizing Age" (from the Greek perspective) because of the marked influence that the Near East had on Greek thought, myth, and art during this time. Many of the mythological monsters we today think of as Greek had their origins to the east, including the griffin, a hybrid creature usually composed of the body, tail, and rear legs of a lion and the head, wings, and sometimes talons of an eagle. During this period, griffins were frequently included as protomes on Greek cauldrons, that is, an adornment featuring the head of a creature along the rim of the huge vessel. These griffin cauldrons have been discovered over much of the Mediterranean region, from Cyprus to Burgundy and the Loire valley of France, especially in sanctuaries of all sizes and elite tombs. Papalexandrou explores the 7th century as a time of wonder and radical innovation in the material and visual cultures of the Mediterranean with the griffin cauldrons as his case study, examining the possible reasons for their popularity, how and by whom they were used, their religious significance, and how they traveled across the region"--
