This comprehensive dictionary offers clear definitions, with examples, for terms like Katuata, Makta, Tz'u, and many others that derive from non-Western traditions. Meanwhile, it provides a new perspective on more familiar terms by illustrating them with examples from a broad cultural spectrum.--[book jacket].
