To celebrate decades of work done by thousands of scholars, historians, curators, professors, and various other experts, our imprint Mandala Publishing and The India Heritage Research Foundation presented the beautiful 11-volume international edition of the Encyclopedia of Hinduism to President Mukherjee today, June 23, 2014, with approximately 500 esteemed guests and dignitaries in attendance.

The guests included Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji; Nobel Peace Prize winner Dr. Pachauri; Raoul Goff, Mandala Publications CEO and Publisher; Vandana Shiva; Shri L.K. Advani, Member of Parliament (Lok Sabha); Dr. Karan Singh, Chairman, Auroville Foundation; Dr. R.K. Pachauri, Director General, TERI; and Father Anil Jose Tomas Couto, Archbishop of Delhi, among many others. 

During his speech, the President focused on the search for truth prevalent in Hinduism. In the search for truth, the Encyclopedia of Hinduism, the most comprehensive collection to date on this most ancient of religions and cultures, is sure to take its place as the definitive resource for both scholars and the general population.

Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji, founder/chairman of the India Heritage Research Foundation and of the Encyclopedia of Hinduism project, explains:

"The wisdom, truths, teachings, and insights of Indian and Hindu culture are not limited to or applicable to only Hindus or Indians. Rather they belong to the world and can deeply benefit the world. It is, therefore, our aim that the richness of this ancient yet timeless culture and heritage should be made available to the entire world, in a way that is authentic, academic, comprehensive and illuminating. However, of course, the teachings, truths, tenets and insights of Sanatan Dharma took birth in India. Therefore, to have the religious leaders of India present the Encyclopedia to the Honourable President is a beautiful and most-fitting symbol of the 'Unity in Diversity' which is our Mother India."

Fall 2014 Season Catalog

Dear Friends,

Insight Editions is excited to present our Fall 2014 season catalog.

It’s been a busy year for us, as we continue to challenge ourselves by creating even more books that explore music, film, photography, gaming, and more in innovative and visually stimulating ways. Never afraid to think outside the box, we are constantly striving to adapt and evolve with new technology, media, and the interests of our readers.

We are publishing some really spectacular photography books this fall. The Haight: Love, Rock, and Revolution is a treasure trove of never-before-seen photographs from San Francisco in the 1960s, including images of Jimi Hendrix, the Beatles, and Janis Joplin, captured by legendary rock photographer Jim Marshall. Similarly, Big Shots: Rock Legends and Hollywood Icons is a collection of the incredible photography of Guy Webster from the same era in Los Angeles, featuring icons like the Rolling Stones, Jack Nicholson, the Beach Boys, and more. Last but not least, Styling the Stars: Lost Treasures from the Twentieth Century Fox Archive is a stunning collection of behind-the-scenes hair, makeup, and wardrobe continuity photographs gathered from the Twentieth Century Fox archive, featuring more than 150 actors from more than 100 Fox classics, including Miracle on 34th Street and The Sound of Music.

We’re honored to announce we will publish expeditionary photographer Art Wolfe’s definitive opus, Earth Is My Witness, which spans forty years and presents the three subjects at the heart of his work—landscapes, wildlife, and cultures on the edge of extinction—in a single masterpiece.

We’re also pleased to announce lots of exciting new products in the comics and gaming world, including everything from The Art of Destiny, the definitive book on the most anticipated video game of the year, and Assassin’s Creed Unity: Abstergo Entertainment: New Employee Handbook to DC Comics: Super-Villains: The Complete Visual History and Marvel Vehicles: Owner’s Workshop Manual.
