Dictionary of East Asian Buddhist Terms (DEABT)
Toyogakuen University, Japan
Supplied note:
"This is the first major re-publication of the dictionary in
almost a year, the main highlight of which is the addition of
approximately 600 new terms (going from 3600 to 4200), along with
hundreds of corrections and other improvements. [...]
The
dictionary is available in two kinds of encoding: Shift-JIS and
UCS-2 (Unicode). [...] The dictionary has two new indexes: a full
CJK index and a non-diacritical index of all terms. [...] As
usual, contributions from your own area of expertise are
enthusiastically sought, as it is our intention to eventually
turn this into a comprehensive resource for East Asian Buddhist
scholarship."

Kasetsart University, Bangkok, Thailand
Supplied note:
"The Irrawadi, Chao Phraya, Mekong and Red-River deltas are areas of
major importance in Souteast Asia: rice bowls with rapid agricultural
intensification and diversification, and similar problems of water
management (too much water in the rainy season, not enough in the dry
season); regions with high interaction between urban and rural
domains, agricultural and non-agricultural economic sectors (migration,
social and cultural change); growing environmental hazards (degradation
of water quality, destruction of coastal areas, pesticide over-use,
uncontrolled waste dumps, etc).
Those interested in issues related to [SE Aasian] deltas (history, natural
resource management, rural sociology, demography, economics,
agriculture, etc..) to visit [the site] at:"
