Editor
Introduction of Cam Rivers Publishing
The aim of the Cam Rivers Publishing is to help authors to publish books which are serious, yet accessible, in all the arts and humanities. It publishes books which lie between strictly academic books with all the academic paraphernalia, and ‘trade’ books of a non-academic kind. It also aims to make western ideas better known in East Asia, and vice versa. It is thus part of an effort to create a bridge of understanding between the civilizations at the opposite ends of Eurasia through sharing ideas and imaginative experiences. We publish in a range of areas including art, religion, psychology, economy, literature, history, anthropology and music. The company also acts as a mediator for cross-cultural projects and educational programmes between Asia and the U.K.
