LESLEY DOWNER'S MINDFUL KITCHEN

RRP: £20.00 ISBN: 978-1-911130-31-4 Hardback PLC 241 x 190 mm, 192 pages

The Zen of Japanese Vegetarian Cooking Step inside Lesley Downer’s mindful kitchen where a healthy and happy mind, body and spirit is always on the menu. Lesley Downer is a highprofile author on Japan, a renowned cook and a lifelong vegetarian, who combines her knowledge of Japanese cuisine and Zen Buddhism in this beautiful new cookbook.

Some of my favourite fare is all about simplicity: plain, simple, earthy dishes. We start with the basic Zen meal: rice, pickles and miso soup. These are also the dishes that end every Japanese meal. Rice is life itself, and it must be respected. I learnt always to clean out my rice bowl, not to waste a single grain. Rice is the foundation stone of Japanese cooking. It is the source. The trainee chef begins by spending a year or two just helping out, cleaning and absorbing the master’s spirit. Then he learns how to cook rice, and it’s only when he can make it perfectly that he’s allowed to move on. Many key ingredients are made from rice: mirin, rice vinegar, sake, mochi rice cakes. Pickled vegetables are always served alongside rice, their tangy flavour and crisp texture complementing its earthy softness. When I walked through northern Japan, following Basho’s Narrow Road, I often stayed with farmers. They prided themselves not on their homemade cake, but on their homemade pickles, and always brought out their tastiest creations for me to try. The third cornerstone dish is miso soup, which is made with another staple: dashi. This is the basic stock, made using kombu seaweed (kelp). The Japanese have gathered and enjoyed many varieties of seaweed for centuries. As we’re beginning to discover in the West, seaweed is not only tasty, but also full of goodness. It’s said to ensure glossy hair and

ZEN AND SOCKS A Year in Japan

ISBN: TBC Paperback with flaps 197 x 140mm, 192 pages Four-colour illustrations

The only way for a Westerner to know the real Japan is to become part of it. Kate T. Williamson did just that, spending a year experiencing the culture, studying sock design, and reflecting on her adopted home. She brings her keen observations to us in Zen and Socks, a dramatically different look at a delightfully different way of life. In stunning watercolours and piquant texts, she explains the terms used to order various amounts of tofu, electric rugs, and how to distinguish a maiko from a geisha. She observes sumo wrestlers as they use ATMs and the temple carpenters who spend each Sunday dancing to rockabilly. Zen and Socks is a colourful journey through the beauty, poetry, and quirkiness of modern Japan--a book not just to look at but to experience. • Considered, thoughtful text detailing the simple joys that bring Japanese culture to life • Beautiful watercolour images from the illustrator's own journals kept while living in Japan • Delightful gift package picking up on the Japan trend Author

Kate T. Williamson is a writer and illustrator who studied filmmaking at Harvard University. Her love of travel and interest in sock design, along with a postgraduate fellowship, took her to Kyoto. She lives in New York City.

The History of Secret Communication

The Story of Codes reveals the complexity and near unparalleled ingenuity of the codemakers’ craft. From their simplest beginnings to the remarkable, recent advances in quantum cryptography, codes and ciphers have challenged and intrigued people for millennia. In this book, you will learn the principles behind many different code systems, find out how they have affected history, and have the opportunity to solve several codes for yourself. • Reviews the world’s greatest unbroken codes and challenges the reader to break one

secret writing Polybius arranged the letters of the alphabet in a 5 x 5 grid (with i and j sharing a cell), and assigned numbers from 1 to 5 for each of the columns and rows.

Above: Could the enciphered messages of the scytale have led the Spartans to victory? Spartan Pausanias leads his army to defeat a Persian army twice its size.

Perhaps as far back as the seventh century BCE, the warlike Spartans were known to use a device known as a scytale to carry secret messages using a kind of transposition cipher. The Greek historian Plutarch described how it worked: ‘When the [rulers] send out an admiral or a general, they make two round pieces of wood exactly alike in length and thickness, so that each corresponds to the other in its dimensions, and keep one themselves, while they give the other to their envoy. These pieces of wood they call scytalae. Whenever, then, they wish to send some secret and important message, they make a scroll of parchment long and narrow, like a leather strap, and wind it round their scytale, leaving no vacant space thereon, but covering its surface all round with the parchment. After doing this, they write what they wish on the parchment, just as it lies wrapped about the scytale; and when they have written their message, they take the parchment off and send it, without the piece of wood, to the commander. He, when he has received it, cannot otherwise get any meaning out of it – since the letters have no connection, but are disarranged – unless he takes his own scytale and winds the strip of parchment about it.’

This allows each letter to be represented by two numbers. The letter c is 13, for example, while m is 32.

understanding the caesar shift

By the time Suetonius was writing about Julius Caesar, the secrets of his ciphers were well known. Anyone who wanted to decipher his letters and get at their meaning, Suetonius wrote, ‘must substitute the fourth letter of the alphabet, namely D, for A, and so with the others’. This type of cipher is known as a Caesar shift. According to Suetonius, Caesar kept his secrets hidden by shifting the letters just three places to the left. But the same principle applies if you shift the letters anywhere from one to 25 places. For letters further into the alphabet, if the shift moves them beyond Z, the alphabet ‘wraps around’ – so the letter y shifted three places becomes B. For example, if you wanted to write Caesar’s famous statement ‘veni, vidi, vici’ (I came, I saw, I conquered) using his cipher, the result would be YHQL, YLGL, YLFL.

He has had a lifelong interest in codes and lives close to Bletchley Park in Bedfordshire, where he is a regular visitor.

Unbroken code: the Phaistos Disc In the early days of July, 1908, a young Italian archaeologist by the name of Luigi Pernier was excavating the Minoan palace site of Phaistos, on the south coast of Crete. In the heat of the summer, Pernier was working on the main cell of an underground temple depository when he uncovered a remarkably intact chalk-encrusted terracotta disc, about 15 cm (6 inches) across and just over 1 cm 1 ⁄ inch) thick. ( 2 On both sides, the disc was covered with a total of 241 mysterious hieroglyphic stamps, spiralling from the outer rim into the centre. Among the 45 different glyphs – carved or engraved symbolic figures – several obviously represented every-day things, such as people, fish, insects, birds, a boat and so on. These symbols might be easily recognisable, but what they mean has baffled archaeologists and cryptologists alike in the century that has passed since the disc was found. A major problem is that no other relics bearing the same type of stamped writings have ever been found, leaving would-be decipherers with only 241 characters to work with. What makes this paucity all the more frustrating is that on the other side of Crete, at the site of the Minoan palace of Knossos,

archaeologists had discovered a hoard of hundreds of tablets written in ancient scripts known as Linear A and Linear B. While the earlier script, Linear A, remains undeciphered – and in fact is another of the holy grails of ancient scripts – Linear B, which dates from the fourteenth and thirteenth centuries BCE, was cracked in the 1950s when the English architect Michael Bentris discovered the tablets were written in a form of Greek. Sadly for those fascinated by the Phaistos Disc, many experts think it simply doesn’t contain enough script to allow a definitive decipherment. That hasn’t stopped scores of people taking a stab at it, however. Some amateur archaeologists suggest it may be a kind of prayer, others suggest it is a calendar and others still, a call to arms. There have even been proposals that it is an ancient board game or a geometric theorem. One man who has long been interested in the secrets of the Disc is Anthony Svoronos, a mathematician from Crete who now runs a website listing all the various proposed solutions. ‘The most important aspect of the Disc – in my opinion – is the technique used to create it,’ Svoronos explains. ‘The Disc is printed using multiple seals. The effort involved in the

Above: The two sides of the Phaistos Disc. The meaning of the markings, and even where it was made, remain disputed, and make it one of the most famous mysteries of archaeology and cryptology.

construction of those seals was important and as a result we should assume that they were used to produce many different documents. And yet the Disc is the unique document produced with this set of seals that has survived to our days.’ Another interesting point is that the signs stamped upon it are highly detailed and very clear, in contrast to the much more abstract shapes and signs of the Linear scripts. ‘Only wild speculations can be used to reconcile these characteristics,’ he says. ‘My favourite explanation is that the text on the Phaistos Disc is a question placed to an oracle, and that the ritual at this oracle required that the object inscribed with the question was destroyed during the process of divination.’ This theory might explain why, even though many texts were produced, all were destroyed.

‘Of course, this is a far fetched interpretation of the events that took place in Phaistos and resulted in the creation of this unique object,’ Svoronos admits, but he also notes that there are other pieces of evidence from the area that give it a certain credibility. On the island of Keros, for example, there is archaeological evidence of a cult predating the Phaistos Disc in which valuable ritual statues were deliberately smashed. And in the oracle of Dodoni, which is very old and possibly predates the Phaistos Disc, there are lead tablets that contain queries to the oracle. Perhaps this interpretation is the right one, or perhaps it isn’t. Either way, the world awaits a definitive explanation for this mysterious artifact.
