Famous Stories from Panchatantra
No full textI just wrote a few hours ago, a propos of Selected Stories from Panchatantra, that it was curious that the same publisher put out two Panchatantra books by the same author but different illustrators within about four years of each other. Then again, there is yet another Panchatantra book within this series pictured on the back cover of this book! And this is that book pictured on that back cover! It matches its series mate in format: 7 x 9¼. It has the same author, illustrator, and length of 120 pages. It offers 38 numbered fables. There is again a T of C on 3-4. Among many old friends, I have enjoyed reading Jackal Remains Jackal (13). A lioness brings up a jackal with her cubs but notices that the jackal hangs back while the cubs attack an elephant. The lioness tells the jackal what he is and tells him that her cubs will never tolerate the company of a coward. The talkative tortoise here flies with swans (58). The foolish monkeys blow on their non-fire with bamboo pipes (66). La Fontaine's cunning old cat judges between the squirrel and the mouse on 115-18. The curious monkey on 118 loses his tail in the split log. The cover proclaims Illustrated in Colour, and there are one or two larger-than-half-page colored illustrations for each of the stories. Most curious of them may be the detailed presentation of the bedbug and the mosquito on the fat king's bed (29). The most dramatic may be the crab's throttling of the crane in mid-air on 91.Retold by Rashmi Jaiswa

Selected Stories from Panchatantra
No full textIt is curious that the same publisher put out two Panchatantra books by the same author but different illustrators within about four years of each other. Then again, there is yet another Panchatantra book within this series pictured on the back cover of this book! This slightly smaller-format (7 x 9¼) paperback is like Alka's Panchatantra Stories, for which I guessed a date of 2001. It offers 31 numbered fables on 120 pages. There is a T of C on 3-4. This collection features standard Panchatantra stories. New to me is a story prominently pictured on the book's cover: Greed and the Strange Wheel (16) has four friends searching for wealth. The last of them, too greedy to want to share the others' wealth, encounters a man who like him had been searching for diamonds. This man has a wheel revolving around his bloody head. Finding this new searcher at last relieves him of his burden, and now the new victim must wait for another greedy searcher to come. Again here, GGE appears as a Panchatantra story (23), as does MSA (39), again with a washerman as protagonist. On 73, a weaver with a wish to be granted is prevailed upon by his wife to ask for two more hands; the villagers think he is some evil spirit and beat him to death. The second-to-last story involves an iron bar that is allegedly eaten by mice (111). The cover proclaims Illustrated in Colour, and there are one or two larger-than-half-page colored illustrations for each of the stories.Retold by Rashmi Jaiswa

Academic authorship: who, why and in what order?
No full textWe are frequently asked by our colleagues and students for advice on authorship for scientific articles. This short paper outlines some of the issues that we have experienced and the advice we usually provide. This editorial follows on from our work on submitting a paper1 and also on writing an academic paper for publication.2 We should like to start by noting that, in our view, there exist two separate, but related issues: (a) authorship and (b) order of authors. The issue of authorship centres on the notion of who can be an author, who should be an author and who definitely should not be an author, and this is partly discipline specific. The second issue, the order of authors, is usually dictated by the academic tradition from which the work comes. One can immediately envisage disagreements within a multi-disciplinary team of researchers where members of the team may have different approaches to authorship order
