Over the last thirty-five years, Hippocrene Books has become one of America’s foremost publishers of foreign-language reference books and ethnic cookbooks. As a small publishing house in a marketplace dominated by conglomerates, Hippocrene has succeeded by continually reinventing its list while maintaining a strong international and ethnic orientation.

One of Hippocrene's growing series is the Dictionary & Phrasebook line, which features essential vocabulary and phrases for travelers in 75 languages. We are delighted that Hippocrene has donated 75 of its popular English-Arabic/Arabic-English dictionaries from this line to support the efforts of Darfur refugees to learn English. Dictionaries are an important component of the Wish List for our Chad/Darfur project, complementing the English language course material we are providing.

For your next travel or culinary adventure to another culture, please consider Hippocrene Books' publications. You can feel good doing business with a company that views its products as more than just a means to make profit. To view Hippocrene's selections, visit www.hippocrenebooks.com.
