About the author

Various is the correct author for any book with multiple unknown authors, and is acceptable for books with multiple known authors, especially if not all are known or the list is very long (over 50).

If an editor is known, however, Various is not necessary. List the name of the editor as the primary author (with role "editor"). Contributing authors' names follow it.

Note: WorldCat is an excellent resource for finding author information and contents of anthologies.

Reviews

[Giestas · Rating 4 out of 5]

“Yet those who attend on the indefinable, imperishable
unmanifest, ubiquitous and inconceivable, unchanging,
unmoving, embedded,
Who, controlling all their senses, are equably minded in
all circumstances, and take pleasure in the welfare of all
creatures, they too attain to me.”

[Marlaine Legault · Rating 4 out of 5]

The Bhagavad Gita is the best known and most widely read Hindu religious text in the western world. This translation is great for non-speciallist or first time reader like me. The introduction and notes are the best as they help you understand the cultural and historical context of the story. I really appreciate it as a self help book. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Happy reading!

Offensive to the non-religiously inclined, generally encouraging a slave mentality; The introduction is valuable for the explanations and insights when navigating this text. Not a total write off as there is some wisdom here.

[George Cole · Rating 5 out of 5]

The best book I am aware of, unless, of course, that would be the Tao Te Ching or the Dhammapada.
