For 25 years in Invercargill at the south end of New Zealand, Burt Munro (1899-1978) has been working on increasing the speed of his motorcycle, a 1920 Indian. He dreams of taking it to the Bonneville Salt Flats to see how fast it will go.

In recent years, globalization, multiculturalism, and Western interest in Eastern thought have contributed to the growth of cross-cultural psychology. Paradoxically, however, while spirituality plays such a major role in non-Western cultures, it tends to occupy only a minor area of cross-cultural research. Its roots in ancient philosophical texts such as the Bhagavad-Gita make Indian psychology not only an especially rich tradition and one deserving of close study, but also a template for how Western researchers can better understand indigenous spiritual perspectives.

Donal Skehan is back with the second part of series 2 of Kitchen Hero with the hugely popular presenter sharing his tips and tricks for thrifty cooking and cheap eating. But banish any thoughts of penny-pinching and making do with less than tasty fare. This brand new series is all about embracing home cooking at its very best and making inexpensive ingredients work harder for the money you spend on them, so that you can enjoy delicious food as part of your everyday diet."These programmes include episodes where I cook with my Granny, visit BLOOM in the Phoenix Park, learn how to keep chickens, and chat to my local butcher. There is a real emphasis on how to get the best value for money from the ingredients you use" says Donal who has also taken on a new role as a Junior Masterchef judge which airs on CBBC in the UK in November.

Kitchen Hero is a cookery programme for first time cooks, students, toast burners and take-away regulars, presented by 24-year-old Donal Skehan, emphasising the fun, social aspect of food and the satisfaction that comes from cooking for and eating with friends. Includes 13 episodes and a Christmas Special.
