Veteran science writer Michael Balter skillfully weaves together many threads in this fascinating book about one of archaeology’s most legendary sites— Çatalhöyük. First excavated forty years ago, the site is justly revered by prehistorians, art historians, and New Age goddess worshippers alike for its spectacular finds dating almost 10,000 years ago. Archaeological maverick Ian Hodder, leader of the recent re-excavation at this Turkish mound, designated Balter as the project’s biographer. The result is a skillful telling of many stories about both past and present: of the inhabitants of Neolithic Çatalhöyük and the development of human creativity and ingenuity, as revealed in the recent excavation; of James Mellaart, the original excavator, whose troubles off the mound eventually overshadowed his incisive work at the site; of Hodder and his intense, brilliant crew who marveled and squabbled over the meaning of finds in dusty trenches while attempting to reintepret Mellaart’s work; and of the recent history of the theory and methods of archaeology itself. Part story of the human past, part soap opera of modern scholarly life, part textbook on the practice of modern archaeology, this book should appeal to general readers and archaeological students alike.

Utopia is a work of fiction and socio-political satire by Thomas More published in 1516 in Latin. The book is a frame narrative primarily depicting a fictional island society and its religious, social and political customs. Many aspects of More's description of Utopia are reminiscent of life in monasteries.

Dr. Bhupinder Singh IAS [Retd.] has devoted himself to social justice in the cause of tribals and marginalised sections of India, passionately evolving concepts and driving policies etc. during his entire career in the Indian Administrative Service and post-retirement, a total of nearly six decades. He brought energy, empathy, passion and scholarship to what he regarded not a job but life’s dedicated goal. He is widely recognised as a thought leader and authored three committees’ seminal reports. The first one on Jharkhand led to the formation of the new state. The Bodo Councils were born out of the report on Plains tribes of Assam. The tribal-customized Panchayat system in Scheduled Areas of nine States burgeoned based on the recommendations in the third report for the proposed law on extension of the provisions of the Constitution [73rd amendment] Act, 1992 to Scheduled Areas. Federal India was historically reconfigured. As a member of the second Commission on Scheduled Areas and Scheduled Tribes set up by the Government of India under Article 339(1), he played a key role in its activities and particularly in writing in major part its 2004 report. Post-retirement, he continues to tirelessly champion the cause in many ways. The Author felt the need to turn to fiction since any number of Central and State reports have produced disproportionately lower outcomes. He hopes that a work of sociological-fiction might spread interest among members of civil society, and create waves among millions of tribal friends all over the country through the messages of goddess Sene delivered, hopefully, in their own languages, to demand and secure their rights and entitlements democratically.

Timothy Morton argues that ecological awareness in the present Anthropocene era takes the form of a strange loop or Möbius strip, twisted to have only one side. Deckard travels this oedipal path in Blade Runner (1982) when he learns that he might be the enemy he has been ordered to pursue. Ecological awareness takes this shape because ecological phenomena have a loop form that is also fundamental to the structure of how things are. The logistics of agricultural society resulted in global warming and hardwired dangerous ideas about life-forms into the human mind. Dark ecology puts us in an uncanny position of radical self-knowledge, illuminating our place in the biosphere and our belonging to a species in a sense that is far less obvious than we like to think. Morton explores the logical foundations of the ecological crisis, which is suffused with the melancholy and negativity of coexistence yet evolving, as we explore its loop form, into something playful, anarchic, and comedic. His work is a skilled fusion of humanities and scientific scholarship, incorporating the theories and findings of philosophy, anthropology, literature, ecology, biology, and physics. Morton hopes to reestablish our ties to nonhuman beings and to help us rediscover the playfulness and joy that can brighten the dark, strange loop we traverse.
