with Civilizations: from Alexander the Great to Mother Teresa
a collection of essays by Gëzim Alpion and edited by Gaston
Roberge. Published by Meteor Books in association with St. Xavier's
College, Kolkata. 2007.

 Globalization
has brought an increased awareness of the interconnectedness of
cultures, while a historical awareness shows the hubris involved
in any presumption of a privileged centre. Dr. Gëzim Alpion
is the ideal companion in travels across and within cultures.
He brings a sensitive humanism and the eye of an acute scholar
to address diverse issues of cross-cultural understanding in divided
worlds. These essays will be necessary reading.'
