 The
launching by Mrs. Bijaya Ray, of the book Satyajit Ray,
a collection of the articles by Gaston Roberge on Ray from 1970
to 2005. Mrs. Ray, now 90 y.o. could not go out and meet a group
of people, so, she launched the book at a private function at
her home on 11 September. Subsequently, the launching was made
public through a press conference held as St Xavier's College,
Kolkata on 20 September. Thus, Mrs Ray launched the book *in absentia.*

Encounters
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.'
John Holmwood, Professor of Sociology, University of Birmingham,

being a human in the new media environment and
Media Dancer: Who Sets the Tune? Both those books
were published by Gujarat Sahitya Prakash, Anand, India, in 2005
and 2008, respectively. While Media Dancer is a companion to Cyberbani,
The New Empires discusses the context in which media self-education
for liberation has to take place, the new empires.
