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, UK
