Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Body to soil.Soil to root.Root to fruit.Fruit to the living.Eight thousand years ago, in a small farming valley, the dead are buried beneath the orchard so they may feed the land that feeds the living.It has always been this way.But when the figs of the sacred grove begin turning to dust, a young farmer named Tareh discovers something impossible beneath the trees: bones that do not belong to her people.Strangers were buried there centuries before the village ever existed.Unreturned. Unfinished.As the soil begins to fail and the crops wither, the village must confront a buried past and decide whether the dead of an ancient battle deserve the same rites as their own ancestors.If the land remembers every death placed within it, then the future of the valley may depend on returning the forgotten dead to the earth.Set in the Neolithic world long before written history, Bone Orchard is a quiet historical novella about burial rites, agriculture, and the ancient belief that the dead become part of the land itself.Part archaeology, part myth, the story explores how early humans may have understood death, landscape, and the fragile balance between the living and the soil that sustains them.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Modern societies often believe they have left cosmology behind. Myth, religion, and sacred explanations of the universe are thought to belong to the past, replaced by science, rational institutions, and technological knowledge. Yet the modern world continues to construct explanations of reality on a vast scale.Scientific institutions investigate the origin and structure of the universe. Archives preserve immense bodies of knowledge. Classification systems organize the diversity of natural and social life. Media institutions interpret events and circulate narratives that shape collective understanding. Economic systems model the future through growth forecasts and systemic analysis. Religious traditions continue to situate human life within moral and metaphysical frameworks.Taken together, these institutions produce something remarkably similar to earlier cosmologies: a structured interpretation of reality and humanity's place within it.In Cosmology of the Moderns, Richard Vandaal argues that modern societies have not escaped cosmology. Instead, cosmology has migrated into the institutions that organize knowledge, communication, religion, and capital.The result is not a single worldview but a plural cosmological environment in which different institutional systems generate overlapping ontologies.Drawing on sociology, philosophy, media theory, and political economy, this book explores how modern societies construct their cosmos through the interaction of scientific knowledge, institutional authority, economic systems, and cultural interpretation.Cosmology did not disappear with modernity.It became institutional.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Seventy-four thousand years ago, a supervolcano erupted on the other side of the world. The sky above the Tibetan Plateau turned the wrong color. The stars blurred at their edges. The animals began to move.The Sky People read what the earth was telling them. They left.Descent is the first book in The Denisovans, a work of literary prehistoric fiction following a small band of Denisovans - the enigmatic ancient humans whose DNA survives today in the genomes of Melanesian and Aboriginal Australian peoples - as they descend from their highland homeland into an unknown world below the treeline. Their guide is a young woman named River-Born, who navigates not by instinct or bravado but by careful, patient reading of the land. Their most sacred possession is a hollow wooden vessel carrying an ember from the plateau fire they will never see again.This is not a story of conquest. It is a story of endurance - of what it means to carry a culture south when the sky that organized it has been left behind. The Denisovan identity of the characters is not cosmetic. It lives in the structure of the prose itself: in the silence that is the default, in the emotion rendered as behavior rather than thought, in the language of sky and river and fire that is the only vocabulary these people have for the things that matter most.Grounded in current paleogenomics and Pleistocene archaeology, and written in a prose register closer to literary fiction than adventure, Descent is the opening movement of a series that will span a thousand generations and end only when the last recognizable descendant of the Sky People looks up at the stars her ancestors named - and the words come to her as if from somewhere else entirely.
