  When one thinks of the world’s first cities, Sumer, Memphis, and Babylon are some of the first to come to mind, but if the focus then shifts to India, then Harappa and Mohenjo-daro will likely come up. These cities owe their existence to India’s oldest civilization, known as the Indus Valley Civilization or the Harappan Civilization, which was contemporary with ancient Mesopotamia and ancient Egypt and had extensive contacts with the former, making it one of the most important early civilizations in the world. Spread out along the rivers of the Indus River Valley, hundreds of settlements began forming around 3300 BCE, eventually coalescing into a society that had all of the hallmarks of a true civilization, including writing, well-developed cities, a complex social structure, and long-distance trade. 
  Mohenjo-daro was the largest city of the Indus Valley Civilization, one of the most advanced civilizations to have ever existed, and the best-known and most ancient prehistoric urban site on the Indian subcontinent. It was a metropolis of great cultural, economic, and political importance that dates from the beginning of the 3rd millennium BCE. Although it primarily flourished between approximately 2500 and 1500 BCE, the city had longer lasting influences on the urbanization of the Indian subcontinent for centuries after its abandonment. It is believed to have been one of two capital cities of the Indus Civilization, its twin being Harappa located further north in Punjab, Pakistan. 
  Kalibangan was unknown to the modern world until archaeologists began uncovering its secrets in excavations during the 1960s. Although it followed some of the patterns of larger Indus cities such as Mohenjo-daro and Harappa, it was also a unique city in many ways. Kalibangan was located on a different river from the other major Indus Valley Civilization cities, and its river suffered a fate that led to the end of the city.

  »ACT 2 | DEBRISM« is the first release on Martin Hossbach’s newly-founded sub-label Martin Hossbach Word which will release readings and audio plays only. Scott King recorded »ACT 2 | DEBRISM« using his dictaphone in one afternoon at home.
  
  King writes:
  »On the afternoon of February 28th, during the long, locked-down winter of 2020/21, I sat at my desk and looked through the files on my laptop. I have hundreds of incomplete ‘projects’, thousands of ‘emails to self’ - ‘new idea for a novel, ‘new idea for a public sculpture’, ‘new idea for an opera’, and so on. None of these ideas ever got made, because somewhere along the line, I had lost the ability to ‘just do’. What went wrong?
  
  For as long as I have known it, I have always loved and believed in the famous Kippenberger maxim: ‘Heute denken, morgen fertig’ (‘Think today, be finished tomorrow’). Though my own maxim had become much closer to: ‘Heute denken, morgen denken. Und übermorgen auch’ (‘Think today, think tomorrow. And the next day’). I had become so reliant on the skills of others (‘makers’) – and worse – even more reliant on the opinions of others (‘gatekeepers’) that my output had dwindled to virtually nothing. This had to stop, so I set myself a challenge: RECORD A SPOKEN WORD ALBUM THIS AFTERNOON. I also set myself some rules: Must not be edited. Must be done at this desk (album cover included). Must not ask for any help. Must not worry about what anyone else thinks (they are wankers).
  
  I bought a dozen cans of pale ale, found my dictaphone, sat at my desk and began. I had no idea what I was going to say, but whatever I did say would be ‘the album’.
  
  By 6pm, I had finished, and I was elated – what I’d recorded might be shit, I didn’t care – because for the first time in many years, I had ‘just done’ something. ‘Heute denken, heute fertig’ (‘Think today, finish today’).

  They are called the Greatest Generation, but they were also ordinary men, responding to the call of duty. These are their unforgettable stories—first-person accounts from the last of the soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines who fought the most dreadful war in history, all collected by a veteran of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. 
   
   
   
  The idea was simple: travel across the country with a 1945 M1 Garand, the basic U.S. fighting rifle of World War II, ask combat veterans of that war to sign it, and listen carefully as the rifle evoke a flood of memories and emotions. Andrew Biggio once again reveals the astonishing effect his M1 Garand had on the old warriors who held it. In Biggio's riveting account, you will learn: 
   
   
   
  ● What it was like to fight for freedom in the various theaters of World War II 
   
   
   
  ● The obstacles these world-conquerors faced on returning home and how they overcame them 
   
   
   
  ● The special meaning these recollections hold for later combat vets, confirming the brotherhood of warriors 
   
   
   
  ● The importance to veterans of memory and respect 
   
   
   
  Biggio's inspirational second collection is a must-listen for anyone interested in the service and sacrifices of our veterans.

  Rural Wrongs tells a shocking story about how the hunting bans enacted in England, Wales and Scotland some 20 years ago have proved to be a disaster for animal welfare. Instead of making life better for the fox, the brown hare and the red deer, they have often made life worse. As Lord Moore says in his foreword: "Rural Wrongs is the first serious work of its kind. It is a vivid and heartfelt tale about what happens to animal and human landscapes when people meddle in them for the wrong reasons. It should serve as a handbook for all those seeking to show why bad law must be replaced by rules that truly address animal welfare."
