Sinopsis

First Cities explores the dawn of urban life, examining how humans transitioned from nomadic existence to settled urbanism in regions like Mesopotamia and the Yellow River Valley. The book investigates the environmental and socio-political factors that shaped these early cities, highlighting innovations in urban planning and social organization. Intriguingly, the shift to urban living wasn't just about settlement; it fundamentally restructured human society, impacting social hierarchies and resource allocation.

 
The book progresses systematically, first analyzing the environmental conditions that enabled the rise of cities, such as fertile river valleys. It then presents detailed case studies of early urban centers like Uruk and Erlitou, exploring their layouts, architecture, and governance. By combining archaeological evidence, textual sources, and comparative studies, First Cities offers a comprehensive look at the challenges and legacies of these nascent metropolises.

    Grandfather's Robin offers poems about People, Fellow Creatures, Society, Ekphrasis, Scenes and Moods, Survival, and Short Poems. They were written over several years, in response to people seen, read about, or known, and in response to creatures seen, read about, or known. Other poems respond to group and social behaviour, and reflect responses to works of art. Some poems are prompted by the natural world, urban and village life, and thoughts about the survival of all beings. The short poems offer instants both serious and humorous. 
    “So many reasons to enjoy Gillian Bickley’s luminous poetry – humour, depth and wisdom. ... Lovely and evocative, Bickley’s powers of observation and precise, selective description lend many of these poems the power of fine portraiture, a sepia photograph, where we see into the eyes, where we discover essence.” 
    — Jack Mayer, poet (Poems from the Wilderness) 
    “In this work, Gillian Bickley affords us a glimpse into her perspective. She invites us to reflect on the rich tapestry of life and our shared human experience. Why should you read this collection? Because there is no greater privilege than intimacy.” 
     —Mary-Jane Newton poet (Of Symbols Misused, Unlocking) 
      
     “... poems as moments of tranquility in which we can encounter lives unrolling in times that ... are anything but. To make a record such as this is a good resolution indeed, and I am pleased that Gillian has chosen for the cover a moment of tranquility I painted. As Mrs. Dorothy Collins might have said, reflecting, as these poems do, the quietness of a life-long practice, ‘Very well!’”

    Diogenes - The Cynic Who Lived...

    Diogenes of Sinope, one of the most famous figures in ancient philosophy, is a man whose life and ideas have left an indelible mark on the world. Known for his eccentric behavior and unwavering commitment to a life of simplicity, Diogenes was one of the founders of the philosophical school of Cynicism. His life was a statement, rejecting the norms and conventions of society in pursuit of a personal freedom that few could fully understand, much less emulate. To this day, his legacy remains a profound reminder of the power of nonconformity and the pursuit of virtue above material wealth. 
    Born in Sinope (modern-day Sinop, Turkey), Diogenes was a figure who viewed the world with a unique lens. He rejected the luxuries and complexities of Athenian society, seeking instead a life of self-sufficiency, minimalism, and authenticity. His choice to live in a barrel, or more accurately, a large ceramic jar, in Athens became a symbol of his commitment to simplicity and his disdain for materialism. Diogenes wasn’t just a philosopher; he was a living critique of the social structures around him. His constant questioning of authority, wealth, and societal expectations created a lasting legacy that went beyond words and doctrines. 
    The Cynic philosophy that Diogenes embodied was radical for its time. It was a philosophy that urged individuals to cast off the superficial trappings of society—wealth, fame, and social standing—and instead focus on living virtuously and naturally. Diogenes practiced what he preached, often engaging in acts that were both shocking and humorous, yet deeply philosophical. His public antics, such as walking around Athens in broad daylight with a lantern claiming to be "looking for an honest man," were not mere provocations but expressions of a profound philosophical stance against the moral decay he saw in society.
