    First Line-Of-Defense for Unprecedented XtremesMan's curiosity has led to great advances, but it has also brought on great peril. The tinkering of man has triggered an apocalyptic end that can't be stopped. By chance, or divine intervention, eight humans have been empowered by celestial orbs, giving them access to ancient power not meant for The Earthly Realm. Will this new power be enough to stop the onslaught of an alien enemy? "FLUX: Celestial Genesis" is the first in the FLUX Continuum series. Traversing through time, space, and new realities, The Twelve are the only hope to save All Of Creation. Man should have kept earth hidden; now that they know, the extinction can begin. An annihilation force known throughout the "Universe" as the Bahkrata are now aware of planet Earth. The desires of this civilization are to raid, pillage and enslave humans so their world can be replenished through the excavating of Earth's global resources. While unknown to those existing within the "Universe," an unfathomable all consuming threat is coming. The dimensional barriers have been breached and "Paradise" is no longer hidden. The lines between good and evil become blurred, as heroes rise to face the end of everything.#FLUX #IFluxWitIt www.flux-zodiac.com @flux_chaos facebook, instagram, twittereBook ISBN:   9781098314781Paperback ISBN:   9781098314774

    Anthropology originated as the study of 'primitive' cultures. But the notion of 'primitive' exposes presumptions of 'civilized' superiority and the right of the West to speak for 'less evolved' others. With the fall of Empire, anthropology became suspect and was torn by dissension from within. Did anthropology serve as a 'handmaiden to colonialism'? Is it a 'science' created by racism to prove racism? Can it aid communication between cultures, or does it reinforce our differences? "Introducing Anthropology" is a fascinating account of an uncertain human science seeking to transcend its unsavoury history. It traces the evolution of anthropology from its genesis in Ancient Greece to its varied forms in contemporary times. Anthropology's key concepts and methods are explained, and we are presented with such big-name anthropologists as Franz Boas, Bronislaw Malinowski, E.E. Evans-Pritchard, Margaret Mead and Claude Levi-Strauss. The new varieties of self-critical and postmodern anthropologies are examined, and the leading question - of the impact of anthropology on non-Western cultures - is given centre-stage. "Introducing Anthropology" is lucid in its arguments, its good humour supported by apt and witty illustrations. This book offers a highly accessible invitation into anthropology.
