The life of Elias Petropoulos, a provocative Greek writer, is marked by his imprisonment during the Junta and ongoing persecution by the judiciary into the 1980s. Renowned as a poet and "urban folklorist," his extensive body of work challenges societal norms and elicits strong reactions. His unique perspective and experiences provide a critical lens on Greek culture and politics, making his contributions both significant and contentious in the literary landscape of the twentieth century.

An important mathematician and astronomer in medieval India, Bhascara Acharya (1114-85) wrote treatises on arithmetic, algebra, geometry and astronomy. He is also believed to have been head of the astronomical observatory at Ujjain, which was the leading centre of mathematical sciences in India. Forming part of his Sanskrit magnum opus Siddhānta Shiromani, the present work is his treatise on arithmetic, including coverage of geometry. It was first published in English in 1816 after being translated by the East India Company surgeon John Taylor (d.1821). Used as a textbook in India for centuries, it provides the basic mathematics needed for astronomy. Topics covered include arithmetical terms, plane geometry, solid geometry and indeterminate equations. Of enduring interest in the history of mathematics, this work also contains Bhascara's pictorial proof of Pythagoras' theorem.

The narrative explores the profound impact of Francisco Coronado's 1540 expedition on Native American lives, leading to the devastating effects of colonization, including disease and religious oppression. It highlights the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, a significant uprising against Spanish rule that temporarily expelled colonizers. The subsequent reconquest in 1692 saw a resurgence of Catholic influence, evolving over the next century as Franciscans were replaced by diocesan priests. Today, Catholicism thrives in New Mexico, shaped by its complex historical legacy.
