�
He’s learning to live. . . . As Corin struggles under the weight of her neuroses, Beckett Kingsley is attempting to rebuild a life that feels all too temporary.

"Laugh with me.
Dance with me.
Smile with me.
Love with me.
Live with me."

The butterflies never ceased fluttering in my stomach.
I was crossing my fingers.
I was holding my breath.
I was reading really slow - because her words warranted it.
It was like I was going to miss something if I hurried myself into it.
So there I was, grasping my reader tightly with those f!@$% butterflies in my stomach that couldn't stop fluttering.
Ms. A. Meredith Walters, I felt my heart stopped. My breathing hitched...
I never felt so much relief. OMG.
The butterflies followed me in my dreams.
This was such a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful read.
I just can't recommend it enough.

What happens when a girl who thinks she’s dying meets a man who is just learning how to live?

Are your hearts ready? Because this is not your ordinary sappy romance novel. Oh no, fellow readers, this one is far more complex than that. Yes, it has those cheesy moments that can melt hearts, it has some sprinkle of steam into it, but more than that, the overall effect of the book on me was like an eye-opener, an inspiration to those who are losing hope, and to those who can’t let go of their past. It’s time to stop and smell the flowers. It’s time to live.

"Seconds. Minutes. Days. Look at the bigger picture and embrace whatever time you have. Don’t look constantly toward the end. Enjoy the right now."

There were times when I get frustrated because Corin was so wrapped up with herself and her mortality that she’s forgetting to live. She had lost so much at a young age, and she was afraid she’d die young. Her parents died when she was still in her teens and she had been the one to take care of them. She is experiencing panic attacks and anxiety and frets over little things that she thought could trigger her health to spiral downwards. She goes doctor shopping and gets angry when the doctors would assure her there’s nothing wrong with her. Some people would be glad to hear it, but her? Ugh.

"I think that you’re so scared of dying that you’ve forgotten what it’s like to live."

But him? He wasn’t perfect. Beck did the whole grief thing when he was recovering, but he passed through it. It was difficult knowing he couldn’t do the things he love anymore. But I love his new outlook in life, it was inspiring. He was living and embracing his life one moment at a time.

Most people do have baggage, and these two has a lot on their back. The girl who couldn’t grieve properly and couldn’t let go of her past and the man who had grieved his past life and is trying to move on. I thought it would have been a disaster for this two to meet. That it would have been unhealthy for them to be together, but I was wrong. They were meant for each other. He was good for her. They make each other feel so much than they could have ever imagine. So yes, I was wrong. They were pretty good for each other. She was the damsel in distress, and he was her prince charming.

"Because the way I feel when I’m around you is crazy. It’s out of control. I just want to touch you. I want to be with you. All. The. Time."

They are the most unlikely couple, but they made it work. The chemistry and affection was there. And just when they were just beginning to live their HEA, something happened. Something that made my heart stopped, I couldn’t stop reading! It was painful, excruciating and I was about to lose hope of an HEA that both of them desperately deserved. Will fate give them a chance?

Well-written, perfectly-paced and emotion-filled read. Butterfly Dreams is the kind of book that will take you into an emotional journey and give you the unexpected.

10 REASONS WHY I LOVE THIS BOOK:
1. It’s A. Meredith Walters, so this has to be really good!
2. THE FEELS!!!! Rollercoaster intensity of emotions that would keep you on your seats.
3. It’s different. Romantic, sweet, a sprinkle of steam (but not a lot) but nevertheless, it’s an amazing read.
4. It’s about life and second chances.
5. It’s about living your life to the fullest.
6. It’s about letting go of the pain of your past and embracing the present.
7. It’s about the power of love, and how it can change almost everything.
8. Miracles do happen.
9, Happy ending. � I almost wasn’t sure of this.
10. It’s beautiful. The WORDS, omg, THE WORDS!!!!!

GOOD BUT DISAPPOINTING
By Susan S
3.25 STARS

When it comes to A. Meredith Walters, I’m always eager to devour each new book she writes. With every word she sets to paper, she successfully injects sensitivity and humanity to the story at hand. Thus, her knack for tackling difficult subjects should be applauded. In this regard, “Butterfly Wings” is no exception. Yet overall, I found the story to be good but somewhat disappointing.

Corin Thompson is the owner of Razzle Dazzle pottery shop. She is also a hypochondriac that suffers from extreme anxiety and panic attacks. Having never properly grieved the death of her parents, her anguish manifests itself in the form of non-existent ailments. Convinced that she suffers from a deadly heart condition, Corin decides to join a support group called Mended Hearts.

Enter Becket Kingsley. At only 28 years old, Beckett suffered a near-fatal heart attack as a result of a previously undetected, genetic heart condition. The once vibrantly active Beckett LITERALLY had his world turned upside down. But with a positive attitude and the help of his friends at Mended Hearts, Beckett is learning to enjoy life and to appreciate each moment as it comes.

When Corin arrives at Mended Hearts, both she and Beckett are surprised to discover that they have actually met before. During one of Corin’s panic attacks weeks earlier, Beckett was the stranger on the street that assisted her during the attack. For Corin, it was an embarrassing incident she’d rather forget. But over the ensuing weeks, Beckett hadn’t been able to put thoughts of Corin out of his mind. So for him, Corin’s unexpected arrival at Mended Hearts was an opportunity he couldn’t pass up.

Initial interactions between Corin and Beckett are awkward at best. But Beckett is determined to break down Corin’s walls by slowly immersing himself into her life. Corin’s abrasive attitude and brutally upfront personality is refreshing to Beckett. And Corin seems to understand him in ways that his friends and family can’t.

Fearful of losing another person close to her, Corin is determined to hold Beckett at a distance. But Beckett is nothing if not persistent. His desire to keep Corin in his life means convincing her to take a chance—a chance on life, a chance on love, and a chance on them. She needs to stop worrying about the possibility of death and simply focus on the here and now.

“Butterfly Dreams” is a good solid story, but not a great one. I wanted to love it—I really did. But I had a very hard time getting into the story and an even harder time connecting with Corin. While on a personal level, I was able to relate to the character’s anxiety issues and panic attacks, I found Corin’s constant rude and anti-social behavior to be off putting. Add to that her persistent negativity and refusal to accept help, and I found little to no reason for Beckett to want to stick around. While some might say Corin’s personality is quirky, I just found it to be annoying.

On the flip side, however, I ABSOLUTELY, 100%, FELL IN LOVE WITH BECKETT!! Despite having had his entire world turned upside down, Beckett was determined to live for the moment and to take joy in the fact that he was still very much alive. I marveled at his upbeat personality, chuckled at his humor, and swooned at his romantic words. But I DIDN’T feel the connection between him and Corin—in OR out of the bedroom. And that, especially, was a big issue for me.

As a reader, I accepted Corin into Beckett’s life, because she seemed to make him happy. Why, I’m not quite sure. Corin seemed a bit too self-absorbed for my liking. Aside from encouraging Beckett to pursue his photography, their relationship often appeared one-sided. Even when Beckett should have been angry with Corin—when he should have felt deceived; lied to—he chose to forgive rather than confront. While admiral, in theory, real life doesn’t quite work like that. Whatever happened to accountability for one’s actions? Yes, I can understand the REASONS behind Corin’s actions, but it certainly doesn’t EXCUSE them. And while Corin did finally came around by the end, for me, it was a case of “too little too late.”

Even more confusing to me than Corin and Beckett’s relationship is Corin’s relationship with her friend/business partner Adam. I found the whole side story to be odd, incomplete and generally unnecessary.

While it truly pains me not to be able to give “Butterfly Dreams” a glowing endorsement, I feel I must be totally honest in my assessment. Perhaps real life experience has jaded me to the frailties in Corin’s personality and other readers will be able to look upon Corin’s character with more compassionate eyes. I sincerely hope this is the case. But whether you fall in love with “Butterfly Dreams” or not, there is one important message that I hope we can all take away from Corin and Beckett’s story—a message we should ALL take to heart… regardless of what life throws at you, take joy in simply being alive.

Very, very special
By Suze Lavender
Corin has lost both of her parents while she was still a teenager. Now that she's an adult she's still struggling with the consequences of that terrible loss. She's afraid of death and thinks something bad will happen to her. When she meets Beckett, a man who has a heart disease, who is trying to be positive and keep on living his life to the fullest, something changes. Both Beckett and Corin have to deal with their mortality in a completely different way and they find comfort with each other. They don't know what the future will have in store for them, but they're trying to make the most of the present...

Butterfly Dreams is a beautiful story about a difficult topic, mortality. A. Meredith Walters has described this in such a tender and compassionate way, I loved that. Corin and Beckett's direct communication and jokes are the perfect counterpart which makes the story balanced and complete. Corin's issues are mainly psychological and Beckett's are physical. They support one another and complement each other. They are both admirable people. I liked them immediately and was touched by their story.

I read this book with a smile on my face, but also with tears in my eyes. Butterfly Dreams is a story that makes the reader feel and think a lot. I like how important questions about life and living are being raised and how both of the main characters are trying to find their own answers to them. Corin and Beckett are beautiful people. This book can certainly be judged by its cover, it's as amazing on the inside as it is on the outside. Butterfly Dreams is moving, hopeful, realistic and very, very special.

Form and Fabric in Landscape Architecture provides an original, visual approach to the study of landscape architecture by creating a spatial morphology based on use and experience of landscapes. It explores aesthetic, spatial and experiential concepts by providing a structure through which landscapes can be understood and conceived in design. 'Fabric' is the integrated structure of whole landscapes, while 'form' refers to the components that make up this fabric. Together form and fabric create a morphology of landscape useful for the development of visual-spatial design thinking and awareness. This book is intended as both an introduction to the discipline for students of landscape architecture, architecture and planning, and a source of continuing interest for more experienced environmental designers.

Review
"This book is one of those that should not be judged at face value. To my knowledge there are no other books quite like it -- quite a daunting fact at the start. But stick with it, because the formulas used to structure the book is a real winner...In summary, when reading this book -- and read it you definitely should -- make sure you do not have an appointment to keep. This book will make you feel obliged to read on, just to check if there is an ingredient of landscape design to which you have so far been oblivious."
-Martin Hird, "Landscape Design 308, , March 2002
"Dee (Univ. of Sheffield, UK) has produced a fascinating book with excellent and invaluable line drawings as an introduction for landscape students as well as those in architecture and planning. The clarity of the writing and the selection of the drawings, even if based on photographs, make for a lucid picture. The work is an important and provocative contribution." "T.J. McCormick, emeritus, Wheaton College (MA) Choice May 2002 Vol. 39 No. 09."

Great visual tool
By Pune Rajaei
This book is a great visual and morphological resource of elements within the landscape. It is a great tool for both the design student and practitioner. The layout of the book alongside the graphic content gives a great visual reference to the terms discussed in the book. This layout helps the designer to make a connection and create a visual and spatial narrative of the elements that creates the landscape. The book is divided into seven chapters: 1-Landscape Fabric 2-Spaces 3-Paths 4-Edges 5-Foci 6-Thresholds 7-Detail. Each of the chapters starts with a detail definition of the heading and explains all the related terms that are in association with the chapter heading. With the great visual layout and description of the terms this book not only can be used as a source to be used into understanding the different elements within the landscape it also could be used as a source to build the necessary vocabulary for the design student. I recommend this book since it serves as a great visual and spatial source of information for the design student especially students in landscape architecture field. The organization of the chapters is in a way that helps the student build the spatial and visual elements of the landscape and enables them to build and integrate these elements into their work.

Great
By arcaterra
This is a book for those interested in the practical philosophy of landscape architecture. It is not only the discussion by the author, but also the author's illustrations which reinforce her extremely valuable insights into form and complexity. I use the book as an exercise for sketching. She is right, sketching is perception. I highly recommend this book

Wouldn't life be better if you were free of the daily grind - the conventional job and boss - and instead succeeded or failed purely on the merits of your own investment choices? Free Capital is a window into this world.
Based on a series of interviews, it outlines the investing strategies, wisdom and lifestyles of 12 highly successful private investors. Each of them has accumulated �1m or more - in most cases considerably more - mainly from stock market investment. Six are 'ISA millionaires' who have �1m or more in a tax-free ISA, a result which is arithmetically impossible without exceptional investment returns.
Some have several academic degrees or strong City backgrounds; others left school with few qualifications and are entirely self-taught as investors. Some invest most of their money in very few shares and hold them for years at a time; others make dozens of trades every day, and hold them for at most a few hours. Some are inveterate networkers, who spend their day talking to managers at companies in which they invest; for others a share is just a symbol on a screen, and a price chart shows most of what they need to know to make their trading decisions.
Free capital - money surplus to immediate living expenses - is the raw material with which these investors work. It can also be thought of as their psychological habitat, free from the petty tribulations of office politics. Lastly, free capital describes the footloose nature of their assets, which can be quickly redirected towards any type of investment anywhere in the world, without the constraints which institutional investors often face.
Although it presents many advanced insights and valuable investment hints, this is not an overly technical book. It offers practical ideas and inspiration, with revealing detail and minimal jargon, making it an indispensable read for novice and experienced investors alike.

Free capital: a financial resource, an investment style, a way of life
By Taylor
Please note, I received a copy of this book for review from the publisher, Harriman House, on a complimentary basis.

A methodical review of investors and their strategies

The greatest strength of "Free Capital" is its organization and layout-- it's truly like visiting an expertly-designed website in that the author has organized his investor interviews by four major descriptive categories:

-geographers; top-down investors who begin with a macro thesis then look for companies and financial instruments which will benefit from that trend
-surveyors; bottoms-up investors who start looking at individual companies and then sometimes check to see what kind of macro conditions might affect them
-activists; investors who tend to get personally involved with their investments, taking large stakes and developing a close relationship with management
-eclectics; people who don't really fit any mold, but might be day-traders, value investors, sometimes activists, etc.
Within each categorical section are profiles of 12 (in total) investors that Guy Thomas spoke with, many of whom are anonymous, most of whom he came into contact with via investor message boards he participates on, and all of whom are UK-based and have managed to grow their capital into millions even over the last decade or less.

Though many were once employed by others and some came from financial backgrounds, all are now independent, full-time investors who live off of their investment returns and it is this kind of self-directed lifestyle and the resources which are needed to finance it that primarily lend themselves to the book's title.

What's really great is that in each chapter, Guy Thomas begins with a quick "tearsheet" profile of the investor's strategy, key phrases, holding period, etc., then neatly organizes the interview material into background on the investor's life and development as a financial person, outlines their strategy, experiences and any particularly demonstrative coups or failures they've enjoyed (or sufferred) and finally and extremely helpfully, summarizes all the material again in a table at the end with the major themes or ideas explored for quick reference.

As if this weren't enough, Guy Thomas has written a lengthy (and for once, interesting) introduction to the book that serves as a combination summary of the main themes of the book as well as a how-to manual for those looking to get the most out of their reading. Thomas is correct in suggesting that the book can be read all the way through as a complete work, or explored at random based on what, if anything, sounds interesting to the reader.

It's touches like this that show a thoughtfulness on the part of the author that leave the reader painfully aware of their absence in comparison to many other books in the genre. Frankly, it'd be nice if authors and publishers took Thomas's lead on this point!

My favorite part: inspiration

I was excited to dig into the book in part because a friend had mentioned it to me and had commented favorably on it. He said a lot of the material covered wouldn't be original but that I might find it inspirational to read other people's stories of how they got where they are.

Maybe it's where I am in my life right now, maybe it's the subtle suggestion my friend made planted in my mind, or maybe it's the shining spot for the book but the inspiration was one of the most important things I took away from the book. Some of the profiles were admittedly unhelpful (such as the day-trader, an investment style I can't see any point in) or just not interesting to me (a few of the investors followed research processes I don't have the time or motivation to emulate), but there were a couple I identified with, which made me feel empowered and hopeful about myself as I read them.

I particularly liked the two named investors, John Lee (who is a dividend-oriented value investor of sorts) and Peter Gyllenhammar (who bankrupted himself twice before hitting his stride and amassing his current fortune). I believe all of the investors lives and experiences illustrated this point well, but these two in particular were examples of the phrase "Patience is a virtue." If a man can dust himself off after two bankruptcies and still make something of himself he can probably do just about anything given the time and the patience. Seeing as how I haven't suffered personal bankruptcy (yet) I felt greatly advantaged to learn from this example of perseverance and triumph over failure.

Wise aphorisms

Another theme oft explored in "Free Capital" is the role simplicity plays in good investing. To that effect, I found a lot of great investing ideas captured in brief, simple aphorisms that made them both easily digestible and sufficiently memorable to make use of them myself in my own deliberations. Some examples include:

-Good investing "requires only a few good decisions" (a helpful reminder given the way many seem to imply that a true investor is marked by the numerousness and hyperactivity of his ideas)
-An activist is an investor who goes looking for trouble
-"Quiet freedom is itself exotic" (in this way, independent investors lead quite adventuresome and even exciting lives!)
-Exposure to some chances can only arise through deliberate and possibly unpopular and eccentric choices
-Investment skill consists in not knowing everything, but in judicious neglect: making wise choices about what to overlook
-Freedom is like income that cannot be taxed
-To make good decisions, you need to look actively for reasons not to buy a company. And then invest only in those where you can live with the reasons
-Time is a limited resource with strongly diminishing returns. The first hour you spend researching a company is much more important than the tenth hour
-If an investment decision requires detailed calculations, you should pass, because it's probably too close
-The sun shines even on the poor man

Also of note is the author's book-companion blog, which goes into a bit more detail on some of the investment themes captured in the book and which I've found to be a good supplement to the reading seeing that I was still interested to learn more even after I put it down.

Conclusion

"Free Capital" is a unique offering. It has a styling and organization that many books in its genre lack and I hope this effort is continued in any future titles from the author. And it treads original ground in profiling anonymous, "everyman" successful investors that no one has heard of yet who have interesting stories, experiences and lessons to share all their own. We can all learn from more than just Warren Buffett, after all.

It's not without its flaws, of course. As the author himself states, the book doesn't cover losing investors, people who took some of the risks investors profiled took, and failed, or who took other risks that didn't turn out right, and then explores what lessons can be learned from their shortcomings. This probably could be a worthwhile book in itself, as there is a growing literature on "failure studies" and as the first lesson every investor must learn is "don't lose what you've got", learning of common mistakes to avoid could be helpful. Additionally, as an avid deep value (Benjamin Graham) guy myself, I could've done without the day trader and some of the other guys who seem like GARPy, momentum-based swing traders with short time horizons and questionable "value" metrics.

But those are minor quibbles and things that Guy Thomas could easily rectify by simply writing us more great books to read! Overall, "Free Capital" was entertaining, at times enlightening and best of all, extremely gracious with my free time as I read the entire thing in just three or four hours. Given the focus on the value of time in the book, I appreciated the fact that I could digest the meat of the book and walk away with some great insights to help my own investing... and still have time left in the day to get other things done!

Interesting book
By Rod Maciver
Some sections go into specifics important to those of us who study the market, and others are more entertaining than useful. That may be because some interview subjects were reluctant to discuss or otherwise reveal the specifics of what they do and why. Other interview subjects go into their methods fascinating depth.

All in all, a worthwhile book for serious investors, in my opinion. Not great -- I wouldn't for instance put it in the same category as "Benjamin Graham and the Power of Growth Stocks" -- but worthwhile and entertaining -- more entertaining for instance than Frederick Martin's book on Ben Graham's lessons learned growth stock investing.

Well worth reading!
By Oak Tree
Excellent book, well written and giving good practical examples of what has worked for these people. Very interesting.
Would definitely buy a follow up book as am sure there are more stories of people doing this out there. Could have done with more than 12 examples basically.

Horrible
By Acutegrl
Each chapter in this book is written by a different author which leads to inconsistencies in terminology as well as level of subject matter presented. The book feels slapped together and the content does not seem to flow in a logical fashion. The book is very hard to follow due to the way it was organized. You often cover content in great detail before you get the basic intro to the subject three chapters later. I would not recommend this book.

Not the movie, but still thought-provoking
By A Customer
A whimsical, fun and quick read, made amusing because, unlike in the 1967 movie, the apes live in modern cities, have present-day technology and wear 20th century human clothing. You can see in the book where screenwriter Rod Serling found many of the elements for the movie, but the book is different from the film in many ways, including in its assessment of man. The story begins in the year 2500, and the Heston character is a French journalist who really does travel to another planet. As in the film, he finds a world where apes are the ruling species with language, science and culture, and humans are dumb, inarticulate brutes who communicate by screeches and are exhibited in zoos. Don't expect Serling's crackling scenes and dialogue, or his blunt and searing indictment of humanity, and there is no Statue of Liberty at the end to wrap it all up. The book is much more in the spirit of Gulliver's Travels; our protagonist is at first considered an odd stranger but is later accepted into the society as almost an equal. But you will learn here the reasons behind some of the unexplained features of the movie: why the humans are mute, and how the planet of the apes came to be. The reasons are part and parcel, though, of the statement Boulle wishes to make about humanity: that truly innovative and revolutionary ideas and the people who bring them forth are very few and far between, and that most people really do not think, and simply follow and imitate the practices of those around them and those who came before them. Boulle wants to take our pride in our superiority above other animals, based on our higher intellectual abilities, down a notch or two, and that he has done so becomes clear after you read the last words and set the book down. I first read this book as a boy enthralled by the movie series, when the "Apes" movies were in the theaters, and I still occasionally thumb through my 25-year-old Signet paperback edition of the novel.

Great science fiction
By A Customer
Having been a fan of the movie for years, I was excited to find out that it was actually based on a book. However, the book, while being similar to the movie in theme and idea, was completely different from what I had expected. Starting with two space travelers finding a ship which has been abandoned for some time, floating in space, the book catapults you into the story of Heston, a space travelling journalist who finds his way to and escapes from a planet entirely ruled by apes. The ending of the book is classical science fiction and will be an awesome surprise to anyone who has seen the movie. Although almost entirely different from the movie, I enjoyed the book immensely. While I've found myslef distracted watching the movie at times due to the underlining political themes, the book was duly unadulterated science fiction and I was able to detach wholly into the world of imagination and be enthralled in this incredible story. I would give this book to anyone.

READ THE BOOK TOO
By C. Baker
Given the impending release of the movie "THE PLANET OF THE APES" I rented the original movie, which I thought was great. But I just had to read the original book too. (I'm a reader, what can I say?)
I was greatly and pleasantly surprised, quite honestly, about the quality of the book. It was originally written in French trnaslated by Xan Fielding. The prose read extremely well for a translation and the acerbic wit, humor and biting satire comes through loud and clear in the book.
The novel is absolutely wonderful satire. Especially poignant were the scenes where the intelligent human has to witness his fellow human beings subjected to sometimes deadly but always degrading biological and mental experiments. Here, MAN is the object of big game hunts where apes go out and shoot down their human prey for sport. The novel also takes shots at academia and the scientific "establishment", the stock market, and most clearly of all "species-centrism" (or ethnocentrism if you will).
There are a few differences between the book and the original movie. Here, the "Planet of the Apes" is on the other side of the galaxy and is reached through intergalactic flight. Apes are much more technologically advanced than they are in the movie and even have space flight (even if it is described in a somewhat cheesy manner). The apes take over more through the technologcial (and read between the lines, moral) stagnation of mankind than a nuclear holocaust (as in the movie). But for the most part, the movie did an excellent job of telling a similar, yet different story, using the book as it's basis.
In short, I highly recommend the book and the /original/ movie if you haven't seen it. The novel is rewarding in its own right. Hopefully the new movie will be too.

Since the British colonial period anthropology has been central to policy in India. But today, while the Indian state continues to use ethnography to govern, those who were the "objects" of study are harnessing disciplinary knowledge to redefine their communities, achieve greater prosperity, and secure political rights.

In this groundbreaking study, Townsend Middleton tracks these newfound "lives" of anthropology. Offering simultaneous ethnographies of the people of Darjeeling's quest for "tribal" status and the government anthropologists handling their claims, Middleton exposes how minorities are—and are not—recognized for affirmative action and autonomy. We encounter communities putting on elaborate spectacles of sacrifice, exorcism, bows and arrows, and blood drinking to prove their "primitiveness" and "backwardness." Conversely, we see government anthropologists struggle for the ethnographic truth as communities increasingly turn academic paradigms back upon the state.

The Demands of Recognition offers a compelling look at the escalating politics of tribal recognition in India. At once ethnographic and historical, it chronicles how multicultural governance has motivated the people of Darjeeling to ethnologically redefine themselves—from Gorkha to tribal and back. But as these communities now know, not all forms of difference are legible in the eyes of the state. The Gorkhas' search for recognition has only amplified these communities' anxieties about who they are—and who they must be—if they are to attain the rights, autonomy, and belonging they desire.

Review
"In this remarkable ethnography, Townsend Middleton examines the recursive power of ethnographic classification by demonstrating anthropology's powerful role in the politics of postcolonial recognition in India. At once an ethnography of 'tribal' communities in Darjeeling and of the government anthropologists studying them, this dizzying hall of mirrors will provoke and unsettle."—Akhil Gupta, University of California, Los Angeles, author of Red Tape

"This book vividly stages the encounter between the ethnographic state and community politics in northeastern India. Middleton asks how and why a movement for regional sovereignty sought 'the tribal slot' to achieve recognition and redress. He finds the answer in anthropology. With lively prose and keen insight, he illuminates the unruly force of anthropological knowledge within postcolonial governance and rights."—Ajantha Subramanian, Professor of Anthropology and of South Asian Studies, Harvard University

"The Demands of Recognition makes a major contribution to the understanding of contemporary indigenous cultural politics. Middleton has a gift for luminous ethnographic narrative and incisive theoretical formulations."—James Clifford, University of California, Santa Cruz
