HAPPY NEW YEAR

Congratulations to Harald Haarmann for the publication of his newly released book, Interacting with Figurines: Seven Dimensions in the Study of Imagery, published by Full Circle Press. This is an archaeomythological investigation of the creation and significance of figurines that have occupied a prominent space in the cultural ecology of human populations for many thousands of years. Highly recommended!
