A conclusion to a personal saga of science fiction and human achievement: forty years in the telling - begun in 1974 and concluded in 2014.

In a far and vastly-mutated future, human champion Tundran and his offspring continue to find themselves pawns in a universe-sized game between a new pantheon of gods, demi-gods and monsters.

This work develops methods for unravelling the mysteries of emotions and aims to answer fundamental questions at the heart of emotional life. By using videotapes, interviews and ethnographic description, the author studies emotions as physical and embodied rather than as remembered and recounted.

Following the destruction of civilisation, a new hero has arisen: Tundran. Like a prehistoric Beowulf or post-nuclear Armageddon Conan, he must battle to overcome goddess lovers, mutants, monsters - to return home as a liberator.

In this startling look at evil behaviour, a UCLA sociologist tries to get inside the criminal psyche to understand what it means or feels, signifies, sounds, tastes, or looks like to do any particular crime.
