3 Hopcroft, Rosemary L
Evolution and gender : why it matters for contemporary
life / Rosemary L Hopcroft.-- New York: Routledge, 2016.
xii, 253p. , 23cm.
ISBN : 9781138956162.
155.33 HOP 147346
Hopcroft shows that gender differences in physiology,
psychology, and behavior can be traced to slight
differences in evolved traits between men and women.
These differences exist because of sex differences in
investment in offspring, which meant that, in the
environment of evolution, some adaptive problems were
more important for men to solve than for women, and vice
versa.This book offers new research and analysis on the
relation between gender and evolution and explains
conflict between the sexes and the frequent emergence and
stubborn continuation of patriarchal regimes that serve
to control the behavior of women in societies around the
world, both past and present.

4 Moodie, Deonnie
The Making of a modern temple and a Hindu city : Kalighat
and Kolkata / Deonnie Moodie.-- New Delhi: Oxford
University Press, 2019.
xv, 217p. , 24cm.
ISBN : 9780190059125.
294.5350954147 MOO 147327
This book is about what temples do for Hindus in the
modern era, particularly those who belong to India’s
diverse and evolving middle classes. The temple plays a
very different role in the lives and livelihoods of
individuals from across the class spectrum. The future of
this and other temples across India thus relies on
complex negotiations between actors of multiple class
backgrounds who read their various needs onto these
sites.

6 Davies, Richard
Extreme economies : survival, failure, future : lessons
from the world-s limits / Richard Davies.-- London:
Bantam Press, 2019.
398p. , 24cm.
ISBN : 9781787632004.
306.3 DAV 147336
This book takes the reader off the beaten path,
introducing people living at the world’s margins. From
disaster zones and displaced societies to failed states
and hidden rainforest communities, the lives of people
who inhabit these little-known places tend to be ignored
by economists and policy makers. The author argues that
this is a mistake, and explains why the world-s
overlooked extremes offer a glimpse of the forces that
underlie human resilience, help markets to function and
cause them to fail, and will come to shape our collective
future.
