Remma's Windmill
Remma’s Windmill is a collection of thought-provoking stories that coalesce into a novel. Rem, as she is called by her friends, grows up in the 60’s and 70’s, when India was emerging from the shadows of the colonial years under the British. Coming from an orthodox Brahmin family, Rem is obliged to find her own balance, teetering between the conventional demands of the elders and her irresistible desire to keep up with her more progressive friends. While her pre-teen years are spent in the farmstead of her grandparents in Kerala, her teens take her to Hyderabad, where an unhappy experience compels her to grow up overnight in a fast-forward mode. The 80’s take her to Abu Dhabi, where she secures a teaching job. Life becomes a routine run but everything changes with the advent of the internet in the 90’s. It offers her the most amazing outlet and she learns to use it proficiently enough to foray into the exciting world of ICQ, a social app, which makes it possible to connect with people all over the world. Remma finally hopes to find her identity in this virtual world, through the relationship she forges with a Dutchman. Does she manage to do so?
Ute Texts
This second volume of our Ute trilogy contains a collection of Ute oral texts. Ute oral literature reflects the life experience of a small-scale hunting-and-gathering Society of Intimates and its tight connection to the local terrain, flora and fauna that supported the hunter-gatherer life. Ute story-telling tradition is the people's literary heritage, with the narrative style allowing considerable artistic freedom and diversity in contents and style. Stories were not memorized verbatim, and story-tellers took creative liberty in elaborating and re-inventing the 'same' tale. The core cultural contents of each story are nevertheless preserved across tellers. Ute stories were most likely told at night around the fire, in front of or inside the lodge, to a mixed audience of children and adults who had heard the tale many time before. The stories aimed to both instruct and entertain. Their underlying themes are stoic and oft-cynical reflections on the vagaries of human behavior and harsh existence. They are the foundational literary tradition of The People--Núuchi-u.

Female Control
A growing body of evidence has begun to reveal flaws in the traditional assumption of female passivity and lack of discrimination after copulation has begun. William Eberhard has compiled an impressive array of research on the ability of females to shape the outcome of mating. He describes studies of many different cryptic mechanisms by which a female can accept a male for copulation but nevertheless reject him as a father. Evidence from various fields indicates that such selectivity by females may be the norm rather than the exception. Because most post-copulatory competition between males for paternity is played out within the bodies of females, female behavior, morphology, and physiology ...

Sperm Competition and Its Evolutionary Consequences in the Insects
One hundred years after Darwin considered how sexual selection shapes the behavioral and morphological characteristics of males for acquiring mates, Parker realized that sexual selection continues after mating through sperm competition. Because females often mate with multiple males before producing offspring, selection favors adaptations that allow males to preempt sperm from previous males and to prevent their own sperm from preemption by future males. Since the 1970s, this area of research has seen exponential growth, and biologists now recognize sperm competition as an evolutionary force that drives such adaptations as mate guarding, genital morphology, and ejaculate chemistry across all...
