Recent efforts to engage more explicitly with the interpretation of
emotions in archaeology have sought new approaches and terminology
to encourage archaeologists to take emotions seriously. This is
part of a growing awareness of the importance of senses-what we
see, smell, hear, and feel-in the constitution and reconstitution
of past social and cultural lives. Yet research on emotion in
archaeology remains limited, despite the fact that such states
underpin many studies of socio-cultural transformation. The
Archaeology of Anxiety draws together papers that examine the local
complexities of anxiety as well as the variable stimuli-class or
factional struggle, warfare, community construction and
maintenance, personal turmoil, and responsibilities to (and
relationships with) the dead-that may generate emotional responses
of fear, anxiousness, worry, and concern. The goal of this timely
volume is to present fresh research that addresses the material
dimension of rites and performances related to the mitigation and
negotiation of anxiety as well as the role of material culture and
landscapes in constituting and even creating periods or episodes of
anxiety.

In a public park in the Hague, British artist Nils Norman (born
1966) has devised an unusual work of art: one that grows and
blossoms and produces delicious fruit and vegetables. Norman's
"Edible Park" was developed using the principles of permaculture, a
form of vegetable gardening in which different plants are combined
in such a way that they complement one another's needs as they
grow. More than just a gardening model, permaculture is a
nature-based design philosophy that can be used as a guide for
architecture, product design and to improve society in general. In
"Edible Park" Norman explains his methods, his sources of
inspiration and the artistic and social-critical context around his
work. The book contains a wealth of visual material and a DIY
section explaining permaculture methods that can be applied to the
balcony or backyard garden.
