Complementary data on the entry
edit1. A photo of the distinguished academician missing from the titular profile band of the entry is an immediate eye-sore to the reader or an early turn-off for that matter.
2. He developed a particular personal liking to the fabrics of the ancient Iranian civilization, sometimes better preserved and practically respected in most rural, mostly agrarian, communities, which led him to choose to live in a village for a full year while stayed in Iran in the late 70’s. He critically observed and made notes for later reference on his fellow villagers joining the popular uprising in 1978 which originally sprouted in the highest-populated and much better-off cities across the country.

5. Eric’s pre-eminent book that is a brilliant depiction of the role state-sponsored land reforms in Iran of the 1960’s and 1970’s played in the ultimate fall of the Pahlavi Dynasty and the demise of over two millenis of monarchical rule in Persia was translated by a major female social scientist and political activist and published in 2019 by a prestigious, independent publisher based in Tehran. The first and only Persian edition so far remains out of print. M.shafeghati (talk) 19:44, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
