Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Jameela Nishat's insightful and compelling verse transcends both the political and the personal. Well known for her activist poetry and keen sensitivity to issues related to women's empowerment, she has been a longtime champion of social justice and communal harmony. Her pen flows with compassion for the human condition and highlights her protest against the inherent injustices of society. At the same time Jameela Nishat's humanistic and philosophical writing retains a lyrical and feminine sensuality most evident in her deeply personal contemplations on love, loss and pain. Her poems come across as a gentle but forceful reminder of the importance of peace and tolerance, and shine a ray of hope and courage in the face of adversity at a time when clouds of intolerance and violence cast their dark shadows on the world. Jameela Nishat's soulful urdu verse has been sensitively rendered into English by Hoshang Merchant, Kelly Jo-Cigman and Uma Damodar Sridhar in this volume where she tries to capture the fragility and pathos of human existence. With each poem a subtle reflection of a moment, poignant and delicate in form and expression, these Butterfly Caresses will haunt you long after you finish reading them. …

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Ishopanishad: Call for Equality and Equilibrium holds up a venerable scripture and views it from an innovative perspective. While the traditional approach to reading and interpreting this poetic work has focused upon a spiritual exploration of its message, author Ranjan Kumar Singh looks at the Ishopanishad from a secular perspective. By virtue of this original path, the author embraces an understanding of equality, not just predating but also prefiguring the notion of equality that emerged more than two millennia later from the works of Thomas More and Karl Marx and found expression in the systems of socialism and communism. Ishopanishad: Call for Equality and Equilibrium explores the connection between socialism and the Ishopanishad, which sketches, maybe for the first time, the outlines of a benevolent state with a classless society of volunteers administered in accordance with their own moral code rooted in the ideals expressed in the scripture. Whether you have made the Ishopanishad the focus of your reflection for some time or find yourself drawn to this topic for the first time, the present book offers a unique and contemporary journey into the heart of the poetic text that is ancient and yet inspiring as it asks us to work tirelessly throughout the life.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - So here we are, soaring through the depths of space as if we belong here. Twelve years ago, we had no deep space program and we'd never ventured past the moons of Jupiter. We were forced into this sci-fi existence. Scientists from all around the world had warned us to take care of our fragile environment, which had already been suffering from rising sea levels and global extremes. They tried to prepare us for the consequences of neglect and the cost of our ruthless consumption of the planet's natural resources, but greed is a powerful thing, as is lack of foresight. Our planet went into a global whiteout that began during the 21st century. It was expected to cause the annihilation of all advanced life on planet earth. In an attempt to save humanity, an enormous self-contained spaceship, lovingly christened The Enterprise, set off for the Orion nebula in January of the year 2120 in the hopes of finding an inhabitable planet to claim as our own. Able to make great leaps into the galaxy, through an induced wormhole, this vessel enabled us to be found by a Federation of different species of advanced humanoids inhabiting planets in over one hundred solar systems. We now know for sure that we are not alone in this universe. We were invited to join this federation. We also found a planet we could inhabit. There are also two dangerous and surprisingly advanced reptilian adversaries, the Palchek and the Crau, who have terrorized the Federation for several millenia. After thousands of years of this aggression, Kotar, the leader of the Federation, declares an all out war. --Commander Robert Manning, First Mate of New Earth's Flagship, The Elusive.…
