Book Description
Seventeen-year-old Edwin enlisted in the military to avoid going to prison, never expecting his decision to lead him on the deadly adventure of his life. Trained to be the best, he soon adheres to little more than Wild West rules: kill or be killed. While dodging bullets--and catching a few--he makes enemies but serves his country with bravery and honor. The General's Secret Agent is a thrilling narrative that exposes the inner workings of the military. Filled with intrigue, it is a work of fiction, although much of it is based on the author's own experiences. It would be foolhardy to admit to murder or spying on the government, and yet, these things happen within the bounds of so-called fiction. Can you separate truth from story in this twisted tale of military intelligence?

The Yoga of Power
Author: Christian Lee Novetzke
Publisher: Columbia University Press
ISBN: 0231549466
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
In Indian languages from Sanskrit to Marathi, yoga has an enormous range of meanings, though most often it refers to philosophy or methods to control the mind and body. This book argues for a wider understanding, demonstrating that yoga has long expressed political thought and practice. The political idea of yoga names the tools of kings, poets, warriors, and revolutionaries. It encodes stratagems for going into battle and for the demands of governance. This idea suggests routes to self-rule even when faced with implacable obstacles, and it defines righteous action amid the grime and grief of politics and war. Sunila S. Kalé and Christian Lee Novetzke chart a new genealogy of yoga, beginning with uses of the term in the Ṛg Veda, the Mahābhārata, the Bhagavad Gītā, and the Arthaśāstra. In the world of these texts, yoga names everything from war and battle strategy to good governance, espionage, taxation, and welfare. Kalé and Novetzke follow this trail into the modern period, examining the writings and speeches of thinkers such as Gandhi, Tilak, Aurobindo, and Ambedkar as well as the extraordinary story of the Princely State of Aundh, whose ruler saw the Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation) as a tool for sovereignty. Offering a novel interpretation of yoga that embraces its long-standing political conceptualization, this book sheds light on South Asian political thought and history from its earliest texts to the present day.
