Book Description
When Val Anna Naruna vanishes in 1901, her parents believe she is dead, and they are unaware that her friend Taran had entrusted her with a secret stone. More than one hundred years later, Val Anna mysteriously reappears on the Auriga, a spacecraft buried deep beneath the Canaanite city of Hazor. Val Anna's stone holds the key to a destiny. The stones were one before they were broken. Then the War of Destroying Fire came, and the Ban followed. Now, 150,000 years later, the power that was divided and hidden is awakening. Its arrival threatens the Earth, fracturing time and space into countless dark worlds. In this sequel to Dark Mirror, scientists Seijung Ford and Hannah Aston join the covert Foundation Technologies International group on an expedition to the bottom of the Atlantic at a secret location in international waters. Though granted little explanation for the location or the presence of company paramilitaries, Ford and Aston soon discover the truth their corporate sponsors have been hiding from them all along.

Subaltern Sovereigns
Author: Peter Berger
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110458837
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 486
Book Description
The series Religion and Society (RS) contributes to the exploration of religions as social systems - both in Western and non-Western societies; in particular, it examines religions in their differentiation from, and intersection with, other cultural systems, such as art, economy, law and politics. Due attention is given to paradigmatic case or comparative studies that exhibit a clear theoretical orientation with the empirical and historical data of religion and such aspects of religion as ritual, the religious imagination, constructions of tradition, iconography, or media. In addition, the formation of religious communities, their construction of identity, and their relation to society and the wider public are key issues of this series.

Tryst with the Tribes
Author: Pravir Krishna
Publisher: Rupa
ISBN: 9789355202062
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
The story of how a young IAS officer fell in love with India's tribal heartlands, and how these experiences changed him forever. Pravir Krishna first came face to face with the stark realities of the exploitation of tribal people when he was posted as the collector and district magistrate of Sarguja, a tribal district in Madhya Pradesh, in 1994. It affected him so deeply that he embarked on a journey towards bettering the lives of tribal people. Ever since, he has helped create an atmosphere where tribals traded freely and earned more. In fact, his market reforms were listed by the UNO-FAO as among 32 global best practices. Pravir's close association with the tribes began in Sarguja, it then continued in Bastar, and now as managing director of TRIFED, it has become even more important. Two decades later, his efforts have culminated in the Pradhan Mantri Jan Jatiya Vikas Mission, an initiative for enterprise-centric approach to tribal development, vis-à-vis the traditional welfarecentric approach. The book also discusses critical topics like the pros and cons of providing a fair deal to tribes for their forest produces; and what needs to be done to quadruple the incomes of tribes using this as the engine. The author offers various hands-on suggestions for transforming symbolic legislation for the tribes to a more robust approach to tribal development that is based on strengthening self-help; use of local resources and the traditional and sound skills and knowledge bank of the tribes; and the need to develop enterprises based on these resources. This is the remarkable story of a bureaucrat whose destiny is forever entwined with that of many of India's tribal communities.

Political Violence and Kurds in Turkey
Author: Mehmet Orhan
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317420446
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 295
Book Description
The Kurdish conflict is an acknowledged long-standing issue in the Middle East, and the emergence of radical Kurdish nationalist movements in the 20th century played a decisive role in the evolution of political violence. Political Violence and Kurds in Turkey examines how this political violence impacts Kurds in contemporary Turkey, and explores the circumstances that move human beings to violent acts. It looks at the forms political violence takes and in which times and spaces it occurs, as well as the roles played by micro and macro factors. It takes a theoretical approach to violence, as both producer and product of interrelations between many actors, and contextualises this with studies of violence in Kurdish villages and towns. The book evaluates the three levels at which political violence operates; between the state and Kurdish movements, among Kurdish groups and between Kurdish political organizations and Kurdish society, and divides it into its different aspects and processes; fragmentation-segmentation (signifying intra-ethnic struggles between Kurdish actors), mobilization (the course leading the Kurdish movement to armed conflict), participation (the use of violence by individuals) and repertoires (the forms taken by political violence). Offering an in-depth analysis of the dynamics behind political violence and its use amongst Kurds in Turkey, this book will be a key resource for students and scholars of Middle Eastern, Kurdish Studies and Conflict Studies, and offers new understanding and approaches to the study of political violence.
