99 reflections on landscapes
Author: Phil Lloyd
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1326757059
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 114
Book Description
There are many philosophical landscapes (religion, art, etc.) just as there are many physical landscapes (forests, mountains, etc.). To see then understand them, we need illumination then reflection, hence the title 'reflections on landscapes'. Philosopher poets illuminate entire landscapes, but my aim is simply to try to shine a little light on these 99 tiny patches of land just enough to allow you to reflect on them from your own unique viewpoint. After all, you are the source of heat and light. You are the unique sun at the centre of your own unique solar system. It is you and you alone that must reflect on all the worlds and on all their landscapes as they constantly revolve around you.This book also includes 13 Ominals (poems for children about animals).

Between the Rivers
Author: Harry Turtledove
Publisher: Macmillan
ISBN: 1429914963
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 415
Book Description
At the sun-drenched dawn of human history, in the great plain between the two great rivers, are the cities of men. And each city is ruled by its god. But the god of the city of Gibil is lazy and has let the men of his city develop the habit of thinking for themselves. Now the men of Gibil have begun to devise arithmetic, and commerce, and are sending expeditions to trade with other lands. They're starting to think that perhaps men needn't always be subject to the whims of gods. This has the other god worried. And well they might be...because human cleverness, once awakened, isn't likely to be easily squelched.

GAS WARS
Author: Paranjoy Guha Thakurta
Publisher: Paranjoy Guha Thakurta
ISBN: 8192855139
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 651
Book Description
Prime minister of India Manmohan Singh has been accused of changing ministerial portfolios at the behest of the Reliance group. There have been claims that the group deliberately ‘squatted’ on reserves of natural gas and curtailed production in anticipation of higher prices that are administered by the government, to the detriment of the interests of the country’s people. Spokespersons of the group deny these alligations and contend that gas output from the Krishna-Godavari basin came down on account of unforeseen adverse geological surprises. Sections within the Indian government do not buy these arguments. The Comptroller and Auditor General of India has alleged, among other things, that the contract between the government and Reliance Industries Limited is deeply flawed, thereby encouraging excessive capital expenditure and lowering potential benefits to the exchequer. With painstaking research, a meticulous perusal of press reports, as well as a few surprising exclusives, Gas Wars highlights cases of crony capitalism that allowed the Reliance group to blatantly exploit loopholes which were consciously retained in the system to benefit it. The book points out how, even when laws and policies appeared fair, rational, and reasonable, the way in which these rules and procedures were framed and implemented by bureaucrats acting at the behest of their political masters exposed the deep nexus between business and politics in India. Even as Gas Wars tells the story of how a corporate conglomerate, in this case the country’s largest, has benefited from the way government policies are structured, it lays bare the alarming facts of a natural disaster waiting to happen due to the ruthless exploitation of the country’s natural resources in order to swell the fortunes of a few. The book also highlights the examples of those within the government establishment who have refused to be intimidated by the rich and the powerful, and who have against all odds valiantly attempted to uphold the interests of the people of India.
