Book Description
In the world of politics, new scientific discovery and the deadly exploits of the underworld, what can happen in 7 days? Quite a lot! Murder mayhem and the collapse of a government. Set in the year 2036 in Shillong Meghalaya, India, The Rupa-Khyriem family is at the height of their prestige and the father of the family at the height of his power in the state and the crown jewel of his success so far comes when he inaugurates the world’s tallest skyscraper in one of the most seismically active regions in the world. Three towers reaching for the stars all then connecting at the top relying on each other to stabilise their tall structure and the building itself seems more like a metaphor for the man’s rising status, with some predicting he could end up being the most powerful person in the country. But however a man with such stature is not someone without skeletons in his vast closet. His ultimate achievement may just stand the test of time but how should any man with such power react when his image, family structure and life start to crumble when the truth comes to light and the chicken comes home to roost? How much intelligence is too much intelligence? The idea of a love potion had existed for so long that it is hard to date its origin but what would happen when a young man in his attempt to find love and companionship unlocks the secret of making one? But intelligence also means having the ability to see and gaze into the future and what the young man sees with the power has unleashed into the world is human self destruction and in his epiphany he will have no part in it. What is done, is done, the only way forward now is to find the optimal way to make sure such powers do not come to light. In a fight between good and evil in a world jammed between those two planes, peace is only a temporary option. And Shimty is one police officer in the Shillong Metropolitan Police Homicide Unit who has to straddle two ways of doing things, either be the good officer she aspires to constantly be or break a few rules to get things done. But constantly seeing humans at their worst is not always a good thing. With the love potion in the air and a political juggernaut spiraling into destruction how can she do her job and keep her morals intact against such powers that can change the world around her that she would no lumber be able to recognise.

An Illustrated Guide to Korean Mythology
Author: Won-Oh Choi
Publisher: Global Oriental
ISBN: 9004213252
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 330
Book Description
This highly engaging volume by one of Korea’s leading scholars of comparative mythology – the the first study of its kind in English – provides a valuable introduction to centuries-old beliefs, myths and folk tales relating to Cosmology and Flood, Birth and Agriculture, Messengers of the Underworld, Shamans, Disease, Good Fortune, Love and Family, Gods of Village Shrines, and Heroes. Containing thirty traditional stories, the book is fully illustrated throughout and contains a wide variety of Korean art, including rare shamanist paintings, as well as the work of some contemporary Korean artists. All the stories, based on Korean oral tradition, have been retold by the author according to their main plot and meaning because the original texts’ songs by shamans, containing many obsolete words and obscure idioms, are not easily understood today. The original title and source, including text notes, are provided at the end of each story. The author’s Introduction sets out the historical background and significance of the myths that appear here. He also provides full details of each of the Korean gods and their roles in mythology. While being a welcome addition to the literature on Korean culture for the non-specialist, An Illustrated Guide to Korean Mythology also provides an invaluable reference source for scholars and researchers in the fields of East Asian Mythology and Anthropology, as well as Korean History, Religion and Literature.

The New Immigrant and the American Family
Author: Marcelo M. Suárez-Orozco
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135709459
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
This six-volume set focuses on Latin American, Caribbean, and Asian immigration, which accounts for nearly 80 percent of all new immigration to the United States. The volumes contain the essential scholarship of the last decade and present key contributions reflecting the major theoretical, empirical, and policy debates about the new immigration. The material addresses vital issues of race, gender, and socioeconomic status as they intersect with the contemporary immigration experience. Organized by theme, each volume stands as an independent contribution to immigration studies, with seminal journal articles and book chapters from hard-to-find sources, comprising the most important literature on the subject. The individual volumes include a brief preface presenting the major themes that emerge in the materials, and a bibliography of further recommended readings. In its coverage of the most influential scholarship on the social, economic, educational, and civil rights issues revolving around new immigration, this collection provides an invaluable resource for students and researchers in a wide range of fields, including contemporary American history, public policy, education, sociology, political science, demographics, immigration law, ESL, linguistics, and more.
