Book Description
"A Modest Quest" describes the beginning of my quest to find out about my family. It was, at the outset, intended to be a modest quest - simply to find out about my parents' parents and brothers and sisters. Growing up, I and my sister and brother thought that all our grandparents were already dead; nor did we know much about our uncles and aunts. But the quest was not easy; it took about two years and some deep digging just to settle the questions about some of these relatives. By then, of course, the quest had embedded itself in my life, because you don't understand a person until you know something about their parents, and so it goes on.

The Dream-Quest of Vellitt Boe
Author: Kij Johnson
Publisher: Tordotcom
ISBN: 0765386518
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 105
Book Description
One of NPR's Best Books of 2016 and a Hugo, Nebula, John W. Campbell, and Locus Award finalist for Best Novella Professor Vellitt Boe teaches at the prestigious Ulthar Women’s College. When one of her most gifted students elopes with a dreamer from the waking world, Vellitt must retrieve her. "Kij Johnson's haunting novella The Dream-Quest of Vellitt Boe is both a commentary on a classic H.P. Lovecraft tale and a profound reflection on a woman's life. Vellitt's quest to find a former student who may be the only person who can save her community takes her through a world governed by a seemingly arbitrary dream logic in which she occasionally glimpses an underlying but mysterious order, a world ruled by capricious gods and populated by the creatures of dreams and nightmares. Those familiar with Lovecraft's work will travel through a fantasy landscape infused with Lovecraftian images viewed from another perspective, but even readers unfamiliar with his work will be enthralled by Vellitt's quest. A remarkable accomplishment that repays rereading." —Pamela Sargent, winner of the Nebula Award At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

The Unicorn Quest
Author: Archana Rai
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 9389449766
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
Starting up is not just about business. In the life of a young nation like India, it is also a marker of changing mores, aspirations and perhaps even the evolving cultural fabric of a society that is finally coming into its own. This book will seek to illustrate how this wave of change, which differs from earlier ones in the history of Indian business, has come to pass. It will examine what these changes mean in an era that looks set to be dominated as much by the uncertainties of climate change and a transition away from a fossil-fuel economy as also by the rise and disquieting threat of artificial intelligence. This is a story of innovation, of ambition and yes, the grand vision of a select few that is transforming the way India learns, works and plays.
