Book Description
Silent Footsteps is a book of one choice, to live or die. The decision is not always a conscious one, but one of destiny. It follows the never-ending battle of parent vs. child, age vs. youth, experience vs. inexperience, all of which continue from beyond the shroud of death. What is it like to die? And is it fair that 'forever' results from one bad decision? Only one person can answer these questions and that person is dead. Silent Footsteps looks at death from the deceased's point of view; where education never stops, and the lessons learned while in the flesh teach the dead.

Book Description
When an elephant saved Sally Henderson's life in Botswana, it was to change her irrevocably. A passion to conserve this majestic species was ignited, and in 1990 she left Australia to join an elephant research project in the wilds of Zimbabwe.What follows is a remarkable journey into the world of Africa's elephants, and a deeply personal memoir of one woman's awakening and the choices she makes to follow her calling.Sally paints a rare and unforgettable portrait of a herd and its matriarchs, and the perils they face in an unforgiving landscape further torn apart by civil strife. But it is the daily pleasures of being in their mighty presence that gives her story its countless wonders.Beautifully written, Silent Footsteps is a love letter to the spirit of Africa and a jubilant portrayal of the lives of elephants.

Book Description
It’s Silence, Soundly, It’s Nothing, Seriously and It’s Absence, Presently, continue The ‘It’ Series published by Matador since The Book of It (2010). They constitute another stage in an artistic journey exploring the visual and audial dialectic of mark, word and image that began over 25 years ago. In their aesthetic form the books are a decentred trilogy united together in a new concept of The Bibliograph. All three present this new aesthetic object, which transcends the narrow limits of the academic bibliography. The alphabetical works also share a tripartite structure and identical length. The Bibliograph itself is characterised by its strategic place within each book as a whole as well as by the complex variations in meaning of the dominant motifs – nothing/ness, absence and silence – which recur throughout the alphabetical entries that constitute the elements of each text. It’s Nothing, Seriously, for example, addresses the amusing paradox that so much continues to be written today about – nothing! The aleatory character of the entries in the texts encourage the modern reader to reflect on each theme and to read them in a new way. The reader is invited as well to examine their various inter-textual relations across given conventional boundaries in the arts and sciences at several levels of physical, psychical & social reproduction.

Book Description
Challenging previous interpretations of Levinas that gloss over his use of the feminine or show how he overlooks questions raised by feminists, Claire Elise Katz explores the powerful and productive links between the feminine and religion in Levinas's work. Rather than viewing the feminine as a metaphor with no significance for women or as a means to reinforce traditional stereotypes, Katz goes beyond questions of sexual difference to reach a more profound understanding of the role of the feminine in Levinas's conception of ethical responsibility. She combines feminist interpretations of Levinas with interpretations that focus on his Jewish writings to reveal that the feminine provides an important bridge between his philosophy and his Judaism. Katz's reading of Levinas's conception of the feminine against the backdrop of discussions of women of the Hebrew bible points to important shifts in contemporary philosophy toward the creation of life and care for the other.

Book Description
Wittingly caged in an empty cell for the world outside was only chaotic has much lovingly soothed the vortex of the emotions all felt and fed within, yet left unsaid. Impersonating the living dead part of something much dearer and rendering it a place within my refil has provided me with something more soothing -- WORDS. 'Inking the silence' is an anthology of poems and prose poems. Poems, whose esechos are fed with untamed silence. Poems, sewen out of the wool of losses and gains that have influenced my life deeply.I consider a heart too clichè and too brimmed to be filled with more only to watch one's feelings being buried deeper and deeper until they could be felt down the core. So, I decided to carve them over pale sheets, to keep their scent alive and read them daily.I hope you guys enjoy 'Inking The Silence' as much as my pen enjoyed to bleed.With utmost care I have placed every verse for I was aware of its veiled fragility. I wish much lovingly, these verses tempt your eyes and seep in through your being.Much Love,Garima Joshi
