![]() Based on the latest research, this is an indispensible history of a country set to be a definitive influence on the future of world economics, politics and culture. In this brilliant new edition, John Keay continues the narrative of India’s history – covering events from partition to the present day and examining the very different fortunes of the three successor states: Pakistan, Bangladesh and the Republic of India. ![]() The peoples of the Indian subcontinent, while sharing a common history and culture, are not now, and never have been, a single unitary state the book accommodates Pakistan and Bangladesh, as well as other embryonic nation states like the Sikh Punjab, Muslim Kashmir and Assam. Older, richer and more distinctive than almost any other, India’s culture furnishes all that the historian could wish for in the way of continuity and diversity. As he pursues his final narrative, that of the growth of Indian nationalism and the establishment of India’s independence in 1947, India’s involvement in both World Wars slips by almost as an afterthought. The pattern of inward invasion plus outward migration was established early: from Alexander the Great via the march of Islam and the great Moghuls to the coming of the East India Company and the establishment of the British Raj. ![]() India’s history begins with a highly advanced urban civilisation in the Indus valley, regressing to a tribal and pastoral nomadism, and then evolving into a uniquely stratified society. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ‘Joyce has an unerring ability to convey profound emotions in simple, unaffected language…An original, quietly courageous testament to the inhuman effort of being normal.’ Guardian. Perhaps because Harold Fry himself is just wonderful…This book may follow a pattern set by another radio-dramatist-turned-novelist, David Nicholls…I love this book.’ Erica Wagner, The Times. It’s a book with a savage twist – and yet never seems manipulative. ‘Last year the time came to pick 2012’s ‘new faces’ for books: I read a pile of first novels and enjoyed a few, but there was only one I adored, and that was The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry…It is a funny book, a wise book, a charming book – but never cloying. Bookshop | Amazon | Waterstones | Blackwell’s Praise for The Unlikely Pilgrimage Of Harold Fry ![]() ![]() ![]() “Equal parts appalling and riveting, The Woo-Woo proves that a sense of humour can get you through the most dire circumstances. –Sean Madigan Hoen, author of Songs Only You Know: A Memoir The Woo-Woo is both heart-wrenching and batshit insane, and is also beautifully rendered and fearless in its whip-smart humour.” “You’ll find yourself wincing and snickering and possibly weeping long after reading the last eloquent sentence. –Sarah Perry, author of After the Eclipse: After you read this book, you may be, too-in the best way.” ![]() Her black humour combines with compassion: she represents the realities of mental illness in her family while still telling us the story from their perspective: that of people haunted by the woo-woo. “That Lindsay Wong is even alive to write this book is amazing. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Etta and Eleazar are the only ones who can save the city, save Louisa May Alcott-and save each other. The train's magic is malfunctioning and spreading a purple smoke called The Fear through the streets of Chicago. ![]() Etta spends most of her time alone, working on her comic book about Invincible Girl, the superhero who takes down super villain Petra Fide. Only, the stakes are even higher than they thought. Twelve-year-old Etta Johnson has Loud Days where she can hear just fine and Quiet Days where sounds come from far away and she gets to retreat into her thoughts. Onboard, they discover each train car is its own magical world with individual riddles and challenges that must be solved before they can reach the engine room and rescue Louisa May. The catch? Louisa May has run onto a magical train that mysteriously arrived at the station near Etta and Eleazar's houses. But when Louisa May Alcott, a friendly Goldendoodle from across the street, disappears, Etta and the dog's boy, Eleazar, must find their inner heroes to save her. Invincible Girl is brave, daring, and bold-everything Etta wishes she could be. Summary: "Twelve-year-old Etta Johnson has Loud Days where she can hear just fine and Quiet Days where sounds come from far away and she gets to retreat into her thoughts. ![]() ![]() It remains distressingly relevant a century after Wilde’s death. Wilde was an astute social commentator with a propensity to cut through self-serving hypocrisy, and as a condemnation of what we’re prepared to sanction as long as we’re prosperous The Happy Prince is among his strongest works. Now high above the city he has a full view of the misery and deprivation he was spared when alive. In the manner of fairy tales, this statue has a sentience and embodies the spirit of the boy it represents, having memories of the happy closeted days in a beautiful palace before he died young. ![]() Those never read the original as a child may be surprised to learn the happy prince is a statue, very finely adorned and upon a pedestal both literally and figuratively, universally admired and held up as an example by mothers to misbehaving children. ![]() ![]() While many of the others fell from fashionable grace over the years, its reputation has been sustained, and as lovingly detailed by Russell it’s a definite crowd pleaser. Craig Russell turned his attention to Wilde’s best known and most loved of them, The Happy Prince. ![]() It wasn’t until this fifth book adapting Oscar Wilde’s fairy tales, a full twenty years after the first, that P. ![]() ![]() ![]() Paying off all non-mortgage debt with the debt snowball method Financial Peace Universityĭave Ramsey's Financial Peace University (FPU) lays out a rigid seven-step process to help you manage your finances, get out of debt and grow wealth. The basics of Dave Ramsey's Financial Peaceĭave Ramsey's Financial Peace process has two main components: Baby Steps and EveryDollar budgeting. What's really behind Ramsey's Financial Peace, and is it the right process for everyone? We take a deep dive into Ramsey's methods and Financial Peace University to see where you may be better off straying from the path he's laid out. ![]() Using his Financial Peace methods, he’s helped countless people in their financial lives by paying off debt and saving for retirement. Bestselling author of the book "The Total Money Makeover" and podcast host Dave Ramsey has become a staple in the personal finance world - a "guru" of sorts. ![]() ![]() ![]() The writers added a pretty female agent, and an ex-family for Jason Monk. This gave us some insight into Monk's skills, espionage background and disillusionment, but the screenplay follows a different track. Also, Monk's early career unfolds as the CIA loses to the Russians in the spy game before the Cold War ends. I thought the basic novel plot was a natural screenplay: the ICON's grim political manifesto - and how it falls into Western hands. However, I don't know why the writers chose to stray from Forsythe's super novel, which is in my top-10 favorites. ![]() That's why the book 'ICON' and this DVD appealed to me. I liked 'the Saint', 'Hunt for Red October' and 'Russia House' - films with insight into the Russian culture - and problems. I thought the Russian urban scenes were impressive - it's a beautiful country, you know. Swayze (Jason Monk) is OK, but maybe miscast in this one - he doesn't have the right face. There were good actors: Barry Morse (still alive?) and Ben Cross. Looked realistic to me, not unlike the sequence in the recent 'Quiet American'. Lots of flash and bang - a truck blows up early in the film, which is sort of a launching point for the plot. There were several decent action sequences (by 'decent', I mean much better than those silly ones on '24' where the good guys show up with tiny pistols and no flak-jackets or radio-gear). I'd like to point out some positive things about ICON - the lead review here at IMDb pounded this telefilm pretty hard! lol. ![]() ![]() ![]() Laughter that brings about mutual support and quite simply makes life possible'Milos Forman, Gives us a new perspective on the Iranian society and its people, it mixes critical humour with compassion' Azar Nafisi, author of Reading Lolita in Tehran, 'Gives us a new perspective on the Iranian society and its people, it mixes critical humour with compassion'Azar Nafisi, author of Reading Lolita in Tehran'Nahal Tajadod tells a story that we have all experienced or could experience. ![]() She knows, demonstrates, that the people have one weapon against all oppression: laughter. an abundance of colourful detail brings every encounter alive' METRO'Nahal Tajadod tells a story that we have all experienced or could experience.
