I Don't Want to Be a Frog

By: Dev Petty

The hit book about a willful young frog with a serious identity crisis and his heard-it-all-before father is now available in paperback. Perfect for fans of Mo Willems’s Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! and Jon Klassen’s I Want My Hat Back! Frog wants to be anything but a slimy, wet frog. A cat, perhaps. Or a rabbit. An owl? But when a hungry wolf arrives—a wolf who HATES eating frogs—our hero decides that being himself isn’t so bad after all. In this very silly story with a sly message, told in hilarious dialogue between a feisty young frog and his heard-it-all-before father, young readers will identify with little Frog’s desire to be something different, while laughing along at his stubborn yet endearing schemes to prove himself right. And look for the hilarious sequels—I Don't Want to Be Big, There's Nothing to Do!, and I Don't Want to Go to Sleep. ★ "First-time author Petty’s dialogue between a frog father and his son makes its point about accepting one’s nature with a big grin. . . . The story might create similar gratitude in the minds of readers—or it might just make them giggle."—Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW "A lively look at self-acceptance."—Kirkus "This amusing story ends with a laugh and a much more content frog."—School Library Journal "Silliness and deadpan humor combine into a hopping good story of being happy with who you are."—Booklist "A paean to self-acceptance wrapped in snappy dialogue and illustrated with richly colored comic paintings."—Wall Street Journal "Petty and Boldt provide just enough predictability to hook youngest readers, then deliver a delightful twist or two to create surprise and satisfaction—for both the green hero and the many fans he'll make with this book."—Shelf Awareness "This lighthearted exploration of identity will delight as a readaloud."—The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

Moth & Butterfly: Ta Da!

By: Dev Petty

Metamorphosis brings astonishing and exciting changes to a pair of caterpillar friends, who take pride in being the same--and different. Two caterpillar friends love what they have in common--lots of legs and a talent for chewing leaves into funny shapes. And when it's time to build cocoons, they hang theirs side by side. "Happy metamorphosis," says an older, more knowledgeable butterfly. And it is a happy metamorphosis indeed--for when the two emerge from their cocoons, they can fly! But so much else has changed--as one is now a moth, who flies by night, and the other is a butterfly, who flies by day. How will things work now? Fortunately some things never change--like true friends figuring out a way to be together, and happily flying into the sunset and sunrise.

The Bear Must Go On

By: Dev Petty

In this hilarious story of theatrical hijinks, plans go awry when four woodland friends stage a show--unless Bear can step up and save the day! Bear and his woodland friends are putting on a show, and there are lots of plans to be made. Their curtains need sequins! Their hats must be very, very tall! And their tickets have to be shiny! (No one will come if the tickets are dull.) Behind the scenes, shy Bear takes notes on every detail until his paws ache. But at least he won't have to go on stage. He could NEVER do that! . . . Or could he? In this uproarious tale of theatrical mishaps told with hilariously endearing art, four woodland friends bring down the house--and have plenty of fun along the way. Praise for The Bear Must Go On: "A snort-inducing lesson of both bravery and preparation." --Kirkus Reviews "The rewarding finale . . . applauds facing one's fears, being a good friend, and keeping an eye on the big picture." --Publishers Weekly "Witty and wonderful . . . A cheerful story, conveying the joy of creation, the fun of friendship, and the beauty of stepping outside one's comfort zone." --Booklist "Youngsters who find the spotlight too bright might be inspired by Bear's turn on the stage, and show stealers may also reconsider and revalue the contributions of pals who stay behind the scenes." --BCCB "This playful and endearing story offers young readers a heartfelt message about collaboration and overcoming fear, making it an excellent choice for most collections." --SLJ

The Ekistics of Animal and Human Conflict

By: Rishi Dev

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Ekistics of Animal and Human Conflict

By: Rishi Dev

Urban wildlife management is a town planning subject. It is logical and important to relate the animal and human conflict seen all over the world, as a phenomenon which is applicable to all types of human settlements, despite the diversities and complexities of cultures, societal structures, laws, value systems, religions and so on. A universal principle or theory governs and applies to all cities which define these conditions and phenomena creating the conflict or coexistence. This book investigates the niches of one of the key urban animals from a syntactic, semantic and pragmatic perspective and explores how these niches are naturally synonymous to similar patterns, structures and compositions within human settlements. It explores and defines the demographic patterns, thresholds and phenomenon, which leads to formation of the different levels and extremes of interaction between the species. This forms a paradigm which classifies this conflict within the various disciplines and frameworks of urban ecology. The focus is primarily on urban dogs, it being a keystone species, but is later related with other urban animals as well. The premise for this approach is that history has shown how certain species have persuasively coexisted with humans for so many millennia, yet a conflict happens between animals and humans and within humans over animals. It is thus logical to believe that the forces which create this conflict cannot solely be natural to the species in question and have to come from outside – from the settlement patterns of both species and the “net resultant force and dynamics”. The book looks at these dichotomies in four distinct but interrelated ways. It delves deep inside four niches which form the dynamics of any settlement – spatial, cultural, ecological and economic and explores all scales at which the “succession” and evolution of animals take place in highly urbanized settlements.

Ballad-Divine is organized around the mainstays of Krishna's doctrines, those of philosophy, action, discipline, concentration, knowledge, meditation, devotion and surrender. These pillars are in turn expounded from smaller building blocks. The theme in the sentences are repeated throughout reinforcing the subject. It is styled mostly as a ballad expressing eighteen different chapters by short stanzas; of which some are metrical.

Prison Gangs Behind Bars and Beyond

A Vicious Game

By: Dev Rup Maitra

This book draws on a four-year ethnographic study conducted in the prisons and on the streets of Greater Manchester, England, to examine gangs and organised crime in the North of England. It includes the personal testimonies of active prison gang members and major organised crime figures, many of whom are behind bars, and some active street gang members. It presents an holistic account by exploring the linkages that exist between prisons and the streets, including the lines of continuity between gangs on both sides of the prison walls and how gang affiliation straddles this divide. It offers data on the region’s drug market (specifically Class A drugs) as this market is the lynchpin of the underworld, both within and without prison. It also includes the perspectives and insights of prison officers, police detectives, youth workers, active and former street gang members and the parents of deceased gang members. This is a ground-breaking, contemporary study, analysing English gang compositions and activities, with its findings and results based on qualitative interviews and ethnographic research.

A Bollywood Affair

By: Sonali Dev

“An impressive debut . . . Vibrant and exuberantly romantic, Affair is chock full of details that reflect India’s social and cultural flux.”—NPR.org Mili Rathod hasn’t seen her husband in twenty years—not since she was promised to him at the age of four. Yet marriage has allowed Mili a freedom rarely given to girls in her village. Her grandmother has even allowed her to leave India and study in America for eight months, all to make her the perfect modern wife. Which is exactly what Mili longs to be—if her husband would just come and claim her. Bollywood’s favorite director, Samir Rathod, has come to Michigan to secure a divorce for his older brother. Persuading a naïve village girl to sign the papers should be easy for someone with Samir’s tabloid-famous charm. But Mili is neither a fool nor a gold-digger. Open-hearted yet complex, she’s trying to reconcile her independence with cherished traditions. And before he can stop himself, Samir is immersed in Mili’s life—cooking her dal and rotis, escorting her to her roommate’s elaborate Indian wedding, and wondering where his loyalties and happiness lie. Heartfelt, witty, and thoroughly engaging, Sonali Dev’s debut is both a vivid exploration of modern India and a deeply honest story of love, in all its diversity. “Deeply-felt emotions that will keep readers turning the pages.”—Susan Elizabeth Phillips, New York Times-bestselling author “Debut author Sonali Dev writes a beautiful love story in A Bollywood Affair . . . One of the best romances I’ve read this year.”—USA Today

Code Agni

Rig Veda Excerpts

By: Dev Bhattacharyya

Code Agni explores the Rig Veda honeycombed with many Rik Mantras structured as hymns of wisdom and sweetness. Riks are like sound pearls in a vast etheric ocean that permeate cosmic intelligence which authors and readers have translated them differently over seven hundred years. The translations presented in Code Agni are as direct as possible to the original manuscripts of Rig Veda and transliterated words and sentences accompany the verses as they unfold.

Dream when you start decorating

By: Dr. Vasu Dev yadav

There are still good people in the world, only then the events of their lives become legends, encouraging the disappointed people from generation to generation, continuing on their fire path, as a result of which the unclaimed youth also marks his goal. His realization proves that if everyone believes in their deeds and keeps their thinking positive, then no person can remain unemployed, leave being dependent on the government, let us write our own history... Filled with some similar feelings, he finds himself filled with self-power. Emotions arising out of triangle love seem to engulf the reader in the form of a character himself, this story seems to be contained within himself, where there is also the climax of sex and the plot of relationships which inspires the society to be conscious. A motivational novel with a unique story that will surely succeed in giving direction to every reader.

Foragers

The Chenchus

By: P. Vishnu Dev

Until few thousand years ago, virtually all humanity lived as hunters and gatherers. The same foragers may hold the key to some of the central questions about the human condition–social life, politics, economy and gender–about the possibility of living with nature, without destroying it. The intention behind this book is to make people understand how the Chenchu community has been constructed, developed and survived with their intelligence designs for thousands of years while protecting the ecology of their habitat. This research is aimed at studying and documenting the epistemological basis of the socio-cultural practices among the Chenchu community in the Nallamalla forest. The study has an immense scope to contribute to the understanding of tribal issues and challenges in a global context. The research findings of the study may provide a ground for debate and discussion,while influencing the policy and decision making towards safeguarding and development of Tribal habitats in India.

Research Methodology

Research Methodology

By: Dr. Dev Brat Mishra “Dev”

Difficulties that accompany normal life are obstacles to be avoided as far as possible. Researchers are always looking for interesting questions. There is a difference in the fact that obstacles to research can be opportunities or circumstances that require problem solving. All empirical findings and results should be subject to further investigation before being considered definitive. Because scientific knowledge is always provisional and therefore all empirical results and ideas are fundamentally suspect. Research, on the other hand, has the equally important function of establishing new knowledge claims as well as seeking more precise confirmation of existing knowledge claims. [citation needed] The first natural step in achieving this is to provide a characterization of the problem. According to Northrop, "research begins only when something is unsatisfactory, when habitual beliefs are inappropriate or questionable, when facts essential to clarifying one's concerns are unknown, and when relevant hypotheses are not even considered likely" (research begins (1966) "What you have at the beginning of an investigation is only the problem," said the researcher. "What you have at the beginning of an investigation is only the problem." only when something is unsatisfactory when the usual beliefs are insufficient or questionable when the essential facts are unknown to clarify the concerns and when (1966). The formulation of research questions not only serves an important academic purpose, but also an important social purpose. According to Merton, Broom, and Cottrell (1959), researchers have a responsibility to defend the use of their limited time and other resources in light of the demands placed on them by their work

the nocturnal grey

By: Dev Khatri

the verses here are a moonlight-drenched journey into the depths of emotion and existential pondering. this isn't your typical drive on the streets of love and positivity, but rather an attempt of embracing the darkness and appreciating its raw beauty, where the light attempts to kill the dark and the shadows reveal truth. this collection is my way of breaking emotions into puzzle pieces that don't make sense if found on a random street but when come together, they'd push you to go out and take a walk under the stars. “to art we turn, when every foreseeable facet of our life burns” as you explore these pages, may you find solace, a dash of comfort, and perhaps even a moment of deep-sigh.

Summer of 99

By: Dev Das

Life sometimes takes us through the most unexpected twists and turns. From what seemed like the end for a young man who got his heart broken in a sleepy town in Dehradun, life shows him a new beginning. Arriving in Mumbai, he ends up meeting a girl from a fishermen’s hamlet, from where a new relationship blossoms; for her, the joy of first love, while for him, like another page he’s turned… yet another goodbye he’s uttered like many times before in his life. The two eventually part ways. Years later, the man returns to Mumbai, after years of hard work and climbing up the social and financial ladder, for a bit of rest, recreation and soul searching. Here, a chance encounter with a tiny angel brings him back to the shores of his long-lost love. Written with a blend of romanticism, erotica and melodic literature, the narrative of this story is unlike anything you’ve read before…
