When a young prophetess is rescued from genocide by a retired veteran, our prolific duo teams up with a sultry bounty hunter who falls for any heroic heart. Old comrades unite amid the chaotic collapse of a world power, and rebel armies form new alliances. A princess learns of her true heritage while tribes waken powers of olden. A practitioner of occult science self-fulfills temple prophecy by resurrecting his father from the grave, only to realize the Free People he despises have become his only salvation. Many believe these inevitable events were written in the stars from the dawn of time, and prophets are merely observant students of precession who study repetitive patterns within endless successions of natural cycles. Others say it is impossible to predict legendary incidents which happened before and are destined to occur again. Civilizations have come and gone, leaving historical warnings carved on ancient walls. Unheeded and forgotten by myth, eras are reborn to rise and fall until there comes an age when every god's immortality nears its end Set in a post-apocalyptic future, Time's Disease offers the classical allure of mythology with enduring messages very relevant to current events. Futuristic themes revolve around castle landscapes to create this novel recipe: a dash of mysticism, sprinkled by romance and topped by spatters of horror. Sup from hopes cup amid epic tragedy, to partake of this bold tale. Revealed by Illiana Rhea and told by the very characters themselves, this is Laurent In Chains.

This wide-ranging Reader provides a comprehensive survey of the interaction between postcolonial criticism and biblical studies. Examines how various empires such as the Persian and Roman affected biblical narratives. Demonstrates how different biblical writers such as Paul, Matthew and Mark handled the challenges of empire. Includes examples of the practical application of postcolonial criticism to biblical texts. Considers contemporary issues such as diaspora, race, representation and territory. Editorial commentary draws out the key points to be made and creates a coherent narrative.
Drawing on ideas from Charles Sanders Peirce, George Herbert Mead, Kenneth Burke, and Mikhail Bakhtin, this work focuses on the centrality of the social act in describing and understanding the beingness of the human individual, situating such acts in dialogic and rhetorical processes. Such processes enable actors to give presence to their selves and, it is claimed, put them into play by using both a logic and a poetic of identity. These arguments are supported by an analysis of everyday conversations, certain inter-personal encounters, and acts of reading and watching sporting engagements.

This book is written for MBA students and statistics teachers of Anna University affiliated institutions. It is a natural outcome of the author, after teaching statistics several times for MBA students. It is shaped and reshaped several times to heal the heart and soul of non-mathematical community. This book covers all models in all chapters, completely. Problem identification is the most difficult task in statistics for the students. Hence a new approach with short cuts is used throughout the book to simplify this task. This book differs from other books in approaching the sampling distribution. Sampling distribution chapter is usually classified based on standard error, confidence interval estimation and hypothesis testing; or based on the number of sample sets – one sample, two sample; or based on the sample size – large sample, small sample; or based on the statistical tables – such as z test, t test, chi square test and F test. But this book classifies the sampling distribution chapter based on the parameters – Mean, Proportion, Standard deviation cum Variance. Because the very first thing to be decided by any researcher or a practitioner or a decision maker before applying any statistical tool is the parameter to be used and none other! The syllabus is reorganized as per the convenience of the students. 2nd and 3rd unit of the syllabus is reorganized based on the parameters – Mean, Proportion and Standard deviation instead of standard error, interval estimation and hypothesis testing. Similarly the discrete distributions – binomial & Poisson distributions and Probability rules of 1st unit are dealt at the end. Probability rules are grouped based on two models – associated events and successive events. Each Chapter contains illustrations, examples, formula, short answers and exercise.
Becoming Lightning, Becoming Bird concerns a journey of evolving consciousness in a particular woman at the midpoint of her life. It answers the question of how a journey of evolution might appear through a woman's experiences beyond the ideas in R.M.Bucke's Cosmic Consciousness and Joseph Campbell's Hero with a Thousand Faces. Imagine a woman in the middle of her life, in the middle of Oklahoma, shocked into the adventure of awakening by totally losing her way. Her normal world as an interior designer and ever-pleasing wife and mother is turned upside down as she is compelled to break all ties to find a new way of being. From the violent storms and dark nights of Oklahoma, from betrayal and loss of vision, she travels southwest to care for an injured relative and her life changes along the way. Symbol clashes upon symbol and everything becomes a metaphor for transcendence. Trickster helpers masquerade now as mangy dog, now as crow, now as shaking old woman. The temptation to go back to the way she was remains a constant enticement and new temptations forever arise. She's faced again and again with the choice of regression or going beyond. In every moment. Just as we all are.
The revised edition of I.C.S.E. Foundation Mathematics for Class X is strictly in accordance with the latest syllabus prescribed by the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations, New Delhi for Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE) examinations. While revising this book, the latest syllabus as well as the suggestions given by the students and leamed teachers to the previous edition have been kept in mind. To the point and straight-forward approach, as applied in this book, allows pupils to find the subject quite interesting. Some distinctive features of this book are : • Strictly in accordance with the latest syllabus. • Rational, systematic and logical development of mathematical concepts. • All concepts and definitions have been discussed in detail and in a lucid manner. • The materials are class tested and the gradation has been done carefully. • The vocabulary and terminology used in the book is in accordance with the comprehension and maturity level of the students. • Subject matter is supplemented by suitable solved examples. • For each type of question set in exercises, there are a number of solved examples. • Multiple Choice Questions have been added for better understanding of the lesson. • Case Study Based Questions have been added to give a chance to the learners, apply the mathematical knowledge gained, to solve real life problems. • Past years' ICSE questions (up to 2022) have been incorporated topicwise and yearwise. • A well graded collection of questions with hints, wherever required, have been provided. It is sincerely hoped that the present edition of the book would help the students to prepare adequately for the examinations. It is also hoped that as the earlier books, this book too will meet the needs and requirements of the teachers and students alike. Suggestions for the improvement and notice of errors (if any) will be highly appreciated. -Author
