  Sikh Nasalkushi Da Khura Khoj Part - 2: Authored by Gurjant Singh Ball and Sukhjeet Singh Sadarkot 
  Most people know about the Sikh genocide in places like Delhi, Kanpur, Bokaro, and Hondh-Chillar. But the violence didn’t happen only in these cities. Sikhs were targeted in many other parts of India in the same way. The book series "Sikh Nasalkushi da Khura Khoj" is the first of its kind. It deeply studies and explains what happened to Sikhs in different states. The first part of the book talks about events in six states: Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Tamil Nadu. Part 2 of the book continues this research and gives details about what happened in five more states: Manipur, Bihar, Assam, West Bengal, and Jharkhand. You can order it from Sikh Siyasat and get it delivered anywhere in the world.

  Chesapeake Oysters - The Bay's...

  Chesapeake oysters are part of the legacy of the area, history on the half-shell. Hear of their beginning (foot-long bivalves!) through cultivation today. 
   
   
   
  The eastern oyster, the humble bivalve and delicious treat, are the living bones of the Chesapeake, as well as the ecological and historical lifeblood of the region. When colonists first sailed these impossibly abundant shores, they described massive shoals of foot-long oysters but the bottomless appetite of the Gilded Age and great fleets of skipjacks took their toll. Disease, environmental pressures and overconsumption decimated the population by the end of the twentieth century. While Virginia turned to bottom-leasing, passionate debate continues in Maryland among scientists and oystermen whether aquaculture or wild harvesting is the better way forward. Today, boutique oyster farming in the Bay is sustainably meeting the culinary demand of a new generation of connoisseurs. With careful research and interviews with experts, author Kate Livie presents this dynamic story and a glimpse of what the future may hold.

  The Creative Self - Beyond...

  "Be the best you can be!" Practically from the moment we are born, we are taught to optimize our lives—to devote ourselves to increasing our productivity and efficiency, which, we are told, will make us happier and more successful. The imperative of constant self-improvement, however, drains us dry even as it promises to build us up. 
   
   
   
  The Creative Self delves into the hegemony of neoliberal self-optimization and turns to psychoanalysis in search of an alternative. In paired chapters, Mari Ruti and Gail M. Newman examine the works of the psychoanalysts Marion Milner and Donald W. Winnicott. They provide deeply personal accounts of how these thinkers resonate with day-to-day life, exploring modes of selfhood that subtly but profoundly resist the lure and escape the trap of competitive individualism. Milner urges us to relinquish the ego in the face of loss and lack, and Winnicott asks us to accept the paradoxes of the self instead of demanding their resolution. Together, their insights help us flourish where neoliberal self-improvement would stifle us. Combining the intellectual, the personal, and the political from two perspectives that converge and diverge in striking ways, this book offers an antidote to transactional individualism and envisions forms of creative living beyond its confines.

  This book contains the following four titles: 
  - The Cereal Killer: The invention of breakfast cereal marked a turning point in modern eating habits, blending health-conscious innovation with industrial progress. During the late 19th century, many Americans consumed heavy, meat-based breakfasts, which were criticized by health reformers for contributing to widespread digestive issues and lethargy. It was against this backdrop that breakfast cereal was born—a light, convenient, and nutritious alternative that would revolutionize morning meals. 
  - The Millennial Methuselah: The story of the woman destined for a millennium begins in an unassuming town, far removed from the glare of the modern world. Born in an era where tradition met the dawn of technological innovation, her arrival into the world was marked by a profound sense of wonder. Family and friends often recalled the unusual calmness that surrounded her birth, as if the universe had whispered its secrets into her soul. 
  - Perplexing Passings: Unsolved mysteries hold a unique and enduring fascination, inviting us into a world where questions linger and definitive answers seem perpetually out of reach. These enigmas, spanning unexplained deaths, puzzling disappearances, and baffling phenomena, captivate our imagination by defying the order and logic we strive to impose on life. Each unresolved case becomes more than a story; it transforms into a puzzle that teases the intellect and stirs the emotions. 
  - The Unreachable Riches: Throughout history, the allure of hidden treasure has captured the human imagination like few other pursuits. Tales of vast riches buried beneath shifting sands, concealed within uncharted jungles, or locked away in remote mountain fortresses have been passed down through generations.
