Stories on Lord Shiva series -19...

Anusha HS

Lord shiva is adi and he is only the anthya. He is the sole reason for the happenings in both the movable and immovable worlds. Therefore, it is said that not even a spring of grass will move without his permission. He is the one who has given life to all the creatures. He is also the one who takes away the lives of all the creatures. Sadhus sages and aghoraas practice severe penance without minding day and night on Lord Shiva.

Violence and the Sacred

René Girard

Violence and the Sacred is René Girard's landmark study of human evil. Here Girard explores violence as it is represented and occurs throughout history, literature, and myth. Girard's forceful and thought-provoking analyses of Biblical narrative, Greek tragedy, and the lynchings and pogroms propagated by contemporary states illustrate his central argument that violence belongs to everyone and is at the heart of the sacred.

A Stalker's Brain - The...

John Harpoon

Obsession is often mistaken for love. The idea of someone being unable to stop thinking about you, watching your every move, and doing whatever it takes to be close may sound romantic in books and movies, but in reality, it is anything but. Stalking is not about love—it is about control, possession, and a dangerous detachment from reality. This book delves deep into the psychology of obsession, the minds of stalkers, and the devastating impact they have on their victims.
Stalking is not a new phenomenon, nor is it limited to any specific demographic. From rejected lovers to strangers who become fixated on a public figure, stalking takes many forms. Some stalkers believe they are destined to be with their victims, while others seek revenge or dominance. Many operate under elaborate delusions, convinced that their actions are justified. Understanding these obsessive minds requires an exploration of psychology, trauma, and the social factors that contribute to such behavior.
With the rise of technology, stalking has evolved. The internet has made it easier than ever for stalkers to track, harass, and manipulate their victims from a distance. Social media provides a constant stream of personal information, and modern surveillance tools have turned everyday life into an open book for those determined enough to pry. What once required physical proximity can now be achieved with just a few clicks. Digital stalking is no less terrifying than its physical counterpart—it is often the gateway to something even more dangerous.

Lest We Forget: War and Peace in...

Tessa Dunlop

A moving account of how war is remembered – and by whom
'Impressive. A hundred individual histories, skillfully assembled, built into a poignant meditation on why they still matter' David Olusoga
'Brilliant' Piers Morgan
Bestselling historian Tessa Dunlop travels the length and breadth of the United Kingdom on a quest to uncover a story of national warring and national mourning, of fighting each other and of fighting together. Along the way, she summons a stellar cast of veterans, military experts and families of the fallen to reveal what our monuments and war heroes say about us, both then and now.
Why did Scotland take nearly 600 years to commemorate its most famous freedom fighter? When did Wellington become anti-Establishment? Who are the Glorious Dead? Can the Cenotaph stay above politics? And how do you commemorate contested, asymmetrical wars?
Through powerful veteran testimony from individuals such as Falklands hero Simon Weston and HRH The Duke of Kent, Tessa brings to life the pride and the pain of commemoration across these isles.
Lest We Forget, freedom is not free.
'In this wonderfully incisive, moving and timely book about commemoration, Dunlop breathes life into 100 British monuments – some famous, others less so – that together reveal our island story. A stunning achievement.' Saul David
Dunlop's latest work, Lest We Forget, is a top pick for history enthusiasts. This non-fiction book, set to be a bestseller, explores the conflicts that have shaped our nation and the heroes who have emerged from them.
For fans of Alexander Larman (Power and Glory), Sally Bedell Smith (Grace & Power), J. Randy Taraborrelli (Jackie, Janet & Lee), Betty Webb (No More Secrets), and Michael Smith (The Real Special Relationship).

Racism - The Enduring Battle for...

Marcus Klein

Racism has been a persistent and destructive force throughout human history, shaping societies, cultures, and institutions in ways that continue to reverberate today. It manifests in myriad forms—through prejudice, discrimination, systemic inequities, and violence—targeting individuals and groups based on their race or ethnicity. While strides have been made in confronting this global scourge, the fight for equality and human dignity remains far from over. This enduring struggle is deeply rooted in historical injustices and perpetuated by contemporary systems of power and privilege.
Understanding racism requires a close examination of its origins, evolution, and the ways it impacts communities worldwide. Its foundations can be traced back to ancient civilizations, where societal hierarchies and prejudices began to form, later crystallizing during the eras of slavery and colonialism. These periods institutionalized racial inequality, embedding it into economic, social, and political structures. Even as humanity has progressed, racism has evolved, adapting to modern contexts while retaining its insidious influence.
The importance of addressing racism lies in the profound consequences it has on individuals and societies alike. At an individual level, it strips people of their dignity, identity, and opportunities, often leaving scars that last generations. On a societal level, racism undermines social cohesion, fosters economic inequality, and perpetuates cycles of marginalization and violence. In the face of these challenges, activists, leaders, and everyday citizens have worked tirelessly to dismantle racist systems, foster inclusion, and champion equality.
