Beschreibung

Manu-Smr̥ti is one of the most coveted and popular works of ancient India. It comprises codes that are needed for an ideal, peaceful and harmonious society. The entire Manu-Smr̥ti revolves around the Vedic concept of r̥ta or dharma. The concepts of puruṣārthas, āsramas and varṇas have their roots in dharma. These concepts were meant to make the life of every member of the society fruitful and purposeful. The codes prescribed by Manu became an authority on ancient laws and were put in practice. The scholars working in different fields of sociology, religion, philosophy, ethics, ancient laws and politics are bound to consult Manu-Smr̥ti for some reason or the other.The present book is an effort to bring together all scattered materials related to different topics contained in Manu-Smr̥ti. The book also aims to diffuse many of the doubts related to certain topics contained in Manu-Smr̥ti, for example, status of brāhmaṇa, śūdra and woman. The analysis of topics such as human values, rāja-dharma and Manu’s codes on crime and punishment has been presented in this book in a lucid style. All these topics bear great relevance even in modern times. The volume tries to maintain the originality of Manu’s concepts through rational and honest approach. The book also includes few modern subjects like economics, ecosystem management and biodiversity conservation that have been dealt by Manu in a scientific manner.This book will benefit all those who want to know about the rules and practices that governed our ancient history, pertaining to all the aspects of human life.

    The inspiring and thrilling combat memoir of the only Army Ranger serving in direct combat operations with a prosthetic limb.On October 3, 2005, Kapacziewski and his soldiers were coming to the end of their tour in Northern Iraq when their convoy was attacked by enemy fighters. A grenade fell through the gunner's hatch and exploded, shattering Kapacziewski's right leg below the knee, damaging his right hip, and severing a nerve and artery in his right arm.He endured more than forty surgeries, but his right leg still wasn't healing as he had hoped, so in March 2007, Kapacziewski chose to have it amputated with one goal in mind: to return to the line and serve alongside his fellow Rangers. One year after his surgery, Kapacziewski accomplished his goal: he was put back on the line, as a squad leader of his Army Ranger Regiment.On April 19, 2010, during his ninth combat deployment (and fifth after losing his leg), Kapacziewski's patrol ran into an ambush outside a village in eastern Afghanistan. After a fellow Ranger fell to withering enemy fire, shot through the belly, Sergeant Kap and another soldier dragged him seventy-five yards to safety and administered first aid that saved his life while heavy machineguns tried to kill them. His actions earned him an Army Commendation Medal with "V" for Valor. He had previously been awarded a Bronze Star for Valor—and a total of three Purple Hearts for combat wounds.Back in the Fight is an inspiring and thrilling tale readers will never forget.

    Why War?

    Why has war been such a consistent presence throughout the human past? A leading historian explains, drawing on rich examples and keen insight. 
     
     
     
    Richard Overy is not the first scholar to take up the title question. In 1931, at the request of the League of Nations, Albert Einstein asked Sigmund Freud to collaborate on a short work examining whether there was "a way of delivering mankind from the menace of war." Published the next year as a pamphlet entitled Why War?, it conveyed Freud's conclusion that the "death drive" made any deliverance impossible—the psychological impulse to destruction was universal in the animal kingdom. The global wars of the later 1930s and 1940s seemed ample evidence of the dismal conclusion. 
     
     
     
    A preeminent historian of those wars, Overy brings vast knowledge to the title question and years of experience unraveling the knotted motivations of war. His approach is to separate the major drivers and motivations, and consider the ways each has contributed to organized conflict. They range from the impulses embedded in human biology and psychology, to the incentives to conflict developed through cultural evolution, to competition for resources. The discussions show remarkable range, delving deep into the Neolithic past, through the twentieth-century world wars, and up to the current conflict in Ukraine.

    Maya mythology stands as one of the most intricate and profound systems of stories and beliefs in the ancient world, reflecting the depth of a civilization that thrived for thousands of years. These myths, preserved through oral traditions and later written texts such as the Popol Vuh, reveal the Maya’s understanding of the cosmos, their relationship with nature, and their spiritual connection to the divine. To study these myths is to step into a world where gods, humans, and nature are inseparably intertwined in a sacred dance of creation, destruction, and renewal.  
    The mythology of the Maya was not an isolated system of stories—it was deeply embedded in every aspect of their daily lives. From the way they organized their cities to the structure of their calendar, mythology shaped their worldview and guided their actions. The Maya believed that time itself was sacred, governed by cycles dictated by the gods, and their myths often sought to explain these patterns. The stories told by the Maya were not mere entertainment but vital teachings that conveyed the origins of life, the roles of the gods, and humanity’s responsibilities within the cosmic order.  
    A central feature of Maya mythology is its focus on creation. Myths like those found in the Popol Vuh detail the origins of the world, the struggles of the gods, and the creation of humanity. These stories emphasize the cyclical nature of existence, portraying creation and destruction as ongoing processes that ensure balance in the universe. For the Maya, myths served as reminders of humanity’s dependence on divine forces and the need to honor the gods through rituals, ceremonies, and offerings.
