Sinossi

Himalayan Kingdoms explores the captivating history of isolated societies nestled in the Himalayas, revealing how geography shaped their unique cultures and interactions with the world. These kingdoms, including Bhutan, Nepal, and Sikkim, strategically navigated regional conflicts and external pressures to preserve their autonomy. Intriguingly, the Silk Road played a dual role, connecting these societies through trade and cultural exchange, while also exposing them to potential conflicts. This book emphasizes the resilience of cultural identities and the strategic importance of the region as a crossroads for trade and power.

 
The book unfolds by first introducing the geographical and cultural landscape of the Himalayas, setting the stage for understanding historical developments. It then examines key kingdoms, detailing their histories, social structures, and cultural practices. Next, it analyzes external pressures from empires and nations, and the strategies these kingdoms employed to maintain their autonomy. Finally, the book explores the modern legacies of these kingdoms, considering their ongoing struggles to preserve their cultural identities in an era of globalization.

 
By integrating historical analysis with cultural sensitivity and geopolitical awareness, Himalayan Kingdoms offers a multifaceted perspective on the region's past and present.

Maharaji Is Always With You -...

Radha Krsna Das

Neem Karoli Baba known to his followers as Maharaj-ji - was a great Hindu guru, mystic and devotee of Lord Hanuman. He is very well known outside India for being the spiritual master of a number of prominent Americans who traveled to India in the 1960s and 70s, including spiritual teachers Ram Dass, Bhagavan Das, and musicians Krishna Das and Jai Uttal. His ashrams are in Kainchi, Vrindavan, Rishikesh, Shimla, Neem Karoli village near Khimasepur in Farrukhabad, Bhumiadhar, Hanumangarhi, Delhi in India and in Taos, New Mexico. Maharaji was a lifelong adept of bhakti yoga, and encouraged service to others (seva) as the highest form of unconditional devotion to God. 
 
There can be no biography of him. Facts are few, stories many. He seems to have been known by different names in many parts of India, appearing and disappearing through the years. His non-Indian devotees of recent years knew him as Neem Karoli Baba, but mostly as “Maharajji” – a nickname so commonplace in India that one can often hear a tea vendor addressed thus. Just as he said, he was "nobody". He gave no discourses; the briefest, simplest stories were his teachings. Usually, he sat or lay on a wooden bench wrapped in a plaid blanket while a few devotees sat around him. Visitors came and went; they were given food, a few words, a nod, a pat on the head or back, and they were sent away.

Verses

Monique Medved

A lyrical exploration of the moments that break us open and the truths we find in the aftermath. 
For anyone who’s ever loved deeply, lost unexpectedly, or stood in the in-between wondering what comes next, these pages offer recognition rather than advice, connection instead of conclusions. 
This is for the feelers, the over thinkers, the ones trying to make sense of being beautifully, painfully human. 
Whether you're falling in love, falling apart, or somewhere in between—VERSES will meet you there.

Bullsh*t Comparisons - A Field...

Andrew Brooks

Bullshit Comparisons will challenge the way you think about rankings, charts, and other marketing and political tools designed to create odious and dangerous comparisons. 
 
 
 
Is Boris Johnson really like Winston Churchill? Are electric cars actually greener than petrol ones? Which is the world's most successful university? Is Lisbon the new Barcelona? Should we compare the achievements of younger and older siblings even when we know it damages their self-worth? We make comparisons every day, but how helpful are they? 
 
 
 
Looking across a dazzling range of situations both familiar and unfamiliar, Bullshit Comparisons is a groundbreaking examination of the role of comparison in modern society, illuminated by examples spanning from the FIFA World Footballer of the year, to wine-tasting in London, hospital care in Sierra Leone, and avocado farming in Colombia. 
 
 
 
Challenging us to think critically about the use of comparison through accessible, personal, and often amusing research, Andrew Brooks reveals the uses and abuses of comparisons in a book that isn't like anything else.
