Synopsis

"Icebreaker Ships" presents a fascinating journey through the evolution of specialized vessels that transformed polar exploration and maritime commerce, beginning with the pivotal moment when HMS Terror became trapped in Arctic ice in 1837.This comprehensive exploration reveals how human ingenuity responded to the challenges of navigating ice-filled waters, chronicling the progression from early wooden-hulled ships to today's sophisticated nuclear-powered vessels. The book masterfully weaves together three essential narratives: the engineering breakthroughs that enabled ice navigation, the historical significance of these vessels in polar exploration, and their contemporary roles in maintaining global maritime operations.Through detailed analysis of ship engineering documents, expedition logs, and crew interviews, readers discover how innovative hull designs, advanced propulsion systems, and specialized ice management equipment revolutionized Arctic navigation. Organized chronologically, the text bridges the gap between technical expertise and historical significance, making complex engineering concepts accessible to general readers while maintaining depth for maritime professionals.The narrative explores how icebreakers have shaped everything from international trade routes to scientific research missions, demonstrating their crucial role in climate science, polar research, and commercial shipping. This unique intersection of maritime engineering, historical exploration, and modern applications offers readers a comprehensive understanding of these remarkable vessels that continue to define polar operations.

    When you think of 'gambling' you might think of Vegas casinos, betting shops and football flutters but the risk of gambling is embedded in numerous corners of popular culture that many of us consume.
    By considering the concept of 'soft gambling', No Dice asks how we could possibly link the Pokémon Trading Card Game with gambling. Can we compare Netflix to a night at the theatre? When does fictional gambling within video games go too far with their infamous loot boxes? Does such risk affect everyone or are socio-economic divides driving further inequality?
    No Dice explores the messy world of gambling and risk that we encounter regularly, from childhood through adulthood, considering if it is worth the risk and if we even know what risks we might be taking.

    “The work Ruby is doing is liberating.”—Glennon Doyle, New York Times bestselling author of Untamed“A startling, confronting, and liberating treatise.” —Holly Whitaker, New York Times bestselling author of Quit Like a WomanWhat is “woman” if not “mother”? Anything she wants to be.Foregoing motherhood has traditionally marked a woman as “other.” With no official place setting for her in our society, she has hovered on the sidelines: the quirky girl, the neurotic career obsessive, the “eccentric” aunt. Instead of continuing to paint women without kids as sad, self-obsessed, or somehow dysfunctional, what if we saw them as boldly forging a first-in-a-civilization vision for a fully autonomous womankind? Or as journalist and thought leader Ruby Warrington asks, What if being a woman without kids were in fact its own kind of legacy?Taking in themes from intergenerational healing to feminism to environmentalism, this personal look and anthropological dig into a stubbornly taboo topic is a timely and brave reframing of what it means not to be a mom. Our experiences and discourse around non-motherhood are central to women’s ongoing fight for gender equality. And whether we are childless by design or circumstance, we can live without regret, shame, or compromise.Bold and tenderhearted, Women Without Kids seeks first and foremost to help valorize a path that is the natural consequence of women having more say about the choices we make and how our lives play out. Within this, it unites the unsung sisterhood of non-mothers—no longer pariahs or misfits, but as a vital part of our evolution and collective healing as women, as humans, and as a global family.

    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. 
    He blesses his devotees with boons. He is called Bole Shankar. All recite his five syllabled mantra or panchakshari mantra " om Namah Shivaya" which is the most popular one among all the other mantras. Lord Shiva who is also called Parameswara is the one who has got no birth and death. He is only the beginning and he is the end. Nandi which happens to be the vehicle of Lord Shiva is a bull.

    Corpse Care relates the history of death care in the US to craft robust, constructive, practical ethics for tending the dead. It specifically relates corpse care to economic, environmental, and pastoral concerns. 
     
     
     
    Death and the treatment of the dead body loom large in our collective, cultural consciousness. The authors explore the materiality and meaning of the dead body and the living's relationship to it. All the biggest questions facing the planetary human community relate in one way or another to the corpse. Surprisingly, Christian communities are largely missing in the discussion of the dead, having abdicated the historic role in care for the dead to the funeral industry. Christianity has stopped its reflection about the body once that body no longer bears life. Corpse Care stakes a claim that the fact of embodiment, this incarnational truth, this process of our bodily becoming, is a practical, ethical, and theological necessity.
