Sinossi

"Sacred Rivers of India" explores the profound spiritual and cultural significance of India's most revered waterways, particularly the Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati rivers. These rivers are not merely geographical features but vital arteries of Indian civilization, deeply intertwined with religious practices, cultural traditions, and the core tenets of Hinduism. The book examines how these rivers embody deities and are central to Hindu cosmology, influencing daily life and shaping societal values.

 
The book delves into the historical context of these rivers, tracing their mentions in ancient scriptures and examining their evolving roles through different historical periods. It also explores the cultural impact of these rivers on art, literature, music, and social customs.

 
By bridging religious studies, history, and environmental science, "Sacred Rivers of India" offers a holistic understanding of the rivers' multifaceted significance. The book progresses from introducing the concept of sacred rivers in Hinduism to exploring the individual histories of the Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati, and culminates by addressing contemporary challenges and proposing sustainable solutions.

    A meticulously researched page-turner about one of the Philadelphia suburbs' most shocking twentieth-century crimes. A gunman broke into Jack and Peggy Abt's house moments after the last family member left for the day. He took a seat in the living room and waited for eleven hours. 
     
    People expect things to go bump in the night, but, in 1976, most adults never fretted a stranger would invade the sanctity of their home in the middle of the day. Six people walked through the kitchen door one by one that afternoon, all expecting nothing more than a Friday night fish fry. The killer leaped out from behind the living room wall over and over and over and over and over and over again. He fired at them at a distance of less than eighteen inches. After each murder, he dragged the body to the basement. Then he sped back upstairs to tidy up for his next victim. 
     
    This story from a news reporter who was on the scene ninety minutes after the killer slipped away is built from autopsy reports, prison records, IQ tests, trial transcripts, the killer's own eidetic confession, interviews with witnesses, and the author's experiences covering the case. With that research, it was possible to reconstruct the six murders, minute by minute. Tension builds as the six innocent victims turn the kitchen doorknob at 3:30, 4:15, 4:40, 5:15, 6:10 and at 6:30.

    Seeing Red - Russian Propaganda...

    The US media has been tainted with Russian disinformation, but the more significant threat is how the Right has embraced the Russian model of the news media as a vehicle for propaganda. This could not have happened without Donald Trump, who has been aided and abetted by politicians and news outlets that favor persuasion over information. From his inauguration onwards, Trump has shown allegiance to the Kremlin propaganda playbook—he consistently denies reality, amplifies lies, vilifies the free media, and broadcasts disinformation. 
     
     
     
    Seeing Red breaks new ground in investigating the scope of Russian disinformation, arguing that key politicians and media outlets in the United States have facilitated the dissemination of Russian propaganda. From the 2020 elections to the Capitol Insurrection to the war in Ukraine, Sarah Oates and Gordon Neil Ramsay examine the penetration of key Kremlin strategic narratives that attempt to project Russian power, blame NATO for Russian aggression, and attack democracy via the US news. Despite knowledge of the risk and resourceful work on tracking down Russian propaganda in the United States, the problem of foreign disinformation continues to this day. As Oates and Ramsay argue, this is in part due to exploitation of the American tradition of free speech and the open nature of the US media system.
