  Jason Byrne is 17. He has his Leaving Cert under his belt but no idea what to do next. Who better to ask for advice than his dad, Paddy Byrne?
  There's a (very) short stint studying accountancy (he was asked to leave); a FÁS course with juvenile prisoners to become a waiter (his wonky eye was not an advantage); and a job in a lighting warehouse (it ended with a collapsed lung). But no matter the problem, Paddy is always there with a whiskey, a smoke and a wise word: 'Sure, that's life, son. Just don't tell your mother.'
  Follow Jason's hilarious journey to becoming one of Ireland's best-loved comedians in a laugh-out loud book that is a celebration of a generation, of life and of Jason's wonderful relationship with his dad, Paddy Byrne – the man who never gave a b*llix.

  Yentin Ongbou Chang came from a priestly clan. Due to the various rituals it performs, his clan is prohibited from eating beef and mutton due to the odor from the meat. The biography of Yentin Ongbou Chang is the story of a tribal statesman from the Chang Naga tribe of Northeast India. Yentin Ongbou loved his people and helped them to advance. He lived a traditional life through many societal changes in Nagaland and in India. In the early days, his land and people were remote and unreached. The Chang people fought with other tribes, as well as the British and Indian government for many years before becoming a part of the Indian union. He was a government official for over four decades. He was an ancestor worshipper who later followed Jesus Christ. Yentin Ongbou Chang, with only the traditional tribal education, succeeded in having all his eight children graduate from college. He loved education and from very early on he understood the importance of education.  
  Only in recent years, through social media, are the rest of India and the outside world beginning to learn and hear about the people from Northeast India. The geography and the people of Northeast India were not taught in the schools in India. Through The Biography of Yentin Ongbou Chang of a Priestly Clan, we hope we can educate and inform outsiders about the Chang Naga tribe from Nagaland. India is such a diverse country. That diversity is also the greatest strength of India.

  This is small part of introduction of the book: Welcome to the fascinating journey through the life and achievements of one of India's greatest minds, Aryabhata. In this book, we will explore the remarkable contributions of Aryabhata, a visionary mathematician, and astronomer whose discoveries continue to shape our world today. Aryabhata's story is a testament to the power of human curiosity and intellect. He lived in ancient India, during a time when the Gupta dynasty was fostering a golden age of science, art, and culture. Against this backdrop, Aryabhata emerged as a pioneer, propelling our understanding of mathematics and astronomy to new heights. 
  One of Aryabhata's most enduring legacies is the discovery of zero. Imagine a world without the concept of zero - a world where mathematics and science as we know them would be unimaginable. Aryabhata's ground-breaking work paved the way for the development of modern numerical systems, revolutionizing mathematics and facilitating advancements in countless fields.

  How to Begin When Your World Is...

  As a progressive parish minister, Molly Baskette has been a companion during the most vulnerable and unsettled periods of many people's lives. She has also had a front row seat to remarkable human transformation, as many of the ruptures her people lived through turned out to be the way that God got in. But when she was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer at age thirty-nine, with two small children, her theology of and relationship to God was tested more profoundly than ever. 
   
     
   
  Instead of becoming despondent, though, she engaged with her faith more deeply—seizing the opportunity to test the seaworthiness of the faith she had been practicing and preaching. In How to Begin When Your World Is Ending, Baskette shares the questions that confronted her along the way like: Is it true that prayer changes things? Does God care whether we live or die—and is there a damn thing God can do about it anyway? How can vulnerability, counterintuitively, be a strength? And the million-dollar question: is there life after death, and just what might it be like? 
   
    
   
  Weaving together her own story and the stories of those she encountered in her life of faith, Baskette mines joy from all the hardest parts of being human. In doing so she reminds us that whatever you are going through, someone has been there before you, and found meaning in the madness.
