Anywhere But Home

Anu Vaidyanathan

Anywhere but Home is the funny, heart-breaking, unexpected story of a woman who would not give up. As she followed her passion on the roads of Bangalore and across several Indian cities, coaches advised her to get married. She was stuck in sports facilities that lacked basic support systems, even toilets. If she wanted to compete, it would need to be on her own salary. All she could rely on were her own two feet and the seat of her bike. With self-deprecatory humour and characteristic curiosity, Vaidyanathan tells the story of how she found triathlon, how she came to be training in one of the most challenging sports in the world. She writes of her many firsts in the Ultraman, Ironman, Half-Ironman, but also of motherhood and pushing the boundaries of what a body can do. Heart-warming and heart-breaking, this is most of all a tale of love: for a sport and for life.

In this inspiring memoir, “an unfailing champion for all children . . . shares his ever- committed life story . . . What an example he is for all of us” (Marian Wright Edelman, President of the Children’s Defense Fund).   After spending three decades in journalism as a newspaper reporter, editor and publisher, Dave Lawrence dedicated his life to a new mission: making sure every child has a real chance to succeed. A prominent advocate for children across the country, David helped found The Children’s Movement of Florida, an organization that launched in 2010 with the purpose of making Florida’s children, especially in their early years, the top priority for state investment.   In A Dedicated Life, David tells his story from his time at the Detroit Free Press and the Miami Herald to his “retirement” at fifty-six, when he transitioned into his new calling and began making significant strides in Florida’s pre-K programs, parent skill-building, and so much more.   “This special book is the story of a good man who has lived an impressive, fascinating, full life dedicated to his family, his profession, his faith and his service to others, especially the youngest and most vulnerable among us.” —Jeb Bush, Florida’s 43rd Governor   “[A] highly principled man applying his talents and values in a transitioning America.” —Bob Graham, Florida’s 38th Governor and former Senator

The Oldest Code of Laws in the...

Hammurabi

"The Oldest Code of Laws in the World" is a compilation of legal codes created by Hammurabi, the sixth king of Babylon, in ancient Mesopotamia. This work dates back to the 18th century BCE and is one of the earliest known examples of a legal system in human history. 
The codes cover a wide range of legal issues, including property rights, inheritance, slavery, marriage and divorce, trade, and crimes and punishments. They provide insights into the social order and cultural norms of the time, as well as the role of law and justice in ancient Mesopotamia. 
Hammurabi's codes were based on the principle of divine authority, with the king as the ultimate arbiter of justice. They reflected the social hierarchy of the time, with different punishments prescribed for different classes of people. The codes were also designed to promote social order and stability, with harsh punishments prescribed for those who disrupted the peace. 
"The Oldest Code of Laws in the World" is a fascinating glimpse into the legal and moral codes of ancient Mesopotamia, and it continues to be a source of inspiration for scholars and students of history, law, and culture. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of one of the world's greatest civilizations
