Folk Narratives: Rituals and Performances reflects the world-view of the traditional societies and it is considered as an Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) of a particular community or society. This study investigates the culture, in a particular sociocultural context, of the multifaceted Tamil society through numerous rituals, offerings, vows, customs, practices, belief systems, performing folk arts, fairs and festivals, dance and music, material culture, etc. which are deeply rooted in their cultural moorings, and practised and closely associated with the folk religion, life-cycle ceremonies and social psychology.   This illustrative monograph systematically documents, investigates and discusses different aspects of ICH of Tamil Nadu — children’s folklore, proverbs, material folk culture, oral narratives, folk gods and goddesses, and ritual practices. A number of colourful photographs enable one to grasp the rich cultural heritage of Tamil Nadu at ease.The monograph will be of interest to scholars and researchers across humanities and social sciences especially those in folklore, anthropology, sociology, cultural studies, religion, ritual studies, art and performance studies. It will also appeal to the general reader.

    To many people, trauma is something that happens to soldiers and refugees, far away and out of sight. But in fact, trauma is the single greatest threat to public health and well-being that America has ever seen. As humans, we are exposed to a horde of trauma, from physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, to neglect, accidents, and the list can go on and on. And while the naked eye can see the immediate effects of that trauma, it is usually the long-term trauma we carry that bogs us down and infects every aspect of our lives, whether we are aware of it or not. 
    Workbook: The Body Keeps the Score not only does it provide all of van der Kolk's teachings about trauma in a clear, comprehensive, and condensed manner—without missing anything important!—but it also allows you to delve deeper into the book's concepts and explore your own personal journey with trauma while prompting you to take action to create a lasting impact.

    A brilliantly witty book about the intertwined lives of psychoanalyst Ernest Jones, surgeon Wilfred Trotter and the guru of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud. 
     
    Welsh-born psychoanalyst Ernest Jones was Sigmund Freud's closest associate and most fervent disciple. Clever, self-confident and intensely ambitious, Jones promoted psychoanalysis as a kind of secular religion. Meanwhile, his intimate friend Wilfred Trotter - a celebrated surgeon who saved the life of George V, and who took on Freud as a patient during his London exile - refused to yield to the seductions of the new Freudianism. A quintessentially English figure, Trotter was unimpressed by slick medical careerists, distrusted grand theories and lacked pomposity and self-regard. 
     
    From the first psychoanalytic congress in Salzburg in 1908 to the illness of King George in the late 1920s and the meeting of Freud and Trotter in 1939, Seamus O'Mahony tells the story of these three figures and their intertwined lives with his customary wit and erudition. Not only the story of the development of psychoanalysis, this is a book about the sexual obsessions of intellectual and bohemian circles in London, Cambridge and Vienna, of Bloomsbury, of doctors in pursuit of wealth and fame. It covers a pivotal thirty years in European history, and reveals how and why the writings of a failed neurologist from Vienna became so influential.

    In the shadows of gleaming skyscrapers and vibrant commercial districts lies another city entirely—one marked by systemic deprivation, limited opportunity, and persistent struggle. Urban poverty represents one of the most complex and pressing challenges of our increasingly urbanized world, where the concentration of wealth and opportunity paradoxically exists alongside pockets of profound disadvantage. This comprehensive exploration delves into the multifaceted nature of Urban Poverty and Inequality, examining the lived experiences of The Urban Poor, and analyzing The Urban-Rural Divide that shapes resource distribution and development patterns across landscapes of inequity. 
    The narrative of urban deprivation is fundamentally a story of systemic contradictions, where proximity to abundance often accentuates rather than alleviates scarcity. By examining the structural forces, policy decisions, historical legacies, and global economic patterns that create and perpetuate urban inequality, this book illuminates the complex interplay between spatial location, economic opportunity, and social mobility in contemporary cities. Readers will journey through the intricate landscapes where urban poverty manifests—from informal settlements and public housing developments to gentrifying neighborhoods and peripheral urban zones—while exploring the resilience strategies, community responses, and policy interventions that address these challenges. Through evidence-based analysis, theoretical frameworks, and human-centered perspectives, we aim to deepen understanding of urban inequality not as an inevitable by-product of urbanization, but as a complex social phenomenon shaped by specific historical contexts, policy choices, and economic systems that can be transformed through intentional, equitable approaches to urban development.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    The Reflective Cosmos invites you on an extraordinary journey through space, life, and consciousness, revealing a bold new vision of the universe as a vast mirror of itself. What if space is not empty, but a dynamic medium shaped by pressure, reflection, and resonance? What if life and mind emerge not as accidents, but as natural expressions of this cosmic architecture? 
    Blending science, philosophy, and imagination, this groundbreaking audiobook explores questions at the frontier of human thought: 
    Is the universe infinite, or does it bend back on itself like a reflection? 
    Could pressure and waves in the cosmic medium explain dark matter, black holes, and the hidden energy of space? 
    How are life, evolution, and consciousness woven into the same reflective principles that guide galaxies and stars? 
    Might information, order, and mind itself arise from the logic of mirrors? 
    From the mechanics of space and time to the mysteries of the living mind, from the breath of black holes to the reflective horizon of infinity, The Reflective Cosmos offers a unified story of existence - where physics, biology, and consciousness converge. 
    This is not just a book about the universe - it is a mirror in which the universe comes to know itself.
