  Sikh Nasalkushi Da Khura Khoj Part - 2: Authored by Gurjant Singh Ball and Sukhjeet Singh Sadarkot 
  Most people know about the Sikh genocide in places like Delhi, Kanpur, Bokaro, and Hondh-Chillar. But the violence didn’t happen only in these cities. Sikhs were targeted in many other parts of India in the same way. The book series "Sikh Nasalkushi da Khura Khoj" is the first of its kind. It deeply studies and explains what happened to Sikhs in different states. The first part of the book talks about events in six states: Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Tamil Nadu. Part 2 of the book continues this research and gives details about what happened in five more states: Manipur, Bihar, Assam, West Bengal, and Jharkhand. You can order it from Sikh Siyasat and get it delivered anywhere in the world.

  Three Wise Monkeys - Through the...

  Volume 2 of Three Wise Monkeys explores Catholic Mozambique's role in the leisure economy of Protestant South Africa, as a place where bachelor miners and Randlords alike could project their fantasies of subtropical exotica, whether in the raucous bars and brothels of the port or in the development of the upmarket Polana Hotel and the vision of segregated 'tourist zones' for race-conscious Rand holidaymakers.
  Mozambique's liminal place in the leisure and entertainment universe was nowhere better represented than in the rise and eventual fall of Lourenço Marques Radio. For decades, LM Radio beamed the hit songs of the day, and a certain vision of post-war modernity, to white South Africans increasingly in thrall to the stifling rule of Calvinist churches, the National Party and the Broederbond-dominated SABC. The eventual triumph of the SABC in muzzling LM Radio was a foretaste of the police state that came to imprison South African minds during the 1960s and 1970s.

  In this unflinching, touching memoir, James LeBlanc recounts his life as a bi-racial adoptee growing up poor among the upper-crust of Berkeley, CA. Abandonment, confusion, abuse and loneliness led to a life of addiction, homelessness and incarceration as he wandered from one coast to another in search of meaning. After surviving a prison riot, he realized he must change, or he would die. Full of resentment yet desperate, James began to seek God and what happened next was a series of events that led to The Miracle and a new life where he discovered the unbelievable story of his origin and the joy and gratitude that comes from second chances. 
  The Miracle will inspire anyone who desires to overcome the obstacles that block the way to peace. As readers travel through James’ journey, they will connect with him as the common emotions of pain, sadness and anger transition to acceptance, forgiveness and finally joy!

  From the celebrated Ursula K. Le Guin, "a writer of enormous intelligence and wit, a master storyteller" (Boston Globe), the revised and updated edition of her classic guide to the essentials of a writer's craft. 
    
  Completely revised and rewritten to address modern challenges and opportunities, this handbook is a short, deceptively simple guide to the craft of writing. 
    
  Le Guin lays out ten chapters that address the most fundamental components of narrative, from the sound of language to sentence construction to point of view. Each chapter combines illustrative examples from the global canon with Le Guin’s own witty commentary and an exercise that the writer can do solo or in a group. She also offers a comprehensive guide to working in writing groups, both actual and online. 
    
  Masterly and concise, Steering the Craft deserves a place on every writer's shelf. 
    
  "A succinct, clear, and encouraging companion for aspiring writers."—Kirkus Reviews

  In podcast form, this audiobook presents part of a CIfA archaeology conference talk and a section of the thesis defense of a 750‑page Classical (Roman) Archaeology master’s thesis awarded full marks at the University of Pisa. 
  Agrippa I, grandson of Herod the Great and Mariamne the Hasmonean princess, lived at the intersection of Roman power and Judaean identity. This study examines his rise, political career, and sudden death, drawing on archaeological evidence, coinage, and literary sources to reconstruct the strategies, pressures, and cultural tensions that shaped his world. 
  First delivered at the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists (CIfA UK) conference in 2021 and later expanded within a University of Pisa master’s thesis, the work combines historical narrative with material‑culture analysis. 
  Part I explores Agrippa’s life and movements within the Julio‑Claudian court. 
  Part II investigates the cultural schism emerging in Herodian Judaea, revealed through elite domestic architecture, imported vessels, and the “pure style” of Judaean workshops. 
  Together, these sections form a rigorous and engaging account of the last king of Roman Judaea, framed as a true‑crime inquiry into the political circumstances surrounding his mysterious death. 
  This edition republishes the material for a wider audience of students, scholars, and readers of ancient history.
