Some people see things as they are and turn them happily out of shape while retaining the core. That is the essence of humour and only a few individuals are blessed with felicity to take everyday situations and give them an extra dimension. Nickunj has this talent in abundance and adds to it that equally rare capacity of her subject. Whether she is messing about experimenting in the kitchen or declaring war on the weighing machine or pulling apart siblings, her 'inside' takes on life as she sees it is replete with lashings of laughter and a refreshing warmth that comes from employing humour sans malice.

Speeches are in themselves an art. Everyone cannot make speeches. They can of course address the people through words, but they cannot be called speeches. Moreover all the speeches that have been delivered are not good. What then is the quality required for the words to form a good speech.Great speeches are not time bound. They are eternal rather they have everlasting impact; very often excerpts from them are quoted by other speakers; thus making them timeless.Some of the speeches included in the book resulted in assassina-tion; execution and war. One of the speeches turned to be very prophetic. It was Martin Luther King's speech-I've been to the Mountaintop, delivered the evening before he was assassinated.Reading the speeches one gains immensely from the contents. It gives an insight to the time, person who delivered it and the audience it was addressed to. The speaker comes alive through his speeches. Therefore it is fruitful to read the speeches and get to know the speaker through them.This book I am sure will enlighten the reader and broaden his/her outlook and perceive the orator and his time in a new light.

It is impossible to imagine the world without science and the scientists. It is the scientists and their contributions that have transformed man and his life from a primitive one to a civilized one. They had to go through many tribulations before what they professed was accepted by the people of that time. Their inventions may seem simple to our eyes today, but to the people of that time they were preposterous.Among the most remarkable similarities that emerge when one considers together these writings from the likes of Albert Einstein, James Watt, Marie Curie, and others, is the sense of wonder and outright awe at what the study of the natural world can reveal. From this book it is clear that science and all parallel attempts to understand our human existence-including fields like philosophy to theology-are viewed as nothing less than grand adventures to those that are probing the limits of what we know.

The urge to explore is an ancient one in the human species. The earliest explorations were driven by physical needs like food and shelter. But later with greater resources at their disposal, human beings became curious abouttheir extended geographical environment and began to venture further from their safe zone.Over time mankind began to recognize that with successful exploration came rewards. In fact access to virgin natural resources was one of the driving factors behind the Golden Age of Exploration during the 15th and 16th centuries when many significant discoveries were made about the geography of the Earth. Again in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, much of the exploration of Africa and Asia were driven by the need to discover and colonize new markets for goods made by European countries.The 20 Greatest Explorers of the World traces these currents in the journey of human exploration by focusing on the most famous explorers in history as well as some lesser known names who are nevertheless responsible for charting new territories. Ranging from classical Greece to the mid twentieth century, traversing all parts of the globe and indeed beyond it, these explorers are testament to the fact that the desire to know and discover has inspired humans across time and space in history.

The Dharmic traditions - Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism - share much in common, notwithstanding a number of variations among them. In all these traditions the scriptures, writings, and practices hold compassion as an integral part and a supreme virtue. This collection of essays by leading scholars from different disciplines aptly captures the essence of the religious and spiritual aspects of these traditions as they relate to compassion. Most of the authors are practitioner-scholars and are experts in their own disciplines, including sciences, humanities, social sciences, law, and religion.The experts met in September 2014 at Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado, for two days of lively deliberations under the auspices of the Uberoi Foundation for Religious Studies, which was established to spread awareness and promote understanding of the Dharmic traditions throughout North America.After addressing the 'central and fundamental' knowledge of these traditions and the common features and interactions among them, the essays here discuss compassion from various perspectives, such as relationship with the natural world and the environment, selfless service, and the treatment of animals. A final set of essays sheds light on the significance of compassion in each of these Dharmic traditions.As a comparative study, this is a unique collection from which a clear picture emerges of the central theme of moral and compassionate conduct in the Dharmic traditions.
