In this first scholarly work on India's great modern poet, Laetitia Zecchini outlines a story of literary modernism in India and discusses the traditions, figures and events that inspired and defined Arun Kolatkar. Based on an impressive range of archival and unpublished material, this book also aims at moving lines of accepted genealogies of modernism and 'postcolonial literature'. Zecchini uncovers how poets of Kolatkar's generation became modern Indian writers while tracing a lineage to medieval oral traditions. She considers how literary bilingualism allowed Kolatkar to blur the boundaries between Marathi and English, 'Indian' and 'Western sources; how he used his outsider position to privilege the quotidian and minor and revived the spirit of popular devotion. Graphic artist, poet and songwriter, storyteller of Bombay and world history, poet in Marathi, in English and in 'Americanese', non-committal and deeply political, Kolatkar made lines wobble and treasured impermanence. Steeped in world literature, in European avant-garde poetry, American pop and folk culture, in a 'little magazine' Bombay bohemia and a specific Marathi ethos, Kolatkar makes for a fascinating subject to explore and explain the story of modernism in India.

The Qur'an is the living source of all Islamic teaching, and is of singular importance to those interested in Islam and the study of religions. Despite this, there exists a long-felt lack of research tools for English first-language speakers who wish to access the Qur'an in the original Arabic. The "Dictionary of Qur'anic Usage" is the first comprehensive, fully-researched and contextualised Arabic-English dictionary of Qur'anic usage, compiled in accordance with modern lexicographical methods by scholars who have a lifelong immersion in Qur'anic Studies. Based on Classical Arabic dictionaries and Qur'an commentaries, this work also emphasises the role of context in determining the meaning-scatter of each vocabulary item. Illustrative examples from Qur'anic verses are provided in support of the definitions given for each context in which a particular word occurs, with cross-references to other usages. Frequently occurring grammatical particles are likewise thoroughly explained, insofar as they are used in conveying various nuances of meaning in the text.

"Does one honor one's country or one's heart?" Malka Marom explores this classic dilemma in her stunningly powerful first novel, an extraordinary tale of people caught up in a violent and seemingly endless historical conflict, compelled by love and grief to transcend it. "Sulha" tells the story of Leora, who, twenty years after her husband was killed in the Sinai War, is empowered by law to decide whether or not to allow her only son to serve high-risk duty as his father did. As Abraham was so severely tested, so is Leora with her son's fate in her hands. Charged with this burden, Leora leaves her uneasy exile in Toronto and ventures to Sinai. In the remote and treacherous mountain region of Sinai, Leora encounters a Bedouin clan, which offers her a glimpse of the other: the mysterious Arab world that so fascinated her as a child, the enemy that her son might face. And, indeed, mounting danger and mystery pervade the air of the Bedouin compound. "But are these people really the enemy?" "Is sulhaOCoforgiveness, reconciliation, peaceOConot possible here?" The modern Israel to which Leora then travels offers no clear answers and a deep enmity towards her. To her former compatriots, she is the otherOCooutsider, exile, even a deserter from the land to which her husband gave his life to defend. "Sulha "is the story of one woman's search for the answer to her son's future, and through it the reconciliation of her own fragmented past. In the process, it explores the interlocking and sometimes irreconcilable boundaries of love and loyaltyOCoto a person, a people, a land. This updated eBook edition of Sulha has been enhanced with an extensively annotated appendix of photographs taken by the author while she lived and roamed the desert with the Bedouins, as well as a series of questions designed as conversation starters for book clubs."

Five thousand years ago, a spaceship from far away mysteriously crash-lands on Earth. The crew senses an evil presence on the planet but, nevertheless, settles in. Since their ship is irreparable, and they have no communication with their home planet, they have no choice but to make Earth their new home. Eventually, the crew intermixes with the primitive natives of Earth. Three thousand years pass, and Sathel, the head of the Xerxes Galaxy, becomes intrigued by a phenomenon he has noticed occurring across the universethe occasional arrival of a messianic individual on a primitive planet, signaled by an unusual star. When such a signaling star is noted over Earth, he sends an investigatory expedition to find out more about this messiah, the fifteenth, according to his count. His instructions are for the investigators to enter the society incognito and observe the messiah as closely as possible and then report back. Enemies of Sathel send hostile forces to Earth at about the same time, and their goal is the destruction of the messiah. Toler is Sathels spy, and he is given one crew member, Sarn, a young man without any experience and totally ignorant of the nature of the expedition. Toler is angry at the apparent shortsightedness of Sathel but decides to go ahead with his mission. Toler and Sarn develop a close relationship as they meet up with the hostile forces from back home. Inevitably, they become involved with Earth people, including Aleah, an innocent young girl, and Mary Magdalene. At times they also all move among the disciples and interact with the messiah. They meet up with Lish, an eccentric solo investigator from back home, who has spent twenty years on Earth searching for evidence of the original crash landing three thousand years before. The hostile forces sent to sabotage the messiah become controlled by the evil force already inhabiting the planet. Toler and Sarn become instruments used by the good force embodied in the messiah. It becomes an epic battle of good versus evil. New Testament events are woven through the telling, bringing a new dimension to the saga of good versus evil, an age-old conflict of universal proportions. The story ends with Toler and Sarn returning to their home planet and confronting Sathel for having placed them in great peril on Earth. All is explained, except for one question.

The First World War claimed over 995,000 British lives, and its legacy continues to be remembered today. Great War Britain: Swindon offers an intimate portrayal of the town and its people living in the shadow of the 'war to end all wars'. A beautifully illustrated and highly accessible volume, it describes local reaction to the outbreak of war; charts the experience of individuals who enlisted; the changing face of industry; the work of the many hospitals in the area; the effect of the conflict on local children; the women who defied convention to play a vital role on the home front; and concludes with a chapter dedicated to how the town and its people coped with the transition to life in peacetime once more. The Great War story of Swindon is told through the voices of those who were there and is vividly illustrated through evocative images, many from private collections.

In their earlier grades they had always joined each other on the playground swings but after Albert Ray convinced Al that if they moved the playground swing fast enough and high enough eventually the swing would make a loop and they would be the first in school to make a loop on the school swings. So each day they would make the swings go as fast and as high as they could. When the day came that Al went too high and the swing stalled and fell straight down; he held on for dear life as the fall from 15 feet high that broke the swing seat and one of the chains holding the seat. The teachers got involved and questioned their sanity and mentioned something called Physics that neither Al nor Albert Ray understood or believed because to them looping a swing was as simple as tying a rock on a string, holding the string in your hand and then swinging the rock until it looped around your finger.
