"This is a unique account, based on the oral histories given to Agnes Khoo by sixteen women from Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore, of the part played by women in the 40-year guerilla war fought by the Communist Party of Malaya (CPM). The war, which finally ended in 1989 with the Haadyai Peace Agreement between the CPM and the governments of Malaysia and Thailand was a phase in a longer anti-colonial struggle that had begun under the British regime and gained strength during the Japanese occupation. Many of the women were from poor backgrounds, both Chinese and Malay and their accounts describe not only their lives in the jungle, but the reasons they joined the guerillas, and the difficulties some experienced in adjusting to a new life after the fighting ended. Many of the CPM veterans now live in 'peace villages' in southern Thailand." --Book Jacket.

The vital interconnections that rivers share with the land, the sky, and us Rivers are essential to civilization and even life itself, yet how many of us truly understand how they work? Why do rivers run where they do? Where do their waters actually come from? How can the same river flood one year and then dry up the next? Where the River Flows takes you on a majestic journey along the planet's waterways, providing a scientist's reflections on the vital interconnections that rivers share with the land, the sky, and us. Sean Fleming draws on examples ranging from common backyard creeks to powerful and evocative rivers like the Mississippi, Yangtze, Thames, and Congo. Each chapter looks at a particular aspect of rivers through the lens of applied physics, using abundant graphics and intuitive analogies to explore the surprising connections between watershed hydrology and the world around us. Fleming explains how river flows fluctuate like stock markets, what "digital rainbows" can tell us about climate change and its effects on water supply, how building virtual watersheds in silicon may help avoid the predicted water wars of the twenty-first century, and much more. Along the way, you will learn what some of the most exciting ideas in science—such as communications theory, fractals, and even artificial life—reveal about the life of rivers. Where the River Flows offers a new understanding of the profound interrelationships that rivers have with landscapes, ecosystems, and societies, and shows how startling new insights are possible when scientists are willing to think outside the disciplinary box.

This book traces the progress of an Émigré family of Iranian ancestry from ancient times of the royal family of Nadir Shah of Iran via Ashraf Afshar, through many generations, against the larger historical backdrop of the societies and cultures in which they lived. Jacob J Ross (FRSL), a reader from Literary Consultancy comments, "This book has clearly been an enormous undertaking, covering as it does much of the seminal events that shaped the twentieth century as well as the origins of the State of Iran (from 1835 onwards) and the emergence of this country as a major focus in the global, geopolitical and ideological debates of the present century. On top of all this, he has layered his own personal history. ... overall, he has succeeded in writing a book that is often times insightful, at times funny and for me, quite elucidating." The author, Shahrukh, shows how significant happenings around the world affected and wrapped each decade of his life. The 19th century was described as an age of progress. With the help of the telegraph, railway, and steamships, boosting trade, the Europeans imperial ambitions reach its heights of development. Cultural, artistic and political changes emerged that fundamentally modify the way they thought about the world and their place in it. Shahrukh, born in the 1930s in Burma, grew up in a close-knit conservative community, living a life of luxury in mansion houses with servants and nannies in attendance. Then an abrupt convulsion ruptures the serenity of their scene; the Second World War erupts, and seemingly the world implodes around them. Having lost everything they leave Rangoon, fleeing from village to village in pursuit of preserving life, like Nomads, not in search for new pastures, but trying to escape from the British and Japanese bombs, local bandits, and succumbing to disease and death in the jungles of Burma. Many survive by selling their precious heirlooms and jewellery. After the wreckage of war in Burma, they arrive in Calcutta in December of 1945. Shahrukh is eight years old. The authors exploration of the political dynamics that led to the partition of India and Pakistan gives a deeper understanding, not only the 'creation' of Pakistan but the religious and ideological ideas that underpinned its formation. It therefore helps give a better appreciation of the present situation prevailing in that country. In India, Shahrukh and family witness the gruesome communal riots and killings between the Hindus and Muslims. The Great Calcutta Killing, started on 16 August 1946, a day of widespread riot and manslaughter in the city. The force and ferocity of this fury in Calcutta leads to the massacre of about three thousand people within twenty-four hours, with bodies strewn uncounted in the bamboo thickets; vultures fed off them. Starvation threatened to add to the crisis faced by hospitals. At Grammar School he is taught Latin but not Urdu, the local language. He is taught Shakespeare, which he masters, but not Allama Iqbal, the national poet. Their heroes are Nelson and western movie stars. He narrates about the aim of school in trying to produce replicas of English public schoolboys. After completing his Senior Cambridge Exams, Shahrukh gets admitted to D. J. Science College, part of Karachi University. For his Bachelor degree he takes Maths and Physics as his major subjects. In his final year at the college, the Principal appoints Shahrukh as President of the College Student Council. He takes this enterprise very seriously and is determined to make it succeed. After much debate and discussion, a budget is drawn up and finalised; it is printed and displayed on the main notice board. Each programme of the year proceeds with clockwork precision. This is accomplished for the first time in the history of the college; Shahrukh exclaims, "It was worth all the tears, sweat and toil".

Where the River Flows is an honest, poetic, heartbreaking account of how my divorce catapulted me down a yearlong obsession to find the answer to the burning question I had every single day after my husband asked me for a divorce:"Why?"Was it my inability to show him love like he'd told me? Was it an old attachment wound, still unhealed and bubbling at the surface? Was it the sexual trauma I'd never resolved and carried into our marriage? Was it my very real and frequent urge to end my life? Or was it him? Was it his lack of understanding for my mental illness? His lost patience for me as I tirelessly worked through old wounds in therapy? Stress from the yearlong motorcycle trip of his dreams that I vowed to go on, and did just after our wedding day?As I spiraled myself around this question and fell deeper and deeper into a depression, as the binges became more intense and the purges returned for the first time in years, as the urges to die grew stronger and when I curled myself in a ball on the shower floor, banging my fists against my belly like I'd first done seventeen years before, I started to believe that what my husband said to me in our last few days together might be true: "It's like there are three people in our marriage. You, me, and your Eating Disorder. And sometimes I think you love her more than me."If you or someone you know has struggled with an Eating Disorder, sexual or developmental trauma, depression, anxiety, suicidal thinking, divorce, grief, then it is my hope you will find yourself and your loved ones in the pages of this memoir.You are not alone.

The conventional approach to river protection has focused on water quality and maintaining some "minimum" flow that was thought necessary to ensure the viability of a river. In recent years, however, scientific research has underscored the idea that the ecological health of a river system depends not on a minimum amount of water at any one time but on the naturally variable quantity and timing of flows throughout the year. In Rivers for Life, leading water experts Sandra Postel and Brian Richter explain why restoring and preserving more natural river flows are key to sustaining freshwater biodiversity and healthy river systems, and describe innovative policies, scientific approaches, and management reforms for achieving those goals. Sandra Postel and Brian Richter: explain the value of healthy rivers to human and ecosystem health; describe the ecological processes that support river ecosystems and how they have been disrupted by dams, diversions, and other alterations; consider the scientific basis for determining how much water a river needs; examine new management paradigms focused on restoring flow patterns and sustaining ecological health; assess the policy options available for managing rivers and other freshwater systems; explore building blocks for better river governance. Sandra Postel and Brian Richter offer case studies of river management from the United States (the San Pedro, Green, and Missouri), Australia (the Brisbane), and South Africa (the Sabie), along with numerous examples of new and innovative policy approaches that are being implemented in those and other countries. Rivers for Life presents a global perspective on the challenges of managing water for people and nature, with a concise yet comprehensive overview of the relevant science, policy, and management issues. It presents exciting and inspirational information for anyone concerned with water policy, planning and management, river conservation, freshwater biodiversity, or related topics.

Author K. S. Lubinski takes a lot of comfort from his relationship with the river. It has helped him find a level of internal peace that was missing in his younger years. In Things that Flow, Lubinski braids strands of life and work on rivers into poems and essays intended to pass his perspectives and values down to his children and future generations. A river ecologist, philosopher, paratrooper, combat veteran, and diver, Lubinski’s experiences span a wide and diverse landscape of nature and its human occupants. His works share word images of silently watching a deer attempting a hazardous swim across the Illinois River, to listening to an ancient hydrologist castigate engineers along the Ganges River, to building sand castles on a Mississippi River beach, and taking a jon boat ride with Miss Sophia, a retired high school history teacher. Intended to help others experience some of what happens on the river, Things that Flow offers insight into one man’s personal relationship with that special body of water.
