This autobiography, set in the social, economic and educational history of Sri Lanka (Ceylon), is an exceptionally informative and entertaining work. Nandasiri Jasentuliyana describes his humble beginnings, his sports oriented youth, and the successes and stresses of his carefully directed education. He recounts the triumphs and tragedies of his adult life with a humor, perceptiveness and profundity rarely consolidated in any single work. Every page rewards the reader with exploding colors in this kaleidoscope of the authors journey through life. Stephen E. Doyle, Honorary Director, International Institute of Space Law ; formerly, White House Counsel on Space and Telecommunications Policy, and NASA Adviser on International Affairs. The authors route from an obscure Sinhala-Buddhist village school in Sri Lanka to the summit of the United Nations was inevitably long, winding and arduous. He left in its wake an outstanding academic and professional track record. The story of the boy from the South, who climbed the dizzy heights of international mountains, overcoming obstacles on the way to the top of the United Nations, is an untold saga, which is revealed in these pages.

This book contains the proceedings of the third in a now-biennial series organized by the Wessex Institute of Technology around the urgent need to determine solutions regarding sustainable development before our planet reaches a point of irreversibility. The aggressive search for new sources of energy and materials, the rapid rate at which natural resources are being consumed, and the destructiveness of the resulting pollution are all having a negative impact on the planet that needs to be stopped, if not reversed. As at the first two, participants at this conference will take stock of our situation and try to facilitate constructive principles and policies for a way forward, something that can only be done by transdisciplinary cooperation. Thus papers will examine ethical, political and social issues, health, safety and risk, lessons from nature, planning and development, and new technologies.

Are you ready to open your mind and stretch your horizons? Randolph T. Cuthbert's stirring collection of thoughts and poems reflects one man's life and his attempts to understand it with all of its many surprises. Cuthbert went through some harrowing moments in his life, from being sexually molested to losing his younger brother in a car accident. In an effort to deal with his emotions, Cuthbert put pen to paper to produce an honest and moving compilation of his personal experiences. Perhaps you will see something of yourself in Cuthbert. Reading One Man's Thoughts may give you the courage to deal with your own life problems. But Cuthbert ultimately hopes his words will "make you think about the world around you and the role that you may play in it. If I can open one mind, free one thought, or stimulate growth in the smallest way possible, then my job has been done."

The effects of light pollution on flora, fauna -including humans and their widely varying night-time activities- are often subtle and need extensive field studies to be quantified in a sensible manner. Some of the highlights were: The presentation of the 1st world atlas of artificial night sky brightness (Cinzano et al.); the article by the International Darksky Association on their world-wide efforts to curb light pollution (Alvarez del Castillo et al.); the laws controlling light pollution implemented in Spain (Diaz et al.) and Chile (Sanhueza et al.), an overview of the work on radio frequency protection of sites (Cohen et al.) and the excellent introduction to the topic from the Chilean point of view (Daud). Related topics in the book are light pollution education, aircraft contrails, space advertising (with an added document provided by the relevant UN commission), and an experiment on involving the population of an entire country in measuring sky brightness, by using the internet and the media. The text is aimed at professionals from a wide range of disciplines related to lighting and its effects on the night-time environment in the broadest sense of the word. Lay persons interested in this emerging multi-disciplinary field can also find much of interest in this book.

Above the land and its horizon lies the celestial sphere, that great dome of the sky which governs light and darkness, critical to life itself, yet its influence is often neglected in the archaeological narrative. Visualising Skyscapes captures a growing interest in the emerging field of skyscape archaeology. This powerful and innovative book returns the sky to its rightful place as a central consideration in archaeological thought and can be regarded as a handbook for further research. Bookended by a foreword by archaeologist Gabriel Cooney and an afterword by astronomer Andrew Newsam, its contents have a wide-reaching relevance for the fields of archaeology, anthropology, ethnography, archaeoastronomy, astronomy, heritage and cultural studies. The volume balances six chapters on theory and methodology which elaborate on the history and practice of the field with six other chapters focused on case studies from around the world. Visualising Skyscapes captures the growing interest in the multidisciplinary study of skyscapes and will be of interest to academics, students and the general public, as well as having international appeal. It is topical, timely and relevant to current debates and will hopefully stimulate further interest in this exciting and relatively new area of investigation. The contributions showcase the work of distinguished academics in the field and the chapters are all enhanced by numerous photographs and images.

These three novellas each shimmer with exactitudes of falling out of love and falling into death, as existence at critical moments renounces normal life for moments of absolute desire. These are narratives of obsession and calamity. Lovers and wives are at the edge of themselves, saying the unsayable, doing the undoable, challenging us to keep our eyes open to the disintegration and pain. At the core of each tale is an erotic intensity. The prose is urgent. The stories are unforgettable. Into the Green Ocean Deep sees a man's last days with a dying lover as they engage in a final burst of transgressive eroticism. Negative Space recites the anguished thoughts of a man whose wife of twenty years has confessed her love for someone else as she packs to leave. In Inviolate, a wife suffers the imminent death of her husband from a fall that has left him comatose. "Once coma defined the limit of her husband's existence for the rest of it he was as well as he would ever be and so his wife at the foot of the bed observed that this was as good as he was going to look."

It has been about two thousand years since the life of Jesus Christ, but his memory has not been forgotten. The Bible is the most read book of all time, and recently movies have come out about Jesus. How then is it that Christianity has gotten so far from the teachings and life of the basis for the belief? We have gone from a man who always showed love to everyone and a man who was poor in earthly standards, to a religion with materialism and elitism. Enter a world where Kings rule and Priests reign. In this world, there are only two countries, and neither knows about the other one. The first country is ruled by the High Priest, who speaks on behalf of the creator. The people of this country have a large set of rules to follow, and because of their morality, they have thrived as a nation. Their city has large buildings, and their temple resembles that of a very powerful King. The people here worship the creator, and they do not tolerate anyone who doesnat believe what they do. The country is divided into two classes: the believers and the unbelievers. The unbelievers are struck with poverty and disease. They are on the brink of annihilation, with no hope in sight. Across the ocean is another country that is ruled by their King. The King is a servant of the people, and he always puts the peopleas needs in front of his own. His family has always been in power, but the King is growing old, and he was not able to have a son, only a daughter. The people of this country do not worship the creator, for they know nothing about him. They put all of their hope in their King. A new man soon arrives to this country, and he catches the eye of the princess. The people look to this man to be their newKing, but this man has ulterior motives for the throne. The only one who can challenge him for the throne is a young man who is in an inner struggle between the forces of evil and the forces of good. You see, the world has not always been this way, for the creator was once the focus of all who roamed the earth. What went wrong, and why did the creator let it happen? Will the forces of dark win, or will light once again cover the world? Will false religion win, or will love?

This book is partially inspired by a legendary tale of Scheherazade in the One Thousand and One Nights. The main character, who narrates in the first person, experiences a series of disconcerting events, prompting her to question and examine her entire life; but she examine it in a larger context of a place and time in which she lives. A revelation, not in a form of cathartic acquittal of all the past fatuities but as an arduous process during which she thinks she may have found the meaning in a seemingly erratic life, set in motion all her powers, spurred memories of all the distant and recent past roles, and emerged as a discovery that the only role she unknowingly performed all her life was a role of an entertainer. She was ashamed at first since she desired a better calling, but the snapshots of her life kept reassuring her that in order to come to terms with her life, she had to accept her role. In the process of recovery, a tale of Scheherazade, in her words, aided the rescue of her self-respect.
