India's fault lines run wide and deep. Some of them go back centuries, others are of comparatively recent origin. The myriad villains these fault lines have spawned include rapists, murderers, terrorists, prophets of religious hatred, corrupt politicians, upholders of abhorrent caste traditions, opponents of free speech and dissent, apologists for regressive cultural practices, and external adversaries who try to destabilize our borders. All of them are responsible for impeding the country's progress, destroying the lives of numberless innocents, usually the poorest and most vulnerable of our people, and besmirching the democratic, plural, free and secular nature of our society. Set against these enemies of our nation's promise are the heroic ones-the poor, illiterate woman who was gang-raped but helped change the nation's attitude towards women through her determined fight for justice; the young soldier whose courage and sacrifice in the high Himalayas was an inspiration to his comrades fighting the Kargil War; the wife whose husband was beheaded by Maoist terrorists, yet sought not revenge but succour for the poor and underprivileged; and the son of the village blacksmith who was lynched by a mob of religious fundamentalists appealing for an end to discord and sectarian violence. These stories, and dozens of others like them, map our country's fault lines. In this book, Barkha Dutt recounts the ones that have left an indelible mark on her. Taken together, they provide a vivid, devastating and unforgettable portrait of our unquiet land.

Leah Frothen has returned home. But she can scarcely catch her breath before she is summoned by regent Darien Serlast, the man who made her a spy. Leah is reluctant to take on a new assignment, but Darien has dangled the perfect lure to draw her in... Leah finds she enjoys the challenges of opening a shop catering to foreign visitors, especially since it affords her the opportunity to get to know Mally, the child she abandoned five years ago. But when the regent asks her to spy on ambassadors from a visiting nation, Leah soon learns that everyone-her regent, her lover, and even her daughter-have secrets that could save the nation, but might very well break her heart.

Oregon Plans written by Sy Adler and has been published by Culture & Environment in the P this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2012 with Business & Economics categories.
Oregon Plans provides a rich, detailed, and nuanced analysis of the origins and early evolution of Oregon's nationally renowned land use planning program. Drawing primarily on archival sources, Sy Adler describes the passage of key state laws that set the program into motion by establishing the agency charged with implementing those laws, adopting the land-use planning goals that are the heart of the Oregon system, and monitoring and enforcing the implementation of those goals through a unique citizen organization. Oregon Plans documents the consequential choices and compromises that were made in the 1970s to control growth and preserve Oregon's quality of life. Environmental activists, farmers, industry groups, local governments, and state officials all played significant roles. Adler brings these actors--among them governors Tom McCall and Robert Straub, business leaders John Gray and Glenn Jackson, 1000 Friends of Oregon, and the Oregon Home Builders Association--to life. "Adler's story is about unusual conditions, purposeful action, dynamic personalities, and the messiness of democratic and bureaucratic processes. His conclusions reveal much about how Oregonians defined liveability in the late twentieth century." --William L. Lang, from the Preface A volume in the Culture and Environment in the West series. Series editor: William L. Lang

Two arrivals in the fishing village of Corrymore unleash a devastating chain of events for people caught up in the turbulence of the Irish Civil War and its aftermath. One is the return of Father Padraig whose mission to "save the souls" of the pagan fisherman Finn MacLir and his daughter Caitlin drives a wedge between father and daughter, threatens the relationship between Caitlin and her pious sister Nora, and awakens a frightful jealousy in the honest but hot-blooded farmer, Michael Carrick, whom Caitlin is about to marry.The second arrival is that of the brutal British auxiliary forces known as the "Black and Tans" who come looking for Caitlin's brother-in-law, the fanatical Republican Flynn Casey. Their raid on Corrymore, about which the villagers had warned Casey and to avoid which they had begged him to leave, has consequences that reverberate throughout the village and drive Casey to seek a terrible revenge.Irish rebels, British soldiers, informers and spies, invading the lives of decent citizens, turn the once peaceful country into the unquiet land of revolutionary Ireland.
