Book excerpt: AMERI-KHAN: Frontier Duty on the Grand Trunk Road A novel by Gordon King The book lays out in vivid fashion US diplomat David Booth's assignment during the Eisenhower Presidency to open an American Consulate in Peshawar, Pakistan, pioneering an American diplomatic presence in the wild lawless area between the great Indus River and the border with Afghanistan. It included the fabled Khyber Pass, Baluchistan Province in the far south, and the majestic Himalayas in the far north, an area which for centuries had known only the law of the rifle and the rigors of tribal ways. The Grand Trunk Road, alive with legions of walkers and caravans, ended in Booth's district, thousands of miles from its origin in Calcutta. He made a home for his wife and children in Peshawar, opened an official American office, and hired a staff including an advisor who happened to be a member of the ruling family of a northern principality. The new office dealt with a myriad of cultural, bureaucratic and practical crises in the process of getting firmly established. (cont'd on back flap) For example, an elderly American woman died in a local hotel--and her corpse was accidentally switched with that of a tribal Khan, creating a sensation among the Pushtun tribes. An American Colonel, in charge of a training detachment assigned to the Pakistan Army, turned pacifist with messy results. A church bazaar dissolved before a riot. Later, Booth spent five nightmare days in a hospital with bulbar malaria--5% recovery rate--before retreating to his prince advisor's mountain home for a recovery. After two years of further adventures and crises for David and his family, two young Americans from Missouri arrived on foot after endless months of trekking, determined to walk around the world. Despite David's help and advice, the World Walkers managed to insult a local tribal Khan with the result that they were forced to make a quick guarded trek through tribal territory toward the Afghan border--a flight that provoked tragedy. And resulted in David welcoming his transfer orders from Washington.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Honest, compassionate, brave and big hearted' - LORRAINE KELLY 'Celebrates human beings in all their glorious, messy imperfection' - CAT DEELEY Sunday Times Bestseller updated with a new chapter on Amir's experiences during the coronavirus pandemic and being on the frontlines of the historic vaccination effort. 60 hours a week 240 patients 10 minutes to make a diagnosis Welcome to the surgery. Charting his 15 years working as a GP, from rookie to becoming a partner in one of the UK's busiest surgeries, Dr Amir Khan's stories are as much about community and care as they are about blood tests and bodily fluids. Along the way, he introduces us to the patients that have taught him about love, loss and family - from the regulars to the rarities - giving him the most unbelievable highs and crushing lows, and often in just 10 minutes. There is the unsuspecting pregnant woman about to give birth at the surgery; the man offering to drop his trousers and take a urine sample there and then; the family who needs support through bereavement, the vulnerable child who will need continuing care for a long-term health condition; and, of course, the onset of COVID-19 that tested the surgery at every twist and turn. But, it's all in a day's work for Amir. The Doctor Will See You Now is a powerful story of hope, love and compassion, but it's also a rare insider account of what really goes on behind those surgery doors.

Book excerpt: Khan electrified viewers around the world when he took the stage at the 2016 Democratic National Convention.

The oldest of ten children born to farmers in Pakistan, Khan was a university student who read the Declaration of Independence and was awestruck by what might be possible in life. He and his wife instilled in their children the ideals that brought to America, and then tragically lost a son, an Army captain killed while protecting his base camp in Iraq. Here Khan tells readers why we must not be afraid to step forward for what we believe in when it matters most.

Book excerpt: The autobiography of a boxing superstar and Olympic and world champion 'Khan is extraordinary ... To many ... the figure of an Olympic champion turned political icon suggests Muhammad Ali' OBSERVER Amir Khan is a hard-working, twenty-first-century hero: a standard bearer for his Pakistani heritage, his Lancashire upbringing and the future of British boxing. At just seventeen he won silver at the 2004 Olympics in Athens and when he turned professional in 2005 he won his first fight in 109 seconds. Tickets to his fights sold out in hours and he was watched by millions on prime-time television. But his feet were still firmly on the ground - he lived at home with his parents in Bolton, fasts in the holy month of Ramadan and could sometimes be spotted helping out at his uncle and auntie's curry house. Here he tells his story: of a boy from Bolton who just happens to be a world-class boxer.

Talking especially of Aamir films when we talk about Jo Jeeta Vo Sikandar; Lagaan; 3 Idiots; Tare Zameen Par; Rang De Basanti; PK; Dangal and of course how can we forget the popular TV Series Satyamev Jayate; Aamir picked up those sensitive issues which remained usually untouched or unexplored before the society in terms of cinema and he dealt with those social issues in his TV program Satyamev Jayate which is already present in our society and our homes long back and still survive. His program on such critical issues gave light of awareness and when youth saw these true stories; victims; conditions and consequences; they came to know directly or indirectly that it is happening in our homes too. How Aamir grew his struggles and experiences that he has seen thus far; and how he has evolved into an actor; person and how his films create awareness among the people of society and create an impact too remain all about the scripting of this book. This book is not about the person; it is about the way of thinking and urge to serve something to society and take those brave steps which can be lethal too for an actor.

Download or read book Nicholas and Helena Roerich written by Ruth A. Drayer and published by Quest Books. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her latest title, Ruth Drayer provides a factual account of the two Russian visionaries who believed beauty could solve the world's problems and unify humanity. Partners in all things, charismatic Nicholas (1874-1947) was an internationally acclaimed artist, author, daring explorer, conservationist, archeologist, humanitarian and peacemaker, while his wife, Helena (1879 - 1955), was a teacher and healer as well as the inspired co-author of the 'Agni Yoga' series. This is the first book in English to interweave the Agni Yoga writings and the Roerichs' relationship with their spiritual teacher in with their fascinating travels, disclosing the long-hidden story of the Roerichs' connection with Tibetan Buddhism. Though it may read like a tale, Drayer takes us on the real-life adventures of the Roerichs as they travel to the most remote and dangerous regions of India, China, Mongolia, the Gobi, Tibet and Siberia. We bear witness as the couple flees the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 Russia and as they arrive in New York City in the fall of 1920 where they later founded the first school that teaches all of the arts under one roof. We experience their trials and tribulations as the Roerichs trek through the following years.
