Download or read book Chiko The Bengal Tiger written by Nirvasha Jithoo and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2014-07-15 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chiko-The Bengal Tiger is a fiction picture story book to raise the awareness of the poaching of tigers and wildlife protection of endangered species to children. Poaching of tigers involves the capture and killing of vulnerable tigers and this illegal act is a major threat to the 'Bengal Tiger' which constitutes over 75% of the tiger population in its entirety found mainly in Bangladesh, India, Bhutan and Burma. Human beings are the tiger's top most predator for popular games with trophies and to hold a prestigious status title in some societies. Tigers are brutally killed for traditional East Asian medicine for a range of purposes with no scientific findings to prove that these are really beneficial. Also, the selling of the tiger's fur on the black market with very high profitable gains to a seller is an international concern. This book is an essential read for children to feel the connection of the dramatic tension about the illegal act of poaching and how we as humans should show remorse and responsibility for the protection of wildlife to live a complete life on the planet. Chiko-The Bengal Tiger is a touching bedtime story to be read by parents to their children. The book is also an essential educational tool for teachers to use as part of guided reading, creative classroom group discussions on the theme of poaching and humane character behaviour to protect wildlife on our planet.

Download or read book Plain Tales From The Raj written by Charles Allen and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2015-11-05 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Raj was, for two hundred years, the jewel in the British imperial crown. Although founded on military expansionism and undoubted exploitation, it developed over the centuries into what has been called 'benign autocracy' - the government of many by few, with the active collaboration of most Indians in recognition of a desire for the advancement of their country. Charles Allen's classic oral history of the period that marked the end of British rule was first published a generation ago. Now reissued as the imperial century closes, this brilliantly insightful and bestselling collection of reminiscences illustrates the unique experience of British India: the sadness and luxury for some; the joy and deprivation for others.

Download or read book The Circus Age written by Janet M. Davis and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2003-10-15 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A century ago, daily life ground to a halt when the circus rolled into town. Across America, banks closed, schools canceled classes, farmers left their fields, and factories shut down so that everyone could go to the show. In this entertaining and provocative book, Janet Davis links the flowering of the early-twentieth-century American railroad circus to such broader historical developments as the rise of big business, the breakdown of separate spheres for men and women, and the genesis of the United States' overseas empire. In the process, she casts the circus as a powerful force in consolidating the nation's identity as a modern industrial society and world power. Davis explores the multiple "shows" that took place under the big top, from scripted performances to exhibitions of laborers assembling and tearing down tents to impromptu spectacles of audiences brawling, acrobats falling, and animals rampaging. Turning Victorian notions of gender, race, and nationhood topsy-turvy, the circus brought its vision of a rapidly changing world to spectators--rural as well as urban--across the nation. Even today, Davis contends, the influence of the circus continues to resonate in popular representations of gender, race, and the wider world.

Download or read book The Heart Attack Sutra written by Karl Brunnholzl and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2016-12-13 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide to the famous Heart Sūtra that reveals the tenderness and compassion underlying the striking rhetoric of this popular Buddhist text The radical message of the Heart Sūtra, one of Buddhism’s most famous texts, is a sweeping attack on everything we hold most dear: our troubles, the world as we know it, even the teachings of the Buddha himself. Several of the Buddha’s followers are said to have suffered heart attacks and died when they first heard its assertion of the basic groundlessness of our existence—hence the title of this book. Overcoming fear, the Buddha teaches, is not to be accomplished by shutting down or building walls around oneself, but instead by opening up to understand the illusory nature of everything we fear—including ourselves. In this book of teachings, Karl Brunnhölzl guides practitioners through this ‘crazy’ sutra to the wisdom and compassion that lie at its core.

Book excerpt: Shantideva’s Bodhisattvacharyavatara (A Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life) holds a unique place in Mahayana Buddhism akin to that of the Dhammapada in Hinayana Buddhism and the Bhagavadgita in Hinduism. In combining those rare qualities of scholastic precision, spiritual depth and poetical beauty, its appeal extends to a wide audience of Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike.

This present translation by Stephen Batchelor is based upon a 12th century Tibetan commentary as orally explained by Ven. Geshe Ngawang Dhargyey. The ninth chapter on wisdom has been expanded for this edition with relevant commentarial passages.
