Book excerpt: A dark past screwed up Qaza and his brother Quazor and it shaped them into hard, uncaring males who don’t give a damn about anything or anyone but themselves. It took ten long years of roaming the planets of the Perinqual Galaxy, wheeling and dealing in order to save enough money to buy their own plot of land, to build their dream – an exotic creature racing circuit. But they can’t escape their traumatic past which scarred them deeply, and now they unleash their pent-up fury onto their female sex slaves. However, an unexpected, strange female turns up with their latest consignment of creatures and she makes Qaza question his actions. Jealous, Quazor becomes even more ruthless and cruel - more cruel than his brother has ever seen him before. Will the female drive a wedge between the brothers and break the unhealthy bond that ties them? Or force them to seek new meaning to their lives? When Victoria and the horses in her care are beamed up into a spaceship, she thinks she’s dreaming. That is until she wakes up in a rancid smelling filthy cell - luckily still with the horses. But the dirty cell and ugly aliens she first encounters are the least of her worries. Reality is about to get a whole lot worse when both the horses and her are sold off to other aliens. One of them is a sexy conundrum she hopes her counselling training will help, but she needs to avoid being the next sexual victim of his schizophrenic brother, all while defending the horses she was abducted with. She’ll do anything to protect them - even if it means putting her own life at risk. Qaza must decide what is most important to him - love or loyalty! Victoria must decide if Qaza’s words of love are real, or are they just another way of getting what he wants?

Both leaders covet the unknown female, and the hunt for her becomes a dangerous obsession.

His desire to claim her sets her on edge, and she's thrust into a race for her life. In this perilous pursuit, where primal urges and deadly pursuits collide, Marcella and the others must outrun the alpha males or face unspeakable horrors. The stakes are high, and the desire burns hotter than ever. Welcome to a world where survival means embracing savage passions and facing alien lusts head-on!"

Download or read book Ghalib written by Gopi Chand Narang and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-10-03 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mirza Asadullah Khan (1797–1869), popularly, Ghalib, is the most influential poet of the Urdu language. He is noted for the ghazals he wrote during his lifetime, which have since been interpreted and sung by different people in myriad ways. Ghalib’s popularity has today extended beyond the Indian subcontinent to the Hindustani diaspora around the world. In this book, Gopi Chand Narang studies Ghalib’s poetics by tracing the archetypical roots of his creative consciousness and enigmatic thought in Buddhist dialectical philosophy, particularly in the concept of shunyata. He underscores the importance of the Mughal era’s Sabke Hindi poetry, especially through Bedil, whom Ghalib considered his mentor. The author also engages with Ghalib criticism that has flourished since his death and analyses the important works of the poet, including pieces from early Nuskhas and Divan-e Ghalib, strengthening this central argument. Much has been written about Ghalib’s life and his poetry. A marked departure from this dominant trend, Narang’s book looks at Ghalib from different angles and places him in the galaxy of the great Eastern poets, stretching far beyond the boundaries of India and the Urdu language.
Download or read book Beloved Delhi written by Saif Mahmood and published by . This book was released on 2018-09-10 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'A riveting resurrection of the city of poets, the city of history, Saif Mahmood's learned and evocative book takes us to the heart of Delhi's romance with Urdu verse and aesthetics.'--Namita Gokhale Urdu poetry rules the cultural and emotional landscape of India--especially northern India and much of the Deccan--and of Pakistan. And it was in the great, ancient city of Delhi that Urdu grew to become one of the world's most beautiful languages. Through the 18th and 19th centuries, while the Mughal Empire was in decline, Delhi became the capital of a parallel kingdom--the kingdom of Urdu poetry--producing some of the greatest, most popular poets of all time. They wrote about the pleasure and pain of love, about the splendour of God and the villainy of preachers, about the seductions of wine, and about Delhi, their beloved home. This treasure of a book documents the life and work of the finest classical Urdu poets: Sauda, Dard, Mir, Ghalib, Momin, Zafar, Zauq and Daagh. Through their biographies and poetry--including their best-known ghazals--it also paints a compelling portrait of Mughal Delhi. This is a book for anyone who has ever been touched by Urdu or Delhi, by poetry or romance.
Download or read book Intercivilisational Social Theory written by Seyed Javad Miri and published by . This book was released on 2007-10-01 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In its broadest ambition, sociology aims to better understand the human predicament. Despite this, modern social theory is grounded in a decidedly Western disciplinary rationality modernist, developmentalist, naturalistic, and secular. Yet, the fact is that human beings exist in multiple diverse traditions, including transcendental, authentic/liberative, and religious. A paradigm of comparative social theory, then, would enlarge our craft's theoretical apparatus: A "hermeneutic cultural positivity" model that has both intercivilisational and existentialistic aspects will put at sociology's disposal a vast array of comparative and analytical concepts to address contemporary global issues in an intercivilisational dialogue. Specifically, social theory which considers major problems in relation to existential questions reveals commonalities among Western and Muslim intellectual traditions. The major elements of "social" theory human nature, community, religion, the sacred, the secular, and authenticity are here deconstructed from both perspectives, as understood by two representative theorists from each tradition, who all agree that modernity poses both a possibility for and a danger to human existence. Goffman's sociology is based on symbolic and discursive social theory, while Giddens defends social democracy and the "Third Way." Despite these theorists' absence of transcendental consciousness both focus strongly on existential concerns (as distinguished from religious concerns). By the same token, in the Muslim tradition of liberation theology, existential concerns are equally crucial social issues in Iqbal's modern traditionalism and Shariati's post-colonial Islamist modernisation. Considering these four thinkers within this comparative model can create a new vision for tackling world problems by demonstrating their respective theories' inherent strengths and weaknesses i.e., their potential contributions. Without understanding both intellectual traditions in these seemingly different civilizations, we are not able to reach the constructive understanding at the basis of meaningful co-existence. On the modern global stage, reinventing the sociological tradition on an intercivilisational basis can bring fundamental change to intellectual engagements. Rather than incommensurable agents imprisoned by our mental and social structures, we can choose between disagreement, clash, confrontation, and dialogue.
Download or read book Mental Health in China written by Jie Yang and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-11-10 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China's massive economic restructuring in recent decades has generated alarming incidences of mental disorder affecting over one hundred million people. This timely book provides an anthropological analysis of mental health in China through an exploration of psychology, psychiatry, psychotherapy and psychosocial practices, and the role of the State. The book offers a critical study of new characteristics and unique practices of Chinese psychology and cultural tradition, highlighting the embodied, holistic, heart-based approach to mental health. Drawing together voices from her own research and a broad range of theory, Jie Yang addresses the mental health of a diverse array of people, including members of China's elite, the middle class and underprivileged groups. She argues that the Chinese government aligns psychology with the imperatives and interests of state and market, mobilizing concepts of mental illness to resolve social, moral, economic, and political disorders while legitimating the continued rule of the party through psychological care and permissive empathy. This thoughtful analysis will appeal to those across the social sciences and humanities interested in well-being in China and the intersection of society, politics, culture, and mental health.
