Book excerpt: This book has three plays within - Hole In Heaven...!, Stubborn Stone...!, and Rebellious Rivulet...! Hole In Heaven...!, was staged in the Auditorium of Vishwa Jyoti Gurukul Varanasi, on the 'Philosophers' Day. It enabled the audience to reflect on the perennial theme of Good and Evil. The play is an amalgamation of traditionalism and modernism; romanticism and realism; history and mystery; prose and poetry. (Alok Nag, Dean of Studies, Vishwa Jyoti Gurukul, Varanasi) Blended with philosophical musings and Greek mythological stir, Stubborn Stone...!, has fascinated me. It is a play with melodious dialogues, incorporating in its realm religious values and secular outlooks. As a director of this drama, I would say, I had absorbed the story and accommodated it according to the taste of people from different walks of life. The performance of the actors left the audience spell-bound. (Dr. Ajesh Thomas, Director of the Play) Rebellious Rivulet...!, is a play based on the theme of breaking one's boundaries for the sake of selfless service of other creatures. This play was performed at St. Paul's School, Bijainagar, Rajasthan by the students of the same school. Popular music-bits, songs, and dances were added to it, as interludes, in order to make the play audience-friendly. As a consequence, both educated as well as illiterates, in and around the township, enjoyed it. (Sejal M.S.A, Voice-Organizer of the Play)

Book excerpt: National Book Critics Circle Award—2017 Nonfiction Finalist “Nothing less than a tour de force—a heady amalgam of science, history, a little bit of anthropology and plenty of nuanced, captivating storytelling.”—The New York Times Book Review, Editor’s Choice A National Geographic Best Book of 2017 In our unique genomes, every one of us carries the story of our species—births, deaths, disease, war, famine, migration, and a lot of sex. But those stories have always been locked away—until now. Who are our ancestors? Where did they come from? Geneticists have suddenly become historians, and the hard evidence in our DNA has blown the lid off what we thought we knew. Acclaimed science writer Adam Rutherford explains exactly how genomics is completely rewriting the human story—from 100,000 years ago to the present.
Download or read book Triangle written by Katharine Weber and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2011-02-22 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esther Gottesfeld is the last living survivor of the notorious 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist fire and has told her story countless times in the span of her lifetime. Even so, her death at the age of 106 leaves unanswered many questions about what happened that fateful day. How did she manage to survive the fire when at least 146 workers, most of them women, her sister and fiancé among them, burned or jumped to their deaths from the sweatshop inferno? Are the discrepancies in her various accounts over the years just ordinary human fallacy, or is there a hidden story in Esther's recollections of that terrible day? Esther's granddaughter Rebecca Gottesfeld, with her partner George Botkin, an ingenious composer, seek to unravel the facts of the matter while Ruth Zion, a zealous feminist historian of the fire, bores in on them with her own mole-like agenda. A brilliant, haunting novel about one of the most terrible tragedies in early-twentieth-century America, Triangle forces us to consider how we tell our stories, how we hear them, and how history is forged from unverifiable truths.

Download or read book Redemptive Reversals and the Ironic Overturning of Human Wisdom written by Gregory K. Beale and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “But many who are first will be last, and the last first.” –Matthew 19:30 The Bible is full of ironic situations in which God overturns the world’s wisdom by doing the opposite of what is expected—people are punished by their own sin, the persecution of the church is the catalyst for its growth, Paul claims to have strength through weakness, and more. In this book, biblical scholar G. K. Beale explores God’s pattern of divine irony in both judgment and salvation, finding its greatest expression in Jesus’s triumph over death through death on a cross. Unpacking this pattern throughout redemptive history, Beale shows us how God often uses what is seemingly weak and foolish to underscore his own strength and power in the lives of his people today.
