In Gods, Guns and Missionaries, Manu S. Pillai takes us through these remarkable dynamics. With an arresting cast of characters―maharajahs, poets, gun-wielding revolutionaries, politicians, polemicists, philosophers and clergymen―this book is ambitious in its scope and provocative in its position.

मनुष्य ने जब समाज व राष्ट्र के अस्तित्व तथा महत्त्व को मान्यता दी, तब उसके कर्तव्यों और अधिकारों की व्याख्या निर्धारित करने तथा नियमों के अतिक्रमण करने पर दंड-व्यवस्था करने की भी आवश्यकता उत्पन्न हुई। यही कारण है कि विभिन्न युगों में विभिन्न स्मृतियों की रचना हुई, जिनमें मनुस्मृति को विशेष महत्त्व प्राप्त है। मनुस्मृति में बारह अध्याय तथा दो हजार पाँच सौ श्लोक हैं, जिनमें सृष्टि की उत्पत्ति, संस्कार, नित्य और नैमित्तिक कर्म, आश्रमधर्म, वर्णधर्म, राजधर्म, प्रायश्चित्त आदि अनेक विषयों का उल्लेख है।

It's easy to feel forgettable. Nyx literally is, and the condition seems to be getting worse. Homeless and alone, she's at the end of her rope when she stumbles onto Earth Between, a nexus between worlds. The residents may be magical and alien, but they don't have any problem remembering she exists.

Este libro cuenta la violencia de un narco rancho donde hacían rituales de santería y torturaban a secuestrados; de las comunidades indígenas que se resisten a dejar sus tierras a pesar de las amenazas; de las pandillas que le cortan los brazos a machetazos a la gente por no recibir la cuota; de quienes buscan a sus desaparecidos; de los migrantes en el calvario que viven al cruzar por México. Historias que coinciden en que el narco y su violencia son parte de su cotidianidad, pero en las que también hay espacio para la solidaridad y esperanza.

Delving deep into the details and intricacies of 24th-century society, Trekonomics explores postscarcity and whether we, as humans, are equipped for it.

Rocking on front porches, drinking sweet iced tea out of heirloom glasses while indulging in a little innocent gossip is a way of life in the small southern town of Park Place, South Carolina. Reverend Rock Clark is the middle-aged preacher of the Presbyterian Church in town and has made peace with the fact that he is "unlucky in love" and will always be a bachelor. He's become quite comfortably settled in his life, but suddenly a serious car accident involving a mysterious young woman and her daughter throws him into the role of detective.

Life at Nyx's Station has been a little tense of late. There are the fugitives she's hiding, the Harvester of Worlds she still doesn't know what to do with, and then there's the ex-boyfriend she's been avoiding. So when someone from her elusive past shows up in Earth Between, Nyx jumps at the distraction—and the chance to finally get some answers. The only problem is, her childhood friend Seth has no intention of answering any of those questions.

After her latest trip off-planet, Nyx Fortuna has every intention of keeping both feet firmly on Earth. Between trying to figure out why the Kumir have been hunting her friend Seth, searching for a way to destroy the Harvester of Worlds, and getting frustrated by the glacially slow return of her memories, she doesn't have any time for planet-hopping. Unfortunately, the universe has other plans. When she's abducted from Earth Between, Nyx finds herself in the remote reaches of the universe, on planets unconnected to the Station's ley lines.

Kiev A-Morridahn must pay. This is the vow Nyx Fortuna has sworn. Keeping it is all but impossible, but it is the one thing that motivates her. Whatever she must do, she will do. Whatever she must sacrifice, she will give. But if she succeeds, she'll have to reckon with everything she's pushed aside in her quest for vengeance. As it turns out, feelings—and friends—don't like being ignored.

Las Leyes de Manu (Manusmriti) es un texto escrito probablemente entre los siglos II a.C. y II d.C. Forma parte del Dharma-shastra, un conjunto de textos que regulan la conducta moral, social y religiosa en la sociedad hindú. Este tratado codifica las normas sobre castas, deberes, derechos, leyes civiles y penales, y principios éticos que rigieron la vida en la India antigua. El texto está compuesto en versos y aborda temas como: La jerarquía social y el sistema de castas (varna). El deber y la moralidad según cada etapa de la vida (ashrama).

Un podcast ciné sans prétention mais avec passion. A chaque épisode on revisite un film marquant, culte ou oublié, dans la joie, la mauvaise, les digressions et un total amateurisme.

Nyx has finally managed to dismantle the magic keeping her from her missing memories, but things are a bit . . . fractured. Her mind keeps slipping into different points in her past, and she's not always aware of when the present is. The issue couldn't have come at a worse time, because she finally has a lead on the Kumir—the race of identical assassins who have hunted the Hidden to the brink of extinction—but following that lead involves another interstellar trip.

Esta frase—'Mulheres não são chatas, mulheres estão exaustas'—vem sendo uma companheira diária que me faz refletir sobre os papéis que desempenhamos. Por que estamos tão cansadas? Por que sentimos que o mundo está pendurado nos nossos ombros? Por que ainda temos tantos medos e tantas dúvidas, mesmo nos assuntos mais básicos? Só de pensar nisso tudo já dá para ficar exausta. E não teria como não ficar. Mas pode ser mais leve se a gente abandonar alguns penduricalhos que realmente não precisam estar ali. Vamos tentar, juntas, nos libertar deles.
