From the streets of West Berlin to the lush tropical climes of Bali, from New Delhi to New York - these stories follow characters faced with choices that could send their lives in different and sometimes opposite directions. A daughter who wants more from life, a father who contemplates ending his; a love lost, a love retained, a love forgotten. Regret, retribution and remorse are liberally sprinkled through this diverse and eclectic collection of short stories. In surprising, vivid and thought-provoking journeys across continents, cultures and landscapes, an indubitable truth emerges - human emotions are essentially the same world over. Savour this collection of tales that range from smooth to dark, nutty to silly, and bitter to sweet. Which story would you like to bite into today? ***** Reader reviews: "Truly like a box of chocolates, something for everyone, lovely short stories. There’s dark, light, salty, and sweet, my favorites being the darker stories! I always enjoy the author’s beautifully descriptive prose, takes me away to far flung locales, exactly what we all need these days!" "As per her usual style each story draws you in from the very first sentence. Each story has a completely different narrator and is written in beautifully rich prose. In this book the stories are set in different countries and even ages. But Poornima took care to enter a little commonality into each story, thus connecting the individual stories. Clearly the theme for this book was ‘a story with a twist’. A joy to read!" "This was a very enjoyable book with varied themes, different voices and locations - all from one very talented author. I will be adding more of her books to my reading list and would encourage anyone who is not familiar with her to give her a try."

Book excerpt: Ten Thousand Days is the tale of Aark, father, husband, post-feminist man of the twenty first century who embarks on a journey of self-discovery in the Empty Quarter of the Arabian Desert. Life’s great challenges have brought a craftsman into the midst of an ancient Bedouin community. Unbeknown to himself he is travelling into the truth of an ancient prophesy. He is a holy man lost in Gods great cauldron of nature. He has a lesson to learn and one to teach. Aark is dying, yet his life has meaning beyond many and his mission more vital than most. He is an inventor of necessity, in a landscape of great need. In a place where life and death cling by a filament, Aark becomes not only a survivor but a saviour to those in his orbit. As we journey with him through the last sands of his time in life, we learn of his trials, the past that haunts him, his failed marriage, his greatest hopes. We are renewed with Aark as his spirit repairs through invention and discovery. Aark is as close as modern man gets to the incarnation of a saint. He has overcome the complexities of modern living, and yet managed to maintain his spirit intact. Come, travel with Aark, a lost soul, who life has catapulted into the sparse dangerous world of the desert. Join in the magic realism of a secret allegorical world of twenty first century man. Quench spiritual thirst and satisfy emotional hunger as together you learn how survival is not the only lesson taught by the desert inhabitants. Weave your way through this beguiling tale and trust the path of a man whose spirit, although bruised by the inadequacies of life in the real world, remains unbroken. Feel his anguish as you share the thrilling roller coaster spirals of Aark’s descent into an abyss of paranoia and memory loss, only to be rescued by his own fortitude and strength of character. Wonder in awe as you rediscover the ancient art of water harvesting in God’s fiery cauldron. Gain a deeper understanding of the hardships endured by its inhabitants simply to ensure the basics of life are sustained. Journey with Aark through this mysterious stunning landscape. You may, like Aark, find within a deep fresh rejuvenating source of spiritual nourishment and healing. Wander together as he weaves onward to an inevitable release from his inner turmoil, and travel home, with a greater understanding of self and the fragility of life. Embark on this journey through the traumatic realities faced by us all, as we endure the complexities of modern life. Discover sensitively and unobtrusively how through determination and inner resolve we can overcome the challenges of contemporary living. Learn from Aark how to nurture and sustain relationships in greater equilibrium. Enjoy this story of the triumph of hope over despair. Let its simplicity transform or delve deeper, if so desired. Only the brave need journey on….

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Around the World in 80 Ways offers a (sometimes opinionated) discussion of 80 data-driven maps of our planet. Taken together, the maps tell a story about the physical world; about the impact our species is having on the world; and about how people live in the world – or at least how we lived immediately before the emergence of Covid-19. The maps lie. All maps lie. But the origins of the deceptions are explained, the data sources are signposted and referenced, and the readers are shown how to create their own maps using freely available software. The reader is thus armed with the tools needed to explore local, national or world data – on topics ranging from science to society; environment to entertainment; wealth to wellbeing – a valuable skill in an age when certain politicians are happy to refer to “alternative facts” and media outlets deliver data visualizations that sometimes mislead as much as inform.

Book excerpt: Exploring Popular World Music is the first introductory level text written to introduce students to popular music styles from around the world. Focusing on styles that all students will know -- from Reggae to Klezmer, from Afro-Pop to Kodo drums--the book offers a comprehensive, listening-oriented introduction to the world's popular musical cultures. Each chapter will focus on a specific music style and its associated geographic locale. The salient musical and cultural features associated with each example are discussed in detail to increase our appreciation of the music. Relevant artists will be highlighted and suggestions for further reading and listening will be offered. By the end of the book, the student should be able to 1) recognize a variety of world music styles, 2) articulate musical and cultural knowledge associated with each style, and 3) identify important artists related to the genre. Supplementing the text will be a web site fcreated by the author) featuring the author's world music map, enabling students to explore pop music cultures as they relate to each other; as well as an iTunes playlist for all the highlighted selections in the book. This book should strongly appeal to Intro to World Music Courses for non-majors who wish to study popular rather than traditional musics of the world, which would encompass a large majority of students enrolled in these courses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book paints a portrait of adolescent psychology in 4 major regions: Africa/the Middle East, Asia, the Americas, and Europe. Featuring 24 revised and updated chapters from the International Encyclopedia of Adolescence (2007), readers are introduced to the way the majority of the world’s adolescents actually live. Most contributors are indigenous to the country they review. As a whole the book paints an engaging panorama of adolescent life around the world, broadening students’ cultural perspective. All chapters follow the same template to make it easier to compare topics across countries: Background (including demographics, ethnic diversity, and political system), Period of Adolescence, Beliefs, Gender, the Self, Family Relationships, Friends and Peers/Youth Culture, Love and Sexuality, Health Risk Behavior, Education, Work, Media, Politics and Military, and Unique Issues. Each chapter contains a map and photos and a list of references and suggested readings. The introductory chapter explains why the countries were selected and introduces the book’s common themes. The section on Africa and the Middle East introduces students to teen life in Cameroon, one of the few places left where adolescents go through formal puberty rituals. In addition, readers learn about adolescent life in Ethiopia, Israel, Morocco, Nigeria, and Sudan. Next we travel to Asia -- China, India, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Here readers see how economic growth in India and China is creating opportunities for young people. In The Americas, readers are introduced to life in Argentina, Canada, Chile, Mexico, Peru, and the United States. The book concludes with adolescent life in Europe including the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Russia, Sweden, and the UK. Intended for courses in adolescent psychology, lifespan development, and/or cultural (cross-cultural) psychology taught in departments of psychology, human development and family studies, sociology, and education, this book will also appeal to researchers and clinicians who study or work with adolescents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing an in-depth look at the lives of women and girls in approximately 150 countries, this multivolume reference set offers readers transnational and postcolonial analysis of the many issues that are critical to the success of women and girls. For millennia, women around the world have shouldered the responsibility of caring for their families. But in recent decades, women have emerged as a major part of the global workforce, balancing careers and family life. How did this change happen? And how are societies in developing countries responding and adapting to women's newer roles in society? This four-volume encyclopedia examines the lives of women around the world, with coverage that includes the education of girls and teens; the key roles women play in their families, careers, religions, and cultures; how issues for women intersect with colonialism, transnationalism, feminism, and established norms of power and control. Organized geographically, each volume presents detailed entries about the lives of women in particular countries. Additionally, each volume offers sidebars that spotlight topics related to women and girls in specific regions or focus on individual women's lives and contributions. Primary source documents include sections of countries' constitutions that are relevant to women and girls, United Nations resolutions and national resolutions regarding women and girls, and religious statements and proclamations about women and girls. The organization of the set enables readers to take an in-depth look at individual countries as well as to make comparisons across countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like religion, playing and watching sports is a deeply meaningful, celebratory ritual enjoyed by millions across the world. The first scholarly work designed for use in both religion and sports courses, this collection develops and then applies a theoretically grounded approach to studying sports engagement globally and its relationship to modern-day issues of violence, difference, social protest, and belonging. Case studies explore the place of sports in mainstream faiths, such as Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, and Christianity, and lesser-known religious groups, particularly in Africa. It covers football, baseball, and basketball but also archery, soccer, bullfighting, judo, and track. Essays reflect all skill levels, from amateur to professional, and find surprising affinities among practices and cultures in locations as disparate as Germany and Japan, Spain and Saudi Arabia. Thoroughly examining a range of phenomena, this collection fully captures the unique overlap of two universal institutions and their interplay with human society, politics, and culture.
