The "Beach" is located in Ontario, Canada, on the clean, clear shores of Georgian Bay.

The summer routine seems to have a wrinkle in it when an odd group moves into the cabin at the top of the ridge. What is it about these people that both intrigues Jack and sets her nerves on edge?

Book Synopsis Shadows in the Desert by : G. A. Kulkarni
Download or read book Shadows in the Desert written by G. A. Kulkarni and published by One Point Six Technology Pvt Ltd. This book was released on 2015-05-11 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If Hamlet, one of Shakespeare’s great tragic heroes, said of man, ‘What a piece of work is a man, how noble in reason, how infinite in faculties,…- And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust? Man delights not me-no, nor woman neither,’ we have, after about four centuries, G.A.Kulkarni, an outstanding short story writer in Marathi, to present a similar portrait of mankind. To G.A., human beings, quintessentially made up of dust, seem to be mere ‘shadows in the desert,’ and hence look so unsubstantial. And though their hands seemingly join together, their shadows are simply extending unto the grave beyond. G.A.Kulkarni tries to outline an image of a complex network of unfathomable destiny in his stories to bring out the uncertainty and absurdity in human life that lies underneath the tragic potential of human predicament. In this sense, G.A.’s worldview has affinity not only with the great tragic poets of ancient Greece but also the Absurd playwrights and Existentialist thinkers of the 20th century. Following the first volume A Journey Forever (2010), thirteen more Short story masterpieces by G.A.Kulkarni are presented in English translation in Shadows in the Desert. The collection illustrates almost all types of short fiction by the Sahitya Akademi Award winning author: realistic stories rooted in the Indian soil (Kasaab : The Butcher, Kavathe:Wood Apples, Chandrawal : The Dancing Pigeon), fantastic but epiphanic tales- a type unparalleled in the history of Short story form at World Literature level- (The Slave, The Messenger, Vidooshak: The Fool), fictional reworking and reinterpretation of Indian and western myths in Mukti: Deliverance and Yaatrik: The Crusader respectively as well as metaphorical/symbolic tales of revelation heavily laden with multiple meanings like Bali: Victim of Sacrifice?, Soyare:Kinsmen, and Anaamik: Anonymous.

Book excerpt: The inside story of the covert operation that took down the heads of ISIS No Shadows in the Desert reveals the untold story of the behind-the-scenes fight against ISIS—one coordinated by heads of state and ultimately fought in the alleyways and open deserts of the Middle Eastern battlefield by spies and soldiers. Samuel M. Katz draws upon his sources within the global intelligence and counterterrorism community, as well as the international special operations and espionage fraternity, to tell the story of the covert campaign against ISIS by the operatives who ventured deeply and secretly into enemy territory. In this first-ever look at the secret inner workings of an Arab secret service, Katz tells the story of Jordan’s GID, the masters of human intelligence on the espionage battlefields of the Middle East, who proved pivotal and crucial go-to allies of the CIA and America’s other intelligence agencies in the war against ISIS and the war on terror. With the revealing and intimate insight of the intelligence officers who fought ISIS, No Shadows in the Desert is a rare glimpse into how a strategic partnership helped change how terrorism is fought in the Middle East and beyond.

A hundred years on and one had vanished forever, while the other seemed almost finished. Ruling in their place were the Arabs: an upheaval so profound that it spelt, in effect, the end of the ancient world. In the Shadow of the Sword explores how this came about. Spanning from Constantinople to the Arabian desert, and starring some of the most remarkable rulers who ever lived, he tells a story vivid with drama, horror, and startling achievement.

Download or read book Sand Talk written by Tyson Yunkaporta and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2020-05-12 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A paradigm-shifting book in the vein of Sapiens that brings a crucial Indigenous perspective to historical and cultural issues of history, education, money, power, and sustainability—and offers a new template for living. As an indigenous person, Tyson Yunkaporta looks at global systems from a unique perspective, one tied to the natural and spiritual world. In considering how contemporary life diverges from the pattern of creation, he raises important questions. How does this affect us? How can we do things differently? In this thoughtful, culturally rich, mind-expanding book, he provides answers. Yunkaporta’s writing process begins with images. Honoring indigenous traditions, he makes carvings of what he wants to say, channeling his thoughts through symbols and diagrams rather than words. He yarns with people, looking for ways to connect images and stories with place and relationship to create a coherent world view, and he uses sand talk, the Aboriginal custom of drawing images on the ground to convey knowledge. In Sand Talk, he provides a new model for our everyday lives. Rich in ideas and inspiration, it explains how lines and symbols and shapes can help us make sense of the world. It’s about how we learn and how we remember. It’s about talking to everyone and listening carefully. It’s about finding different ways to look at things. Most of all it’s about a very special way of thinking, of learning to see from a native perspective, one that is spiritually and physically tied to the earth around us, and how it can save our world. Sand Talk include 22 black-and-white illustrations that add depth to the text.
Download or read book Shadows written by Roberto Casati and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2004-08-10 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this original, wide-ranging, and endlessly thought-provoking work of popular nonfiction, a leading science writer uncovers the pervasive presence of shadows in our world. For Plato, shadows were the symbol of our limitations. For Galileo, they knocked the Earth from the center of the cosmos. They are a source of fear and a symbol of ignorance, and they loom large in art and design, mythology and folklore, physics and metaphysics, and architecture and urban planning. From shadows puppets and the psychology of shadows to the role of shadows in astronomy and the influence of shadows on the architectural profiles of our cities, Roberto Casati awakens our fascination in this tour-de-force of investigation and imagination.
