Book excerpt: The Covid-19 pandemic has revealed the fragility of economic systems, and the precariousness of the incomes and lives of people all over the world. We must “build back better” and create a more resilient economy, which is more inclusive, and more just, than our economies are. What should be the contours of the “new normal”, and how will we change the old normal to the new, are questions we must collectively address now, and urgently. Otherwise, the old will recreate itself, driven by the embedded ideas about good economics on which it was founded. “Never waste a crisis”, leaders and policymakers say. A Billion Fireflies is a reminder of the ideas for a new paradigm—of what it should be and how it can be brought about—that far-sighted people had proposed before the pandemic. The time has come to convert those ideals into reality.

This book was released on 2004-03-02 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the cusp of their epic battle with Shinzon, many of Captain Jean-Luc Picard's long-time crew were heading for new assignments and new challenges. Among the changes were William Riker's promotion to captain and his new command, Riker's marriage to Counselor Deanna Troi, and Dr. Beverly Crusher's new career at Starfleet Medical. But the story of what set them on a path away from the Starship Enterprise has never been told. UNTIL NOW. It was supposed to be a mission of mercy, until the unthinkable occurred: the destruction of the U.S.S. Juno, killing all hands on board. Starfleet Command has unjustly assessed the actions of Captain Picard and the Enterprise crew during that fateful assignment to the Rashanar Battle Site -- the sector that saw one of the fiercest conflicts of the Dominion War, and which is now a hazardous interstellar graveyard filled with hundreds of devastated starships. While the court-ordered medical evaluation that relieved Picard of command is ongoing, there is growing speculation that his illustrious career may be coming to an end. To clear his former commander, acting captain William Riker and a demoralized skeleton crew agree to conduct a covert operation, and must venture the Starship Enterprise back into Rashanar to track down a mythical menace -- one that may already be responsible for the annihilation of countless fully armed starships. Unbridled hostility and the promise of death lurk at every turn, but they could never imagine that their only chance of survival may lie in the unexpected return of a long-absent friend....

Book excerpt: Beginning a sensational year-long series of two-part stand-alone stories set in between the events of Star Trek: Insurrection and Star Trek: Nemesis. Suspected without proof of destroying a fellow Starfleet vessel, the Enterprise is stripped of its flagship status and sent on a seemingly pointless mission to a backwater of space. Caught up in events outside their control, mistrusted even by their Starfleet companions, Captain Jean-Luc Picard and his crew must struggle to win back their place of honour at the forefront of the Federation fleet. And if that were not enough to contend with, some of the crew have problems of their own. Chief among them is android Commander Data, who is forced to give up the chip which allowed him to access human emotions, the goal for which he has worked so hard and so long...

Download or read book F**k It written by John Parkin and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2014-03-24 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: F**k It has taken the world by storm, helping countless people to let go, stop struggling and finally do what they want; to ignore what everyone else is telling them and go their own way. This now classic text has been updated with inspirational new material from John C. Parkin. In this inspiring and humorous book, John suggests that saying F**k It is the perfect Western expression of the Eastern spiritual ideas of letting go, giving up and finding real freedom by realising that things don't matter so much (if at all). It's a spiritual way that doesn't require chanting, meditating, wearing sandals or eating pulses. And it's the very power of this modern-day profanity that makes it perfect for shaking us Westerners out of the stress and anxiety that dominate our meaning-full lives. So, find out how to say F**k It to all your problems and concerns. Say F**k It to all the 'shoulds' in your life and finally do what you want to do, no matter what other people think.

Book Synopsis Globalizing Indian Thought by : Debashis Chatterjee
Download or read book Globalizing Indian Thought written by Debashis Chatterjee and published by SAGE Publishing India. This book was released on 2021-11-29 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The overarching principle that once integrated India’s institutions is often described by the word ‘dharma’. The notion of dharma goes well beyond what is known as ‘rule of law’. Rule of law is about publicly disclosed legal codes and processes. Dharma, on the other hand, is the holding principle that encompasses the whole of nature, including human nature. Dharma is much more nuanced and yet, paradoxically, more unambiguous than rule of law. The research presented in Globalizing Indian Thought tells us that India will do well to hark back to its ‘sanatana dharma’. The book decodes and deliberates on a few big ideas with the hope to shape India’s story on the world stage. It would be of interest to anyone who wishes to know how we can bring in ideas that are inherently Indian to broaden the discourse on matters of national and international importance.

Download or read book 5 Years After written by Richard Correll and published by eBookIt.com. This book was released on 2014-09-25 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 5 Years After is a fresh look at the apocalypse genre. A deeper, more intriguing storyline with characters that reach out and grab you. They are defined not by their strengths. Instead, it is their weaknesses and emotions that set them apart. They feel real, they are just like us. "Richard Correll has created a rich and descriptive landscape that will make you believe. " KSPK Radio "....as startling as it is descriptive. 5 Years After does a great job of presenting a future of darkness, contrasted with sprinkles of hope and humanity. Definitely recommend this one."

Download or read book A Year Straight written by Elena Azzoni and published by Seal Press. This book was released on 2011-10-25 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After having spent nearly her entire adult life dating women (and liking it), Elena Azzoni felt pretty secure in her sexual orientation: she’d even just been crowned Miss Lez 2007. Then, one day in yoga class, a male teacher moved in close to adjust her pose . . . and she suddenly found herself intensely—bafflingly—attracted to him. Eventually she initiated a flirtation with him; after that, there was no going back. A Year Straight is a chronicle of the hilariously disastrous year following Azzoni’s abrupt dive into the world of dating men: old enough to drink and keep her own hours, but as clueless as an adolescent when it comes to deciphering men’s words and actions, Azzoni is uniquely positioned to find herself in some ridiculously absurd scenarios. Often cringe-worthy and occasionally unbelievable, A Year Straight is a wildly entertaining look at one woman’s experiences dating a new sex—the opposite sex.
Book Synopsis Invading God’s Possible Universe by : David Lawrence
Download or read book Invading God’s Possible Universe written by David Lawrence and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-06-22 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Invading God's Universe is about David Lawrence's attempt to adjust to the possibility of God. He seeks his own soul but isn't even sure that he has a soul. He sees himself as a book written by heaven or maybe not. He is confused and searching. He boldly says that "what God likes about me is that I reject him." God does not need our belief. He is himself. He is God. David wrestles with God and feels that God likes it that way. He doesn't want to bother God. He doesn't want to annoy him by his "selfishness / And demanding prayers." He feels that God "dislikes religion. / And settles for the spirit." God is not formulaic. He is love. Love is not codification. It is free spirit. David feels God's presence when he is alone. He does not like gatherings for prayer because he wants to have his own direct connection with God. He does not read the Bible. He is the Bible. He is God's text. He is written. God is or isn't the pen. He is a Doubting Thomas but he doesn't doubt that he feels a cosmic presence within him.
