Book excerpt: 'When the house of history is on fire, journalists are often the first-responders, pulling victims away from the flames. Deep Halder is one of them.' - Amitava KumarIn 1978, around 1.5 lakh Hindu refugees, mostly belonging to the lower castes, settled in Marichjhapi an island in the Sundarbans, in West Bengal. By May 1979, the island was cleared of all refugees by Jyoti Basu's Left Front government. Most of the refugees were sent back to the central India camps they came from, but there were many deaths: of diseases, malnutrition resulting from an economic blockade, as well as from violence unleashed by the police on the orders of the government. Some of the refugees who survived Marichjhapi say the number of those who lost their lives could be as high as 10,000, while the-then government officials maintain that there were less than ten victims.How does an entire island population disappear? How does one unearth the truth and the details of one of the worst atrocities of post-Independent India? Journalist Deep Halder reconstructs the buried history of the 1979 massacres through his interviews with survivors, erstwhile reporters, government officials and activists with a rare combination of courage, conscientiousness and empathy.

Book Synopsis Blood is Thicker Than Water by : Alistair J. Bright
Download or read book Blood is Thicker Than Water written by Alistair J. Bright and published by Sidestone Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study represents a contribution to the pre-Colonial archaeology of the Windward Islands in the Caribbean. The research aimed to determine how the Ceramic Age (c. 400 BC - AD 1492) Amerindian inhabitants of the region related to one another and others at various geographic scales, with a view to better understanding social interaction and organisation within the Windward Islands as well the integration of this region within the macro-region. This research approached the study of intra- and inter-island interaction and social development through an island-by-island study of some 640 archaeological sites and their ceramic assemblages. Besides providing insight into settlement sequences, patterns and micro-mobility through time, it also highlighted various configurations of sites spread across different islands that were united by shared ceramic (decorative) traits. These configurations were more closely examined by taking recourse to graph-theory. By extending the comparative scope of this research to the Greater Antilles and the South American mainland, possible material cultural influences from more distant regions could be suggested. While Windward Island communities certainly developed a localised material cultural identity, they remained open to a host of wide-ranging influences outside the Windward Island micro-region. As such, rather than representing a cultural backwater operating in the periphery of a burgeoning Taíno empire, it is argued that Windward Island communities actively and flexibly realigned themselves with several mainland South American societies in Late Ceramic Age times (c. AD 700-1500), forging and maintaining significant ties and exchange relationships. Alistair Bright was a member of the Caribbean Research Group at Leiden University from 2003 to 2010 and participated in numerous archaeological surveys and excavations in the Caribbean during that time. His research interests include the archaeology, ethnohistory and ethnography of the Caribbean and South America, as well as the archaeology of island societies throughout the world in general.

Download or read book Blood Island written by Allan Ede and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2003-03-17 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spencer Hendran cursed himself for being careless and allowing those ruthless scumbags to inflict agonizing pain and suffering upon him and four lovely young ladies whom he had just befriended on his trek through the Boundary Waters. He would hone his special skills, learned as a former Green Beret, and wreak vengeance upon those thugs-even if he had to chase them to Hell and back. They would rue the day they had committed such atrocities against him and those he cared for-especially Marna with whom he had fallen in love. "The reader of Blood Island should not expect to get away from it all in this fast-paced, suspenseful, and often brutal story. Author Allan Ede writes with great detail, and his story is well-paced-often breath-taking and horrifying at the same time, keeping the reader turning the pages in anticipation. A nail-biting, if not eye-covering, satisfying read." -Pamela Schuster Ostwinkle-award winning author of The Little Teardrop and Monster Tools "I sat down one night to read Blood Island. After engaging in an exciting and twisting plot, I couldn't go to sleep until I finished reading the entire book. You can't imagine the suspense, the terror, and unspeakable horror until you experience it yourself, vicariously through the reading. Ede is an up-and-coming writer of thrilling action who has no boundaries." -Laura Trentz "As a former Green Beret, Spence Hendran is a man of action. Laying his life on the line to protect others is what he does. Avenging the violent murder of the woman he loved, is for him, automatic-non-negotiable. Blood Island is about harsh truths and doing what has to be done. It is not a book for the squeamish." -Sharon Helgens "Blood Island is a thrilling action novel about revenge. Allan Ede, the author, has struck a raw nerve in story telling. He's brilliant, and Blood Island proves it." -John Tigges

This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Molecular Mechanisms in Cellular Growth and Differentiation describes the cellular differentiation and development. It emphasizes the pattern formation, specifically the genesis of spatial relationships, among the parts of a vertebrate or invertebrate organism, embryonic or adult. Organized into five parts, this book deals with the major steps leading from growth factor-receptor interactions, through transduction and modulation mechanisms, to proliferative response. It also discusses the relation of growth factors and their receptors to oncogenes and to protooncogenes. It also elucidates the roles of growth factors and receptors in cell differentiation and development, particularly, in pattern formation. The homeotic systems regulated intracellularly and the two differentiation systems thought to involve sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins in conjunction with small molecules are also explored.

Download or read book Blood of the Isles written by Bryan Sykes and published by Random House. This book was released on 2011-02-28 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bryan Sykes, the world's first genetic archaeologist, takes us on a journey around the family tree of Britain and Ireland, to reveal how our tribal history still colours the country today. In 54BC Julius Caesar launched the first Roman invasion of Britain. His was the first detailed account of the Celtic tribes that inhabited the Isles. But where had they come from and how long had they been there? When the Romans eventually left five hundred years later, they were succeeded by invasions of Anglo-Saxons, Vikings and Normans. Did these successive invasions obliterate the genetic legacy of the Celts, or have very little effect? After two decades tracing the genetic origins of peoples from all over the world, Bryan Sykes has now turned the spotlight on his own back yard. In a major research programme, the first of its kind, he set out to test the DNA of over 10,000 volunteers from across Britain and Ireland with the specific aim of answering this very question: what is our modern genetic make-up and what does it tell us of our tribal past? Are the modern people of the Isles a delicious genetic cocktail? Or did the invaders keep mostly to themselves forming separate genetic layers within the Isles? As his findings came in, Bryan Sykes discovered that the genetic evidence revealed often very different stories to the conventional accounts coming from history and archaeology. Blood of the Isles reveals the nature of our genetic make-up as never before and what this says about our attitudes to ourselves, each other, and to our past. It is a gripping story that will fascinate and surprise with its conclusions.
