Swami Vivekananda’s own speeches and writings as well as accounts left by his disciples are many, but a comprehensive, objective and critical study by a non-devotee is not extant. This book is an endeavour to supply the need. Not only does it bring out his superb powers and achievements but it also discusses a few oddities like his defence of animal sacrifice and indifference to widow remarriage. In more than forty chapters the book covers the life, personality, ideas, social service and the hitherto unexplored aspects of the poetry and prose of this intellectual giant.1.

Staal attempts to re-explore the origins, mantras, and the rituals of the Vedas. He has tried to bring out the factual information from the most sacred books of India, by giving them a global perspective. The book also gives extensive details on the archaeology, traditions, and Vedic math. The book also provides readers with clear comprehension on the actions and the values of the Vedic society then. It is an intriguing book that discusses Vedic sciences and their ancient history, and the idea of karma. Discovering the Vedas also talks about more interesting topics like the absence of caste in Vedas, Vedic villages, the Vedic women, and the immense contributions of the Upanishads. Frits Staal has tried to bring forth significant and relevant information to the modern-day readers.

Our corporations vie for slots in the Diversity Top 50, our universities brag about minority recruiting, and every month is Somebody’s History Month. But in this provocative new book, Walter Benn Michaels argues that our enthusiastic celebration of “difference” masks our neglect of America’s vast and growing economic divide. Affirmative action in schools has not made them more open, it’s just guaranteed that the rich kids come in the appropriate colors. Diversity training in the workplace has not raised anybody’s salary (except maybe the diversity trainers’) but it has guaranteed that when your job is outsourced, your culture will be treated with respect.</div><div><br>With lacerating prose and exhilarating wit, Michaels takes on the many manifestations of our devotion to diversity, from companies apologizing for slavery, to a college president explaining why there aren’t more women math professors, to the codes of conduct in the new “humane corporations.” Looking at the books we read, the TV shows we watch, and the lawsuits we bring, Michaels shows that diversity has become everyone’s sacred cow precisely because it offers a false vision of social justice, one that conveniently costs us nothing. <i>The Trouble with Diversity</i> urges us to start thinking about real justice, about equality instead of diversity. Attacking both the right and the left, it will be the most controversial political book of the year. </div></div> ., Metropolitan Books, 2006, 2019. Paperback. New.

Paperback. Good/-. -. It is September 1995. Selin, a Turkish-American college freshman from New Jersey, is about to embark on her first year at Harvard University, where she is deter-mined to decipher the mysteries of language and to become a writer. In between studying psycho-linguistics and the philosophy of language, teaching ESL to a Costa Rican plumber, and befriending her classmate Svetlana (a Serbian refugee from Connecticut), Selin falls in love with a Hungarian maths student in her Russian class. She spends the summer in the Hungarian countryside teaching English to village children, where sad and comic misunderstandings ensue. Full of the razor-sharp evocations of character and place that have long delighted readers of Batuman's non-fiction, The Idiot tackles literary ambition, female friend-ship, the American dream, Chomskian linguistics, the Russian novel and romantic love. `There is hardly a single action we perform in that phase which we would not give anything, in later life, to be able to annul,' Proust once wrote, `but adolescence is the only period in which we learn anything.' | 432 pages | 153 x 234 x 30mm | 560g., Vintage Publishing, 2017<
