Book Description
An army veteran admits to murdering his best friend and major during the Indo-China war. While the police write him off as a senile man who is on a nervous breakdown, the case is handed to the IRTF whose resolve to prove his innocence wanes thin as evidences pile up against him. Around the same time, videos of women being brutally murdered start going viral on the internet. As the case is taken up by the IRTF, much to their horror, the murderer is provoked into challenging them by being more violent in his display of his disturbing skills on the increasing number of his victims. When Akshaya Balakrishnan joins the Task Force, little do her colleagues expect that they will be blown away by her skills of deduction and presence of mind. With one determined woman, two sensational cases, Across the Silent Sands is an exploration of how the human mind can surprise and shock us all.

Book Description
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.
