Book Description
Winner, 'Hindu Literary Prize 2014' A unique collection of short stories on life, relationships and the human conditionLyrical, enigmatic, moving, this is a collection of short stories that traverse topics such as patricide, incest, betrayal, delusions, amnesia. Life being a shapeless thing of borrowed bits and stolen voices, it is only stories that give it form. These tales grow out of a tangle of relationships and crystallize at moments of intensity when one is not conscious of oneself but is blithe as in childhood, entranced as at moments of sexual gratification or lost in prayer.

Book Description
Warning Signs provides practical methods to reduce harm to and by children. Doctors Johnson and Berdahl present the most common risk factors and warning signs, along with practical parenting advice and strategies for raising strong, safe kids and protecting them from becoming either perpetrators or victims. They explain how the "old" risk factors—child abuse and neglect, domestic violence, sexual assault, and poverty—have been compounded by new ones in the past 20 years, such as violent media, kids' entitled attitudes, parents' fear of intervention, and increases in childhood mental illness, disrupted families, substance use, bullying, access to weapons, and social media. They provide sample language for tough conversations with kids and with other adults. Full of specific, practical ideas, this book will appeal to parents who want to raise kind and compassionate children.
