Book Description
This book is a quick summary of a familyaEUR(tm)s survival of the trials and hardships of the Great Depression. It is a look at one boyaEUR(tm)s unique World War II experience, his Korean and Vietnam military background. In 1951, he had a loss of faith, which did not return until 1988 when he received what can only be called biblical revelation that he could never have imagined or anticipated. His renewed faith created Random Thoughts of an Old Man in a Rocking Chair that became a collection of the successes, failures, observations, and homespun philosophy that gave meaning to both his successes and failures from a religious perspective, a perspective that made his life the marvelous adventure it has been. He is truly an individual who can say, aEURoeI have been there and done that.aEUR

Book Description
Random Thoughts is a collection of fifteen essays in literary criticism, some revised, improved and reprinted, and others in print for the first time. These essays are the outcome of the author’s intensive reading and revaluation of a wide variety of Indian, British, African, Singaporean and Pakistani writers and their works in English. Ranging from William Shakespeare to Rabindranath Tagore, from Edward Said to Salman Rushdie, from Chinua Achebe to Edwin Thumboo, from Shiv K. Kumar to K. N. Daruwalla, from Shashi Deshpande to Cyrus Mistry, they are the evidence of exercises in critical intelligence. In addition, there are essays focused on the nature and function of transparency in autobiography, theoretical perceptions about the author-text relationship, Indian feminism, Indian English children’s literature, the Buddhist vision in English literature, and Pakistani poetry in English. The book, thus, addresses the works of different literary genres – poetry, fiction, drama, memoir, and translation – sensitively and with a freshness of approach. Since these writers mostly figure in the university syllabi in India and abroad, the book is a valuable contribution to the body of literary criticism, and is especially useful for students, teachers, researchers and readers with an interest in English literature.

Book Description
This book recounts more than seven decades of the authors adventures (and misadventures), interspersed with reflections on the joys and tribulations of membership in the human race. Here are accounts of her travels by bicycle through Africa and the Middle East, and by PMV through the highlands of New Guinea, with asides on the glories of human diversity. The story of her lifelong pursuit of learning, from a one-room schoolhouse in rural France to the halls of MIT, is sprinkled with musings on the problems of learning and teaching. Further, the author pursues her passion for truth and justice from the streets (and jails) of Washington and Boston, to the wilds of Los Angeles.

Book Description
A Dirty Old Man Goes Bad, by John Cowart, records the humor and happiness of a frustrated writer.

All in all, this is a real-time love story told day by day by a man who loves reality.

Book Description
Our saga began with a mysterious hit-and-run accident on a narrow, snow-swept highway in eastern North Carolina at 7:15 p.m. on December 20, 1920. It ended three months later in a hail of gunfire on the fourth-deck passageway of a Panama-bound steamship in Baltimore harbor. Could these two seminal events relate to the presumed accidental deaths of seventeen elderly residents of five rural North Carolina Coastal Plain counties, each of whom just happened to be the last surviving member of his or her line? The authorities were mystified. Perhaps the reader should not expect a happy ending. Interesting? Immensely. Predictable? Absolutely not. Another page-turner? Most assuredly.

Book Description
Nomas, a curious inquisitive boy of fourteen summers, sought out the people who passed through his community in a caravan. He had a unique skill that would help him with a job that the Elders in his community were desperate for him to carry out. He needed to find out where these mysterious people lived and how they stayed hidden from the rest of the world. They had possessions that the Elders wanted for the Community—security, technology, wealth, and food. Nomas discovers the world is a very different place than his very ordered and controlled life in the Community. Nomas struggles to survive as he travels, fighting off wild dogs in the valley, escaping renegades on the roads, avoiding marauders in the devasted city, and going through a putrid forest. He finds shelter and friendship in the hidden Village. Gilia, the red-haired girl with a small dog, shows Nomas that life can have joy and happiness even if hard things happen. Nomas travels with the Villagers to a wild trading Bazaar and a city that is run by the AI machines. Nomas, once afraid of anything new or unknown, uses his unique abilities to fight an evil that rules the people in a shattered world.
