Book Description
Adrift in the Wild and hoping to loosen the ties that bound them to society, a small group discovers what they did not know they knew. We experience the journey with them toward a nurturing, sustaining "life-way" through the eyes of a young girl blessed with the gift of envisioning the future. Faced with re-learning ancient human ways that nurture shared leadership, equality, and non-violence, the group is forced to depend on the "knowing" held in their genetic memory. Step by step the journey takes them into the expansive web of the Wild. Ultimately, they are forced to create a new "heroic story," one that guides them to oppose those who would destroy their newfound humanity and community. Garnering the power of collective action, collective creativity, and collective courage, they rediscover the power of peaceful resistance.

Book Description
The gripping story of an explosive turning point in the history of modern India On the night of June 25, 1975, Indira Gandhi declared a state of emergency in India, suspending constitutional rights and rounding up her political opponents in midnight raids across the country. In the twenty-one harrowing months that followed, her regime unleashed a brutal campaign of coercion and intimidation, arresting and torturing people by the tens of thousands, razing slums, and imposing compulsory sterilization on the poor. Emergency Chronicles provides the first comprehensive account of this understudied episode in India’s modern history. Gyan Prakash strips away the comfortable myth that the Emergency was an isolated event brought on solely by Gandhi’s desire to cling to power, arguing that it was as much the product of Indian democracy’s troubled relationship with popular politics. Drawing on archival records, private papers and letters, published sources, film and literary materials, and interviews with victims and perpetrators, Prakash traces the Emergency’s origins to the moment of India’s independence in 1947, revealing how the unfulfilled promise of democratic transformation upset the fine balance between state power and civil rights. He vividly depicts the unfolding of a political crisis that culminated in widespread popular unrest, which Gandhi sought to crush by paradoxically using the law to suspend lawful rights. Her failure to preserve the existing political order had lasting and unforeseen repercussions, opening the door for caste politics and Hindu nationalism. Placing the Emergency within the broader global history of democracy, this gripping book offers invaluable lessons for us today as the world once again confronts the dangers of rising authoritarianism and populist nationalism.

Book Description
Aeres is a new setting for your adventurous 5th Edition campaign. The Chronicles of Aeres, the title of this guide, represents the histories, mythologies, heroes, villains, and struggles of this mystical realm. Aeres is filled to the brim with nostalgia, and its sensibilities are decidedly old school. It's a land that hearkens back to a classical age of fantasy-an age of larger-than-life heroes, true, but also a time when hapless farmhands and folksy Hobbits were coaxed into adventure by wizards, prophecies, and promises of magical treasure. For those who seek their fortune in this realm, the result is often peril and adventure-but just as often magic and charm. The Chronicles of Aeres World Guide will contain everything necessary for a Dungeon Master to create a fleshed out, action-packed adventure within the setting; in addition to dozens of new fantastical destinations to explore and colorful characters to meet, this guide offers both new and experienced players a full kit of tools to create a folkloric adventurer fully immersed in the storybook atmosphere of the realm.
