Prepare for a harrowing ride through the universe by the New York Times–bestselling author of Startide Rising and The Postman. Book Three in the Uplift Storm Trilogy The peaceful existence of six outcast races on Jijo has ended. Ancient enemies, the Jophur, have discovered them, preparing to subject the refugees to their dark, perverted plans. The Jijoans’ only hope is the same ship that accidently led their foes to the planet. The Earthship Streaker, with its crew of uplifted dolphins and a human commander, must somehow lure the Jophur into a chase through space . . . into the unknown. And then into the weird. More than just the fate of Jijo—or that of distant Earth, also suffering a deadly siege—hangs in the balance. Some believe a terrifying prophecy is about to come true, one that involves Streaker’s trove of artifacts coveted by factions throughout all Five Galaxies. As countless white dwarf stars verge on unexpected explosion, all sentient life in the universe appears to be at risk unless someone can save them.

The complete alienation of Dalits from resources like land, water, and agricultural implements has led to the collective demand for an equal share in productivity. This book discusses the range of socio-economic and cultural problems faced by the Dalit community. The movement advancing the rights of Dalits took place both before and after independence, however they varied in intensity, and concerned land ownership and fair wages, self-respect, social dignity, and the demand for equal rights. This movement appeared to have significantly changed the very mindset and attitude of upper caste people to restrain themselves and not to resort to any discrimination or humiliation of Dalits. However, this seems to have been only a temporary phenomenon, and the practice of suppression and humiliation continues today. This book explores the circumstances of Dalits in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, and the current efforts attempting to achieve more social equality for the caste here.

In Babel's Tower Translated, Phillip Sherman explores the narrative of Genesis 11 and its reception and interpretation in several Second Temple and Early Rabbinic texts (e.g., Jubilees, Philo, Genesis Rabbah). The account of the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11:1-9) is famously ambiguous. The meaning of the narrative and the actions of both the human characters and the Israelite deity defy any easy explanation. This work explores how changing historical and hermeneutical realities altered and shifted the meaning of the text in Jewish antiquity.

Becoming a star that shines in the sky of this world is no easy task. We will need natural talent, determination. And almost everyone seeks to have this eternity expressed on a street sign or in a memorial in some museum. Having your name written and remembered in history is what most people want. After all, this is the glory of the world. Scientists, singers, actors, etc. shone in it. Not everyone gets this gift. But they try. I describe in a poetic and reflective way the human desire for immortality, for an indelible mark on history. Becoming a star that shines in the sky of this world is truly an ambition shared by many. The quest for recognition and legacy, to be remembered on a street sign or memorial, is an expression of the desire for transcendence and meaning. Worldly glory has been achieved by some who have excelled in their fields such as; scientists, singers, actors, writers, leaders, among others. However, it is true that not everyone gets this "gift". For many, the quest for achievement may not translate into fame or global recognition, but they can still achieve a different kind of brilliance through their actions and impact in their spheres of influence, however small. This reflection raises important questions about what it really means to shine and what is the value of seeking external recognition versus a life well lived in an authentic and meaningful way. There is a famous cemetery in Paris that is often visited by tourists from all over the world, Pere de La Chiese. There are buried many personalities who shone on the world stage, not only in France, but also in Europe and around the world. They became famous for their feats and achievements both in art and in other areas of existence. For some time they were shining in the sky of recognition and fame and today they are even being immortalized in the memorials of humanity. They became the names of streets, squares, places and more. The mysteries

The book deals with the soul of one man out of the approximately seven billion souls on the earth. The struggles and thoughts that course through his mind as he goes about living and worshipping God trying to help other souls that might be having a hard time and let them know that they are not alone. And to remind ourselves that there is family, humor, thoughts of God and the world around everyone of us because everyone has a story to tell or a poem to be written. And if we happen to come across those stories or poems and take them into our souls we might be better persons because of it.
