Book Description
About The Book The Law of gravity is an inescapable truth of the universe. Sometimes, tectonic shifts happen, lightning strikes, earth shatters, and we fall flat on our face at rock-bottom. We find ourselves engulfed in darkness, silence, and solitude- Finding this to be a perfect breeding ground, our opportunistic demons crawl into our minds gnawing us with their scrawny mindsets. We give in and lose it. We break and how! But how do you know what you’re truly made up of? When you break open! Incidentally, that’s how stars are made too! About The Author Swati Sharma was born & brought up in New Delhi, INDIA. She lives in her den in Gurugram- Haryana, INDIA. Her parents named her ‘Abhilasha’ (A Wish!) as she was born. However, Swati got her first name changed when she was barely three years old since she didn't like it! Swati carries her steel-willed (not iron-willed for iron rusts!) mother's maiden surname. Simply because her much evolved father (A Great Man ahead of time itself!) didn't believe that both- Legacy & lineage should be in the father's surname only! After all, both a sperm and an egg make a life!

The Circassian Miracle: the Nation Neither Tsars, nor Commissars, nor Russia Could Stop
Author: Adel Bashqawi
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1796076856
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 701
Book Description
This work is dedicated to Circassia, the historical homeland of the Circassians, who inspired and encouraged emerging generations to maintain the torch of freedom and to lead the way, despite all obstacles and attempts of exclusion that have been tested over the years. Since the subjugation of their homeland, the Circassians were subjected to harsh conditions in all walks of life, which wasn’t easy to withstand and get through. This meant a dictatorial, savage, direct military and security jurisdiction, and domination for the duration of both tyrant tsarist imperial and Soviet/Communist eras. From the beginning of the 1990s on, the general situation has been quite different concerning the circumstances that the Circassian affairs have been clutched to. After decades of being forgotten, the people of the Caucasus region and the world at large have started to become enlightened with information that was prevented and blocked from the public. Even the historians, specialists, and academicians were not in the picture of the pain, destiny, and suffering that the Circassian nation was inflicted with for decades, specifically since the occupation and deportation of 1864.

The Routledge Handbook of Arabic Translation

Category : Foreign Language Study
Languages : en
Pages : 581
Book Description
Translation-related activities from and into Arabic have significantly increased in the last few years, in both scope and scale. The launch of a number of national translation projects, policies and awards in a number of Arab countries, together with the increasing translation from Arabic in a wide range of subject areas outside the Arab World – especially in the aftermath of the Arab Spring – have complicated and diversified the dynamics of the translation industry involving Arabic. The Routledge Handbook of Arabic Translation seeks to explicate Arabic translation practice, pedagogy and scholarship, with the aim of producing a state-of-the-art reference book that maps out these areas and meets the pedagogical and research needs of advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as active researchers.

The Clouds and the Rain
Author: Rev. Apostle Simon Ntumba
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1504941853
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 71
Book Description
The Clouds and the Rain teaches us to understand the different seasons we experience. The major message this book conveys is how to conduct ourselves while burdened with clouds. Many people stress or panic as they do not know how to conduct themselves when they encounter clouds in their lives; others just dont know how to manage Gods blessing. A gathering of clouds does not discriminate or spare some people, no matter what their social rank. Everyone is vulnerable to this period of clouds, no matter how wealthy or poor. It does not affect only men and spare women, or old people and spare young ones. Neither does it come to the ignorant and spare the educated. It does not come only to the unbeliever and spare the believer, nor does it come only to the congregation and spare the leaders. The clouds come to anyone, at anytime, as permitted by God. This period is usually a sensitive one in which some people blame God for their situations. Many people get disconnected from the promises of God, leaving their blessings behind and walking without any in their lives. Nobody wants to experience clouds because it is not an enjoyable time; it is a grieving time, when you dont know whom you can trust, a time in which you struggle to believe in God. In this book you will learn how to develop your character and rely on God alone, not relying on people because of their influence or authority. You will also learn not to be the root of any bad circumstances you encounter but instead to strengthen your personal relationship with God.
