Legendary musician Annapurna Devi's life has been shrouded in
mystery. Daughter of the unparalleled Allauddin Khan of Maitra and
the first wife of Pandit Ravi Shankar, she conquered the summit of
Indian classical music, only to later renounce public life to spend
her entire life as a recluse in the confinement of her house. Until
the age of sixteen, Annapurna Devi was confined to her family home
at Maihar, where her father was a court musician and guru to the
maharaja. During this period, she devoted herself exclusively to
the deepest study and practice of Indian classical music under the
strict tutelage of her father. After her estrangement from her
husband Pandit Ravi Shankar, Annapurna Devi went ever deeper into
self-imposed seclusion. The only people whom she met and
communicated with were her disciples who used to visit her for
music lessons, which included some of the greatest musicians our
era has seen, including Pandit Nikhil Banerjee, Pandit Hariprasad
Chaurasia, Ustad Bahadur Khan, Aashish Khan, Dhyanesh Khan,
Nityanand Haldipur and Basant Kabra, to name a few. Full of
anecdotes and untold stories, this is her life story as told by her
to her disciples over a period of time, giving valuable insights
into their Guru Ma's personality, music and teachings.

This remarkable tale is a powerful reimagining of our species'
unfolding and its future potential. Rio Abajo Rio is many things at
once - part post-creation myth, part evocation of the first words
ever spoken, it is simultaneously a projection of a
post-apocalyptic society. This brave book is not easily described
because Barbara Fairhead's narrative defies linearity in time and
telling. The narration transports readers to a time and place when
language was in formation and identity was fluid. Characters morph
and shift with their emerging consciousness.

Now in paperback, the beloved Elemental Masters series moves to
America for the first time in a rich retelling of The Queen of the
Copper Mountain, set against the backdrop of Tennessee coal
country. Anna May Jones is the daughter of a coal miner, but a
sickly constitution has kept her confined to the house for most of
her life. Hoping to improve her daughter's health-and lessen the
burden on their family-Anna's mother sends her to live with her
Aunt Jinny, a witchy-woman and an Elemental Master, in a holler
outside of Ducktown. As she settles into her new life, Anna learns
new skills at Aunt Jinny's side and discovers that she, too, has a
gift for Elemental magic that Jinny calls "the Glory". She also
receives lessons from a mysterious and bewitching woman named
Jolene, who assures her that, with time, Anna could become even
more powerful than her aunt. But with Anna's increasing power comes
increasing notice. Billie McDaran, the foreman of the Ducktown
mine, begins to take an interest in Anna and her abilities-even
though Anna has already fallen in love with a young man with a
talent for stonecarving. If she wants to preserve the life she has
come to love, Anna must use her newfound powers to oppose the
foreman and protect those around her.
For a long time my biggest dream has been to bring joy to people’s lives and help them be the best version of themselves. This book explains my rituals for my body, mind, soul and business, and the ‘life hacks’ I figured out following both the death of my mother and my divorce.
These rituals help me be the best version of myself. I want to share them in the hope that when you apply them to your life, in your unique way, you will also experience the joy I feel by being myself. I believe that when you change your mindset, you’ll change your life.
If you ever feel the world is against you because of who you are, just block the negative thoughts, bless any person who has them, then ignore them and move on. God has made you exactly as He wanted you to be! Bless you!

THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLER THE NEW YORK TIMES NO 1
BESTSELLER The storming of the Capitol on 6 January 2021 revealed
the transition from President Trump to President Biden to be one of
the most dangerous periods in American history, with the result of
the election called into question by the sitting president. But, as
internationally bestselling author Bob Woodward and acclaimed
reporter Robert Costa reveal for the first time, it was far more
than just a domestic political crisis. At the highest level of the
US military, secret action was taken to prevent Trump from possibly
starting a war. Woodward and Costa interviewed more than 200 people
at the centre of the turmoil, resulting in a spellbinding and
definitive portrait of a nation on the brink. They take readers
deep inside the Trump White House, the Biden White House, the 2020
campaign, and the Pentagon and Congress, with vivid, eyewitness
accounts of what really happened. Peril is supplemented throughout
with never-before-seen material from secret orders, transcripts of
confidential calls, diaries, emails, meeting notes and other
personal and government records, making for an unparalleled
history. It is also the first inside look at Biden's presidency,
revealing the background to his controversial decision to leave
Afghanistan. He took office faced with the challenges of a
lifetime: dealing with the continuing deadly pandemic and its
crushing economic impact, all the while navigating a bitter and
disabling partisan divide, and the hovering, dark shadow of the
former president. 'We have much to do in this winter of peril,'
Biden declared at his inauguration. Peril is the extraordinary
story of the end of one presidency and the beginning of another.
The culmination of Bob Woodward's bestselling trilogy on the Trump
presidency, along with Fear and Rage, it is an essential read for
anyone wanting to understand this tumultuous period.
Designed to work with the third or fourth Edition of the Big Book.
These three workbooks feature information to reinforce important
points in A Program for You and include exercises for
self-examination and disclosure. Clear discussions of each Step and
probing questions offer us a guide to personal insight and
reflection.
Lala plays with her diamond ring, mesmerized as always by the
distant world it conjures for her and the jewel's extraordinary
trajectory from Tsarist Russia to twenty-first-century England. An
unexpected invitation has arrived and, at last, she will be able to
visit Lentvaris, her paternal grandmother's ancestral home, a
splendid East European estate where princely art collections,
spectacular jewellery, extravagant balls and performing dwarves,
coexisted with philanthropy on a grand scale and a deep sense of
noblesse oblige. The First World War irrevocably altered the
family's privileged lives, Lala's great-uncle was forced to flee
with the last of the Romanov dynasty and her great-grandfather
auctioned off his art treasures. The Second World War lost
Lentvaris for ever. Lala's grandfather died in a Soviet gulag. Her
grandmother, aunt and father survived harsh imprisonment and
afterwards crossed continents eventually finding precarious
stability living as emigres in South America. This is an epic story
of dramatic escapes, concealed treasures, a lost paradise, but
especially of the courage, strength and resilience shown by the
female side of Lala's family, and of the power of love, humour and
hope.
Die Vlaamse digter Eddy van Vliet is een van die kragtigste stemme in die Nederlandse digkuns van ná die Tweede Węreldoorlog.
Sy gedigte word gekenmerk deur universele temas soos die liefde en dood. Die digter bou met beeldende taalgebruik 'n brose binneplaas in 'n bedreigende węreld, 'n tydelike verblyf tot en met die onafwendbare verval.
Sy bundels De binnenplaats (1987) en De toekomstige dief (1991) is hoogtepunte in sy oeuvre. Saam vorm hulle 'n tweeluik van opbou en afbreek, van orde en chaos, van herinner en vergeet.
'There are some stories that require as much courage to write as
they do art. Peter Ho Davies's achingly honest, searingly comic
portrait of fatherhood is just such a story . . . The world needs
more stories like this one, more of this kind of courage, more of
this kind of love.' - Sigrid Nunez, National Book Award-winning
author of The Friend When does sorrow turn to shame? When does love
become labour? When does chance become choice? And when does fact
become fiction? A Lie Someone Told You About Yourself traces the
complex consequences of one of the most personal yet public,
intimate yet political, experiences a family can have: to have a
child, and conversely, the decision not to have a child. A woman's
first pregnancy is interrupted by test results at once catastrophic
and uncertain, leaving her and her husband, a writer, reeling. A
second pregnancy ends in a fraught birth, a beloved child, the
purgatory of further tests - and questions that reverberate down
the years. This spare, supple narrative chronicles the flux of
parenthood, marriage, and the day-to-day practice of loving
someone. As challenging as it is vulnerable, as furious as it is
tender, as touching as it is darkly comic, Peter Ho Davies's new
novel is an unprecedented depiction of fatherhood.
