Kiya and Kinjal return to the Kingdom Beyond. For their next
adventure in the Kingdom Beyond, twins Kiya and Kinjal must help
the flying horses with a sudden invasion of their lands. It turns
out that the tree ghosts are losing their forest! To save the
trees, and the Kingdom, they must use their collective knowledge of
this world and of course their magic!
From New York Times bestselling author Sayantani DasGupta, the
second book in a new series in which everything is connected to
everything, and it's up to twins Kiya and Kinjal to save it all.
Kiya and Kinjal have succeeded in their first quest in the magical
world of the Kingdom Beyond, but it quickly becomes obvious that
whatever good they achieved might not be enough. Their faithful
flying horses Snowy and Raat reappear and whisk them back to the
Kingdom at the behest of the magical Princess Pakkhiraj. There, she
tells them the water pari--winged merpeople--are slowly being
poisoned and it is up to the twins to figure it out and put a stop
to it. Fortunately, Kiya has the know-how to solve this
mystery...if only she can put the pieces together before the evil
serpent king, Sesha, knows they've reentered the Kingdom!

return to reluctant leadership in this thrilling sequel. Readers

Beyond, where there are always serpents to fight, riddles to
solves, and a corrupt government to overthrow.
From computer support and hotel reservations to laboratory results
and radiographic interpretations, it seems everything can be
'outsourced' in our globalized world. One would not think so with
parenthood, however, especially motherhood, as it is a fundamental
activity humans have historically preserved as personal and
private. In our modern age, however, the advent and accessibility
of assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) and the ease with
which they have traversed global borders, has fundamentally altered
the meaning of childbearing and parenting. In the twenty-first
century, parenthood is no longer achieved only through gestation,
adoption, or traditional surrogacy, but also via assisted
reproductive technologies (ARTs), where science and technology play
lead roles. Furthermore, in a globalized world economy, where the
movement and transfer of people and commodities are increasing to
serve the interests of capitalism, gamete donation and surrogate
birth can traverse innumerable geographic, socio-economic,
racialized, and political borderlands. Thus, reproduction itself
can be outsourced. This edited volume explores one specific aspect
of the new assisted reproductive technologies: gestational
surrogacy and how its practice is changing the traditional concept
of parenthood across the globe. The phenomenon of transnational
surrogacy has given rise to a thriving international industry where
money is being 'legally' exchanged for babies and 'reproductive
labor' has taken on a lucrative commercial tone. Yet, law,
research, and activism are barely aware of this experience and are
still playing catch-up with rapidly changing on-the-ground
realities. This interdisciplinary collection of essays assuages the
dearth of knowledge and addresses significant issues in
transnational commercial gestational surrogacy as it takes shape in
a peculiar relation between the West (primarily the United States)
and India.
Narrative medicine is a fresh discipline of health care that helps
patients and health professionals to tell and listen to the complex
and unique stories of illness. The Principles and Practice of
Narrative Medicine expresses the collective experience and
discoveries of the originators of the field. Arising at Columbia
University in 2000 from roots in the humanities and
patient-centered care, narrative medicine draws patients, doctors,
nurses, therapists, and health activists together to re-imagine a
health care based on trust and trustworthiness, humility, and
mutual recognition. Over a decade of education and research has
crystallized the goals and methods of narrative medicine, leading
to increasingly powerful means to improve the care that patients
receive. The methods described in this book harness creativity and
insight to help the professionals in being with patients, not just
to diagnose and treat them but to bear witness to what they
undergo. Narrative medicine training in literary theory,
philosophy, narrative ethics, and the creative arts increases
clinicians' capacity to perceive the turmoil and suffering borne by
patients and to help them to cohere or endure the chaos of illness.
Narrative medicine has achieved an international reputation and
reach. Many health care settings adopt methods of narrative
medicine in teaching and practice. Through the Master of Science in
Narrative Medicine graduate program and health professions school
curricula at Columbia University, more and more clinicians and
scholars have obtained the rigorous training necessary to practice
and teach narrative medicine. This text is offered to all who seek
the opportunity for disciplined training in narrative medicine. By
clearly articulating our principles and practice, this book
provides the standards of the field for those who want to join us
in seeking authenticity, recognition, affiliation, and justice in a
narrative health care.
This anthology of eight short stories and eight narrative essays
depicts diverse facets of the South Asian experience in the
American South. Some of them relate to the proverbial longing for
what the immigrants have left behind, while the others spotlight
the immigrants' struggles to reconcile with realities they did not
sign up for. In Chaitali Sen's "The Immigrant," Dhruv is unable to
talk about a lost boy because he feels "as if he were trapping the
boy with his story," as if the lost boy's story were his own story
of getting lost in a foreign country. In Hasanthika Sirisena's
"Pine," a Christmas tree becomes more than "only a pine tree with
decorations thrown on it" when Lakshmi's ex-husband lets her know
he is converting to Christianity "to get ahead in this country."
Aruni Kashyap's "Nafisa Ali's Life, Love, and Friendships, Before
and after the Travel Ban" tell a post-2016 immigrant story in which
love is baffling. In "Gettysburg," Kirtan Nautiyal asks, how does
an immigrant become part of the new country's history? Soniah
Kamal's essay "Writing the Immigrant Southern in the New New South"
reflects on what it means to be an immigrant writer and if one can
write from two places at once. Together, the stories and essays in
the anthology compose a mosaic of South Asian lived experiences in
the American South.
