The book includes original information on the 1997 discovery of the hidden remains of his body and on the celebration of his life and ideals by the socialist regime in Cuba. It also looks at the reasons why leftist political leaders, movements, and governments in Latin America and the Caribbean still pay homage to this charismatic man (less)

His only son, twelve-year-old Babur, faces a seemingly impossible challenge. Young Babur is determined to live up to the example of his great ancestor, Tamburlaine - Timur the Warrior - whose conquests transformed the face of the earth from Delhi to the Mediterranean, from wealthy Persia to the wildernesses along the Volga.

But he is dangerously young to inherit a kingdom. Before Babur can summon enough warlords to declare him the rightful king of Ferghana, plots against his crown, even his life, are hatching.

And soon, as his obsession with Timur's legacy and the fabled city of Samarkand grows, and Babur becomes a man, he will discover that even the bravest and most fearless leader can be betrayed. With the wisest of advisers and most courageous of warriors by his side, Babur can achieve a great destiny and (less)

“Bryophytes are a diverse and distinct group of primitive plants, with about 25,000 species distributed the world over, making in the second largest group of land plants. They are considered as ‘amphibians of plant kingdom’ owing to their presence to aquatic and other moist habitats.

Bryophytes are characterized by the absence of vascular tissues and having a unique life as Buxbaumia. Though considered as “Lilliputains of plant kingdom”, Bryophytes have achieved the greatest gametophytic diversity.

The group includes three distinct lineages viz. liverwots, hornwots and mosses.

The present study provides the first hand consolidated account of Bryophytes of North Konkan, which includes detailed illustration, taxonomic account, ecology and phytogeographical consideration of 100 species of Bryophytes, belonging to 37 genera distributed over 24 families.

His argument could hardly be more topical. While Europe is becoming increasingly secularized, the rise of religious fundamentalism, whether in the Middle East or Middle America, is dramatically and dangerously dividing opinion around the world.

In America, and elsewhere, a vigorous dispute between 'intelligent design' and Darwinism is seriously undermining and restricting the teaching of science. In many countries religious dogma from medieval times still serves to abuse basic human rights such as women's and gay rights.

And all from a belief in a God whose existence lacks evidence of any kind.Dawkins attacks God in all his forms.

He eviscerates the major arguments for religion and demonstrates the supreme improbability of a supreme being (less)

`Most gulls don't bother to learn more than the simplest facts of flight how to get from shore to food and back again,' writes author Richard Bach in this allegory about a unique bird named Jonathan Livingston Seagull. `For most gulls it is not flying that matters, but eating.

For this gull, though, it was not eating that mattered, but flight.' Flight is indeed the metaphor that makes this story soar.

This bestselling modern classic is a fable about seeking a higher purpose in life, even if your flock, tribe or neighbourhood finds your ambition threatening (at one point our beloved gull is even banished from his flock). By not compromising his higher vision, (less)

The balled Jangiyar Geet, the 'Song of the warriors', is a very valuable source material in formulating the appropriate history of our glorious past--the War of independence, 1857.
