. ONE NIGHT IN THE SUNDERBANS This is the story of 8-year-old Diya, who lives with her family in a little village in the Sunderbans-with its mangroves, waterways and dense forests.

Diya and her beloved goat Mishti go through a serious of adventures that bring them face to face with some of the most dreaded creatures of the Sunderbans - the King Cobra, the crocodile and the majestic Royal Bengal Tiger. This endearing story comes with a message about the laws of nature and the precarious state of our natural heritage, which every child needs to know and make their own.

Given our bleak wildlife scenario, a story with a strong conservation message is very valuable in itself. But One Night in the Sunderbans, is special for other reasons as well.

It is a good story, told well, which grabs and holds one's attention. The powerful illustrations complement the message and plot Tannaz Daver makes the Sunderbans come alive through the careful use of detail the Genwa and K'nalsa flowers, the honey-collectors, and of course the Sundari trees.

A perfect addition to a family bookshelf. ~ Zai Whitaker, Author, Teacher & Environmentalist.

'--Mahatma Gandhi.The Bhagavad Gita, a scintillating jewel embedded in the great Sanskrit epic Mahabharata, is a dialogue between Krishna and Arjuna set against the background of war.

At the beginning of the poem, we learn that there is going to be a great war for the rule of a kingdom. On the battlefield, with armies of the Kuru clan ranged against each other, Arjuna and Krishna explore the necessity of war and the nature of the human soul.

The eighteen chapters of the Bhagavad Gita encompass the whole spiritual struggle of a human soul, and the central themes of this immortal poem arise from the symphonic vision of God in all things and of all things in God.Juan Mascaro's illuminating translation conveys the essence of the original Sanskrit in pure, poetic English (less)

"Elephants occupy a special place in the life and art of India. Since ancient times, they have been treasured and pampered as the ultimate beasts of burden, venerated as the vehicles of Gods and Kings and even worshipped in their own right.

Their legendary attributes of strength, intelligence, nobility and longevity are eulogized in myth, epic and popular literature. In the figural and decorative arts, elephants provide an enduring fascination.

Elephant Kingdom traces the myriad stories and symbolisms behind India's much-loved animal, through its depictions in architectural sculpture. At the heart of the study is a collection of photographs from a diversity of antique settings--many of them in remote parts of the subcontinent.

At centuries--old temples, monasteries, forts and palaces, elephants flank ceremonial entrances, enrich (less)

The Gandhian model of a nonviolent, moral social order can be ignored only at the peril of human survival, and values like tolerance both in private and public life have to become the guiding principles as Gandhi insisted for co-existence, argues the author." (jacket) [N.
