Hindu View of Life

A timeless treatise on what constitutes the Hindu way of life
Religion in India can appear to be a confusing tangle of myths, with many different gods and goddesses worshipped in countless forms.This complexity stems from a love of story-telling, as much as anything else, but it is only the surface expression of Indian faith. Beneath can be found a system of unifying beliefs that have guided the lives of ordinary families for generations. Here, one of the most profound philosophers of India explains these and other related concepts intrinsic to the Hindu philosophy of life.

Coming Back To Me: The Autobiography of Marcus Trescothick

A true-life sporting memoir of one of the best batsman in the game who stunned the cricket world when he prematurely ended his own England career. Trescothick''s brave and soul-baring account of his mental frailties opens the way to a better understanding of the unique pressures experienced by modernday professional sportsmen.At 29, Marcus Trescothick was widely regarded as one of the batting greats. With more than 5,000 Test runs to his name and a 2005 Ashes hero, some were predicting this gentle West Country cricket nut might even surpass Graham Gooch''s record to become England''s highest ever Test run scorer.But the next time Trescothick hit the headlines it was for reasons no one but a handful of close friends and colleagues could have foreseen.On Saturday 25 February 2006, four days before leading England into the first Test against India in place of the injured captain Vaughan, Trescothick was out for 32 in the second innings of the final warm-up match. As he walked from the field he fought to calm the emotional storm that was raging inside him, at least to hide it from prying eyes. In the dressing room he broke down in tears, overwhelmed by a blur of anguish, uncertainty and sadness he had been keeping at bay for longer than he knew.Within hours England''s best batsman was on the next flight home. His departure was kept secret until after close of play when Coach Duncan Fletcher told the stunned media his acting captain had quit the tour for ''personal, family reasons.''

An Idealist View of Life

''One of the most profoundly religious books of our time'' — The SpectatorScience is a system of second causes, which cannot describe the world adequately, much less account for it.

He discusses, drawing upon the traditions of East and West, the nature and validity of religious experience.Finally, he creates a fine vision of man''s evolution and the emergence of higher values. The range of subjects combined with the author''s own faith, undogmatic and free of creed, makes this book a philosophical education in itself.

The Al Qaeda Connection

Imtiaz Gul has written extensively on Islamist groups in Afghanistan and Pakistan for several Pakistani English-language newspapers and journals. He reported on Pakistan for the German radio/TV network, Deutsche Welle and for the German Press Agency, deutsche presse agentur until September 2006 and for CNN between 1998–2000. Gul appears regularly on Al-Jazeera and on Indian and Pakistani TV channels as an analyst on Afghanistan, Pakistan’s tribal areas and militancy issues. He is the author of The Unholy Nexus: Pak-Afghan Relations under the Taliban (2002), and edited Islam and Liberalism (2002). Imtiaz Gul currently heads the Centre for Research and Security Studies in Islamabad, Pakistan.
The face of Terror has changed dramatically. Today major terrorist attacks are marked by their meticulous preparation and deadly execution—as the Mumbai attacks of 26/11 have clearly established. The most important planning centre for these operations is the tribal region located on the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan. Following the U.S. action in Afghanistan in December 2001 many Al Qaeda and Taliban fighters escaped and settled down in these regions where, historically, the writ of the state has always been weak. Taking advantage of the inhospitable terrain and the porous border, Al Qaeda militants of multiple ethnic origins regrouped.In 2008 alone they launched over fifty suicide missions which have inflicted more than six thousand casualties in attacks across the world. In these remote valleys the fatal mix of ultra-conservatism, economic under-development, religious obscurantism and the absence of law and justice has resulted in a cauldron of militancy which is being fed and fuelled by the shadowy presence of the Al Qaeda and the Taliban. Ever-younger fighters are being recruited for suicide missions while music, shaving and the education of girls are proscribed by increasingly powerful clerics.In this book Imtiaz Gul follows the trail of militancy and the way it has evolved under Al Qaeda’s influence in tribal areas.
