LAPD corrects details of Aug. 25 officer shooting!

2011-09-02T02:15:00.000-07:00

Navtej Kohli Los Angeles

The officials at Los Angeles police police department have corrected various details of how a police officer was shot last week. The shooting took place on August 25 at Western Avenue on the 70^th street, after which the officials reported that the officer had been shot on the hand and two bullets were fired in his chest, but said his life had probably been saved by the protective vest he was wearing. It was also said that a suspect had been shot and is under arrest, and that the officials had been driving a black-and-white police vehicle.

But now in a complete new twist to the tale, it is now being reported that he was without the protective vest. While he did suffer a bruise or similar injury on his ribcage, which he said was inflicted by a bullet.

But it is still not clear until now whether his injury was actually caused by a bullet and, if so, whether something deflected the bullet it somehow passed through the car before hitting the officer.

The alleged strikes to the chest and the vest remained accepted facts so much after the incident, that even the doctor who oversaw the injured officer's treatment said the next day that the vest had saved him from more serious injury.

The name of the wounded officer has not been released by the media at the request of LAPD officials, citing reasons that safety of the officer and his family could be jeopardized.

The officer, a seven-year veteran of the LAPD, was released from the hospital after undergoing hand surgery and is expected to make a full recovery.

Now what made Los Angeles police officials backtrack from their earlier statement is still a mystery, which only they can unfold.

Pentagon Author View about Group and Investment

2011-06-28T01:26:00.000-07:00

Navtej Kohli Pentagon Investment Group

Navtej kohli bookreview blogs having great collection of world famous books and their authors , In the series of famous books and autors now read the fullfleged review of the book 'The Pentagon's New Map:War and Peace in the Twenty-First Century' is a 2004 book by Thomas Barnett. Many people having the idea that Thomas Barnett gave the his book during his article he wrote for Esquire magazine. Barnett figure out the foreign policy new strateies .

He also make an PowerPoint presentation for combining the public and private sectors, encompassing military organizations and foreign governments to work together.Barnet have aired on C-SPAN as of 2005. In December 2004, the network broadcast one of Barnett's recent presentations followed with a live call-in program in which Barnett discussed his book and its effects. See the article on Barnett for an outline of his ideas.

Thomas Barnett work apprecite by many like Air Force to give the presentation to every new officer who attained the rank of General.

Barnett got a golden opprtunity by his employers which is the Naval War College with choices if he wants then he can write another book or he can continue his duties . Then Barnett wrote his second book and its names is Blueprint for Action.

Navtej Kohli writes a quick notes about Pentagon writer new looks for social group gathering and middle east investmnet. According to him egions or countries lacking economic and cultural connectivity with the rest of the world are those countries where you find instability, threats to the international system and terrorist networks. On the other hand, economic integration and greater freedom in the Middle East and North Africa likely will have a major positive impact.

“Globalization, Poverty and Inequality,” a report published by the Progressive Policy Institute, a think tank based in Washington, D. C., says “no country has managed to lift itself out of poverty without integrating into the global economy.” Why does global integration hold such promise for the Middle East and North Africa? Look at the facts.

East Asia and the Pacific, a region that has welcomed global integration, has generated annual growth rates among the highest in the world. Plus, in the short span of 1990 through 1998, the number of people living in extreme poverty there decreased by 41 percent.

If global integration is accepted in the Middle East and North Africa, the region will be positioned to absorb new ideas, technologies and a myriad of other benefits from the world trading community. This will help the region diversify its exports toward agricultural goods and higher-value manufactured products, and in turn, create new jobs.

As trade and investment increases, the incomes of ordinary people also will rise. This will lead to higher standards of living and a better-educated and politically involved population. In turn, despair and hopelessness will slowly turn to hope, and those who were angry and disenfranchised are more likely to strap on money belts than bombs.

The goals of ultimately establishing democracy in the Middle East will, no doubt, be difficult to achieve. But open economies help. Once markets are liberalized, their political systems follow.

Fatal Misconception: The Struggle to Control World Population

2008-08-19T01:55:00.000-07:00

Navtej Kohli feels good and very clam after reading y Matthew Connelly book Fatal misconception, it’s a right movement with hard step to describe what be world population today and what serious steps would be taken. Navtej Kolhi had noticed that writer wrote in such a way that either, close to watch something wrong in next door and want to people to be aware about the truth .
Writer having keen watching over major social movements and social activities, many complexity with underestimation would be exist that can make uneasy fraction, tendencies and sub tendencies, vaguely in results unable to achieve the desired goal or even what be expectation not to be get. For that reason open his pen and fire upon world population and define what be exact mean. The explains his views by historical baggage and explain reproductive rights which are highly influenced by social Darwinists, Malthusians , racist eugenicists and many public advocate were against in the past . Betsy Hartman’s who is well known analysis of Reproductive Rights and Wrongs noticed that fight can be divided between two , one those favoring woman power through birth control and second those who want control the fertility of populations with financial incentives and coercion.
The writer starts writing about from 19th century, taking issue about higher fertility rates in US and UK, specially for non-Anglos people and decline of Anglo hegemony .
Matthew Connelly well describe Global population issue and movement progress from Delhi and Beijing to London, Geneva and New York. But firstly it came into the light when in 197o and 1980 , Club of Rome attracted world attention over “population bomb” and most also describe India in under threat , then China covert itself to one child regime .While we are taking political countries of various counties in the mid 1980 , then easily find that government took population problem seriously and want some definite step to control .Problem get worst when people concerns seems very different with each other many people are in believes that women must have to decide and take steps because it be in hand of woman to make safe and healthy environment with controlled population on the other hand many people believe that god want to produce children for protecting caste , creed or even race and on the other side a major community opposing to use of advanced population controlling techniques .
The problems can not sorted out and or even its just not enough to make a International organization to work for unless and until national government not supporting their work . Also if local bodies and group opposing government plan then its seems that soon earth having 10 billion people.
Either anyone believes or not but many times philanthropist or even government decision harm to society besides whenever tried to change the world. 20th century is the era when governess real did hard work over this serious concerns and showed their power to control population .They can into an general idea is that firstly woman have to be educated and smart enough to take step.
Columbian university professor Matthew Connelly well described with some historical events, about rise and fall of population-control movement. He had described that efforts of Margaret Sanger (1879-1966) for population problem, who and her allies encouraging woman to limit the fertility with the rules of "voluntary motherhood," "voluntary parenthood," "family control" and (tellingly) "race control and their combined efforts end up with Birth Control.
Moreover its be like a white paper showing deep study about that topic and showing what be exact means and what be targeted means . Also writer clearly showed that objective and subjective means of every moment have to calibrate such that a sound results come out easily. The reason behind choosing that topic and naming is book very meaningful especially when whole world under the threat of Population Burst. I think this book provides real way to study this crucial issue and make further hopes to make future strategy.

Describing more about book Banana and writer Dan Koeppel Navtej kohli says “It’s just be first part of Banana history, author must have know more about around the world for writing about Banana .”
This is a book which name give hint for what to book be written, yes its be true that Book is dedicated for Banana lovers gives various moods and lifestyle which are depends upon the history of Banana also gives various political situation and evens that are associated with the Banana . The question arises Why Dan Koeppel choose such as frutistic name for his Book, the answers is that Banana is only fruit which can be easily available across the world and many religious faith associated with the Banana and many political events and ups and down are associated with Banana cultivation.
Dan Koeppel Book in real be full description of banana history and its cultivation. The author Dan Koeppel wisely written its Book and avoid to give its personal traveling experience and given some straight biographical reasons. While Dan Koeppel started writing about Banana from where it came into existence - in an arc from New Guinea through Southeast Asia. And he describes its spread to Asia, the Pacific, Africa, and the Americas. Many events are also attached with the history of banana. The first is the growth of North American banana companies such as the United Fruit Company and Dole, starting with the first large banana shipments in 1870. Koeppel describes their role in Central American politics, most notably in the Guatemalan coup of 1954, and their domestic politics and the colorful businessmen involved with them. This book also throw light upon various old Banana verities and also new one .People always like banana to be seedless .Some banana variety was caused of diseases so that be soon replaced such that Cavendish which was be big caused of Panama Disease, caused by a fungus. Also author describe scientist research for making more banana breeding.
More about Banana can be found in that Book ,author also wrote about monkey and make some remarks over Banana and monkeys life , he stated that monkeys always like to eat banana , but the question is that ‘Who discover Banana Monkeys or other “. Before that man had adopted and used banana as fruit and start to use in daily life, banana is just nothing but wild herbs perhaps that breed unable to eat , but used as medicine , but after while man had started it cultivation , banana became more tasty and good to eat . But many point which associated with the Banana Dan Koeppel had forget to write about that banana is also related with various religious and rituals which make it more auspicious. Either write having idea only on America continent and in Asia and Africa many culture and religion using banana in their rituals. Moreover book is just like encyclopedia and throws light various uses and events associated with banana . But in my point of view that not be end of banana , some more book in the series Dan Koeppel will have to write.

2008-07-03T02:13:00.000-07:00

Navtej Kohli always curious to read books which have some fiction and imagination that can drive everyone beyond the world. While Navtej Kohli discussing Mary E. Pearson book ‘The Adoration of Jenna Fox’ , he was expressing like a child watching cartoon and said that ‘I am interested to read more pages of this book ,because I was such busy while reading that I felt that story was very short.’
The stories moves round on 17 year old Jenna who was awaken from a year long coma , and then the story had began to Jenna quest to find out ‘Who was I ?’ and what my existence . Her parent’s shows movie of her past times and also try to remember his old lifestyle but she was unable to find her old memories after checkout mind. But after sometimes she suddenly came to remember her past life and the real story now began at this point. While remembering her past life, some question had arises in the mind which she want to sort out . Many times she asked to know what be reason behind my accident and what up after my accident but her parents; family member escape themselves to sort out her problem. With some imagination and fascination author draw very beautiful sketch about past life and future life connection. In this beautiful story Mary described that Jenna , which suddenly awoke from one year comma , find herself as a child and unable to behave properly because she did not know about her past and she had to learn everything smile , behaviors , name by face even walk also , for the sake her parents show her movies of her past times .The problems had that now they had no past belongings means her family moved to Boston to California and now she had only her parents and grandmother .But she got some remembrance from her past memories , suddenly some question had arise in her mind “like what about her life before accident , why accident took place and what happened after accident. The author sometimes used poetry to describe Jena life and his view and what she thinks about life specially knowing pastimes. At last she came to know that somebody had killed her dog as well as her best friends and left her to die. That are the moment where such be came into mind that to stop reading.
An amazing science-fiction story, I would classify Pearson’s novel as dystopian It raises questions of medical ethics, bioethics, humanity, and how far we are willing to go to save someone we love.

Muslim Civilization : Umer Chapra

2008-06-25T03:18:00.000-07:00

Muslim Civilization: The Causes of Decline and the Need for Reform

Navtej Kohli is a very secular person and he never like to favor or oppose any caste or culture but after reading Mr Umer Chapra book Muslim Civilization Navtej Kohli had set up his mind to tell something.
It’s a book in which writer successfully correlate and abides modern economy with Muslims economy. But in my view that author had failed to make clear his vision either he was afraid or even he had tore some pages after writing that because he had not mentioned what be plane and how should it be framed. They had map out what problems that must be first tackle like , Muslims and economy growth are parallel running processing since last seven centuries , in beginning its moved upwards but now going downward comparison to other. Islam , Muslims and off course economy are in coordination means with each other , in other words either or not Islam responsible for less economical Muslims growth. While staring his vision Chapra had vision which originally define by fourteenth century philosopher/historian Ibn Khaldun. Which states that it be derived by nature that every government have to follow Islam which contains wealth , prosperity , development and justice but writer had told that Islamic societies began to decline with the failure of the political authority. According to writer before Islam there was sop many tribes living and then Islam wipe out these tribes into powerful , political and social Muslims society , but he was unable to point what be limitation while the government or society was in critical moves means limitation of Islam mostly he drew Middle east Asian society .But when we go further author of book describe Ibn Khaldun's theory to find out what be reason to fall of Muslims society .He writes “given the upward push that Islam provided to these societies, there would be little justification in blaming it for their later decline." Writer had declined kuran’s claim that Islam progress is not only one day work but he get mature by generation by generation. Like Ibn writer is also agree that Islam was not but internal political disputes are responsible for that. Further writer point out few points that political illegitimacy, general overindulgence in military campaigns, unjust taxation and detrimental economic policies was behind of fall of Islamic world. But after discussing various issue writer had came to point that reason behind the fall are declines in education, science and technology
Chapter five analyzes the decline in education, science, and technology, all of which were vibrant in the first few centuries of Islam. While the writer concerns and book is concerns I am very frank to tell this which I suppose be necessary to point out that writer took dare decision to write about that but he really confused what he want to write either Muslims , Islam , political or even economical condition or even describing history. More over its be good book for library and students to read.

The Roman Triumph : Mary Beard

2008-06-18T02:55:00.000-07:00

Navtej Kohli having much interest in reading in historical books , some books that be wrote during the era expressing clear image of that time of society but when a person write about past historical events , because describing that type in which the author was not lived like shooting bird in dark . Navtej Kohlihad read a book written by Mary Beard and the name of the Book The Roman Triumph.
Mary Beard beautifully described the Roman Era specially while get backed after victory and the scene was welcome in the city. When major military victory was be accomplished in ancient Rome, the general under which army was fought, passed through all main places and reached to the temple of Jupiter on the Capitoline Hill. This book show how in reality Roman victory was cheered in ancient days . Besides past golden days this books also shows shaded area in Roman Era.
What did it mean when the axle broke under Julius Caesar's chariot? Or when Pompey's elephants got stuck trying to squeeze through an arch? Or when exotic or pathetic prisoners stole the general's show? And what are the implications of the Roman triumph, as a celebration of imperialism and military might, for questions about military power and "victory" in our own day? The triumph, Mary Beard contends, prompted the Romans to question as well as celebrates military glory.
Mary imagination was just go beyond reality while describing the things which Roman conquers after victory such that animals which was not seen yet or even Roman Officers cruelty while they showed wars prisoners during victory march past .Many times Mary just want to ask that why people not celebrating his lost either in war or even game. Means the person who is winner always try to insult and tease the looser in such a way that loser either turns slave or even turns to became man eater tiger.

Navtej Kohli reviews ' Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People's Ears'

2008-06-13T22:59:00.000-07:00

"Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People's Ears by Verna Aardema" A review by Navtej Kohli

Written in a cumulative format this Caldecott award winning African tale, or better say porquoi story tells why mosquitoes buzz in people ears ( for those who don’t know what a porquoi story is, it is a story that explains why something is the way it is).
The story goes like this – A Mosquito says something silly in Iguana’s ears, who in response put sticks into his ears so that he would not hear such foolishness ever again. Now, another animal who got scared to see iguana that way, triggers a chain of chaos and panic roping in one animal after another. It continued until a monkey brings a twist in the tale. In the end, animals figure out the tragedy. They blame the mosquito and gets furious with him. Thus, according to this story mosquitoes buzz in people's ears to ask if everyone is still angry with them.

Book has some excellent illustrations that further extend and elucidate the tale. Each illustration is is made livelier with vivid watercolors and airbrush strokes. Each figure has been purposely outlined with white, to give stained-glass look. Sometimes the print is black on white and, in the endless night, it is white on black. As the animals explain the sequence of events, one part of the illustration shows what they think happened while another part on the same page shows what really happened. The Dillons make comic characters of some of the animals. An antelope, unmentioned in the text, mugs at the viewer on several pages, stealing the scene. A red bird, also unmentioned is on each page and seems to represent the reader there.

King Crow by Jennifer Armstrong

2008-05-27T22:43:00.000-07:00

King Crow, a picture book by Jennifer Armstrong, is a apt for the third grade students. King Crow is a fairy tale and the illustrations in this book are lush and dark. It's story of wise but vanquished King Cormac who has been blinded and placed in prison by his conqueror, King Bregant. Cormac is visited three times in prison by a crow who tells him just enough of what's going on outside to allow Cormac to seem to have magic knowledge.

The language in this picture book is haunting and there's a moral here, but not too heavily handled.

Rabbit's Gift By George Shannon and Laura Dronzek

2008-05-27T00:14:00.000-07:00

The Rabbit's gift is one of the children books that I liked a lot and think it's worth sharing it on my Navtej Kohli Blog here.

Rabbit’s Gift by George Shannon is a modern retelling of the "giving" fable. The spirit of the original story is shown by the re-gifting of a turnip by a well-intentioned community of animals.

Through the eyes of the adorable forest creatures that are beautifully depicted by by Laura Dronzek, the reader sees that while he is not responsible for the happiness of others, his actions can deeply impact those he comes in contact with.

The book has a very easy conversational style of writing. It's logical flow of events, and the twist to the original story make this book a new classic. Shannon has done a good job in telling a complex story in a plain language that can be easily understood by children.

Investigating the Russian Mafia by Joseph D. Serio

2008-05-22T03:54:00.000-07:00

This is an important book as it tells us something about the state of affairs in Russia and gives insight into things popular history is content to pass over. Joe Serio lived in the former Soviet Union for seven years witnessing the country and culture form many different angles. He was the only American to work in the Organized crime Control Department of the Soviet police and has been a consultant to “The New York Times,” “The Washington Post,” CNN and the BBC. He also played harmonica in a Russian rock ‘n roll band.

This book is very comprehensive with footnotes and flow charts making it worth a read. It is divided into three parts. The first deals with the term “mafia” as applied to the Soviets, the nature and number of crime groups in that country, and the role of the media. Part two examines key issues in the rise of criminal organizations and gives some perspective from the past 400 years that helps us understand the long-term context of the problem. Part three takes a close look at criminal organizations, business, and law enforcement—three spheres inextricably linked in a struggle for power in Russia.

I don’t know what that means for businesses, tourists, and even governments who now interact with that part of the world, but comprehending the past, understanding the larger context of existing problems and appreciating the things that keep us in ignorance of one another, is a start.

Churchill: The Unexpected Hero

2008-05-18T23:46:00.000-07:00

This book is part of the Oxford University Press' Lives and Legacies series. It is a very short book about Winston Churchill, an extremely famous British Prime Minister. Even though the book is short, it does a good job of detailing Churchill's long career.

The author's central theme revolves around the fact that Churchill's huge ego was both his greatest flaw and his greatest strength. He was a genius, but he sometimes made bad choices because he never asked other people for advice. For example, during World War I he made the disastrous decision to try to invade Turkey through the Dardanelle Straits. The failure of the operation led to the death of 46,000 allied soldiers at the battle of Gallipoli.

During World War II he redeemed himself. His strong stand against appeasement was key to defeating the Nazis. After World War II, Churchill coined the phrase the "Iron Curtain".

Our Story Begins by Tobias Wolff

2008-05-15T21:46:00.000-07:00

Navtej Kohli gives another review of a very light and well written book by Wolff. In this new collection, Our Story Begins by Tobias Wolff is more often than not begin by catching people in what seem to be mundane, routine positions. The start of the stories begins with the story "My friend Clark and I had decided to build a jet plane,". "They were doing the dishes, his wife washing as he dried," begins another. "On her thirtieth birthday, Ted threw a surprise party for Helen." In openings that deftly infer an ordinary world around them, Wolff’s lights come up on familiar people, in familiar places: They live in small towns on the West Coast. They are stuck driving somewhere they do not want to go. They are doing cocaine for a friend’s birthday. They are going hunting. They are building an airplane with a new friend but stop to visit an old one. They are driving cross-country to try to start a new life. It is Wolff’s gift to enter these worlds in a plainspoken way, one that seems matter of fact, but nonetheless determines a great deal quickly.

Take the sentences with which Wolff’s entire collection launches: "When she was young, Mary saw a brilliant and original man lose his job because he had expressed ideas that were offensive to the trustees of the college where they both taught. She shared his views but did not sign the petition. She was, after all, on trial herself -- as a teacher, as a woman, as an interpreter of history."

The next story, "Hunters in the Snow," plays with the forces that imbue a similar constellation -- fear, power, loyalty, being trapped -- in the relationship among three friends out deer hunting.

It is the everyday quality of the ingredients and recipes that makes these stories great. Each tale is delivered in spare, precise prose, and many return us to the spectacle of small slights, subtle cruelties -- that in turn lead one character to hurt herself or another to abandon someone he once said he would love. It is a very good bedtime read story.

101 Sonnets by Don Paterson

2008-05-15T01:09:00.000-07:00

101 Sonnets is a collection of sonnets from hundred and one different poets, with an informative introduction and interesting piece of commentary. In the introduction part Paterson describes the history of sonnet and some of its commonly known structures, metres, and rhyme schemes: most familiarly a "turn" between an eight line octet and a six line sestet, iambic pentameter, and Italian (ABBAABBA CDCDCD) or English (ABAB CDCD EFEF GG) rhymes. There are many alternatives to these, however, and Paterson argues that strict definitions of a sonnet are unworkable — "the only qualification for entry in this book is that the poem should have fourteen lines" (and one fails even that).

Many of the selections he has considred are unsurprising — poets such as Donne, Keats, Yeats and Dickinson as well as Shakespeare and Heaney — but many less familiar ones are also included. The sonnets themselves are arranged thematically rather than chronologically or alphabetically. All are properly organized by indices.

Eighteen pages of endnotes offer short paragraph comments on each poem, providing snippets of background and context and touching on issues of form or style. These are thought-provoking — just enough to make one stop and think without ever being obscure or pretentious. End note this book is a very good collection and a must read.

Racial Theories by Michael Banton

2008-05-13T22:47:00.000-07:00

Racial Theories is a book that talks about historical and typological overview of academic theories of race. The author Michael Banton touches on the critical issues such as ethnicity and discrimination. It consists many racial theories and would be of interest to a person who has a liking for this topic.

Banton begins with some general terminological issues, such as differences between folk and analytical terms and alternatives to "race". In "Race as Lineage" he then covers early modern concepts of race, based on the creation stories in Genesis and then on the work of naturalists such as Linnaeus and the German naturphilosophie school. Cuvier's confusion of lineage and variety provides a bridge to "Race as Type", where Banton sketches the theories of writers such as Morton and Nott in the United States, Gobineau in France, Smith and Knox in Britain, and Vogt in Germany.

Darwinian population thinking and the rejection of essentialism took some time to influence racial theories. "Race as Subspecies" describes early applications in the theories of Beddoe and Sumner, Park's social ecology, and some general issues with reductionist explanations. It was not till the modern evolutionary synthesis brought a more sophisticated understanding of human genetic variation that the need for a biological concept of race disappeared entirely.

The final chapter presents Banton's own ideas on how to build a "bottom up" theory of race. He argues that race should be considered a social construct within broader theories of group and category construction: socialisation, individual choice, political mobilisation, ethnicity, and nationalism. And he suggests that race will eventually be replaced as a social concept in the same kind of way it was made redundant as a biological one.

MacGregor Tells the World by Elizabeth McKenzie

2008-05-12T01:44:00.000-07:00

MacGregor West is a complete lost soul—eternally between jobs, nursing latent abandonment issues, sponging off his cousin while deciding what happens next in life. When his aunt sends him a shoe box filled with his deceased mother’s memorabilia, he notices that a stack of empty envelopes inside that box bear a San Francisco return address of his mother.

After getting these new clues to the mysterious past, he finds the address. There, at the mansion, instead of answers he finds Carolyn Ware. Both of them get infatuated at the first sight. Carolyn, daughter of literary legend Charles Ware, can confirm the envelopes are her father’s stationery, but can’t comment on their significance. The ensuing love affair between Mac and Carolyn provides greater opportunity for Mac to get to know the Ware family, yet the deeper he probes into a possible correlation between his mother and them, the more elusive both Carolyn and answers become. A poster affixed to Carolyn’s wall that Mac’s mother once designed; a photo of Charles and his famed publishing friend with Mac’s mother in the periphery—these reveal a complicity beneath the family’s elegant, wealthy exterior that they all seem determined to hide.

MacGregor, a gifted short story writer, can create a sense of place in just a few lines. It’s pure pleasure to read a writer who not only get her details correct but chooses such evocative, accessible language to paint a picture, such as when Mac nostalgically surveys his cousin’s Redwood City backyard.

I Hear Voices: A Memoir of Love, Death and the Radio by Jean Feraca

2008-05-08T23:18:00.000-07:00

Most of us who listen to Wisconsin Public Radio has, at some point of time, heard the voice of Jean Feraca. As host of WPR's "Here on Earth: Radio Without Borders," she is advocate and educator, an expert at mixing international issues with culture and aesthetics. An example of the program's diversity can be seen in any random week's schedule.

Now, Feraca has turned her craft on herself with "I Hear Voices: A Memoir of Love, Death and the Radio." She traces her own life and craft through a collection of personal vignettes, retrospectives that consider the people who have shaped her and her journey to become a writer. The end result is a vivid, often haunting autobiography that unites a fascinating life with a voice gifted enough to provide all the details.

Feraca's life is as diverse as the selections of her program - growing up in an Italian-American New York family, courtship in a monastery, a Jewish wedding in a nightgown, poetic rebirth in Italy with a sick child. She skims over her messy divorces and personal loneliness in favor of the epiphanies that saved her, concerned with the positives and the process. Readers are also treated to the aesthetic side of Feraca's work: the book is peppered with asides such as a commentary on California wine, tips on writing poetry and a report on South American tribes.

The book is written in a style that is expected from someone with so much of experience in public radio, a calm and literate voice which feels like it can nurture and inform on any topic.

Her writing's potency is also attributed to the characters she writes about, practically forces of nature in their own right. These include a brother who holds Sitting Bull and Mussolini in equal regard, a mother whose mind is rapidly deteriorating but exerts a manic energy, a poetry teacher more comparable to a master craftsman and an aunt consisting of ethereal sweetness. There is a mix of frustration at how difficult growing up with these people was, tempered with a wistful gratitude at being able to grow up with them.

Although she listens too closely in some cases - the last chapter on marriage and God feels almost thick after a glorious odyssey to an Amazon clinic - "I Hear Voices" is a memoir worth reading in depth, both for its burnished prose and the startling life it recounts. Feraca's life is as much a story as any of her show's topics, and deserves equal time and attention.

Standing Stones by Jean-Pierre Mohen

2008-05-07T21:59:00.000-07:00

Navtej Kohli Shares another book review of a very popular book.
Standing Stones combines great photographs with a short but informative overview of megaliths, covering their place in prehistory, history, and folklore and myth. Mohen begins with megaliths in legend, touching on pagan, Christian, and romantic views of megaliths, and their emergence in pseudohistory.

"The Druidism that Stukeley invented is a completely original idea. It has nothing to do with the actual Druids, Gallic priests known to Caesar in the 1st century BC — and was created a full millennium and a half after the last ceremonial use of the megaliths."
He traces the rise of antiquarian and scholarly interest in megaliths, and the development of broader public attention.

"Interest in megaliths spread from experts to the public as picture postcards were produced; they were especially popular around the year 1900."
He gives a brief history of the forms of megaliths over three thousand years.

The final section of the book, named "Documents", contains excerpts from writings on the megaliths: William Stukeley on the origins of megaliths, Gustave Flaubert on the excesses of "Celtic archaeology", an extract from Thomas Hardy's Tess of the d'Urbervilles, Gerald Hawkins on Stonehenge's astronomical significance, Prosper Mérimée on the Gavrinis images, and Mohen himself on megalithic art and on modern attempts to move large blocks of stone.

This is all rather limited in depth, as most of Standing Stones is taken up by photographs. The bulk of these illustrate the text, but there are also ten separate double page photo sets, illustrating Mediterranean megaliths — "Statue-menhirs and the torres of Corsica and the Balearic Islands", "Sardinia's giant tombs", and "Temples and hypogea of Malta" — megalithic traditions outside Europe — "The megaliths of Senegal", "The stones of the Toradja", and "Tombs and gods of the Americas" — and megaliths in art — paintings by Caspar David Friedrich, Johan Christian Dahl, John Constable and J.M.W. Turner.

Standing Stones is a nicely put together volume in the best Thames and Hudson tradition. It has little about specific sites, even Stonehenge and Carnac, and is of no use as a guidebook, but it makes a lively and attractive introduction to the megaliths of western Europe.

A former military commander, General Mackenzie Hawkins is back! In this excellent comedy thriller which would also make a rib-tickling movie, the Hawk (after having infiltrated an Indian tribe called the Wopotamis) goes to the US Supreme Court by claiming back the state of Nebraska on behalf of the Wopotamis! How does he manage? A protocol from 1878 found in a dusty archive. Armed with evidence the hawk transforms himself into Chief Thunderhead. As he hatches his devious plan, his old adversary is back, lawyer Sam Deveraux. With the assistance of Jennifer Redwing, a Native American, and assorted colleagues, they do all they can to stop the Hawk once again before he threatens national security - remember Strategic Air Command is on the land the Wopotamis want back!

Shortly after he makes that proclamation, a woman sailing alone is robbed of her jewelry and money while she is out of the cabin. Other robberies follow and the victims are all women traveling without a man to protect them. While the two detectives are trying to help the victims, a man is murdered but nothing is missing from the room. The man was very popular leaving Dillman and Genevieve desperate to find the criminals even if it puts them in danger.

Anyone who loves to sail the seven seas will want to read MURDER ON THE MARMORA, a picturesque who-done-it that will make readers want to go on a cruise. Although much of the book is concentrated on the mystery, Genevieve is kept busy trying to evade her ex-fiancé on board with his new bride and Dillman is trying to discourage a young woman from chasing after him. The surprise ending is just the icing on the cake for one of Conrad Allen's best voyage mysteries.

In a nut shell this book is worth a read.

Navtej Kohli "Not For Sale" Review

2008-04-15T00:31:00.000-07:00

Fight and justice against slavery in the United States and other parts of the world is the main focus area of David Batstone’s “Not for Sale.” Words used by David Batstone’s in his book feel such that author have live experience of the pain and tumor they had suffered in the slavery even such that author feel that not even they are facing social issue but also facing some personal problem. Its not about such like a good story that we had read and just clapping over it moreover waiting for any awards to be announced for this moreover it can grow pain in your heart for how slavery hazardous for humanity . Batstone skillfully networks together the different abolitionist efforts such as International Justice Mission and Free the Slaves, showing that this is a joint effort that needs more energy. I think author want to burn the heart of everyone and he wants that everybody should came up and fight against slavery. He writes with passion and high expectations as he challenges readers to become abolitionists, a vocation that he believes still continues. This book tells stories of college students who have made successful efforts towards abolition In my opinion David Batstone’s “Not for Sale.” Can burn fire in your mind and soul and you will be ready to move against slavery while you read children soldiers in Uganda of little girls being enslaved, of women continually tricked into prostitution.
According to David Batstone professor of ethics in the department of theology and religious studies at the University of San Francisco, executive editor of Sojourners nd author of the "America's Ethics Guru" column for USA Today Weekend , there are 27 million slaves are in the world and they are want to live freely. According to David Batstone children to teenagers and man to woman person of all ages are forced to toil against their wills in rug rooms, brothels, rock quarries, factories, and armies. These unfortunate souls are bought, sold, or forced across the world's borders to work for the personal grain of those who subjugate them. If they want to be escaped or even they disorder something more over person who is the owner of the slave find that my slave is not useful for us then slave must have lost have their lives . According to the author in the modern-day near about in the 150 countries slavery exist.
Award-winning journalist David Batstone reveals the story of a new generation of 21st century abolitionists and their heroic campaign to put an end to human bondage. In his accessible and inspiring book "Not For Sale", Batstone carefully weaves the narratives of activists and those in bondage in a way that not only raises awareness of the modern-day slave trade, but also serves as a call to action. With 2007 bringing the 200th anniversary of the climax of the 19th century abolitionist movement, the world pays tribute to great visionary figures such as William Wilberforce of the United Kingdom and American Frederick Douglass for their remarkable strides toward framing slavery as a moral issue that people of good conscience could not tolerate. This anniversary serves not only as a commemorative date for battles won against slavery, but also as a reminder that slavery and bondage still persist in the 21st century. An estimated 27 million people around the globe suffer in situations of forced labor and commercial sexual exploitation from which they cannot free themselves. Trafficking in people has become increasingly transnational in scope and highly lucrative. After illegal drug sales and arms trafficking, human trafficking is today the third most profitable criminal activity in the world, generating 60 billion annually. As many as half of all those trafficked worldwide for sex and domestic slavery are children under 18 years of age. Batstone tells the inspiring stories of a new generation of abolitionists arising among us to put a stop to human trafficking. "Not For Sale" tells the stories of rescued victims and their heroic rescuers, background briefings on human trafficking, and practical ideas that empower individuals and their communities to join the campaign for human freedom.

Some quaint jokes - kabuliwalah

2008-03-11T17:36:00.000-07:00

They had many quaint jokes,which afforded them much amusement. Seated in front of him, looking down on his gigantic frame in all her tiny dignity, Mini would ripple her face with laughter, and begin: "O Kabuliwalah, Kabuuliwalah, what have you got in your bag?" And he would reply, in the nasal accents of the mountaineer: "An elephant!"

Not much cause for merriment, perhaps; but how they both enjoyed the witticism! And for me, this child's talk with a grown-up
man had always in it something strangely fascinating. Then the Kabuliwalah, not to be behindhand, would take his turn: Well, little one, and when are you going to the father-in-law's house?" Now most small Bengali maidens have heard long ago about the father-in-law's house; but we, being a little new-fangled, had kept these things from our child, and Mini at this question must have been a trifle bewildered. But she would not show it, and with ready tact replied: "Are you going there?" Amongst men of the Kabuliwalah's class, however, it is well known that the words father-in-law's house have a double meaning.

It is a euphemism for jail, the place where we are well cared for, at no expense to ourselves. In this sense would the sturdy
pedlar take my daughter's question. "Ah," he would say, shaking his fist at an invisible policeman, "I will thrash my father-in-law!" Hearing this, and picturing the poor discomfited relative, Mini would go off into peals of laughter, in which her formidable friend would join.

Trouble through a Eight Anna Penny - Kabuliwalah!

2008-03-11T17:26:00.000-07:00

One morning, however, not many days later, as I was leaving the house, I was startled to find Mini, seated on a bench near the door, laughing and talking, with the great Cabuliwallah at her feet.

In all her life, it appeared; my small daughter had never found so patient a listener, save her father. And already the corner of her little sari was stuffed with almonds and raisins, the gift of her visitor, "Why did you give her those?" I said, and taking out an eight-anna bit, I handed it to him. The man accepted the money without demur, and slipped it into his pocket.

Alas, on my return an hour later, I found the unfortunate coin had made twice its own worth of trouble! For the Cabuliwallah had given it to Mini, and her mother catching sight of the bright round object, had pounced on the child with: "Where did you get that eight-anna bit? ""The Cabuliwallah gave it me," said Mini cheerfully. "The Kabuliwalah gave it you!" cried her mother much shocked. "Oh, Mini! how could you take it from him?" I, entering at the moment, saved her from impending disaster, and proceeded to make my own inquiries.

It was not the first or second time, I found, that the two had met. The Kabuliwalah had overcome the child's first terror by a judicious bribery of nuts and almonds, and the two were now great friends.

The Kabuliwalah Story II

2008-03-09T01:47:00.000-08:00

I cannot tell what were my daughter's feelings at the sight of this man, but she began to call him loudly. "Ah!" I thought, "he will come in, and my seventeenth chapter will never be finished!" At which exact moment the Cabuliwallah turned, and looked up at the child. When she saw this, overcome by terror, she fled to her mother's protection, and disappeared. She had a blind belief that inside the bag, which the big man carried, there were perhaps two or three other children like herself.

The pedlar meanwhile entered my doorway, and greeted me with a smiling face. So precarious was the position of my hero and my heroine that my first impulse was to stop and buy something, since the man had been called. I made some small purchases, and a conversation began about Abdurrahman, the Russians, the English, and the Frontier Policy.

As he was about to leave, he asked: "And where is the little girl, sir?" And I, thinking that Mini must get rid of her false fear, had her brought out. She stood by my chair, and looked at the Cabuliwallah and his bag. He offered her nuts and raisins, but she would not be tempted, and only clung the closer to me, with all her doubts increased. This was their first meeting. continue...to next post... Navtej Kohli

The Kabuliwalah Story

2008-03-09T01:15:00.000-08:00

This story has been returned by Guru Ravindranath Tagore. In my childhood, I was very fond of stories and Cabulliawalah is the story that I've read almost 50 times.. I am posting this story not only for my sake but all the fellow mini-bloggers who are craving for legendary stories and ancdotes of the past. Navtej Kohli

"A Cabuliwallah!

My five years' old daughter Mini cannot live without chattering. I really believe that in all her life she has not wasted a minute in silence. Her mother is often vexed at this, and would stop her prattle, but I would not. To see Mini quiet is unnatural, and I cannot bear it long.

And so my own talk with her is always lively. One morning, for instance, when I was in the midst of the seventeenth chapter of my new novel, my little Mini stole into the room, and putting her hand into mine, said: "Father! Ramdayal the door-keeper calls a crow a krow! He doesn't know anything, does he?"

Before I could explain to her the differences of language in this world, she was embarked on the full tide of another subject. "What do you think, Father? Bhola says there is an elephant in the clouds, blowing water out of his trunk, and that is why it rains!"

And then, darting off anew, while I sat still making ready some reply to this last saying, "Father! What relation is Mother to you?" "My dear little sister in the law!" I murmured involuntarily to myself, but with a grave face contrived to answer: "Go and play with

Bhola, Mini! I am busy!" The window of my room overlooks the road. The child had seated herself at my feet near my table, and was playing softly, drumming on her knees.

I was hard at work on my seventeenth chapter, where Protrap Singh, the hero, had just caught Kanchanlata, the heroine, in his arms, and was about to escape with her by the third story window of the castle, when all of a sudden Mini left her play, and ran to the window, crying, "A Cabuliwallah! A Cabuliwallah!" Sure enough in the street below was a Cabuliwallah, passing slowly along. He wore the loose soiled clothing of his people, with a tall turban; there was a bag on his back, and he carried boxes of grapes in his hand. continue...to next post...

Navtej Kohli: Creating a World Without Poverty

2008-03-04T00:55:00.000-08:00

Navtej Kohli gives a collection of views on the review for "Creating a World Without Poverty:Social Business and the Future of Capitalism" By Muhammad Yunus.
An inspiring volume full of practical information on alleviating poverty.
Some may be skeptical of his ideas, especially a "social stock market."
Muhammad Yunus is a humble man who would resist being compared to Mahatma Gandhi. But the two have much in common as campaigners for social progress. While Gandhi's goal was the end of colonialism, Yunus' is just as grand: He means to reform capitalism to make it a tool for ending poverty. Read the whole story on businessweek.
