What a great book so far! I'm a huge supporter of convoy of hope and all the do around the world, and this book does not disappoint! My favorite quote so far..."Disruptive compassion is a rejection of the status quo and the belief that a title wave of love and acts of kindness can heal a wounded world."💯💯💯

Carefully designed book, wish it had more information

The book is carefully, beautifully designed, it really shines in your bookshelf. Nevertheless, i found it to be lacking more thoughts, ideas - something to fill the void, to make the images meaningful. It fails to inspire, to make you ask questions, to expose the deeper structures and ideas behind the artwork. That's a big "sin" so to say, since maeda is well known for having interesting things to say.<br /><br />Without real text i think it's just a beautiful book, no more and no less than that. Great for snobs, or for having in your living room...

Very comprehensive guide

This is a very comprehensive guide on the different sides of "audio culture". Many of the authors and readings you'll find here are among the most influential on the subject...From Luigi Russolo's futurist musical manifesto to Brian Eno's ambient music, coming across Stockhausen, Steve Reich, Cage, Kim Cascone, etc. Very thought-provoking, it gives an interesting macro view of the world of audio as well as the different currents and inflexion points that have changed the way we perceive music and its context...<br /><br />I definitely recommend it, but beware: you'll want more!

Mucho mas de lo que te imaginas!!!

Para todos los que vimos la película y consideramos que con esto ya tenemos los detalles del libro, pues dejen que les cuente que la película solo refleja el 40 % de la trama, este libro tiene gran imaginación y pasión, busca entendimiento personal de tiempo y espacio, que todo ser humano se hace a si mismo, es fascinante lo mucho que te puedes identificar con alguno personaje.

when most needed

At the time when i was most lost, and had so much anger in my heart. One day my boss comes up to me and say, "here you go, i want you to read it!" that was it. so i was thinking, i cant say no to my boss... you know his my boss. And i turned the first page and then the next, next thing you know i was half ways through. This is a very easy to read guide, and its this way because everything it say you can relate it to whats going on in your life. A quote that change my life in this book reads as fallows...<br />"If you abuse yourself very badly, you can even tolerate someone who beats you up, humiliates you, and treats you like dirt. Why? Because in your belief system you say, "I deserve it. this person is doing me a favor by being with me. I'm not worthy of love and respect. I'm not good enough"<br /><br />I identified myself with this so strongly! of course i kept reading, im not going to say that the book gets you out of the hole youre in, but it does give you the tools you'll need to fight back!

Interesante

Al inicio y cuando indico el inicio me refiero a las primeras 5 paginas, estaba algo perdido. Ya que empieza con un panorama que no tiene sentido hasta el final de la novela. pero cuando entra en lo que es la historia de los protagonistas, no puedes dejarlo ir, es un libro que trae mucho misterio y que tiene muchos "Twist", de ese tipo que todo el tiempo que estas leyendo consideras que sabes quien es el malo, pero despues piensas que mejor te inclinas por este otro personaje y al final te sorprendes porque no supiste de donde salio. Creo que lo que quiero decir es que es una novela buena y recomendable para "teens" y adultos.<br /><br /> [[ASIN:8466644172 Hush, Hush (Sin Limites) (Spanish Edition)]]

Wow!

Sin duda una obra maestra. El sentido histórico y científico que le da a esta gran obra, hace que el lector sienta la pasión y miedo de sus personajes. Los detalles de cada capítulo muestran el talento que el autor posee al mantener cohesión en cada párrafo y entre la obra anterior. Este libro en particular, hace que el lector desee continuar con la trilogía de inmediato. Anne Rice:talento y gracia.

Al inicio el libro se torna un tanto tedioso respecto al número de personajes que se dan a conocer; sin embargo, al adentrarse a la historia en sí, toma un sentido dramático e interesante para el lector. Las narraciones sorprendentes de Anne Rice, hacen de esta obra una novela intensa; la cual no está hecha para individuos de mente cerrada. Anne Rice y su exquisito sentido del humor, al igual que pasión por la escritura, se dan a conocer sin duda en esta formidable novela.

Realmente doy mi recomendación positiva sobre este libro, gracias a el podemos entender muchas cosas que sucedieron al inicio de la saga también los nuevos personajes son para dejarte boquiabierta, cuando te enteras de quienes son te brinda escalofríos. Me encanto el final del libro no concluso, también este libro te da una indicación de como sera del panorama de la saga que inicia con angel mecánico.<br /><br />Definitivamente vale cada uno del dólar invertido!

Could have been better...

I got this book for the 'secret to self-patterning yarns'. Okay, this really could have been done in a much smaller book, foccusing on just the dyeing technique.<br /><br />the author threw in a bunch of patterns with a recipe method that will allow you to replicate their results somewhat, but I don't want to replicate their results, I want my own. For getting folks started on dyeing, this book will be just as good as any other dyeing book, but would not be my first recommendation.<br /><br />The patterns are also a little disappointing.

We need to understand the beliefs of others

Too often we assume that those who have a faith different from ours will be cookie cutter examples of their own faith system. The book helps show the diversity, even among those of a certain faith. It is especially good for evangelical Christians as each chapter concludes with how to approach other faiths. It is detailed. Google the religion you are studying first, then read this for meat on the bones.

However, I am thrilled to have read it! Ms. Goudge really had a way of thouroughly developing her characters and making you feel as if you knew them and their struggles. One sister was brought up in a loving foster home while the other was passed from home to home. They finally meet up and have to learn to love each other again and work hard to bring their family fully together! It is really a wonderful book and I highly recommend it!

A moment of time within a rich cultural heritage

From a person whose knowledge of the history of India was narrowly limited to the movie “Gandhi”: “Deflected” provides an entertaining journey into a bit of pre-Gandhian history, bringing to light the perspectives of people who were taken over by a culture that had both technological advantages and a desire to use those advantages to acquire wealth and assert power. Our world is now in a transition to one that increasingly acknowledges the contributions and validity of all humans instead of the select dominant few. “Deflected” brings insight into a precursor of this transition in a way that highlights the internal emotional and intellectual struggles of a smattering of southwest Asian personalities and backgrounds woven within a full spectrum sensorial description of the culture in which they lived. Personal and cultural interests vibrantly clash in this twisted escalating tale that encourages reflecting on the balance between individual desires and those of the surrounding society. It is a piece of a vast historical puzzle worthy of our attention.

History and Fiction Blended Together for a Fast-Paced, Engaging Story

Knowing nothing of Radhanath Sikdar, I picked up this book and found myself completely taken. There are a lot of concepts and stories flowing through this book, many of which (and whom) could have their own entire tomes. What I loved about Deflected was that it was able to intersect so many of these complicated stories in a way that didn't feel dragged or boring. Something happens on every page, and the weaving of the historical and the fictitious is practically seamless. Sikdar's story should be known to everyone, and Deflected, with it's helpful glossary, is a great way to introduce hopefully many to this great man. A quick, engaging read that gets to the heart of a many-layered conflict. High recommend!

Well documented historical fiction ... engaging read

An emotional story depicting love, friendship, and loyalty in the era of intercultural, religious and political conflicts during the discovery of Mt. Everest. An Indian mathematician, Radhanath Sikdar, who was a key player in the discovery of Mt. Everest went unrecognized amidst the uprising of Indian natives against the British rule. The book is well written and seamlessly blends fiction with historical facts and political events. It is interesting to know how race, religion and politics played a major role in the lives of people during the British rule of India. The detailed description of old Kolkata and its social life during the nineteenth century was extremely vivid. A tremendous amount of research and dedication went into writing this story. It is a wonderful educational book that should be incorporated during Summer reading in schools to create an awareness regarding the historical facts and events that took place during the discovery of Mt. Everest.

Excellent and educational historical fiction

Deflected is an excellent first book by Nivedita Majumdar and Swapnonil Banerjee. It's evident from the start that the subject matter, Radhanath Sidkar, the Indian mathematician who was instrumental in the discovery of Mt. Everest, is near and dear to them. They do a wonderful job of educating the reader, using the backdrop of a real page-turner of a story. I especially loved how they brought to life some interesting scientific principles in such a fun way. Also, the fall-out from the strained and imbalanced relationship between the Indian natives and the British contains lessons that remain important today. I certainly learned a lot and hope the authors continue to write!

Fictitious drama in political and social context of British India

The novel is an excellent recollection of the memory of the time before 1857 Barrackpore Breakout - called Sepoy mutiny. It is a drama. Rather I will call it a love story. This novel paint a beautiful true picture of the political and social structure of the time between 1840-1850 in the most lucid way possible. I am impressed by the flow of events; its twists and turns give a unique flavor to this novel. There are many historical facts mentioned in the book that were not known to me. With very little data, me myself like others ignored the fact that an Indian mathematician actually measured the highest peak in the world, except I learned in school - it was Radhanath Sikdar. What a big deal at that age? It was not possible to comprehend by a child's mind. However, this was the story of suppression, injustice, racism and many other factors in our society that we have or at least trying to overcome. When we learn a fact about a life in a book or in an article in one line, that one line could have been resulted from endurance and persistent of a full life of an individual, story untold, behind the scenes. This novel is an example of this fact, every story of every individual is worth telling. When I researched myself while reading this book (as I was surprised to know some facts: to answer, really did it happen? was it like that? type of questions), I was surprised at the amount of effort the authors put in the research behind this book which possibly took years, constant dedication and honesty. I would highly encourage to read this book to know what our history has endured. Off course the untold ones.

Engaging &informative

Set in the historic era of the sepoy mutiny, this story winds through the streets of calcutta and Chandannagar with ease and lucid description. It's a love story if you ask me - a story that takes its twists and turns due to external factors like race, politics and religion. In today's DE&I world this book is a great reminder of what history teaches us about the past and what we can learn from some of the incidents that actually did happen leading up to the Sepoy Mutiny in India in 1857. The amount of research that went into this story is mind blowing and as I looked through some of the details in the book - it was eye opening on things that we never question or contemplate when we are taught the history we are taught in school about the British invasion of India and the marks it left on that sub-continent. The Sepoy Mutiny was a great 1st start to what ended up in the freedom movement and the author does an amazing job of making you think about the nuances of life for a mathematician working for the British Empire at that point.<br />I would totally encourage everyone to get a copy - it's a quick read but it will stop and make you think at every step on why and how and what if?<br />Excellent job guys! I hope you have more of these gems to offer in the coming years.

Must Read “Historical Fiction of one of the Indian Mathematical Genius – The Late Radhanath Sikdar

“Deflected” is a very interesting and exciting historical fiction, which portrays the life of one of the great mathematical minds of India ‘The Late Radhanath Sikdar’ and the socio-political situation of India during the famous Sepoy Mutiny during British Rule. Late Radhanath Sikdar was a great mathematician who was the brain and backbone of determining the height of the tallest mountain in the world – Mt. Everest. He never received fame and acknowledgement for his great work and remained a very little-known person even after his historical achievement. This novel beautifully and heartwarmingly depicts his life during the times of India’s awakening for the fight for freedom. The authors have very skillfully highlighted Old Kolkata and the life of people during those times. The picturesque narration of the forest and the hunting scenarios during that era make history alive. The novel is a very successful outcome of meticulous research and dedicated writing skill. This novel has the strength of portraying the past in the eyes of the readers and is a must-read for young and old.

Fascinating historical fiction

What a fascinating read! You see the drama of historical events leading up to 1857 the Indian uprising against British rule, through the divergent viewpoints of an eclectic cast of characters. I was swept up in the events and emotions of that time and place. The subplots and minor characters are just as compelling as the main story arc about the Indian mathematician who discovered Mt Everest and his British lady love, and it culminates in a thrilling yet poignant conclusion. I read this entire book in one sitting, but will savor the details slowly the second time around.

A story that will change you, destroy you and give you hope

Beautiful, strong, real, heart-breaking, raw. This book is all of that and much more.<br /><br />A story about war - where each character is seen fighting against several enemies, one of them common to all, and the rest their own personal demons, for war makes them face not only the destructive measures that are laid upon them but also the morally cuestionable actions that they themselves are to be accounted for.<br /><br />While they whithhold themselves from asking a crucial question, will it be worth it?<br /><br />If you want to be touched, shaken, emptied, brought to tears, and if you want to build yourself up to be more than you were, this is your book.

Best comic books for kids ever written, arguably.

As a child, grew up very poor, and parents didn’t have a lot of money for books, so the local library was all we had. Tintin was a cherished part of my childhood. Was thrilled when I found a new Tintin comic book that I hadn’t read before, and of course, as soon as I had enough money as a young man, I immediately bought myself the entire set, and considered myself quite wealthy. As Cicero said, “if you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need”<br /><br />The author, Hergé, did an amazing job creating unforgettable characters. Captain Haddock, a man who has problems with his anger and adult beverages, but is made into an immensely likeable character. Calculus, the deaf and absentminded professor, Snowy, the loyal dog with courage, the Thom(p)son twins, bumbling detectives, who mean well, and so many villains. Hergé did a masterful job showing who the villains are behind all our wars without being called an “anti-semite”. That sentence may get my comment banned from Amazon, as criticism of one religion of the great five is absolutely not allowed.<br /><br />Anyways, will always have great memories of these books, and it’s my opinion that every boy should be given the gift of these amazing treasures of adventure, laughter, virtue, courage, and human nature.

Rely on the Unofficial Guides

As a previous user of the Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World, the Unofficial Guide to London was the first travel book my wife and I purchased for our June 2009 trip to London. Overall, we were not disappointed. We carried this book with us everywhere during our stay in London. The book provides excellent information about maps, sights, attractions, and the culture of London. I did not give the book five stars because I feel that the book seriously lacked good information about restaurants and other eating options. If you rely upon your travel guide to help find a place to eat, you'll definitely need to buy a second guide. I also would have liked to have seen suggested daily schedules similar to the Disney guide. Again, I feel that the Unofficial Guide is a wonderful travel companion. Do not waste your time and money on any Rick Steves travel guide! Buy the Unoffical Guide to London.
