Frankenstein: फ्रँकेन्स्टाइन
by Narayan Dharapजनित्राचं चाक पिसाटासारखं गरगरत होतं. त्याच्या ठिणग्यांचा प्रकाश पडत होता. त्या प्रकाशात मला त्या प्राण्याचा चेहरा दिसला. ओठ मागे गेले होते. आणि दात एका क्रूर हास्यात विचकले होते. तो चेहरा एका बेभान, हिंस्र पिसाट पशूचा होता! फाटक्या बँडेजमध्ये गुंडाळलेल्या त्या जाडजूड हाताचा माझ्या मानेभोवती विळखा पडला आणि एका हिसक्यासरशी मी प्रयोगशाळेत खेचला गेलो. केवढा दैवदुर्विलास! इतकी प्रगती झाल्यावर जे मी निर्माण केलं होतं त्याच्याच हातून माझा नाश व्हावा... निसर्गाच्या पंचमहाभूतांनी काहीतरी खेळ करावा, एखादी विकृती अपघाताने जन्माला यावी आणि त्या हाती मला मरण यावे...! कोण आहे हा बॅरेन फ्रँकेन्स्टाइन? प्रयोगशाळेत तो कसले प्रयोग करत होता? हिंस्र, पिसाट, राक्षसी मानवाचा त्याला कशामुळे सामना करावा लागला? या सर्व प्रश्नांची उत्तरं जाणून घेण्यासाठी आणि नारायण धारपांच्या रहस्यात्मक लेखनाचा थरार अनुभवण्यासाठी प्रस्तुत कादंबरी जरूर वाचा.

H M S Ulysses: एच एम एस युलिसिस
by Alistair MacLeanही कहाणी दुसऱ्या महायुद्धाच्या काळातील आहे. रशियाचे जर्मनीशी युद्ध सुरू असते, आणि एफआर ७७ या मालवाहू आणि तेलवाहू जहाजांच्या ताफ्यामार्फत रशियाला जर्मनीशी लढण्यासाठी अत्यंत निकड असलेले युद्धसाहित्य पोचवण्याची योजना असते. एचएमएस युलिसिस ही ब्रिटिश आरमारातील एक क्रूझर जातीची युद्धनौका या ताफ्याची फ्लॅगशिप असते. तिच्या साथीला आणखी छत्तीRस जहाजे या ताफ्यात असतात. भयंकर थंडी, बर्फवृष्टी, प्रचंड वादळे, चिडलेले व निराश झालेले नौसैनिक, त्यांची झालेली प्रचंड उपासमार, थकवा, झोपेचा अभाव, आणि ताफ्याने रशियापर्यंत पोचता कामा नये यासाठी सर्वतोपरी प्रयत्न करणारी जर्मन बॉम्बर विमाने, युद्धनौका आणि यू-बोटी, अशा पार्श्वभूमीवरील या ताफ्याच्या– आणि पर्यायाने युलिसिसच्या– प्रवासाची ही कहाणी आहे. या सगळ्या विपरीत परिस्थितीला युलिसिसवरील सगळे अधिकारी आणि नौसैनिक ज्या असीम धैर्याने आणि शौर्याने तोंड देतात त्याचे भेदक वर्णन ‘एचएमएस युलिसिस’ या कादंबरीत आहे.
Aamcha Baap Aan Aamhi: आमचा बाप आन् आम्ही
by Dr Narendra Jadhavही कथा आहे सामान्यातील एका असामान्याची. महत्पदावर चढलेल्या त्याच्या पुत्रांनी त्याच्या संबंधीच्या आठवणी - त्याच्याच शब्दात - ग्रथित केल्या आहेत. हे गृहस्थ पिताजी नव्हते. वडीलही नव्हते. तर सरळ, निर्मळ 'बाप' होते. बाप-मुलाच्या जिव्हाळ्याच्या नात्यावर प्रतिष्ठित शब्दांचे आवरण घालून त्यातील सहजतेचा गळा दाबणे त्यांना मान्य नव्हते. सहजता हेच खरोखर त्यांच्या व्यक्तिमत्त्वाचे, त्यांच्या स्वभावाचे आधारसूत्र होते. दलित समाजात जन्माला येऊनही त्यांचा आत्मविश्वास कधी ढळला नव्हता, अथवा त्यांच्या लढाऊ बाण्याला ढळ पोचला नव्हता. 'किसी को डरना मत' हा मंत्र त्यांनी आपल्या मुलांना दिला होता, आणि तोच त्यांचा जीवनधर्म होता. डॉ. आंबेडकरांच्या चळवळीने आणि विचारांनी ते प्रभावित झाले होते. त्यांनी जातीयतेची, लोकापवादाची, वरिष्ठांच्या अधिकारांची; आणि मुख्य म्हणजे दारिद्र्याचीही भीती कधी बाळगली नाही. त्यांचे जगणे काळोखावर मात करत पुढे जाणाऱ्या पेटलेल्या पलित्यासारखे होते. जिथे भयमुक्ती असते तेथे निरामय आनंदही असतो. सर्व प्रतिकुलावर मात करणाऱ्या अशा आनंदाची पेरणी आपल्या सुदाम्याच्या संसारात करीत ते जगत होते आणि सर्वांना जगवत होते. या आनंदाला सत्याचरणाची भक्कम बैठक होती. गोष्ट लहान असो वा मोठी, माणसाने खाटे-अप्रामाणिक वर्तन करता कामा नये हे त्यांचे ब्रीद होते. म्हणून त्यांनी लोकलमधून विनातिकिट प्रवास करू पाहणाऱ्या आपल्या मुलाला पाळत ठेवून पकडले आणि त्याला तिकिट काढायला लावले. अशा वातावरणात आणि संस्कारात, त्यांनी आपल्या मुलांना वाढवले. असा बाप मिळणे हे मुलांचे सद्भाग्य आणि अशी मुले मिळणे हे बापाचेही सद्भाग्य. सामाजिक सोपानाच्या अंतिम पायरीवर जन्मलेली मुले आज त्याच सोपानाच्या सर्वोच्च पायरीवर उभी आहेत. कोणत्याही क्षेत्रात जा, पण त्यात सर्वोच्च यश मिळवा ह्या त्यांच्या आदेशाचे त्यांनी पूर्णतः पालन केले आहे. त्यांनी अमेरिकेत संशोधन करणाऱ्या नरेंद्राला सांगितले होते, तुझ्या विद्वत्तेचा उपयोग रस्त्यातल्या सामान्य माणसाला झाला तर ते खरे, एरवी निरर्थक. असा हा बाप. प्रगतीसाठी मुलांना सतत प्रेरणा देणारा, त्यांची मने घडवणारा. मीपणाच्या बाह्यांगापासून दूर असलेला, आणि तरीही खूप मोठा असलेला. वेगवेगळ्या क्षेत्रांत उच्च पदावर असलेल्या त्याच्या पुत्रांनी त्यांच्या स्मृतीला वाहिलेली ही हृद्य श्रद्धांजली.

The Inflection Election: Democracy or Fascism in 2024?
by Mark GreenRep. JAMIE RASKIN (D-MD): &“This fine book is an essential primer about the stakes in &’24. We owe Mark a debt of gratitude.&”LAURENCE TRIBE: &“Written with searing clarity and biting humor.&” The Inflection Election: Democracy or Fascism in 2024? aims to warn busy and credulous Americans that this November will be a choice between a Party of Progress and a Party of Dangerous Extremism that may determine the path for American governance for generations. This is not a &“both-sides&” analysis by a journalistic spectator, but is instead a blunt &“one-sided&” guide by an experienced partisan—a public interest lawyer, elected Democrat, and prolific author. Mark Green makes the case for Democracy and Freedom and against Trump&’s blatant Caesarism and MAGA&’s fringeworthy agenda. While neither side has a prohibitive advantage as of mid-2024, the stakes are no mystery. If the GOP should now win both the White House and Congress—with a reactionary Supreme Court already in its column—a numerical minority of Americans would then enjoy a temporary governing majority that could cancel a century of progress and make the world&’s oldest democracy no longer democratic. There must be a word that binds together such threats but it sure isn't &“conservative&” in the way Eisenhower, Reagan, or the Bushes would have understood it. For if all the corruption, lies, violence, and racism described throughout The Inflection Election were aggregated into a pointillist painting, the portrait would resemble Orbán far more than Obama. This is extremism posing as patriotism . . . whether it&’s called fascism, dictatorship, autocracy, or authoritarianism. While the country can hope that the courts will hold Trump accountable, Green concludes that crushing it in 2024 is the best way to return to a healthy two-party system where losers respect the choice of voters, like in the good old days of 1789–2020. In a likely close 2024 national contest, The Inflection Election is an entertaining and informative manifesto that will become part of this year&’s urgent political conversation. It is a one-stop primer that synthesizes fresh phrases, narratives and values to keep Democrats on offense and Trump&’s MAGA party on-the-ropes. Green&’s conclusion is that the GOP &“sounds like a casting call for the delirious jury in the classic film Idiocracy, which was supposed to be a satire on reverse Darwinism, not reality TV.&” November 5, 2024 is either/or time. This book explains why.
Halo: Meridian Divide (Halo #2)
by Cassandra Rose ClarkeDiscover the original novel set in the Halo universe, based on the New York Times bestselling video game series!It&’s been three months since the colony world of Meridian was invaded by the alien theocratic alliance known as the Covenant. Under the close watch of the military, teenagers Evie, Dorian, Saskia, and Victor have been put into an accelerated training program with ONI, the Office of Naval Intelligence. And to the quartet&’s surprise, ONI has a mission for them: return to their hometown on Meridian and monitor the Covenant&’s efforts to retrieve an ancient Forerunner artifact of untold power. But what seems like a simple job quickly spirals out of their control. With the artifact at risk of falling into Covenant hands, the stakes are raised, and ONI tasks the teens and their team of militia fighters with extracting the artifact for study. After a series of missteps with command, the group must take matters into their own hand, journeying far behind enemy lines and into the heart of the war zones on a ravaged Meridian.
Uncomfortable Conversations with a Jew
by Emmanuel Acho Noa TishbyFrom two New York Times bestselling authors, a timely, disarmingly honest, and thought-provoking investigation into antisemitism that connects the dots between the tropes and hatred of the past to our current complicated moment. <P><P> For Emmanuel Acho and Noa Tishby no question about Jews is off-limits. They go there. They cover Jews and money. Jews and power. Jews and privilege. Jews and white privilege. The Black and Jewish struggle. Emmanuel asks, Did Jews kill Jesus? To which Noa responds, “Why are Jewish people history’s favorite scapegoat?” They unpack Judaism itself: Is it a religion, culture, a peoplehood, or a race? And: Are you antisemitic if you’re anti-Zionist? <P><P> The questions—and answers—might make you squirm, but together, they explain the tropes, stereotypes, and catalysts of antisemitism in America today. <P><P> The topics are complicated and Acho and Tishby bring vastly different perspectives. Tishby is an outspoken Israeli American. Acho is a mild-mannered son of a Nigerian American pastor. But they share a superpower: an uncanny ability to make complicated ideas easy to understand so anyone can follow the straight line from the past to our immediate moment—and then see around corners. Acho and Tishby are united by the core belief that hatred toward one group is never isolated: if you see the smoke of bigotry in one place, expect that we will all be in the fire. <P><P> Informative and accessible, Uncomfortable Conversations with a Jew has a unique structure: Acho asks questions and Tishby answers them with deeply personal, historical, and political responses. This book will enable anyone to explain—and identify—what Jewish hatred looks like. It is a much-needed lexicon for this fraught moment in Jewish history. As Acho says, “Proximity breeds care and distance breeds fear.” <p> <b>New York Times Bestseller</b>

Domestic Enemies: The Founding Fathers' Fight Against the Left
by Daniel GreenfieldThe secret history of the American Left.The Left is America&’s oldest enemy. It was here long before the 1960s, calling for the execution of George Washington, plotting to stop the ratification of the Constitution, and collaborating with foreign enemies. Stolen elections, fake news, race riots, globalism, and socialism aren&’t new problems; Americans faced them from the very beginning. Domestic Enemies reveals the true origins of the Democratic Party and its radicals, who—even two centuries ago—were calling for the redistribution of wealth, the end of marriage, and the use of schools for political indoctrination. From political battles to street fights, Domestic Enemies takes you into the heart of a century of forgotten struggles between America&’s greatest heroes—such as Washington, Hamilton, Davy Crockett, and Abraham Lincoln—and radical villains like Aaron Burr. This is a 1619 Project for the American Left: a history of the Democrats as you&’ve never heard it before, told through the political debates, naval battles, race riots, scandals, secret societies, and domestic terrorism that made the Left what it is today. Learn how the Founding Fathers defeated the Left before, and how we can beat it again.

by Niklas Natt och DagThe spellbinding and eerie finale to the #1 internationally bestselling &“cerebral, immersive&” (The Washington Post) historical trilogy follows two unlikely allies as they struggle to end the reign of a powerful cabal of depraved hedonists in 18th-century Stockholm.For more than a year, Emil Winge has dedicated himself to capturing the diabolical Tycho Ceton, with the invaluable assistance of one-armed army veteran and watchman Jean Michael Cardell. Their mission is made more difficult by the ever-increasing paranoia gripping Sweden&’s royal family, who fear that a bloody revolution is brewing.

Writing with &“thrilling, unnerving, clever, and beautiful&” (Fredrik Backman) vigor and style, Niklas Natt och Dag brilliantly concludes his immersion into the dark and turbulent waters of 18th-century Stockholm.

Global COVID-19 Research and Modeling: A Historical Record (Data Analytics)
by Longbing CaoThis book provides answers to fundamental and challenging questions regarding the global response to COVID-19. It creates a historical record of COVID-19 research conducted over the four years of the pandemic, with a focus on how researchers have responded, quantified, and modeled COVID-19 problems. Since mid-2021, we have diligently monitored and analyzed global scientific efforts in tackling COVID-19. Our comprehensive global endeavor involves collecting, processing, analyzing, and discovering COVID-19 related scientific literature in English since January 2020. This provides insights into how scientists across disciplines and almost every country and regions have fought against COVID-19. Additionally, we explore the quantification of COVID-19 problems and impacts through mathematics, AI, machine learning, data science, epidemiology, and domain knowledge. The book reports findings on publication quantities, impacts, collaborations, and correlations with the economy and infectionsglobally, regionally, and country-wide. These results represent the first and only holistic and systematic studies aimed at scientifically understanding, quantifying, and containing the pandemic. We hope this comprehensive analysis will contribute to better preparedness, response, and management of future emergencies and inspire further research in infectious diseases. The book also serves as a valuable resource for research policy, funding management authorities, researchers, policy makers, and funding bodies involved in infectious disease management, public health, and emergency resilience.

Cultures of Work, the Neoliberal Environment and Music in Higher Education (Palgrave Critical University Studies)
by Sally Macarthur Julja Szuster Paul WattThis edited book considers the impact of neoliberalism on music teaching, research and scholarship in a higher education context. As a subject that bears little resemblance to other university practical disciplines, and fares poorly in a model driven by economics, the book considers whether musicology is a ‘public good’ or a threatened species. It contemplates what musicology can usefully contribute to a paradigm driven by economics, and questions whether it is ever possible to recover an ideal civil subject in neoliberal music academia. Contributions investigate what it means to build music research capacity in innovative ways, such as forging cross-cultural relationships, subverting conventional notions of quality and value, replacing them with knowledges and values that guide Indigenous intellectual traditions, and whether interventions into the legacy of colonialism are truly ever possible in neoliberal higher education institutions that celebrate difference and diversitywhile reinforcing social inequities. The book also explores the relationships between gender and music, music research training and scholarship, and whether the interdisciplinarity championed by the university is ever workable. Finally, it undertakes a cross-disciplinary, new materialist reading of a canonical musical work, offering a radically new perspective. The book will appeal to students and scholars of music education, musicology, higher education studies and the creative arts more broadly.

Effie Olsen's Summer Special
by Rochelle BilowThese childhood best friends swore they&’d never speak again. But a surprise summer reunion changes everything when it gives them the chance to turn up the heat. Effie Olsen thought she&’d never live on the tiny Maine island where she grew up, but she&’s returning from sixteen years as a professional chef in far-flung countries for one summer and one summer only. Her hometown boasts one of the best restaurants in the US, and lucky for her, Brown Butter needs a sous chef. Effie's eager for a chance at redemption after her last job went up in flames, but reluctant to set down roots in a place that reminds her of the ghosts of her past. Until, that is, she runs into Ernie Callahan, her onetime best friend who now works in the very same restaurant. Early morning swims and late-night games of truth or dare with Ernie remind her of what she&’s been missing while traveling the world. He knows her better than anyone, and it doesn&’t hurt that his smile lights her up brighter than the lighthouses dotting the craggy coastline. But their restaurant has a secret that&’s bursting at the seams, and if Effie doesn&’t keep it, her job will vanish into the foggy Maine air. As summer draws to a close, her dream job and the perfect guy are both within reach. Her salty seaside hometown might be the key to Effie&’s sweet ending...if she can learn to let her heart lead the way in time.
