Описание:
For Emily Ryder, the turning point came on that fateful early morning when her beloved mentor met an untimely death. From then on, her guided tour to England turned into a search for a murderer, and she was suddenly up against a rapacious developer and a host of dubious characters. A rescue mission in the mist-sodden moors was only another prelude to all that was in store. Perhaps a growing relationship with Will, her mother's handyman, might prove a bit of comfort. Perhaps a failed constable and a gossipy tavern owner might come to her aid during the annual moorland fete. Then again, her personal involvement and determination to put things right might very well place her in even greater jeopardy as the mayhem continues to mount.
Описание: When disaster strikes, bugging out will be sufficient to escape short term danger. But when widespread collapse comes, survival will depend on having a long-term prepper retreat ready and waiting. Prepper's Survival Retreats breaks down the daunting task of strategic relocation into manageable steps that allow readers to create a personalized plan appropriate for their budget, needs and specific goals. No two preppers are alike and no two strategic relocation plans should be the same. In one case, a well stocked bunker deep in the woods will work. In another, a fortified working farm is the right solution. Or perhaps there is a group of preppers who wish to live as a self-sufficient community complete with their own by laws and collective defense. Regardless of the plan, this book will show how to put together the perfect survival retreat for every prepper.

Описание: From the early days of colonial rule in India, the British established a two-tier system of legal administration. Matters deemed secular were subject to British legal norms, while suits relating to the family were adjudicated according to Hindu or Muslim law, known as personal law. This important new study analyses the system of personal law in colonial India through a re-examination of women's rights. Focusing on Hindu law in western India, it challenges existing scholarship, showing how - far from being a system based on traditional values - Hindu law was developed around ideas of liberalism, and that this framework encouraged questions about equality, women's rights, the significance of bodily difference, and more broadly the relationship between state and society. Rich in archival sources, wide-ranging and theoretically informed, this book illuminates how personal law came to function as an organising principle of colonial governance and of nationalist political imaginations.
Marking a departure from studies on history and literature in colonial India, "The Oppressive Present" explores the emergence of social consciousness as a result of and in response to the colonial mediation in the late nineteenth century. In focusing on contemporary literature in Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati, and Marathi, it charts an epochal change in the gradual loss of the old pre-colonial self and the configuration of a new, colonized self. It reveals that the 'oppressive present' of generations of subjugated Indians remains so for their freed descendants: the consciousness of those colonized generations continues to characterize the 'modern educated Indian'. The book proposes "ambivalence" rather than binary categories - such as communalism and nationalism, communalism and secularism, modernity and tradition - as key to understanding the making of this consciousness.
This cross-disciplinary volume will prove essential to scholars and students of modern and contemporary Indian history and society, comparative literature and post-colonial studies.
