Finding Neema by Juliet Reynolds Pdf

Finding Neema is the singular story of an autistic boy of Nepali?Tibetan ethnicity, brought up by the author and her Indian husband. It recounts the couple?s unplanned adoption of Neema, the son of their maid, Poonam; their efforts to have his autism diagnosed and treated; and Neema?s emergence into adulthood as a valuable, though still dependent, human being. Delving into Neema?s tormented early life and background, the book touches upon some of the more lurid aspects of developing world poverty and introduces us to an assorted cast of characters ? some appealing and some appalling, but all of them colourful. Important too are the insights into autism which emerge from the writing. Autism has become a burning issue of our times on account of its burgeoning incidence, and of the many controversies surrounding it, but there is very little writing on the subject outside the boundaries of the developed world. Narrating Neema?s story with compassion, frankness and humour and interweaving it with reminiscences of her own unusual marriage and life, Juliet Reynolds fills that gap.

The End Is the Beginning by Katrina Covington Whitmore Pdf

The End Is the Beginning opens with the tragedy and heartbreak suffered by the House of Nasor after winning a devastating war over Persia. The price of victory included the assassinations of the leaders of the Nasor clan, the husbands of Zenobia, and her cousin Kiah. Zenobia’s young son is the only remaining male of the Blood. She uses that to seize control, declaring herself regent and ruler over lands granted to her husband by the Roman Empire. Zenobia appoints Kiah as her counselor, but it quickly becomes clear that Zenobia’s plans are to end Roman rule and establish a new empire with herself as ruler. To make her dreams a reality, Zenobia makes treasonous moves, including usurping lands that have belonged to Rome for generations. Kiah counsels her cousin against such rash actions, knowing that Rome will retaliate with war. But confident in her ultimate success, Zenobia refuses to listen, until the day the new Roman Emperor Aurelian decides he has had enough. The result marks the end of an era and causes tragic consequences for the city known as The Bride of the Desert.

The Routledge Handbook of Religions and Global Development by Emma Tomalin Pdf

This Handbook provides a cutting-edge survey of the state of research on religions and global development. Part one highlights critical debates that have emerged within research on religions and development, particularly with respect to theoretical, conceptual and methodological considerations, from the perspective of development studies and its associated disciplines. Parts two to six look at different regional and national development contexts and the place of religion within these. These parts integrate and examine the critical debates raised in part one within empirical case studies from a range of religions and regions. Different religions are situated within actual locations and case studies thus allowing a detailed and contextual understanding of their relationships to development to emerge. Part seven examines the links between some important areas within development policy and practice where religion is now being considered, including: Faith-Based Organisations and Development Public Health, Religion and Development Human rights, Religion and Development Sustainable Development, Climate Change and Religion Global Institutions and Religious Engagement in Development Economic Development and Religion Religion, Development and Fragile States Development and Faith-Based Education Taking a global approach, the Handbook covers Africa, Latin America, South Asia, East and South-East Asia, and the Middle East.
