The Evolution of Religion
History has an unsettling effect on religion. Like science, history is fundamentally northing more than a range of theories based on objective evidence. Mythology becomes a byword for a traditions history, and hestoryin the objective sense that we understand it today becomes distorted. Thus through time both myth and history blend into an entertaining story of the world around them and their role in that world.
Resilience, Survival, Perseverance
This book provides an autobiographical description of the journey of my life as a physician, a traveler, and a family man. Through a non-linear narrative style, it charts the obstacles I encountered and overcame, the life lessons that I learned, and the material and spiritual wisdom that I collected along the way. I begin the book not with my childhood, but with my first day in medical college. This decision hints at the impetus for writing the book; I began it in 2019 when my grandson started his first day in medical college. I felt that my life had come a full circle, and began writing my memoir. The book also traverses an important event in my life, the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990, i...
Dictionary of Indian Palmistry Symbols
Over thousands of years, Hindu palmists have observed special symbols located on the hands of people. They learnt that the combination of a few lines in the form of these symbols could add more depth to a palm reading than simply reading each line one at a time. In other words, the sum of a few lines on a hand could give a greater meaning than each line could all by itself. These combinations of lines were given names and entered mainstream palmistry in India through its shastras (ancient texts). This style of palmistry was mostly practiced by monks, hermits, and other holy people. Over the course of time, the people who could interpret these symbols became fewer and fewer until a large number of the symbols became lost over a period of time. This book attempts to save the remaining symbols that are still known for future generations of palmists. This is the first book of its kind to catalogue and record the symbols of palmistry that are used in India. It is a vital reference for beginner palmists and an essential skill for the experts alike.

Valmiki's Astropalmistry
The Ramayana was written by Valmiki, a famous monk, astrologer and palmist. He wrote a system of astropalmistry into his classic, and kept the details of his system hidden in plain sight using mythic symbols. This leads to many questions about the characters in the Ramayana that cannot be answered, but become obvious once the code of astrology and palmistry is uncovered. Why did Kumbhakarna sleep for six months at a time? Because this is the period of time that Jupiter stays retrograde. Why was Sugriva the son of Surya (the Sun god)? Because Sugriva's character is a metaphor for the way in which the Sun interacts with other planets in your birth chart and on your hands. The answers to these questions, and many more, are in the pages of this book. You will also learn how to use Valmik's system of astropalmistry to make predictions for yourself and others. It is unique to the other systems of classical Vedic astrology and palmistry and has something new for even the experts in this field. Valmiki's Astropalmistry is a vital book for those interested in Mythology, Astrology or Palmistry.
Architecture for Rapid Change and Scarce Resources
Architects, development practitioners and designers are working in a global environment and issues such as environmental and cultural sustainability matter more than ever. Past interactions and interventions between developed and developing countries have often been unequal and inappropriate. We now need to embrace fresh design practices based on respect for diversity and equality, participation and empowerment. This book explores what it means for development activists to practise architecture on a global scale, and provides a blueprint for developing architectural practices based on reciprocal working methods. The content is based on real situations - through extended field research and contacts with architecture schools and architects, as well as participating NGOs. It demonstrates that the ability to produce appropriate and sustainable design is increasingly relevant, whether in the field of disaster relief, longer-term development or wider urban contexts, both in rich countries and poor countries.
