Description:

The Himalayas, the tallest and the youngest mountains in the world, spread from Afghanistan and Pakistan through India, Bhutan, Nepal and Myanmar with their northern extrusions – the Ximalaya Shanmai – across the Tibetan plateau in China. Despite border restrictions, the inhabitants of this region continue to share a trans-Himalayan identity, fragile yet enduring. The Himalayan Arc focuses on a crucial, enthralling, politically turbulent, yet often underreported part of this Himalayan belt – the ‘East of South-east’. With over thirty contributors, it attempts to describe the sense of shared lives and cultural connectivity between the denizens of this area. Poetry, fiction, and mysticism are juxtaposed with essays on strategy and diplomacy, espionage and the deep state, photographs, folk tales, and fables. From the unique identity of a Himalayan citizen to the ‘geopolitical jigsaw’ that is the region; from the hidden spy network in Kathmandu to intimate portraits of Shillong, Gangtok, Darjeeling, and other cities; from the insurgency in Assam to a portrait of Myanmar under military rule, the essays, stories, and poems in this anthology highlight the similarities within the differences of the Himalayan belt. Providing insider and outsider perspectives on this intriguing part of the world, The Himalayan Arc is a travel book with a difference.

Description:

A STORY OF TEN SIBLINGS, WHO FELL TO THE MORTAL WORLD AND CHANGED THE FACE OF HISTORY FOREVER…

"The Great Clans are the greatest servants of the Emperor — and perhaps the greatest threat to the stability of the Empire."
— Soshi Saibankan

The Emerald Empire of Rokugan has long been one of war and conflict, a great history forged at its heart by an unending sibling rivalry. The Great Clans of Rokugan were founded by the Kami, children of the Sun and Moon, and their adherence to their founder’s personalities and vows have defined the Empire. Each seeks to gain ground over the others, a continuing reflection of the Tournament of the Kami that set the Empire in motion so long ago.

The Great Clans takes you deep into the psyche and workings of the The Great Clans of Rokugan. The book features a full chapter on each of the Great Clans, focusing on on the various families, histories, and culture that makes up those Clans. Additional chapters also cover the evil Spider Clan, the return of Heritage Tables, and vassal families. This 304-page sourcebook features:

A thorough look at each Great Clan, including the individual families that comprise them. Each also features new schools, paths, kata, ancestors, and more.
Heritage tables to develop more interesting backgrounds for PCs and NPCs. Learn the deeds, and misdeeds, of your forefathers and how those affect your character’s life.
Details on all the small vassal families that serve and support the Great Clans, without which they could barely operate — though they may be loath to admit it.

The Great Clans will give players and GMs many more tools to make their journey through the Emerald Empire robust and exciting.

NOMINATED FOR SIX OSCARS, INCLUDING BEST PICTURE, SUPPORTING ACTOR AND SUPPORTING ACTRESS . . .
Aged just five, Saroo Brierley lost all contact with his family in India, after waiting at a train station for his brother who never returned.

Discover the inspiring, true story behind the film, Lion. This is the heart breaking and original tale of the lost little boy who found his way home twenty-five years later.
——————
As a five-year old in India, I got lost on a train. Twenty-five years later, I crossed the world to find my way back home.

Five-year-old Saroo lived in a poor village in India, in a one-room hut with his mother and three siblings… until the day he boarded a train alone and got lost. For twenty-five years.
This is the story of what happened to Saroo in those twenty-five years. How he ended up on the streets of Calcutta. And survived. How he then ended up in Tasmania, living the life of an upper-middle-class Aussie. And how, at thirty years old, with some dogged determination, a heap of good luck and the power of Google Earth, he found his way back home.
Lion is a triumphant true story of survival against all odds and a shining example of the extraordinary feats we can achieve when hope endures.

Tenzin Gyatso, an unconventional Buddhist monk and creator of the Snow Crane martial arts, is tasked with an unusual mission – to guide and protect three supposed pilgrims across the unforgiving Tibetan Plateau to the sacred site of Muktinath in northern Nepal.
The pilgrims are the young Pema accompanied by his two older companions, Kharma and Nomkai. However, as they brave the harsh, bandit-infested wilderness, Tenzin begins to suspect his charges are not what they seem. He finds himself inextricably ensnared in their desperate quest for freedom, one cloaked in secrecy and fraught with peril.
With his formidable Snow Crane skills, Tenzin becomes their only hope against the merciless landscape and the threats lurking at every turn. But can he place his faith in these mysterious travellers? And what profound truth lies at the heart of their daring journey across the Roof of the World?
An atmospheric tale of courage, deception, and the unbreakable human spirit, The Snow Crane’s Flight takes you on an epic adventure through the ancient realms of the Himalayas. One monk’s vows will be pushed to their limits to protect his newfound comrades…and the shattering secrets they harbour.

Description:

An alien race makes a chilling first impression in this story that "evokes difficult moral issues" from the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author (SF Site). A corporate ship’s complicated business venture involves the experimental use of new technology to scoop a sample from the core of a neutron star. The discovery of a dead civilization on a nearby solar system serves as a fascinating distraction. The same can’t be said for the alien spaceship circling around them. Becoming the first expedition from Earth to encounter extraterrestrial life is not on the agenda-and the crewmembers find themselves out of their depth. Treading a fine line between diplomacy and danger, the chief executive officer of the mission-a man of Sioux ancestry-decides to open up lines of communication with the aliens. And though they may be more advanced than humanity, the aliens’ account of past actions calls to mind a dark age in human history, one that the CEO will make sure is never repeated. Not on his watch . . . "With this story, Silverberg proves he knows his science and is willing to do a story grounded in hard sf." -MarzAat Praise for Robert Silverberg and his short stories "When Silverberg is at the top of his form, no one is better." -George R. R. Martin, #1 New York Times-bestselling author "Silverberg’s creative story premises are matched by a remarkable ability to make his characters sympathetic, whether human or not." -Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Decades after being originally published, most of these stories are still just as entertaining and powerful as they were when first released. A singularly unique collection." -Kirkus Reviews
