Raja, Jungle and Black Moon
Written in a storytelling style the novel Raja, Jungle and Black Moon is the translation of one of the well-known novels of Hindi Raja, Jungle aur Kala Chand. The tale of Bastar is an old story that starts from the 13th century. The Raja who reached Bastar the most secluded jungle which was the abode of primitive tribes of our time, had to become king of this area which even didn’t have the word ‘king’ in the local dialect. The endless desires and greed for power and wealth were destined to a dramatic end for the small princely kingdom of Bastar. It was the threshold for the beginning of a new era of uprising of the people of Bastar against British rule, against injustice and for the acceptance of their King or Raja as the ruler of Bastar. Rendered in English by well-known translator Naresh ‘Nadeem’ the novel is a long saga of many small intertwined interesting stories of Bastar. With affluent small sentences with a flair of pure storytelling style, the novel presents the sufferings, pain, simplicity and happenings in the world of tribes of Bastar to make their life, values and way of living understandable for a common reader.

Confronting Metaphor in Use
It is timely for researchers to approach metaphor as social and situated, as a matter of language and discourse, and not just as a matter of thought. Over the last twenty five years, scholars have come to appreciate in depth the cognitive, motivated and embodied nature of metaphor, but have tended to background the linguistic form of metaphor and have largely ignored how this connects to its role in the discourses in which our lives are constructed and lived. This book brings language and social dimensions into the picture, offering snapshots of metaphor use in real language and in real lives across the very different cultures of Europe and Brazil and contributing to the theorizing of metaphor in discourse.
Reverse Symbolism Dictionary
The only dictionary of its kind, this greatly expanded second edition lists objects, concepts, traits and situations ancient and modern and gives their appropriate symbols. A companion to Symbolism: A Comprehensive Dictionary (2012), this volume presents symbols and their referents in reverse association (but is not simply a reconfiguring of information). Examples: a symbol for "hell" is descending stairs; an attribute of Saint Benedict is a raven; joy after sorrow is signified by the gemstone amber. Ethnic, literary, artistic, religious, heraldic, numerological, folkloric, occult and psychological usages are included.
ICGG 2024 - Proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Geometry and Graphics
This three-volume book gathers peer-reviewed papers presented at the 21st International Conference on Geometry and Graphics (ICGG 2024), held in Kitakyushu, Japan, from 5 to 9 August 2024. The conference started in 1978 and is promoted by the International Society for Geometry and Graphics, which aims to foster international collaboration and stimulate the scientific research and teaching methodology in the fields of Geometry and Graphics. The ICGG 2024 covered the following five topics taken over from ICGG 2022: Theoretical Graphics and Geometry; Applied Geometry and Graphics; Engineering Computer Graphics; Graphics Education; Geometry and Graphics in History, to which a new section of Related Topics was added in response to the growing body of research on Geometry and Graphics. Volume 2 contains papers on Applied Geometry and Graphics among these topics. Given its breadth of coverage, the book will introduce engineers, architects, and designers interested in computer applications, graphics, and geometry to the latest advances in the field, with a particular focus on science, the arts, and mathematics education.
Moon
"For centuries, poets, scientists, philosophers, and worshippers have pondered the moon under its serene light - and compiled in this volume is an enthralling collection of the verse, philosophy, psalms, and proverbs that the moon has inspired.
