Half a century ago, Gwalior Rayons and the river Chaaliyar were in the news every day. An environmental struggle that spread all over Kerala. A great environmental war waged by politicians, industrialists and literary society activists from both coasts. After four decades, chaaliyar Suddhikarana Yanam is sharing her memories of that day. The author who tried to tackle the problem reveals the inner currents in full depth.

PFAS are class of chemicals in products like food packaging and carpets to repel water, grease, stains; in firefighting foam used on military bases and commercial airports; in personal care products like waterproof mascara, eyeliners, sunscreen, shampoo, shaving creams. 97% of US population has PFAS in their bodies. In June 2023 Corporations 3M, DuPont, Chemours, and Corteva settled to pay $11.5 billion for cleanup expenses associated with PFAS. Scientists of these Corporations knew of the health and environmental hazards since 1970, kept this knowledge hidden, and made huge profits from manufacture and sale for a half century. Ultimate clean up cost in US projected to be $62 billion. PFAS are only an example of Endocrine Disruptor Chemicals used worldwide. Other major EDCs are many pesticides. This book will illustrate how industries have proliferated use of these chemicals, while knowingly hiding their hazards, and will definitely make the connection of the exponential growth of the world's LGBTQ population with exposure to pesticides over the past four generations.

"Ce livre reprend les grandes lignes de ce qu'ont été, depuis 2015, l'évolution et l'impact de la télévision numérique dans son déploiement et sa progression à travers la République Démocratique du Congo (RDC), principalement dans les grandes villes. Par-delà le marché de l'implantation des réseaux, de l'infrastructure et d'autres matériels techniques et malgré les guerres entre les différents acteurs industriels de cette télévision, le vrai problème, pour l'auteur, est la production, la gestion et l'exploitation des contenus à travers les différentes technologies disponibles. Aussi plaide-t-il pour les startups, pour une coordination multipartenaire des efforts et pour l'émergence des nationaux dans le développement des outils, des produits et des contenus, pour l'exploitation intelligente et la rentabilisation effective de la télévision numérique." Ir Jean-Jacques OTSHUDIEMA Coordonnateur du Comité National de la Migration vers la Télévision Numérique Terrestre (CNM/TNT-RDC).

"Αυτό το βιβλίο αποτελεί μια συνύπαρξη δραματικών, εμπνευσμένων και κοινωνικών θεμάτων. Η πλοκή ακολουθεί το ταξίδι ζωής ενός χαρακτήρα που αντιμετωπίζει προσωπικές προκλήσεις, επιτυγχάνει σημαντικές επιτυχίες και αναδύεται ως υποστηρικτής της αλλαγής και του κοινωνικού αντικτύπου. Η ιστορία ενσωματώνει στοιχεία ατομικής εξέλιξης, ανθεκτικότητας, θριάμβου και θετικής επίδρασης στον κόσμο, που συχνά συναντώνται σε λογοτεχνικά έργα με πνεύμα έμπνευσης και δράματος. Επιπλέον, η έμφαση στην αντιμετώπιση κοινωνικών ζητημάτων, όπως η οικογενειακή βία και η υπεράσπιση, εμπλουτίζει την αφήγηση με βάθος και περιεχόμενο."

I MAESTRI CI PARLANO di Patrizia Raspa Sottotitolo: L'Akasha e il Divino Proprio tu, che in questo momento stai ricevendo queste parole: tu meriti il meglio e niente di meno del meglio.Quindi vattelo a prendere e, poi, donalo al mondo. Lavora per essere consapevole di ciò che vali e di ciò che sei, che è l'immenso, e, poi, donalo al mondo.Il mondo ne trarrà un beneficio immenso. La collana dei "Maestri ci parlano" è una raccolta di canalizzazioni effettuatenell'arco di 2 anni, suddivise in diversi libri.Abbiamo scelto di impostare quest'opera in un modo molto particolare: per poternegodere appieno, infatti, è necessario lasciarsi guidare dall'istinto, sia quando sisceglie il libro da leggere, sia quando si legge il libro stesso.Ogni libro è un'unità a se stante, ogni lettura è un'unità a se stante.Il fatto che siano in ordine cronologico è un fatto ovvio, le letture sono statecompiute nell'arco di 2 anni e oltre, quindi è normale che ci siano delle date(inserite nell'indice, per i curiosi), ma questo non è importante.Ecco perché i libri non sono stati numerati, perché non è necessario.Questo vale anche per la lettura dei messaggi: il lettore può scegliere di leggere ilibri "dall'inizio alla fine", se così preferisce, ma il modo migliore di godere diquest'opera è questo: fare un profondo respiro, aprire una pagina a caso e leggereil messaggio. Scoprirà che quelle sono le parole giuste da ricevere in quel momento.Provare per credere!

SPIRITO E CORPI di Luciano GattornoSilloge poetica Spirito e Corpi è una raccolta di poesie che esplora una gran varietà di temi, spesso molto diversi tra loro: >Luciano Gattorno, l'autore, è un appassionato ricercatore delle filosofie buddhiste e delle pratiche meditative a esse associate. I versi in "Spirito e Corpi" sembrano intrecciarsi con riflessioni sulla vita, sulla morte, sull'amore e sulla spiritualità.>L'amore e gli amori giovanili rappresentano, invece, l'esperienza umana nella sua forma più intensa e carnale, al contrario, l'approfondimento delle filosofie buddhiste (apprezzabile da alcuni costanti richiami nei versi) suggerisce un desiderio di connessione spirituale e di ricerca interiore.

THOUGHTS ON POETRY: I did not write a poem until I was 75 when one just poppsd into my head. It is in this volume entitled-FAIRY TALE DAUGHTER. Soon after came another poem from this collection-FISHING. Poems began coming to me like birds landing in a tree, I found some fellow travellers who have given me excellent input on every poem I have ever published. Now poetry has become a true delight in my retired life and I am so glad to share it with others and read aloud at special community events. I hope this second round of my warbling will also be pleasing to you. I have no muse. My Muse is the world of poetry itself. "For every poet, it is always morning in the world; history, a forgotten insomniac nightmare. The fate of poetry is to fall in love with the world, in spite of History." Derek Walcott

Many artists often decry their early work. They may either try to destroy it or spend valuable time agonizing over it. I'm among the latter and have been thinking about a revised edition of It's Mother's Day for many years. When Cyberwit Press offered to publish the work I was extremely pleased. In 1996, at that particular juncture in my life, the publication of the first edition represented an expansion in my tone, vision and voice. I had recently left San Francisco, my home for 20years, and was caring for my mother in her waning years. The 'writer's block' - Read: personal upheaval that had inhibited my commitment to writing for many years seemed to have passed. In its place was born a determination to begin again.

Un gordito enamorado poco valorado, de Jonathan Hernández, surge de una emoción intensa, provocada por una ruptura amorosa; una de esas que emana de un corazón destruido, de un producto del fracaso total. El escritor muestra los estragos que los excesos, por la ausencia de ese ser a quien amó, por poco lo llevan a autodestruirse. Así lo cuenta este poeta, artista, bohemio y loco, como él mismo se denomina.>Jonathan Hernández OsorioNacido en un rinconcito del estado de Oaxaca, conocido como Paris Chiquito. Es allí donde se encuentra Tlaxiaco, una hermosa ciudad rodeada por muchos árboles y montañas. Es un lugar frío donde se dibujan bellos paisajes y donde el café y la deliciosa comida se disfruta acompañado o en soledad. Hernández nació en un hogar de clase trabajadora y es el segundo de tres hermanos, pero el primer varón de este matrimonio.

El amor, el paso del tiempo y la memoria se conjugan en esta obra. Fragmentaria, como el pensamiento, Ela escribe cartas que no fueron enviadas, algunas jamás han sido leídas. Reflexiones profundas sobre la vida, las decisiones y la construcción de la autoimagen.Ella, a quien le ha tocado perder desde niña, cuenta sus primeras ilusiones, sus desencuentros con la sociedad, con el amor. También dibuja, a través de sus palabras, las diferentes etapas por las que atraviesa una niña y una adolescente hasta llegar a su juventud.Entre un relato biográfico, el de Ela, y los pensamientos de la narradora, Las cartas secretas de Ela: los momentos del amor constituyen una meditación aguda sobre el hecho de estar enamorados, la concepción del destino y la búsqueda de la felicidad.

Esta, mi primera obra, tiene como esencia aquellas cartas que escribí y nunca envié.

'Oh my, what a wonderfully sublime book; my heart soared.' 'Rarely has a book held my heart in it's hands the way If You Love Me I'm Yours has. An incredibly uplifting romantic story that has had me laughing and crying over and over again.''This is not a roller coaster ride so much as a ghost train of soul searching and I defy anyone not to feel a part of it, the central characters, to recognise something of themselves.''If you love me, I'm yours...' Maud didn't mind being boring, not really. She had a sensible job, clothes, and love life... if you counted an overbearing ex who had thanked her, rolled over and was snoring before she even realised he'd begun! She could tolerate not fulfilling her dreams, if her parents would pay her one compliment about the only thing she was passionate about in life: her art. Dot should have fit in with her flamboyant and slightly eccentric family of talented artists, but somehow, she was an anomaly who couldn't paint. She tried hard to be part of their world by becoming an art agent extraordinaire, but she dreamed of finding her own voice. Dot's brother Nate, a smoulderingly sexy and famous artist, was adored by everyone. His creative talent left them in awe of his ability to capture such passion on canvas. Women worshipped him, and even Dot's friend Maud flushed and bumped into things when he walked into a room, but a tragic event in his past had left him emotionally and physically scarred, and reluctant to face the world again. Someone was leaving exquisite little paintings on park benches, with a tag saying, 'If you love me, I'm yours'. The art was so fresh and cutting-edge, that it generated a media frenzy and a scramble to discover where the mystery artist could be hiding. The revelation of who the prodigious artist was interlinked Maud, Dot and Nate's lives forever, but their worlds came crashing down. Were bonds of friendship, love and loyalty strong enough to withstand fame, success and scandal?

There is nothing like the unconditional love of a dog. I was so inspired to write this book because of my son's relationship with his dog. Everyday, his dog was just so happy to see him. Whenever Alan came home, he would just be running everywhere like crazy. As soon as my son's grandmother would pick Alan up from school, the dog would be in the car and the dog would just be running back and forth in the car excited to see my son. Seeing that amount of love between a boy and his dog is priceless. Enjoy Alan the Play Kid Gets a Dog. To connect with Lissa Lee, email her at: lissalee2222@gmail.com.
