Nearly 2,500 years ago, there was a slave in Greece, named Aesop. When he saw the activities being inflicted on people under the slavery system, his heart started crying bitterly. His experiences got transformed into unique stories. Aesop used to move from one region to another to tell those stories to children. Wherever he went, children used to surround him, who was their Aesop Baba, the man with stories. They used to request him to tell a story. In a little time, these stories reached the entire world. The renowned author, Prakash Manu has presented these Aesop's tales in such a beautiful manner that they will definitely entertain and instruct our young readers.
Recent military interventions in Rwanda, Somalia, the former Yugoslavia, Afghanistan and Iraq, amongst others, have placed conflict again at the forefront of international debate. Yet the theoretical analysis of conflicts and of their social and psychological impacts has predictably lagged behind such tumultuous events. Moreover, while scholarship in the areas of strategic studies, international relations and peace studies has addressed the issues in terms of "conflict resolution" and "post-conflict reconstruction", little or no attention has been given to crucial interrelations between conflict and culture. Bringing together international experts from disciplines as diverse as Political Science, History, International Law, Media Studies, Visual Culture, Critical Theory and Semiotics, Post-Conflict Cultures: Rituals of Representation therefore employs an avowedly interdisciplinary approach in order to address what the editors perceive to be a significant omission. In five themed sections, this ambitious volume tackles many questions often excluded from discourses on conflict. How does a past conflict inform a community's vision for its future? How are conflicts represented in the media, in literature, in journalism, in all forms of cultural expression? How do representations of conflict compound but also confuse, and even reconfigure, cultural identities? What role do histories of conflicts play in the construction of national identities? Post-Conflict Cultures: Rituals of Representation will be of direct interest to scholars and practitioners working in media and communications, international relations and international law, peace studies, human rights, cultural studies and cultural memory, psychoanalysis and gender studies, and comparative literature and literary theory.

Growing up in a Christian church, the most prevalent consistent teaching about dating and sex is that it is a sin to have sex outside of marriage. Where does this come from? Is it actually in the Bible? While few actually live this, most are taught that both males and females are supposed to remain virgins until marriage. After decades of living with this guideline as it was taught to him, the author undertook an exhaustive Bible study to look for more concrete answers than he could find in church services and small groups. Digging past the surface statements and catch phrases uttered by pastors and Bible study leaders, the author has uncovered a shocking discovery that may change everything you think you know about this fundamental teaching.
