One of the most powerful rulers in the history of humanity, Ashoka continues to be relevant for the political dilemmas of our age. He converted to Buddhism on the heels of a bloody war, and expanded his vast empire based on a system that originally prioritized material wealth and realpolitik. To hold together his diverse, prosperous realm, his edicts promoted religious tolerance, conservation, non-violence, species protection and human rights.
In this illuminating book, Bruce Rich offers a compelling critique of the forces of globalization that, while connecting the world in unprecedented ways, have deprived us of a unifying dharma. Rich looks for answers to contemporary issues in the paradoxes of Ashoka’s empire, as well as in the ideas of thinkers from across the ages-from Aristotle and Adam Smith to George Soros. Reflecting on the timeless questions of morality, duty and the conflicting demands of statecraft, he urgently calls for a new global ethic, to restore concord and justice for a fractured world.

Hindu mythology is full of tales in which animals play important roles. Some animals are looked upon with dread, while some are worshipped along with the gods. Some shape the fate of the world, others form everlasting bonds with humans.
Where did the animals come from? From Vishnu’s avatars or Shiva’s asanas? How was a deer responsible for the events of the Ramayana? Why is Garuda the sworn enemy of the nagas? How did a mongoose teach Yudhishtira the true meaning of sacrifice?
Devdutt Pattanaik answers all these questions and more in this exquisitely illustrated book, retelling numerous animal stories from ancient texts, with his trademark charm and wit.

A priceless collection of letters from one legendary leader to another
When Indira Gandhi was a little girl of ten, she spent the summer in Mussoorie, while her father, Jawaharlal Nehru, was in Allahabad. Over the summer, Nehru wrote her a series of letters in which he told her the story of how and when the earth was made, how human and animal life began, and how civilizations and societies
evolved all over the world.
Written in 1928, these letters remain fresh and vibrant, and capture Nehru’s love for people and for nature, whose story was for him ‘more interesting than any other story or novel that you may have read’.
