The Mahabharata is one of the two major Sanskrit epics of ancient India. It is of immense importance to the culture of the Indian subcontinent, and is a major text of Hinduism. Its discussion of human goals (artha or 'purpose', kama or 'pleasure', dharma or 'duty', and moksha or 'liberation') takes place in a long-standing tradition, attempting to explain the relationship of the individual to society and the world (the nature of the 'Self') and the workings of karma.

After surviving the massacre of an Aravaipa village, Apache leader, Mangas, swears vengeance on all white men.

It becomes the quest of one man, civilian scout, Jess Grainger, to try and put an end to his murderous raids. But it is a dangerous trail that could cost him his life.

Pergamon Texts in Inorganic Chemistry, Volume 2: The Chemistry of Arsenic, Antimony and Bismuth focuses on the physical and chemical properties of arsenic, antimony, and bismuth. This book discusses the alloys and intermetallic compounds; general aspects of the chemistry of arsenic; salts of antimony and bismuth; and organometallic compounds. The complexes of Arsenic(V), Antimony(V), and Bismuth(V), and mixed valency compounds and mechanisms of redox reactions are also elaborated. This text describes the chemical and physical properties of compounds, such as hydrides EH3, halides EX3, oxides E2O3, halides EX5, sulfides E2S5, oxides E2O5, and related oxyacids. This publication is intended for chemical engineering students and chemists researching on the characteristics of arsenic, antimony, and bismuth.

Vibration Measurement and Analysis presents the different approaches of vibration measurement and analysis techniques. The book begins with a discussion of the reasons for conducting vibration measurements. Subsequent chapters cover topics on general measurement requirements, transducers and the measurement of sound, and signal conditioning and recording. Analysis methods and frequency analysis, techniques of correlation and averaging, and automation of vibration testing are discussed as well. Mechanical engineers will find the book very useful.

The Chemistry of Arsenic, Antimony and Bismuth is a 16-part book that discusses the composition, structure, and properties of arsenic, antimony, and bismuth. The book is the 21st chapter of the second volume of a series. The first part in this book describes the elements featured, and then discusses the importance of their alloys and compounds. The general aspects of the chemistry of these elements are then presented; this discussion is followed by topics on oxides, halides, hydrides, sulfides, selenides, and tellurides. This text also explains the salts of antimony and bismuth and the complexes of the featured elements, as well as the organometallic compounds. This book will be invaluable to chemistry students and practitioners, especially those interested in the elements featured in this release.

Beneath the Olive Tree is a quiet, lyrical novella that explores the profound echoes of love, loss, and the kind of presence that changes a life without demanding one.When a woman returns to a small town in search of silence, she finds more than stillness beneath an old olive tree-she uncovers the memory of a man who once loved without condition, whose life was marked not by grand gestures but by quiet, sacrificial faithfulness. Through a forgotten journal, buried seeds, and unexpected visitors, she begins to unravel the legacy of someone who never asked for anything but gave everything.Told through poetic prose and intimate reflection, this meditative story invites readers into the sacred beauty of unseen lives and unspoken love. It is a story of redemption that unfolds not in dramatic climax, but in the soft rhythms of gardening, prayer, and remembrance.Perfect for fans of deeply spiritual fiction and emotionally resonant narratives, Beneath the Olive Tree offers a moving reminder that what remains-often hidden from the world-is what's most eternal.
