The Ganga--along with the Nile, the Tigris and Euphrates, the Yangtze and the Danube--is one of the great rivers of our planet. Perceiving the Ganga from three levels--material, spiritual, and divine--this anthology reflects on the dialogue and tension between the modern and the traditional, the historic and the mythical, the epic and the everyday, the factual and the fictitious. From Robert P. Goldman's translations from the Ramayana, J.A.B. van Buitenen's translations from the Mahabharata, and translations by Shakuntala Varma and A.K. Ramanujan to Jawaharlal Nehru's 'Will and Testament', the classic Padma River Boatman by Manik Bandopadhyaya, and the screenplay of Ram Teri Ganga Maili to writings of Raja Rao, Vikram Seth, and Amitav Ghosh--the book brings together various perspectives on the river, demonstrating the wide-ranging views, interests, experiences, practices, and emotions generated from the encounter between people, both individuals and groups, and the Ganga. Divided into five parts--The Epic and Numinous, Historical Perspectives, Contemporary Travel Writing, Fiction, and Recent Scholarship--the anthology offers an insight into the broader organization, quality, character, and diversity of Indian culture and society.

Set against the taut yet passionate landscape of the dry heat of Mirage, Arizona, Summer of Rescue illuminates the stunning, often ambiguous emotions of a woman coming to terms with her life.
For Clare Nichols, wife and mother, the summer of her fortieth year is a time of reminiscences and regrets, a time to reconsider the past and to contemplate the possibilities of a new beginning. As Clare finds herself tempted by the romantic entreaties of a younger man, enviously watches her daughter become a woman, and confronts the memories of the tragic death of her son many years before, Nelson transforms the common events of life into a novel of uncommon grace and power.

The obsessions of two people whose lives are destined to come together find that through dedication of finding truths they are connected forever. A rebellious young man after growing up in a small fictitious town in Georgia dedicated his education and existence to focus on tracking the killer or killers of his father, a world renowned plastic surgeon. After becoming a vital member of the FBI his life is saved by a young woman whose mother had been a close associate of the murdered doctor. The two, in traveling abroad together were enabled to uncover secrets of decades and the mystery of who they are. Interruptions by vicious attempts of violence by Mafia organizations terrorize the quiet suburb of Macon and their neighbors. Seeking information leading to revenge for family members imprisoned by heinous crimes in the United States is the martyred goal of these criminals. The search leads to two former Mafia figures living in the witness protection program in exile in Central America. Operating a legitimate business, they have new facial identities and aliases. Interpol and the FBI, equipped with enough recently acquired information to indict and bring to justice one cell of international criminals threatening United States citizens, make a unified effort to intervene. The plan to abort an attempt of the Sicilian Mafia to execute the informants is put into place. The question is; who will get to them first? The story is fiction, although some functions of the FBI, Interpol and other agencies are briefly quoted in general. Limited violence is described without obscenity.
