1 in 15 men. 1 in 18 women. Every year in the UK 43,000 people are newly diagnosed with colorectal cancer. Dr Anisha Patel is one of them. Young, fit, and married to a consultant gastroenterologist and bowel cancer screening specialist, in 2018 she was diagnosed with Stage 3 colorectal cancer. Despite being a family doctor, Anisha had no idea what would come next. With the benefit of hindsight, and after first-hand experience, she understands now that the diagnosis is just the beginning, that treatment can be physically and mentally overwhelming, and that the hard work really starts when the treatment ends. Drawing on her own experience and her medical expertise, as well as that of specialists in the field, Anisha's book is an essential companion for anyone facing a cancer diagnosis. She outlines what to expect at each stage, from diagnosis, through treatment and into the 'new normal' that awaits, with practical advice and emotional guidance for every step of the way. Hers is not the only voice; here you will find a chorus of individuals who share their own lived experiences of colorectal cancer and its aftermath, in the hope that they, too, can navigate you through the eye of the cancer storm, to thrive in the life beyond. Powerful and personal, this is a life-saving book for a life-changing diagnosis, and a testament to human resilience and the enduring power of hope.

To replace 244 aged MiG-21 fighters of IAF, a case to procure 126 Mirage-2000 jets was initiated in 2000. After a 7-year delay, in August 2007, the UPA government invited bids for 126 jets. Six bidders submitted proposals. In January 2012, UPA government announced that Dassault’s Rafale had won. Dassault was to build 18 jets in France, with 108 to be produced by HAL in India. Negotiations remained incomplete 28 months after Rafale was chosen, due to disputes on costs and terms, explained in detail. When India renegotiated with Dassault, by January 2014, the deal cost would become ?1669 crores by when the first jets were to be delivered. In five different speeches or tweets, Rahul Gandhi quoted figures of ?520 crores, ?526 crores, ?540 crores, ?570 crores and ?700 crores per jet as the UPA’s negotiated price. Thus, there was no Rafale deal signed under UPA. For 10 years, UPA governments could not finalise a deal to buy crucial firepower for India’s national security. Less than two months after Modi became PM, negotiations were held between India and France. In April 2015, just 10½ months after coming to power, during a visit to France, Modi announced a “government-to-government deal” to acquire 36 Rafales in “fly-away condition”. The Agreement was signed in September 2016. Deliveries would begin in September 2019 and be completed by April 2022. The negotiated cost per Rafale jet was ?1623 crores. Thus, Modi got the Rafales cheaper than MMS. India got many other additional terms and benefits, explained in great detail. 14 months after the deal was signed, Gandhi started calling it a scam. In different tweets, he alleged a scam of ?58,000 crores (21 Feb. 2018), ?36,000 crores (16 Mar. 2018), ?40,000 crores (19 Mar. 2018) and ?130,000 crores (22 Sep. 2018). When the deal itself is for ?58,428 crores, how can the scam be ?58,000 or ?130,000 crores? In an Inter-Government deal with no middleman, how can bribes be paid? Who pays whom? To the best of my knowledge, this is the first book on the much-talked-about Rafale deal, and should put all controversies to rest once and for all.

A compendium of approximately three hundred texts--in Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic, Latin, Ethiopic, Syriac, Coptic, and other languages--that are important for the study of Jewish messianism and early Christology. In recent decades, the study of Jewish messianic ideas and how they influenced early Christology has become an incredibly active field within biblical studies. Numerous books and articles have engaged with the ancient sources to trace various themes, including "Messiah" language itself, exalted patriarchs, angel mediators, "wisdom" and "word," eschatology, and much more. But anyone who attempts to study the Jewish roots of early Christianity faces a challenge: the primary sources are wide-ranging, involve ancient languages, and are often very difficult to track down. Books are littered with citations and a host of other sometimes obscure writings, and it can be difficult to sort them all out. This book makes a much-needed contribution by bringing together the most important primary texts for the study of Jewish messianism and early Christology--nearly three hundred in total--and presenting the reader with essential information to study them: the critical text itself (with apparatus), a fresh translation, a current bibliography, and thematic tags that allow the reader to trace themes across the corpus. This volume aims to be the starting point for all future work on the primary sources that are relevant to messianology and Christology. About the Author Gregory R. Lanier (PhD, University of Cambridge) is Associate Professor of New Testament at Reformed Theological Seminary in Orlando, Florida. He has written extensively on early Christology and published Old Testament Conceptual Metaphors and the Christology of Luke's Gospel (Bloomsbury, 2018); Septuaginta: A Reader's Edition (Hendrickson, 2018); and Is Jesus Truly God? How the Bible Teaches the Divinity of Christ (Crossway, 2020). He also serves as associate pastor of River Oaks Church in Lake Mary, Florida.

When she was ten years old, Floella Benjamin, along with her older sister and two younger brothers, set sail from Trinidad to London, to be reunited with the rest of their family. Alone on a huge ship for two weeks, then tumbled into a cold and unfriendly London, coming to England wasn't at all what Floella had expected.

On the New York Times bestseller list for over 20 weeks * A New York Times Notable Book * A National Book Award Finalist * Named a Best Book of the Year by Fresh Air, Time, Entertainment Weekly, Associated Press, and many more “If you’re looking for a superb novel, look no further.” —The Washington Post From the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of All the Light We Cannot See, comes the instant New York Times bestseller that is a “wildly inventive, a humane and uplifting book for adults that’s infused with the magic of childhood reading experiences” (The New York Times Book Review). Among the most celebrated and beloved novels of recent times, Cloud Cuckoo Land is a triumph of imagination and compassion, a soaring story about children on the cusp of adulthood in worlds in peril, who find resilience, hope, and a book. In the 15th century, an orphan named Anna lives inside the formidable walls of Constantinople. She learns to read, and in this ancient city, famous for its libraries, she finds what might be the last copy of a centuries-old book, the story of Aethon, who longs to be turned into a bird so that he can fly to a utopian paradise in the sky. Outside the walls is Omeir, a village boy, conscripted with his beloved oxen into the army that will lay siege to the city. His path and Anna’s will cross. In the present day, in a library in Idaho, octogenarian Zeno rehearses children in a play adaptation of Aethon’s story, preserved against all odds through centuries. Tucked among the library shelves is a bomb, planted by a troubled, idealistic teenager, Seymour. This is another siege. And in a not-so-distant future, on the interstellar ship Argos, Konstance is alone in a vault, copying on scraps of sacking the story of Aethon, told to her by her father. Anna, Omeir, Seymour, Zeno, and Konstance are dreamers and outsiders whose lives are gloriously intertwined. Doerr’s dazzling imagination transports us to worlds so dramatic and immersive that we forget, for a time, our own.
