New. Professor Nirbhai Singh (b.1935) specialized in Philosophy of Religion and comparative scriptural religious traditions. He retired as Professor & Head, Department of Philosophy, Punjabi University, Patiala. He enjoys reputation as an original thinker of Philosophy of Comparative Religion and has sound understanding of the Western modern, medieval and ancient philosophies of the East and the West. His works are radical departures from the existing exegetical explanations of Indian philosophies. He has to his credit more than ten original philosophical research works of high standard. His innovative books are Bhagata Namadeva in The Guru Granth, Philosophy of Sikhism, Sikh Dynamic Vision, The Sikh Vision of Heroic Life and Death, The Philosophical Perspective on Sikh View of Martyrdom, et al. The HRD Minister, New Delhi, twice nominated him as member of the apex Indian Council of Philosophical Research (ICPR). He had been Senior Fellow at the Indian Institute of Advanced Study (IIAS), Shimla and Senior Fellow of the Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR), New Delhi.

He was editor of the prestigious journals: The Journal of Religious Studies, Punjabi University, Patiala, and The Humanities and Sciences, Shimla. He also presented research papers in the National and International Seminars/Conferences in different universities of India About The Author:- Philosophical Contributions of Bhaktas and Gurus to Indian Culture, is the first philosophical interpretation of the medieval religious celebrities from sixth to first decade of 18th century. They revived Indian culture that was almost defeated by the Muslim invaders. Many works on medieval devotional literature are available, but none has given in-depth philosophical analysis of the undercurrent philosophical concepts, which are ensconced in religious language. Their interpretations are explanatory and literary that don't mirror the hidden meanings (ciphers) of the realized selves who expressed their illuminations either orally or in written forms. The author with his maturity of philosophical understanding successfully cleansed the shoddy concepts in modern philosophical idioms with clarity of expression. The work in hand is the fruit of the author's creative and original reflections. He dives deep into original sources of the scriptures and brings up pristine meanings prevalent in those days. Nonetheless, the author carried forward the pristine meanings and wraps them in modern philosophical terminology. This is the merit of the book, which will arrest attention of the readers who are interested in understanding Indian culture in clear philosophical terms. The book will cleanse dross of misunderstandings of the Indian culture, which has been distorted by the alien scholars and the exegetes. This is a philosophical attempt that churns out the religious concepts, which are locked up in sacred scriptures. It resuscitates the illuminations of the Bhaktas and the Gurus. The ecstasies of the contributors are reinterpreted within the contemporary context. The paradigm of the interpretations is fashioned in the Indian cultural paradigm. It reconciles eternity and temporality, and restores historicity of human action and societal realities, which were lost in the medieval ages.

Wilkes Honors College of Florida Atlantic University. He received his BA and MA in communications from Florida Atlantic University.

From School Library Journal: Grade 7 Up-- Once again the Fabers have put to excellent use their well-honed skills as researchers/writers to create a solidly researched, interest-holding companion to their We the People: The Story of the United States Constitution Since 1787 (Scribners, 1987). Here they briskly survey the story of the United States' crucial early years from George Washington's election to his farewell address and John Adams' election as the nation's second president. Making liberal, but judicious, use of appropriate quotations from primary sources, the Fabers inform readers as to what the U.S. was like in 1788, present a profile of George Washington, and discuss such topics as the debate over what Washington's title should be, creation of executive branch departments, adoption of the Bill of Rights, political parties, and crises such as the Jay Treaty, the Whiskey Rebellion, and Barbary pirates. Social and cultural history is not neglected--the Fabers include coverage of social life in the Washington administration. Also of great interest is the authors' inclusion of """"three forgotten Americans"""": Oliver Ellsworth, John Jay, and Edmund Randolph. Throughout, emphasis is placed upon how Washington, and others, """"had breathed life into the words of the Constitution"""" and had showed """"how individuals of integrity and good will can achieve great aims."""" Reproductions of contemporary art illustrate the text. --David A. Lindsey, Lakewood Junior/Senior High School, Wash.

In this history of radical publishing at the turn of the century, Elliott Shore focuses on the 'Appeal to Reason,' the flagship newspaper of J. A. Wayland's publishing empire. As modern periodical publishing came of age with the appearance of the first mass-circulation newspapers and magazines, so too did both populism and socialism in the United States. They drew strength from the same factors-the advance of technology, spreading industrialization, the growth and concentration of urban populations, and rising literacy rates. In the 'Appeal to Reason' the two powerful and important forces journalism and radicalism came together. <BR>Between 1900 and 1910 the circulation of the 'Appeal to Reason' grew to more than half a million, placing it among the nation's leading weeklies. Its editors and writers included such prominent figures of the socialist movement as Eugene Debs and Upton Sinclair. Published for twenty-five years in Girard, Kansas, it was the most successful socialist institution in this country, unifying the movement from coast to coast. <BR>The 'Appeal' belongs equally to the history of radicalism and to the history of journalism. Shore examines it from both perspectives. He presents the inner workings of the socialist press and by focusing on Wayland, explores the possibilities of peaceful but fundamental change at the time when America became a mass consumer culture. <BR>'In what might be considered a companion piece to Nick Salvatore's Eugene V. Debs, Shore has written a skillfully researched, penetratingly interpretive, and handsomely illustrated biography of Wayland that analyzes the role of the socialist press during an important period in the history of American radicalism.' 'Journal of American History.' <BR>'Shore has provided a wealth of new insights and a plethora of detail in chronicling not merely the rise and fall of the Appeal to Reason but also the dramatic life of its founder and guiding light. . . . An expert in the history of the alternative press, Shore displays considerable perception in handling this intriguing subject. . . . He has written a fine, worthwhile book that may help readers formulate an answer to the question, 'Why is there no socialism in America?'' 'American Historical Review.' <BR>'Was it ultimately a good strategy to try to sell socialism through the techniques of modern capitalist advertising and promotion? What happened when socialism was brought into the new popular culture of consumption and mass media? Shore explores these fascinating questions in his thoughtful, well-written book.' 'Indiana Magazine of History.' <BR>'In examining the only mass circulation socialist newspaper in America, Shore illuminates the indigenous political and cultural roots of the socialist movement and aids us in understanding central aspects of the American political tradition.' Nick Salvatore, author of 'Eugene V. Debs: Citizen and Socialist.' <BR>'A sensitive, moving book. Shore's study is a vital chapter in the history of American literature and journalism as well as American radicalism-with peculiar relevance to our own times.' Sean Wilentz, author of 'Chants Democratic: New York City and the Rise of the American Working Class, 1788-1850.' <BR>'Concern with the language of politics and the meaning of cultural messages characterizes this fascinating book.' 'Dissent.' <BR>'A considerable contribution, long overdue.' 'Journalism History.'' Shore focuses on the 'Appeal to Reason,' the flagship newspaper of J.A. Wayland's publishing empire. The 'Appeal' belongs equally to the history of radicalism and to the history of journalism. Shore examines it from both perspectives.

New. Professor Nirbhai Singh (b.1935) specialized in Philosophy of Religion and comparative scriptural religious traditions. He retired as Professor & Head, Department of Philosophy, Punjabi University, Patiala. He enjoys reputation as an original thinker of Philosophy of Comparative Religion and has sound understanding of the Western modern, medieval and ancient philosophies of the East and the West. His works are radical departures from the existing exegetical explanations of Indian philosophies. He has to his credit more than ten original philosophical research works of high standard. His innovative books are Bhagata Namadeva in The Guru Granth, Philosophy of Sikhism, Sikh Dynamic Vision, The Sikh Vision of Heroic Life and Death, The Philosophical Perspective on Sikh View of Martyrdom, et al. The HRD Minister, New Delhi, twice nominated him as member of the apex Indian Council of Philosophical Research (ICPR). He had been Senior Fellow at the Indian Institute of Advanced Study (IIAS), Shimla and Senior Fellow of the Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR), New Delhi. Besides, he has contributed more than fifty research papers to the leading research journals and periodicals. He was editor of the prestigious journals: The Journal of Religious Studies, Punjabi University, Patiala, and The Humanities and Sciences, Shimla. He also presented research papers in the National and International Seminars/Conferences in different universities of India About The Author:- Philosophical Contributions of Bhaktas and Gurus to Indian Culture, is the first philosophical interpretation of the medieval religious celebrities from sixth to first decade of 18th century. They revived Indian culture that was almost defeated by the Muslim invaders. Many works on medieval devotional literature are available, but none has given in-depth philosophical analysis of the undercurrent philosophical concepts, which are ensconced in religious language. Their interpretations are explanatory and literary that don't mirror the hidden meanings (ciphers) of the realized selves who expressed their illuminations either orally or in written forms. The author with his maturity of philosophical understanding successfully cleansed the shoddy concepts in modern philosophical idioms with clarity of expression. The work in hand is the fruit of the author's creative and original reflections. He dives deep into original sources of the scriptures and brings up pristine meanings prevalent in those days. Nonetheless, the author carried forward the pristine meanings and wraps them in modern philosophical terminology. This is the merit of the book, which will arrest attention of the readers who are interested in understanding Indian culture in clear philosophical terms. The book will cleanse dross of misunderstandings of the Indian culture, which has been distorted by the alien scholars and the exegetes. This is a philosophical attempt that churns out the religious concepts, which are locked up in sacred scriptures. It resuscitates the illuminations of the Bhaktas and the Gurus. The ecstasies of the contributors are reinterpreted within the contemporary context. The paradigm of the interpretations is fashioned in the Indian cultural paradigm. It reconciles eternity and temporality, and restores historicity of human action and societal realities, which were lost in the medieval ages.

ABOUT THE BOOK:- This book is a study of the role of local television stations in Kargil (India), which investigates whether the success of local media in Kargil is a result of fulfilling the needs and desires of the local community, using the methods of content analysis, interviews, and surveys. Kargili local television stations have adopted global media technologies for disseminating their programs, but at the same time have changed some of the television conventions to meet the needs and expectations of local viewers. The forces of globalization have not only exposed places like Kargil to new technologies, but have also given them an opportunity to participate in new discourses, to create a local media that is being used to address the specific concerns and problems of the local community ABOUT THE AUTHOR:- Abdul Nasir Khan is an Affiliate Research Scholar at the Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College of Florida Atlantic University. He received his BA and MA in communications from Florida Atlantic University.

From School Library Journal: Grade 7 Up-- Once again the Fabers have put to excellent use their well-honed skills as researchers/writers to create a solidly researched, interest-holding companion to their We the People: The Story of the United States Constitution Since 1787 (Scribners, 1987). Here they briskly survey the story of the United States' crucial early years from George Washington's election to his farewell address and John Adams' election as the nation's second president. Making liberal, but judicious, use of appropriate quotations from primary sources, the Fabers inform readers as to what the U.S. was like in 1788, present a profile of George Washington, and discuss such topics as the debate over what Washington's title should be, creation of executive branch departments, adoption of the Bill of Rights, political parties, and crises such as the Jay Treaty, the Whiskey Rebellion, and Barbary pirates. Social and cultural history is not neglected--the Fabers include coverage of social life in the Washington administration. Also of great interest is the authors' inclusion of """"three forgotten Americans"""": Oliver Ellsworth, John Jay, and Edmund Randolph. Throughout, emphasis is placed upon how Washington, and others, """"had breathed life into the words of the Constitution"""" and had showed """"how individuals of integrity and good will can achieve great aims."""" Reproductions of contemporary art illustrate the text. --David A. Lindsey, Lakewood Junior/Senior High School, Wash.

In this history of radical publishing at the turn of the century, Elliott Shore focuses on the 'Appeal to Reason,' the flagship newspaper of J. A. Wayland's publishing empire. As modern periodical publishing came of age with the appearance of the first mass-circulation newspapers and magazines, so too did both populism and socialism in the United States. They drew strength from the same factors-the advance of technology, spreading industrialization, the growth and concentration of urban populations, and rising literacy rates. In the 'Appeal to Reason' the two powerful and important forces journalism and radicalism came together. <BR>Between 1900 and 1910 the circulation of the 'Appeal to Reason' grew to more than half a million, placing it among the nation's leading weeklies. Its editors and writers included such prominent figures of the socialist movement as Eugene Debs and Upton Sinclair. Published for twenty-five years in Girard, Kansas, it was the most successful socialist institution in this country, unifying the movement from coast to coast. <BR>The 'Appeal' belongs equally to the history of radicalism and to the history of journalism. Shore examines it from both perspectives. He presents the inner workings of the socialist press and by focusing on Wayland, explores the possibilities of peaceful but fundamental change at the time when America became a mass consumer culture. <BR>'In what might be considered a companion piece to Nick Salvatore's Eugene V. Debs, Shore has written a skillfully researched, penetratingly interpretive, and handsomely illustrated biography of Wayland that analyzes the role of the socialist press during an important period in the history of American radicalism.' 'Journal of American History.' <BR>'Shore has provided a wealth of new insights and a plethora of detail in chronicling not merely the rise and fall of the Appeal to Reason but also the dramatic life of its founder and guiding light. . . . An expert in the history of the alternative press, Shore displays considerable perception in handling this intriguing subject. . . . He has written a fine, worthwhile book that may help readers formulate an answer to the question, 'Why is there no socialism in America?'' 'American Historical Review.' <BR>'Was it ultimately a good strategy to try to sell socialism through the techniques of modern capitalist advertising and promotion? What happened when socialism was brought into the new popular culture of consumption and mass media? Shore explores these fascinating questions in his thoughtful, well-written book.' 'Indiana Magazine of History.' <BR>'In examining the only mass circulation socialist newspaper in America, Shore illuminates the indigenous political and cultural roots of the socialist movement and aids us in understanding central aspects of the American political tradition.' Nick Salvatore, author of 'Eugene V. Debs: Citizen and Socialist.' <BR>'A sensitive, moving book. Shore's study is a vital chapter in the history of American literature and journalism as well as American radicalism-with peculiar relevance to our own times.'
