'The need for this book on South Asian Christians in the diaspora is long overdue. This is a very valuable source of information for anyone who wishes to draw some general conclusions about Indian Christians in the diaspora.'  Paul Younger, McMaster University, Canada  The editors have produced a landmark study on a neglected but important subject. A new trend has been set on the basis of  impressive scholarship that will create deeper understanding of social, religious and cultural diasporic identity. Julius Lipner, University of Cambridge, UK  ’Jacobsen and Raj’s volume is certainly a timely and very welcome contribution to the increasingly diversified scene of contemporary diasporic studies. The book abounds with well researched and thoroughly reflected insights into the diversity of South Asian Christian ways of life in the Western diaspora.’ South Asian Diaspora  ’Overall, if the goal of this volume is to make visible an ’invisible’ diaspora, it has decidedly met its goal. Chapters can be combined in a number of ways to highlight a series of issues within South Asian Christian diaspora dynamics. The volume is suitable for upper-level undergraduate courses or for graduate courses on South Asian diaspora and South Asian Christian diaspora.’ Journal of Intercultural Studies  'This exceptionally insightful compendium of essays sheds light on the heterogeneity of the South Asian Christian Diaspora, emphasising the significance of religion in their immigrant experience, which has remained invisible. ... The volume is a significant contribution to the field of South Asian Studies, Christianity, Hindu-Christian Studies, as well as Contemporary South Asian Religions. ... this study draws attention to an understudied area in South Asian Diaspora studies and reinforces the centrality of religion and the importance of further research into diverse diasporic experiences.'

Writing Active Hooks Book 2: Evocative Description, Character, Dialogue, Foreshadowing and Where to Use Hooks

&ldquo;This book is essential reading for anybody with an interest in the history of spaceflight. It is a mine of information, much of it only recently declassified, on a wide range of projects. Some of the more expensive or more technologically challenging of these never made it beyond the imagination of their advocates, but their stories are no less fascinating. One of the most daring projects (chapter 3) was Wernher von Braun&rsquo;s 1952 blueprint for a fleet of spacecraft to visit Mars. Although visionary at the time, it is now clear that we had neither the detailed knowledge of Mars nor the financial resources needed to turn his ideas into reality. My personal favorite was chapter 11, which gave the inside story of the historic lunar landing on July 20, 1969, and of all the things that nearly went wrong&mdash;but fortunately didn&rsquo;t. All in all, a thoroughly good read.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;David K. Love, fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society and author of&#160;Kepler and the Universe&ldquo;Whether you are a die-hard space fanatic or a casual reader, you&rsquo;ll find this book is full of fascinating space stories you never knew existed. Rod Pyle is our space supersleuth!&rdquo; &#160; &mdash;Andrew Chaikin, author of A Man on the Moon&ldquo;I&rsquo;m a huge fan of amazing stories, and these stories are so compelling I could not put the book down until I finished reading every one. And what&rsquo;s most mind-boggling is that all these stories are true!&rdquo; &mdash;Peter Z. Orton, story editor, Steven Spielberg&rsquo;s Amazing Stories NBC series&ldquo;Drawing upon little-known Cold War mission plans, and underreported records of actual mission emergencies, historian Rod Pyle has managed to convey the essence of the intensity and drama of those space-age years from well before Sputnik to the shuttle program. Delivering densely packed facts in an entertaining and often amusing style is what Pyle does best. Long after you&rsquo;ve finished the book, you&rsquo;ll remember how much fun you had reading it.&rdquo; &#160; &mdash;Susan Holden Martin, the Mars Society, Inc.&ldquo;So often our ongoing march into the future trumps remembering and savoring the past. Rod Pyle has made deep dives into space history, amassing well-crafted, storytelling chapters about people, projects, and dustbin endeavors, some recently declassified, that are germane to today&rsquo;s space initiatives. Be it detailing US Air Force attempts to salute the militarization of Earth orbit and the moon, novel atomic-powered starships, wheeled space stations, to faulty decision making that led to the deaths of human space travelers and robots, Pyle&rsquo;s ability to capture forget-me-not facts is truly amazing. This is a must-read for today&rsquo;s space fan, while looking at the rearview mirror of times past.&rdquo; &#160; &mdash;Leonard David, Space.com&rsquo;s Space Insider columnist"A compelling collection of quixotic concepts and harrowing exploits that unfolded during humankind&rsquo;s first staggering steps into the space age. Somehow, we got there, but not without more than a few misguided notions, narrow escapes, and tragedies. Rod Pyle&rsquo;s account not only serves as a sobering reminder that politics, paranoia, and public relations have no place in any scientific endeavor, but it also demonstrates how far dreams, grounded in reality, can take us.&rdquo; &#160; &mdash;Jeff Kanipe, author of The Cosmic Connection: How Astronomical Events Impact Life on Earth&ldquo;Accomplished space author Rod Pyle digs through the yellowed archives of space history to bring us the alternate reality of space projects that might have been&mdash;a proposed Nazi space bomber, a planned trip to Mars and Venus on the &lsquo;Nuclear Crocco&rsquo; spaceship, the sausage gun for battles on the moon, and more. He also peers between the headlines for true stories such as Neil Armstrong&rsquo;s brush with death on Gemini 8, the signal from Apollo 11&rsquo;s Eagle lander indicating that it might explode, and the ghastly death of a Soviet cosmonaut who suspected it was coming. This book will equip you for years&rsquo; worth of conversations over your favorite beverage.&rdquo; &#160; &mdash;Steve Fentress, director, Strasenburgh Planetarium, Rochester Museum & Science Center&ldquo;I highly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in space exploration. Pyle&rsquo;s account of the evolution of the modern space program reminded me of events I&rsquo;d forgotten, filled in details of events I thought I knew about, and revealed fascinating projects I&rsquo;d never heard of. His ability to keep mind-boggling facts and fanciful yet true proposals in perspective makes this an engaging book that is gripping, yet easy to read. A wonderful addition to my reference library!&rdquo; &#160; &mdash;Melanie Melton Knocke, director of CPS Planetarium, ambassador of the NASA Airborne Astronomy, and author&ldquo;When the space travel of science fiction became a reality, many outlandish, risky, and sometimes foolhardy ideas seized the imaginations of individuals and world superpowers.&#160;Most of the&#160;wilder ideas never&#160;progressed further than paper studies.&#160;Some of the most impossible-sounding dreams, however, happened. Rod Pyle skillfully guides us through both major moments and forgotten corners of spaceflight triumphs and tragedies with a sense of entertaining drama, and&#160;reminds us that&#160;the &lsquo;impossible&rsquo; can be anything but.&rdquo; &#160; &mdash;Francis French, author of In the Shadow of the Moon

"With care and precision, Baker shows how by the mid-20th&#160;century, African American intellectuals and leaders selectively appropriated anthropology&shy;&mdash;specifically, the work of Franz Boas&mdash;in their efforts to affirm notions of racial equality. Thus,&#160;From Savage to Negro&#160;documents the paradoxically liberating and normalizing potentiality of anthropological thought."

"Rick Malleus and Marina Micari know the scholarly literature on intercultural reentry, but – perhaps more importantly – they know the reentry experience personally, emotionally, and kinesthetically. Their wellspring of scholarship and lived experiences provides students with useful tools to understand their own reentry encounters. This is a small book with very big, and very important, ideas. It is about an area of intercultural communication that is largely overlooked. After an international sojourn, reentry into one’s "home" culture initiates changes that can range from the very positive to the very negative, from the transformational to the disconfirming. Drs. Malleus and Micari provide returning students with an approach to understanding their intercultural experiences that will help them to learn and to grow from their reentry encounters. It is a much-needed addition to the intercultural communication literature."

- Myron W. (Ron) Lustig, Professor of Communication, San Diego State University, California, USA

"In an engaging and thought-provoking style, the authors illuminate and unpack the often-challenging experience of students’ return back into their own culture after an overseas study experience. By skillfully combining real-life examples and current interdisciplinary theory and research, they present tools and strategies for maximizing the insights and skills acquired during the overseas experience - and provide useful suggestions for marketing these new skills to future employers."

- Judith Martin, Professor Emerita of Intercultural Communication, Arizona State University, USA

"Malleus and Micari’s new book provides a unique and welcomed addition to the literature on student reentry. Specifically addressing the returning student, the book skillfully provides an accessible but comprehensive survey of the scholarly literature while guiding the student through reflective questions intended to deepen understanding while providing adaptation tools. The authors have seamlessly combined developmental psychology, intercultural communication and reentry research to provide students with a wide-ranging perspective on their transition experiences. Every student returning home from an international experience should have this book in their carry-on luggage."

- Nan M. Sussman, Professor of Psychology, The College of Staten Island, City University of New York, USA

"Malleus and Micari offer an exceptionally thoughtful resource for study abroad students. The book is well organized and profiles the real-life experiences of students who have endured reentry culture shock, which is an often misunderstood and overlooked phenomenon. Coming Home Your Way: Understanding University Student Intercultural Reentry should be required reading for those students planning to study abroad but is also an excellent resource for any intercultural communication course! Very well done!"
