Wisdom for Today from the Timeless ClassicThe Panchatantra, one of the worlds greatest collections of tales, was compiled in India by a learned Brahmin named Vishnusharman, more than 2,000 years ago. These stories were meant to impart worldly wisdom to the dull-witted sons of a king, and have since travelled the world, awakening intelligence in readers across centuries. Arthur Ryder, a Professor of Sanskrit at the University of California, translated the Sanskrit original into English in 1925. This re-write of the Ryder translation is aimed at todays busy reader and the original interwoven stories are presented separately. Archaic English prose makes way for modern language. The Principle clearly and simply summarizes the wisdom imparted at the end of each story. Arthur Ryders brilliant introduction and charming verse translations remain untouched.This book is a rare coming together of simple format, rich poetry, practical wisdom and lofty ideals, a vehicle to transmit the simple and timeless truths of the Panchatantra in a concise manner to a modern audience.

Answerable and Unanswerable Questions Does alien life exist? Is time travel possible? How did the Universe begin and how will it end? Is the future pre-determined? These are just some of the fascinating questions posed in this book which stretches across physics, the life sciences and cosmology. Each chapter considers a separate question and ends with either an answer or, if there is insufficient evidence, a 'best guess' answer. For every question addressed here-be it time travel, multiple universes, intergalactic travel, or the end of the world-the author has tried to exhaust all possibilities before arriving at a conclusion. Everyone will have their own opinion but one thing is certain- Mysteries of the Universe will fascinate, educate, and stimulate. "I really like the premise of this book... The questions are just those that a lay person wants the answers to and the division into answerable and unanswerable makes a distinction that is not always apparent." ANDREW NORTON, Professor of Astrophysics Education, The Open University, UK
