Rwanda. The very name evokes troubling images of unparalleled violence, senseless human atrocities, and genocide. The country is best known as the scene for one of the world's worst ethnic-based conflict. Approximately 1 million people were killed in 100 days in 1994, and millions more fled the country, while the world looked on passively, watching the daily carnage of human butchery on television. Rwanda is a tiny, landlocked country about the size of Maryland, but has many names.
This book you have in your hands is a compilation of some of Rumi’s poems with accompanying meditations. Although I am not a disciple of Rumi, I have always enjoyed his expansive insight and wisdom, and I believe his words speak to all people regardless of who they are or where they come from. I hope that you enjoy these selections, and it’s my sincere desire that Rumi can become a stepping-stone for you to explore the inner mysteries that make up the human heart.

Becoming a Subject - Reflections in Philosophy and Psychoanalysis
Marcia Cavell draws on philosophy, psychoanalysis, and the sciences of the mind in a fascinating and original investigation of human subjectivity.

Avatar script
Academy Award-winning writer/director James Cameron, the maker of Titanic and the creator of the Terminator series, has been crafting Avatar for over four years.
