![]() The two factors which he has highlighted are, the adverse effects on the poor of the steep rise in the price due to the inflation of currency by the government and the reduction in market supplies due to speculative hoarding which also helped to boost prices further. Sen’s theory led to a controversy on whether food availability decline was not the cause for the Bengal famine. Sen gives very interesting data on how with relative rise in rice prices and the collapse of the rural labour’s entitlements of purchasing rice, there was a relative fall in the prices of a number of other commodities, like wheat flour, mustard oil, cloth, milk, fish, and haircuts. Sen identified various causes that lead to different famines and demonstrated that the decline in aggregate food availability is not the primary cause. He relates the head-count ratio of poverty to the measure of inequality of deprivation of people below the poverty line. He examined various meanings of poverty and drew attention to the incidence of absolute and relative deprivation. In the essay, several famines have been studied in the working of a general theoretical frame work from an original angle. ![]() ![]() Sen’s “Poverty and Famines”, an essay by Sen on Entitlement and Deprivation (1981) is both theoretical and applied work. ![]() The following points highlight the seven main contributions of Amartya Kumar Sen to Economics. ![]()

If you look at the Bible in a wooden fashion, this contradiction does seem to be absurd on the face of it. Did Jesus or John have a painfully short attention span? Either Jesus or John were having a ‘brain fart’. Either Jesus had a very short attention span or there is something strange going on with the sources for these chapters, creating an odd kind of disconnect. And then, a few minutes later, at the same meal, Jesus upbraids his disciples, saying, “Now I am going to the one who sent me, yet none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’” (John 16:5). ![]() In John 13:36, Peter says to Jesus, “Lord, where are you going?” A few verses later Thomas says, “Lord, we do not know where you are going” (John 14:5). ![]() One of my favorite apparent discrepancies-I read John for years without realizing how strange this one is-comes in Jesus’ “Farewell Discourse,” the last address that Jesus delivers to his disciples, at his last meal with them, which takes up all of chapters 13 to 17 in the Gospel according to John. For example, agnostic NT scholar Bart Ehrman points out one of his favorite Bible contradictions in his book best-selling book, Jesus, Interrupted. And these same skeptics say that some of these contradictions are downright absurd. Skeptics say that the gospels are riddled with contradictions and therefore are not reliable historical sources. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In fact, Mead was wise not to omit herself from this story, as her feelings about the great work and its themes of women’s roles, relationships and self-delusion are far more insightful than a barrage of facts would have been. Obviously fleshed out from her New Yorker article “Middlemarch and Me,” Mead ( One Perfect Day: The Selling of the American Wedding, 2007) could have simply written a dense biography of Mary Ann Evans, who would go on to write some of the most enduring novels of the Victorian era under her pen name. When it works well-e.g., Alan Light’s The Holy and the Broken (2012)-the results can be marvelous. This subgenre-examining personal history through the echoes of a singular work of art-can be riddled with land mines. A New Yorker writer examines the arc of her life in the reflection of George Eliot’s Middlemarch. ![]() ![]() ![]() The first volume, published in 1798 was published anonymously. ![]() The first point of interest is the names on each of the volumes.

How many people recommend it to friends as a great science-fiction book? I breezed through the audiobook of Camouflage in just 8 hours, and while it was fast-paced and action-packed, it left almost no impression at all. It is a major literary work of speculative fiction, and won the Hugo, World Fantasy, Locus, and Mythopoeic awards, and was even nominated for the Man Booker Prize and Guardian Award. Clarke’s book is incredibly long and filled with dense footnotes that show the depth of research and creative energy, perhaps too much for some readers but showing great effort on the author’s part. It was also made into a major BBC miniseries and received many accolades. Norrell for the Nebula Award in 2005?
