Bloomsbury Academic India. Paperback. NEW. The Sikh community has experienced significant transformations in recent history, undergoing demographic, occupational, and experiential shifts. These changes have resulted from both unwanted displacements and voluntary movements, as well as the impact of a rapidly changing world. While these shifts have given rise to new facets within the Sikh community, they have also elicited mixed responses from those outside of the community.

HarperCollins. Hardcover. NEW. Brand new deluxe edition of this definitive companion to The Hobbit, quarter-bound, stamped in gold foil with a unique design inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien’s own artwork, featuring a ribbon marker and housed in a matching custom-built slipcase. The Hobbit was first published on 21 September 1937.
