Book cover image © by AFP PHOTO/Aamir QURESHI:
A bird sits on a tree during a solar eclipse in Islamabad, 29 March 2006. The umbra was tracking eastward at dizzying speed across Africa and parts of the Middle East before expiring in Asia where it was to end at 1148 GMT, covering a distance of 14,500 kilometres (9,000 miles).
Book selected for one of Current Research sessions, Society for Phenomenology & Existential Philosophy, Washington, D.C., October 29, 2009.
