Kaveri Books, New Delhi, 2008. 2nd edition. Hardcover. New. 15 x 23 cm. This book focuses, for the first time, on an entirely different genre of terrorism which, although it derives its inspiration from the Al Qaida, has evolved its own dangerous mixture of state sponsorship, mafia support and religious fanaticism. In the process, the sub-continent has seen the emergence of the Lashkar-e-Toiba as a new international behemoth, coupled with an explosion of religious schools in Pakistan whose alumni fanned out in Diaspora of bigotry not only over the sub-continent but across South East Asia. Thus, the LET, its parent the Jamaat-ud-Dawa and its auxiliaries can truly be counted as the next generation of home-grown terrorist groups with wide international ramifications. The danger from the LET and its fellow travelers is far greater than posed by the Al Qaida. The LET is the only terrorist organization that enjoys the protection and guidance afforded by the ISI. Unlike the Al Qaida, which depended on scattered support, the LET and its cohorts have ready access to the world-wide support of the Dawood Ibrahim mafia by way of transport, arms, ammunition, safe houses and legends. Besides, the author has placed China and Saudi Arabia under a microscope for their sins of omission and commission. In many respects, therefore, this book is a trail-blazer, a must for all serious students of terrorism. Contents: Preface 1. CONCEPT OF JIHAD : i. Islam, Jihad and Terrorism ii.

Higher Education, in quite a few Countries of the World, has been facing a resource crisis. In India, the University Institutions have been subjected to an inexplicable ambivalence on the part of the government, both central and states, since early seventies resulting in inadequacy of resources for their maintenance and development. The problem got accentuated with the onset of the New Economic Policy launched in the I990`s. As a fall out, accent was laid on liberalization, decentralization, decontrol and privatisation. Emphasis was also laid on pro-active participation of private bodies in the establishment, management and financing of institutions of higher education. This study, besides analysing the various contours of financing of higher education, attempts to bring into sharp Focus the likely impact of privatization and marketization of higher Education with particular reference to access, Efficiency and Equity in the system. It also discusses the implications of Globalization and internationalisation of higher education. The Study examines, among others, the Nature and extent of involvement of private sector, particularly of the Industrial and commercial houses, in establishing, funding and managing of institutions of higher education. It is expected to Help the Academic community, educational planners and administrators to work out strategies to promote private participation, keeping in view the continuing resource crunch that the university system is facing. It will also help in evolving policy guidelines to meet the global challenges posed by the onset of globalization and its corollary of internationalization of higher education. Contents: I.

Softcover. New. This textbook provides a comprehensive, systematic treatise on development economics, combining classical political economy, modern institutional theory, and current development issues. Grown out of twenty years` experience of teaching in the United States and Japan, its treatment is global, although the organizing principle is the East Asian development experience. Taking a comparative institutional analysis approach, it also outlines quantitative characteristics of Third World development in terms of population growth, natural resource depletion, capital accumulation, and technological change. Development Economics addresses one major question: Why has a small set of countries achieved a high level of affluence while the majority remain poor and stagnant? One obvious factor is a the ability to adopt and develop advanced technology, due in large measure to the difficulty experienced by low-income economies in preparing appropriate institutions for borrowing advanced technology given their social and cultural constraints. This volume explores the nature of these constraints, with the aim of identifying the means to remove them, and examines countries where the constraints have been successfully lifted---most notably Japan and East Asian NIEs. This fully revised and updated third edition also incorporates analyses of several recent changes and newly emerged problems relevant to the global economy: recurrent economic crises in Latin America contrasted with the recovery of East Asia from the 1997-8 financial crisis; a paradigm change in international development assistance from `the Washington Consensus` to the `the Post-Washington Consensus`, with a major shift in its focus from economic growth to poverty reduction as manifested in the United Nations` Millennium Development Goals; and the stalemate in international collaboration on the environment as represented by delays in the ratification of the Kyoto Protocol. In exploring these issues, Development Economics provides important lessons on what institutions can promote economic growth, reduce poverty, and conserve the environment through the borrowing of technology.

This is another paragraph Review: Ronald Reagan was apparently famed for his love of sleep and hated to be disturbed during the night. Paul McCartney dreamed some of his best songs while asleep, including Yesterday, Yellow Submarine and Let It Be. Paul Martin's book tells you everything you ever wanted to know about sleep. Although a recent study suggested that too much sleep might be bad for us, Martin is firmly of the opinion that we don't get enough of it. Looking at the long-hours culture of British politics, he suggests it's hogwash to believe it's both feasible and admirable to sleep only four hours a night. Sleepiness, he points out, is partly responsible for many of the world's worst major accidents including the Supertanker Exxon Valdez and the Three Mile Island Power Station. Sleepiness results in more deaths on the road than alcohol or drugs. What is sleep for? Martin examines the various theories. Is it simply the best thing to do during darkness? Is it for brain maintenance? Are dreams merely waste products? He examines remedies for insomnia from opium through to valerian, to having your feet tickled. He looks at sleep walking, night terrors, nightmares and snoring. There is a whole chapter on the curious phenomena of nocturnal emissions and yawning. We just don't appreciate our beds enough. Winston Churchill worked in bed all morning. John Bayley writes his books in bed. Benjamin Disraeli used two beds in hot weather, keeping cool by moving back and forth between them. An American psychologist has even suggested that George Bush's gaffes and garbled sentences are the result of lack of shut-eye on the part of a man who needs a lot of it. The book deplores the way society wilfully ignores the problem of sleep. Sleep disorders are given only five minutes in a medical education syllabus, and the prime importance of sleep for the recovery of hospital patients is totally ignored in the organization of most hospital routines., HarperCollins, 3, Alameda, California, U.S.A.: Hunter House, 2002. Soft cover. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall. Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health problem in America, affecting one in every nine people. Conquering Panic and Anxiety Disorders brings us triumphant tales by those who have overcome them. Men and women of diverse ages and backgrounds share their individual experiences battling anxiety. Offering hope and inspiration, their essays discuss methods for recovery and techniques to manage symptoms. Each account is followed by a therapist's explanation of the recovery techniques used and how others can apply these techniques to their lives., Hunter House, 2002, 3, Oxford University Press, 2005.

Kaveri Books, New Delhi, 2008. 2nd edition. Hardcover. New. 15 x 23 cm. This book focuses, for the first time, on an entirely different genre of terrorism which, although it derives its inspiration from the Al Qaida, has evolved its own dangerous mixture of state sponsorship, mafia support and religious fanaticism. In the process, the sub-continent has seen the emergence of the Lashkar-e-Toiba as a new international behemoth, coupled with an explosion of religious schools in Pakistan whose alumni fanned out in Diaspora of bigotry not only over the sub-continent but across South East Asia. Thus, the LET, its parent the Jamaat-ud-Dawa and its auxiliaries can truly be counted as the next generation of home-grown terrorist groups with wide international ramifications. The danger from the LET and its fellow travelers is far greater than posed by the Al Qaida. The LET is the only terrorist organization that enjoys the protection and guidance afforded by the ISI. Unlike the Al Qaida, which depended on scattered support, the LET and its cohorts have ready access to the world-wide support of the Dawood Ibrahim mafia by way of transport, arms, ammunition, safe houses and legends. Besides, the author has placed China and Saudi Arabia under a microscope for their sins of omission and commission. In many respects, therefore, this book is a trail-blazer, a must for all serious students of terrorism. Contents: Preface 1. CONCEPT OF JIHAD : i. Islam, Jihad and Terrorism ii.

Besides, the author has placed China and Saudi Arabia under a microscope for their sins of omission and commission. In many respects, therefore, this book is a trail-blazer, a must for all serious students of terrorism. Contents: Preface 1. CONCEPT OF JIHAD : i. Islam, Jihad and Terrorism ii.

Global Jihad: Current Patterns and Future TrendsRajeev Sharma9788174790538, Kaveri Books, New Delhi, 2008, 6, Kaveri Books, New Delhi, 2008. 2nd edition. Hardcover. New. 15 x 23 cm. This book focuses, for the first time, on an entirely different genre of terrorism which, although it derives its inspiration from the Al Qaida, has evolved its own dangerous mixture of state sponsorship, mafia support and religious fanaticism. In the process, the sub-continent has seen the emergence of the Lashkar-e-Toiba as a new international behemoth, coupled with an explosion of religious schools in Pakistan whose alumni fanned out in Diaspora of bigotry not only over the sub-continent but across South East Asia. Thus, the LET, its parent the Jamaat-ud-Dawa and its auxiliaries can truly be counted as the next generation of home-grown terrorist groups with wide international ramifications. The danger from the LET and its fellow travelers is far greater than posed by the Al Qaida. The LET is the only terrorist organization that enjoys the protection and guidance afforded by the ISI. Unlike the Al Qaida, which depended on scattered support, the LET and its cohorts have ready access to the world-wide support of the Dawood Ibrahim mafia by way of transport, arms, ammunition, safe houses and legends. Besides, the author has placed China and Saudi Arabia under a microscope for their sins of omission and commission.

Higher Education, in quite a few Countries of the World, has been facing a resource crisis. In India, the University Institutions have been subjected to an inexplicable ambivalence on the part of the government, both central and states, since early seventies resulting in inadequacy of resources for their maintenance and development. The problem got accentuated with the onset of the New Economic Policy launched in the I990`s. As a fall out, accent was laid on liberalization, decentralization, decontrol and privatisation. Emphasis was also laid on pro-active participation of private bodies in the establishment, management and financing of institutions of higher education. This study, besides analysing the various contours of financing of higher education, attempts to bring into sharp Focus the likely impact of privatization and marketization of higher Education with particular reference to access, Efficiency and Equity in the system. It also discusses the implications of Globalization and internationalisation of higher education. The Study examines, among others, the Nature and extent of involvement of private sector, particularly of the Industrial and commercial houses, in establishing, funding and managing of institutions of higher education. It is expected to Help the Academic community, educational planners and administrators to work out strategies to promote private participation, keeping in view the continuing resource crunch that the university system is facing. It will also help in evolving policy guidelines to meet the global challenges posed by the onset of globalization and its corollary of internationalization of higher education. Contents: I.

Softcover. New. This textbook provides a comprehensive, systematic treatise on development economics, combining classical political economy, modern institutional theory, and current development issues. Grown out of twenty years` experience of teaching in the United States and Japan, its treatment is global, although the organizing principle is the East Asian development experience. Taking a comparative institutional analysis approach, it also outlines quantitative characteristics of Third World development in terms of population growth, natural resource depletion, capital accumulation, and technological change. Development Economics addresses one major question: Why has a small set of countries achieved a high level of affluence while the majority remain poor and stagnant? One obvious factor is a the ability to adopt and develop advanced technology, due in large measure to the difficulty experienced by low-income economies in preparing appropriate institutions for borrowing advanced technology given their social and cultural constraints. This volume explores the nature of these constraints, with the aim of identifying the means to remove them, and examines countries where the constraints have been successfully lifted---most notably Japan and East Asian NIEs. This fully revised and updated third edition also incorporates analyses of several recent changes and newly emerged problems relevant to the global economy: recurrent economic crises in Latin America contrasted with the recovery of East Asia from the 1997-8 financial crisis; a paradigm change in international development assistance from `the Washington Consensus` to the `the Post-Washington Consensus`, with a major shift in its focus from economic growth to poverty reduction as manifested in the United Nations` Millennium Development Goals; and the stalemate in international collaboration on the environment as represented by delays in the ratification of the Kyoto Protocol. In exploring these issues, Development Economics provides important lessons on what institutions can promote economic growth, reduce poverty, and conserve the environment through the borrowing of technology.

This is another paragraph Review: Ronald Reagan was apparently famed for his love of sleep and hated to be disturbed during the night. Paul McCartney dreamed some of his best songs while asleep, including Yesterday, Yellow Submarine and Let It Be. Paul Martin's book tells you everything you ever wanted to know about sleep. Although a recent study suggested that too much sleep might be bad for us, Martin is firmly of the opinion that we don't get enough of it. Looking at the long-hours culture of British politics, he suggests it's hogwash to believe it's both feasible and admirable to sleep only four hours a night. Sleepiness, he points out, is partly responsible for many of the world's worst major accidents including the Supertanker Exxon Valdez and the Three Mile Island Power Station. Sleepiness results in more deaths on the road than alcohol or drugs. What is sleep for? Martin examines the various theories. Is it simply the best thing to do during darkness? Is it for brain maintenance? Are dreams merely waste products? He examines remedies for insomnia from opium through to valerian, to having your feet tickled. He looks at sleep walking, night terrors, nightmares and snoring. There is a whole chapter on the curious phenomena of nocturnal emissions and yawning. We just don't appreciate our beds enough. Winston Churchill worked in bed all morning. John Bayley writes his books in bed. Benjamin Disraeli used two beds in hot weather, keeping cool by moving back and forth between them. An American psychologist has even suggested that George Bush's gaffes and garbled sentences are the result of lack of shut-eye on the part of a man who needs a lot of it. The book deplores the way society wilfully ignores the problem of sleep. Sleep disorders are given only five minutes in a medical education syllabus, and the prime importance of sleep for the recovery of hospital patients is totally ignored in the organization of most hospital routines., HarperCollins, 3, Alameda, California, U.S.A.: Hunter House, 2002. Soft cover. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall. Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health problem in America, affecting one in every nine people. Conquering Panic and Anxiety Disorders brings us triumphant tales by those who have overcome them. Men and women of diverse ages and backgrounds share their individual experiences battling anxiety. Offering hope and inspiration, their essays discuss methods for recovery and techniques to manage symptoms. Each account is followed by a therapist's explanation of the recovery techniques used and how others can apply these techniques to their lives., Hunter House, 2002, 3, Oxford University Press, 2005.
