2 Wujastyk, Dagmar
Well-mannered medicine : medical ethics and etiquette in
classical Ayurveda / Dagmar Wujastyk.-- Oxford: Oxford
University Press, 2012.
vi, 238p. 23cm.
ISBN : 9780199859962.
174.295538 WUJ 137579
This book explores the moral discourses on the practice
of medicine in the foundational texts of Ayurveda. The
classical ayurvedic treatises were composed in Sanskrit
between the first and the seventh centuries CE, and later
works, dating into the sixteenth century CE, are still
considered strongly authoritative. As author shows, these
works testify to an elaborate system of medical ethics
and etiquette. Physicians looked to the ayurvedic
treatises for a guide to professional conduct. Ayurvedic
discourses on good medical practice depict the physician
as highly-educated, skilled, moral, and well-mannered.

Evil is not confined to war or to circumstances in which
people are acting under extreme duress. Today it more
frequently reveals itself in the everyday insensitivity
to the suffering of others, in the inability or refusal
to understand them and in the casual turning away of
one-s ethical gaze. Evil and moral blindness lurk in what
we take as normality and in the triviality and banality
of everyday life, and not just in the abnormal and
exceptional cases.

This is a disturbing account of the rising tide of
Islamophobia sweeping through the United States and
Europe. Nathan Lean takes us through a world of
conservative bloggers, right-wing talk show hosts,
evangelical religious leaders and politicians, all united
in their quest to exhume the ghosts of 9/11 and convince
their compatriots that Islam is the enemy. Lean uncovers
their scare tactics, reveals their motives and exposes
the ideologies that drive their propaganda
machine. Situating Islamophobia within a long history of
national and international phobias, The Islamophobia
Industry challenges the narrative of fear that has for
too long dominated discussions about Muslims and Islam.

This book is a highly innovative contribution to the
study of popular culture. Focusing on the youth cultures
that revolve around dance clubs and raves, it highlights
the values of authenticity and hipness, and explores the
complex hierarchies that emerge within the domain of
popular culture. Using a combination of methods, the book
paints a picture of club cultures as "taste cultures"
brought together by micro-media (like flyers and
listings), transformed into self-conscious "subcultures"
by niche media (like the music and style press), and
sometimes recast as "movements" with the aid of mass
media (like tabloid newspaper front pages).

and what do we mean by "intelligence failure?"- In this

The worldwide race to attract talents is getting tougher.
The US has been leading the race, with its ability to
attract PhD candidates and graduates not only from
emerging countries, but also from the European Union.
However, a growing number of countries have adopted
immigration policies specifically aimed at selecting and
attracting skilled workers. This book describes the
global competition to attract talents. It focuses in
particular on two phenomena: the brain gain and brain
drain associated with high-skilled migration.

Despite the existence of government policies and
programmes, the incidence of child labour is high in
India. Taking State Child Labour Programme (SCLP)
implemented in Karnataka as a case, this book suggests
the institutional changes that are needed to tackle the
problem of child labour. SCLP did well in the
identification and rehabilitation of child labourers. In
order to reduce the problem of child labour, the
government should rehabilitate children through
residential bridge schools, reserve seats in the
government schools with hostels for rehabilitated child
labourers and provide appropriate vocational education to
children uninterested in regular school education.

xix, 234p. 23cm.
ISBN : 9780415674638.
343.240721 CEN 137307
This book analyses multi-level governance in competition
policy, or "antitrust federalism" as it is called by
students of competition policy, in the US and the EU from
a comparative perspective. The book compares how
competition laws and authorities of different levels -
the federal and the state levels in the US and the
national and the supranational levels in the EU -
interact with each other. The EU and the US stand among
the strongest existing examples of multi-level polities
and they developed mature competition policies. Despite
such similarities, however, recent developments imply
that they are moving in different directions in the field
of antitrust federalism. The book is essentially
multidisciplinary in its effort to initiate dialogue
between the Law and Political Science literatures in this
field. This book will be of particular interest to
academics, students and practitioners of
Competition Law, Constitutional Law and Political
Science.

experience can be a ready asset from which to glean
valuable information, particularly in relation to
teaching and learning, academic support and the formal
and informal curriculum. In this way, the issues
affecting international students can be seen as part of
the larger set of difficulties that face all students at

398.2095414 MAJ 137201
Bringing together twelve stories from Thakurmar Jhuli,
originally compiled by Dakshinaranjan Mitra Majumdar in
1907, this book opens a window to the true spirit of
grandmother-s yarns. From -Dalim Kumar-, the story of a
prince who has to match his wits against a demoness to
save his brothers to -Fox the Schoolteacher-, a morbid
tale about a wily fox whose evil deeds leads to his own
downfall, these stories are told in a language that is
simple and full of rhymes and songs. Originating in
centuries-old tales passed down through generations in
the villages of Bengal, the collection recovers the fast-
disappearing heritage of traditional fairytales that were
once an oral legacy of every child in India. These twelve
stories-freshly translated for the volume and accompanied
by evocative line drawings-capture the spirit of the
original stories while retaining their readability.

centuries, growth in advanced economies has been strongly
linked to innovation.Despite the vast amounts written
about innovation over the years, understanding of its
drivers remains surprisingly limited.

The study of leadership is a rapidly evolving, multi-
faceted field. It is conceptualized as a social and
cultural phenomenon, which cannot be fully understood
from a single perspective. The leader, the follower, the
context, and the interactions amongst these elements must
all be considered. The Oxford Handbook of Leadership
explores the complex relationship between leader, led,
and the environment that constitutes leadership.

Traversing remote mountain passes, visiting ancient
archaeological sites, crossing rivers in shaky boats and
immersing himself in old records and manuscripts, Sanyal
raises important, perennial questions about Indian
history. Why do Indians call their country Bharat? How
did the British build the railways across the
subcontinent? What was it like to sail on an Indian Ocean
merchant ship in the fifth century AD? Why was the
world-s highest mountain named after George Everest?.
With sparkling wit and intelligence, the author sets off
to explore India and look at how the country-s history
was shaped by, among other things, its rivers, mountains
and cities.
