David Hume (1711-1776), philosopher, historian, and
essayist, is widely considered to be Britain-s greatest
philosopher. One of the leading intellectual figures of

ideas, especially his radical empiricism and his critique
of the pretensions of philosophical rationalism, remain
hugely influential on contemporary philosophers. This
comprehensive and accessible guide to Hume-s life and
work includes 21 specially commissioned essays, written
by a team of leading experts, covering every aspect of
Hume-s thought.

When the history of Christianity in the 20th Century is
written Trevor Huddleston will certainly occupy much
space. A major figure in the battle against Apartheid in
South Africa, his book Naught for Your Comfort (1956)
changed the perception of liberal Westerners about what
was really going on in that tortured land.

The partition of the Indian subcontinent, the collapse of
the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia, the reunification of
Germany, the continuing feud between two Koreas, the
Irish peace process, the case of Israel/Palestine and the
lingering division of Cyprus, have together given rise to
a huge body of literature. However, studies of partitions
have usually focused on individual cases. This innovative
volume uses comparative analysis to fill the gap in
partition studies and examines cross-cutting issues such
as:violence, state formation, union and regional
unification, geopolitics, transition. .

good foundation in quantitative skills. It combines the
classical, decision-oriented approach and the traditional
organization of corporate finance books with a
quantitative approach that is particularly well suited to
students with backgrounds in engineering and the natural
sciences. The book-s main emphasis is on investments in
real assets and the real options attached to them, but it
also includes extensive discussion of topics such as
portfolio theory, market efficiency, capital structure
and derivatives pricing.

This book analyses the dilemma and proposes that
development of local bond markets and achieving greater
market depth and interconnectedness is the best bet to
prevent the reoccurrence of a currency crisis like 1997.
It thus, assesses the progress achieved thus far in
capital market integration in Asia, and compares it with
its global peers. The study also assesses the degree to
which volatility in equity and bond market returns,
driven by financial turmoil originating at both the
regional and global levels, spills over into emerging
Asia domestic equity and bond markets.

363.47 HEA 141417
This book explores the material, cultural and moral
fragmentation of the boundaries of imperial and colonial
rule in the British Empire in the late nineteenth and
early twentieth centuries. It charts how a particular bio
political project, namely the drive to regulate the
obscene in late nineteenth-century Britain, was
transformed from a national into a global and imperial
venture and then re-localized in two different colonial
contexts, India and Australia, to serve decidedly
different ends. This book illustrates that it is in fact
only through a comparative and transnational framework
that it is possible to elucidate both the temporalist
nature of colonialism and the political, racial and moral
contradictions that sustained imperial and colonial
regimes.

The book provides a perspective for viewing the
increasing levels of corruption in the higher echelons of
politics and bureaucracy in post-Independence India. It
looks at the limits of popular struggles and
legislative/administrative measures to combat it. Tracing
the roots of anti-corruption movements to the JP Movement
of the 1970s, it presents an in-depth coverage of the
recent protests led by Anna Hazare and Ramdev and the
emergence of the Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party.The
book focuses on cases of large-scale embezzlement and the
popular reaction against it and shows how corruption
manifests itself in the Indian social, economic and
political contexts. It underlines the crucial role of
state institutions and a vigilant civil society in
tackling this problem. .

ISBN : 9781441111005.

This book is a critical study of the relationship between
bodies, memories and communal witnessing. With a focus on
the aesthetics and politics of queer postcolonial
narratives, this book examines how unspeakable traumas of
colonial and familial violence are communicated through
the body. Exploring multisensory epistemologies as queer
and anti-colonial acts of resistance, the author offers
an original engagement with collective and public forms
of bearing witness that may emerge in response to
institutionalized violence.

2011.
xxi, 314p. , 21cm.
ISBN : 9788190618649.
954.035 ZAC 141413
This book examines the tension between the -nation- idea
as a necessary language of legitimacy with which to claim
liberation, and its role in disciplining people and their
identities in India in the name of national liberation.
Focusing on the anticolonial struggle and the subsequent
-Nehruvian- period, it seeks to show the ambiguities,
exclusions and consequent dangers of nationalism, and the
ways in which scholarship and politics conspire to reify
nationalist frameworks. It explodes spurious claims to
-indigenous traditions-, and argues for a consistent
separation of the categories -state- and -nation-.

The British divided and quit India in 1947. The partition
of India and the creation of Pakistan uprooted entire
communities and left unspeakable violence in its trail.
This book tells the story of partition through the events
that led up to it, the terrors that accompanied it, to
migration and resettlement. The book also explores the
legacies of partition which continue to resonate today in
the fractured lives of individuals and communities, and
more broadly in the relationship between India and
Pakistan and the ongoing conflict over contested sites.It
reflects on the general implications of partition as a
political solution to ethnic and religious conflict.
