reader closer to this lost art, the authors present a
-Zoom in, Zoom out, Zoom in- technique to make -creation-

independent India. It was also an apocalyptic turning-

living there. This book narrates how Ayodhya-s
inhabitants experienced the events that led up to and
followed the destruction of the mosque.

No study of globalisation is possible, nor is it
thinkable, without referring to China, India, and Russia,
that is to say, without an analysis of their firms and
including them in the global network of firms. This book
deals at various places much more with their subtle
interactions or coordination, than opposition.

The 2008 financial crisis was the worst since the Great
Depression and many voices argued that it would transform
global financial governance. But half a decade later, how
much has really changed? In this book, the author surveys
the landscape and argues that continuity has marked
global financial governance more than dramatic
transformation.

Dangerous climate change is coming. Some people still deny
that it is happening. Others refuse to recognize that it
is now too late to prevent it. But both these reactions
spring from the same source: our pathological attachment
to progress, of which sustainability has been one more
version. This book traces that attachment to its roots in
the ways we make sense of ourselves. Original and
accessible, this is philosophy on the edge, written for
anyone who glimpses our environmental tragedy and cares
about our future.

Princeton University Press, 2009.
xviii, 286p. , 26cm.
ISBN : 9780691140520.
519.3 GIN 142785
Game theory is central to understanding human behavior
and relevant to all of the behavioral sciences-from
biology and economics, to anthropology and political
science. However, as this book demonstrates, game theory
alone cannot fully explain human behavior and should
instead complement other key concepts championed by the
behavioral disciplines. The author shows that just as
game theory without broader social theory is merely
technical bravado, so social theory without game theory
is a handicapped enterprise.

ethnographic context of the study is the interface

families in a local psychiatric hospital in New Delhi.
The book anchors the discussion around feminist thinking
and praxis in the mental health realm, along with the
traditions of cultural psychiatry and medical

The authors explain why the future of marketing must
focus on top global cities and their metro regions and
not squandered resources on small cities. The book details
the strategies for sustainable growth with topics
like: resource allocation in developed versus developing
city markets , shifting the focus to city regions instead
of central governments , the rise of new multinational
corporations from developing economies , declining
consumer and business growth in developed cities. They
argue that an inversion is taking place and top cities
are growing economically faster than their national rate
of growth.
