Due to the demise of the Soviet Union and resultantly the end of the Cold War a new World Order is emerging. In the Post Cold War World ideologies have become weak the role and influence of states is on decline the concept of sovereignty is under a constant attack. The primacy of economics tends to question the legitimacy as well as the relevance of the public ownership of the means of production and distribution The strong and perhaps irreversible trends towards greater privatisation economic reforms debureaucratisation and penchant for integrating national economies with global economy and regional economic groupings are clearly visible. In this volume a battery of experts and scholars have made their contributions while examining the undercurrents of the international system. The international system is in a great flux. Contrary to the Cold War perceptions a new beginning has been made by great powers to restructure and redefine their bilateral as well as multilateral relations based primarily on mutually beneficial interests. This promises better prospects for strengthening their economies promoting trade scientific and cultural cooperation among them. In this volume the new developments in the great power relationship of the US China and India have been thoroughly examined by specialists of their respective fields. New insights and interpretations with logical conclusions are the real strength of this volume. 184 pp.

In the world of library and information technology a catalogue is a key to knowledge and learning. In a library cataloguing is the most important work. As a matter of fact catalogue is a list of books maps coins stamps sound recordings or materials in any other medium that constitute a collection. Its prime purpose is to record describe and index the holdings of a specific collection. Besides cataloguing bibliographic control is a transcription of the complete cataloguing record (i) to provide all the information necessary to describe an item accurately both physically and intellectually in order to distinguish it from every other item and (ii) to provide its location in the classified collection. When such a record is available in the catalogue at each of several access points (e.g. author title subject) these entries then become an index to the collection. Thus in the catalogue the patron can find two important pieces of information whether the library has the item wanted and if so where it is located in the collection. The present book compiles judiciously selected informative readings on library cataloguing principles and practices. Attempts are made to gather vital information in the light of latest developments in the field. 266 pp.

The work deals with the probable etiology of drug abuse and its effect on human health personality and society. It also discusses about the strategies (yogic meditation and contemplation) for amelioration and treatment of drug abusers. The book is documented with an exhaustive preface seventh chapters and two appendixes. The chapter Yogic Personality and two appendices (i.e. (i) Major Psychoactive (mind altering) drugs and (ii) Practice of Preksha meditation for the treatment of drug abusers) have been added to the original thesis. 199 pp.

Hardbound. Condition: As New. New. Contents Preface. 1. Managing communication. 2. Listening versus hearing. 3. Communication in the society. 4. Communication behavior. 5. Communication through technology. Good communication can seem too dangerous suggests the curious turn of thought that misunderstandings and poor communication in some circumstances might be functional for preserving intact our intrinsic perspectives and biases. Writers on the subject of communication typically adopt the point of view that poor communication is a problem everyone laments and that as far as everyone is concerned we would be better off with communicative clarity. Effective listening is reflective empathetic listening. Before responding to a statement a listener is advised to be certain he/she has reflectively understood the statement in the speaker's terms. This requires a sensitivity to the speaker's life experiences perspectives and frame of references which may be quite different from the listener's. The listener must be able to see things through the eyes of the speaker before he/she can be sure he/she has understood. Listening empathetically however may not be as easily achieved as it might sound. Writers on the subject have noted that in addition to willingness and the necessary skills empathetic listening requires courage. The book is useful to management trainees research scholars media professionals and all those who wish to develop their communication skills and wants to excel in their life venture. 244 pp.

The science of environment and the practice of natural resource management are critical to our understanding of the earth's ecosystems and our efforts to conserve them. This book attempts to bridge the gap between environmental science and natural resource management. It describes how concepts and approaches used by environmentalists to study communities and ecosystems can be applied to their management. This book emphasizes the importance of thoughtfully designed and carefully conducted scientific studies to both the advancement of environmental knowledge and the application of techniques for the management of natural resources. It is aimed at natural resource managers as well as graduate and advanced undergraduate students who are familiar with fundamental ecological principles and who want to use ecological knowledge as a basis for the management of natural resources. 306 pp.

Hardbound. Condition: As New. New. Contents Preface. 1. Theories and principles of transition metal chemistry. 2. Characteristic properties of transition metals. 3. Organometallic compounds. 4. Organotransition metal chemistry. 5. Photoemission in transition metals. 6. NMR shifts in paramagnetic transition metal oxides. 7. Interstitial transition metal impurities in silicon. 8. Transition metal complexes of water soluble phosphines. 9. C F and C C Bond activation by transition metals. The term Transition Metals has two meanings. In the narrow sense of the word transition metals are elements with partly occupied 3d 4d and 5d shells which form large periods in the Mendeleev periodic table. Sometimes this term is applied to all the elements with partly filled inner electron shells (transition group elements) including 4f (rare earths RE) and 5f (actinides). The book covers all main properties of transition metals and corresponding theoretical concepts. It is devoted to consideration of the non trivial chemical properties especial attention being paid to connection with the electronic structure. It do not pretend to consider all the variety of TM compounds and alloys but tries to illustrate some interesting chemical phenomena which are not pronounced for elemental metals by some bright examples. 251 pp.

Reactivity of alcohol. 6. Reactions of aldehydes and ketones. 7. Sulfur and phosphorus compounds. 8. Aromatic substitution reactions. 9. Reactions of amines. Index. Organic Chemistry is most commonly and simply defined as the chemistry of carbon compounds the essential elements of life. Industrial applications of organic chemistry have led to the manufacture of drugs synthetic fibers plastics dyes pesticides and a host of other useful materials. Clearly organic chemistry has touched all our lives. The present book constructs organic chemistry from the grouch up. It aims to provide students with an introduction to the recent developments in the field of organic chemistry. By building up a picture of the various models detailing the structure of organic compounds the student will start to understand how and why they react. By developing the language of organic chemistry students should be able to communicate ideas about reactivity clearly and should start to be able to propose their own mechanisms for various reactions. 291 pp.
