Dar Al-Ketab Al-Thaqafee
The Cultural Book Publishing House | دار الكتاب الثقافي للنشر is a private,stand-alone institution, located in Jordan , est.1996. The book is a great responsibility, starting with its writing and making, through publishing and distributing it, and ending with acquiring and reading it, and in each of these cases, we need to be very careful of this responsibility. The author is primarily responsible for the subject and content of the book, an intellectual, emotional, literary responsibility, because the author who does not elevate his book to the reader in an ascending way, whether on the intellectual and emotional or literary and artistic levels, will constitute a scientific disappointment. The publisher is no less responsible for the author, the subject matter and the content, in addition to his responsibility for producing the book in a way that suits the book’s topic and importance. This is in addition to his media responsibility towards the book, so readers must be alerted and informed of the most creative methods and finest means about the book’s issuance, its importance and the importance of its topics, and enabling them to obtain and acquire it, and any failure to do so is a great disappointment. Our philosophy for this work is based on the slogan “When we choose for ourselves what we publish, we choose for you what you read.” Based on our philosophy and our understanding of this, we created the Dar Al-Kitaab Al-Thaqabi and worked in this wide and wide field, bearing the hardship of this painstaking work, hoping that the Almighty would achieve the desired goal of our contribution to enriching the people Knowledge is a knowledge and expansion in providing all the valuable books they need, wishing the honorable readers to value this effort for them, whether from the author, publisher or distributor, and God is behind the intention.

February 2005Eine kleine Geschichte Indiens
by Shashi Tharoor, Max Looser
»Indien ist nur ein geographischer Ausdruck, es ist so wenig Land wie der Äquator«, sagte Winston Churchill über diesen riesigen Subkontinent. Shashi Tharoor unternimmt, wie er selber sagt, dennoch den Versuch, sich diesem Land zu nähern, in dem achtzehn Hauptsprachen und zweiundzwanzigtausend Dialekte gesprochen werden, das über eine Milliarde Einwohner unterschiedlichster ethnischer Herkunft hat, in dem die Mehrzahl der Menschen ihre Nahrung mühselig dem Boden abringt, während einige wenige raffiniertere Software entwickeln als woanders auf der Welt. Genauso informativ wie leidenschaftlich schreibt er über das Indien nach der Unabhängigkeit, über den heutigen pluralistischen Staat, »in dem man nichts für selbstverständlich halten darf«.

March 2006Die Erfindung Indiens
Das Leben des Pandit Nehru
by Shashi Tharoor, Peter Knecht
Jawaharlal Nehru wurde 1889 in einer wohlhabenden und einflußreichen indischen Familie geboren. Seine Biographie schien klar vorgezeichnet: Jurastudium in England (Oxford) und dann Anwaltsberuf in Indien. Doch nach der Rückkehr aus England 1916 begegnet der bis dahin unauffällige Student dem charismatischen Mahatma Gandhi, dessen politische Einsichten und dessen Religiosität ihn faszinierten. Menschenwürde, Selbstbestimmung, Demokratie wurden die Ideale, für die Nehru, dem man den Titel "Pandit" ("Gelehrter") gab, fortan einstand. Shashi Tharoor erzählt den Werdegang Nehrus, das enge Vertrauensverhältnis zum Vater, Studium, Ehe und Geburt der Tochter Indira Gandhi, die Freundschaft zu Lord und Lady Mountbatten, die politische Arbeit als Präsident des Indischen Nationalkongresses und als erster Premierminister des Landes. Er schildert die Praktiken der Kolonialmacht, die doppelte Moral, mit der sie für die Verteidigung der Demokratie in den Zweiten Weltkrieg zog. Nehru und Gandhi gelang es, Millionen von Menschen zu bewegen und die Politik des Landes für Jahrzehnte zu bestimmen. Zusammen führten sie den gewaltlosen Kampf für Indiens Unabhängigkeit, einen Kampf, der erst 1947 gewonnen wurde. Doch weder Nehru noch Gandhi konnten die Spaltung des Landes in Indien und Pakistan verhindern: auch ein Preis der Unabhängigkeit. Vor dem Hintergrund der Auseinandersetzungen, die heute in Indien zwischen Hindus und Moslems stattfinden, stellt Tharoor die Frage, was aus Nehrus Vermächtnis geworden ist.

Roman
by Shashi Tharoor, Peter Knecht
Seine Laufbahn scheint klar vorgezeichnet zu sein. Doch der junge Ashok Banjara, Sohn des Ministers für Textilproduktion, entzieht sich dem Lebensplan, den seine Eltern für ihn entworfen haben. Anstatt nach dem Besuch der Elite-Universität wie sein Vater die politische Laufbahn einzuschlagen, versucht er, seinen Traum vom großen Leinwandstar zu verwirklichen. Und tatsächlich: Während sich eine solche Idee normalerweise schnell erledigt, eröffnet sich Ashok trotz seiner offenkundigen Talentlosigkeit eine Traumkarriere als Bollywood- Star. Ashok dreht einen Erfolgsfilm nach dem anderen, und immer spielt er den jungen, aufrechten Kämpfer für das Gute. Dem Kinopublikum, das zwischen Rolle und Person nicht unterscheidet, gilt er als moralische Instanz. Sein Privatleben sieht hingegen weniger glänzend aus. Seine Frau, die Schauspielerin Maya, die für die ganze Nation das Ideal der Reinheit und Unschuld verkörpert, leidet unter den zahllosen Affären Ashoks, dessen größte Sorge darin besteht, sein Schwarzgeld sicher auf einem Schweizer Nummernkonto zu verwahren. Aus einer Laune heraus steigt er in die Politik ein, kandidiert für einen Parlamentssitz. Doch als er in einen Parteispendenskandal verwickelt wird, ist sein positives Image dahin. Er taugt gerade noch für eine Rolle in einem religiösen Monumentalfilm, in dem es um die Zerstörung der Welt durch den göttlichen Willen geht. Bei den Dreharbeiten kommt es, wie im Film selbst, zu einer Brandkatastrophe, und plötzlich steht Ashok wieder im Rampenlicht. Vom Aufstieg und Fall eines Filmhelden mit großen Ambitionen und zweifelhafter Moral erzählt Shashi Tharoor in diesem tragikomischen Roman über das Showgeschäft: Alles ist inszeniert, Drehbuch und Wirklichkeit gehen nahtlos ineinander über. Eine groteske Maskerade von Verführung und Intrige zwischen Macht und Privilegien, Politik und Medien – die Mega-Filmindustrie Bombays (»Bollywood«) als Metapher für die moderne Gesellschaft.

Geschichten aus dem modernen Indien
by Cornelia Zetzsche
Sie sind Hindus, Moslems, Parsen, Christen oder Juden, gehören zur höchsten Kaste der Brahmanen oder zu den Unberührbaren. Sie kommen aus allen Teilen Indiens, leben in Delhi, Kalkutta, Bombay, Bangalore, Mysore, Ahmedabad und anderswo, sind Pendler zwischen den Welten wie Vikram Chandra oder Expatriates wie Shashi Tharoor. Sie erzählen von Brahmanen und Muslimen, von Benares und Bombay, schildern das Leben in den Städten und auf dem Land, berichten von Emigranten und von Zurückgekehrten. Es geht um Hochzeits- und Beerdigungsrituale, um Straßen- und Büroszenen, Arbeitskämpfe und Religionskonflikte, um den Unabhängigkeitstag, die Teilung Indiens oder um ein Leben zwischen den Kulturen. Oft ist von der Einsamkeit im Milliardenland die Rede, und immer wieder steht die Familie als Spiegel der Gesellschaft im literarischen Fokus. Über 50 Autoren und Autorinnen, vielfach mit den höchsten Literaturpreisen Indiens ausgezeichnet, sind in diesem Band mit Erzählungen, Romanauszügen und Gedichten aus elf Landessprachen vertreten. K. Satchidanandan, Lyriker und Präsident der Sahitya-Literaturakademie, schrieb das Vorwort zu dieser Anthologie. Kurzporträts charakterisieren die Autoren und skizzieren den Kontext ihrer Arbeit im literarischen Leben und im indischen Alltag.

Agriculture & farmingSeptember 2022Frost
Stress Mitigation in Subtropical Fruit Orchards
by Shashi Kumar Sharma
Subtropical regions are the areas experiencing hot summer and cold or frosty winters. Such regions lie between the temperate and tropical latitudes on the south and north of the equator. Under the NW sub-Himalayan conditions and in the adjoining plains, frost is a serious threat, especially for fruit crop cultivation. The cultivation of evergreen subtropical plants always remains under the threat of frost damage. Agricultural research has made significant advances in crop production practices but the technology for effective frost protection is still lacking. Scientists worldwide are working with enthusiasm, tenacity and dedication to keep up with this threat. This book is a collection of information developed by the author and by others across the globe on the management of frosty situations. It is an initiative for developing understanding amongst the masses about frost, frost-induced freezing and options which can be explored for mitigating its ill effects. Besides giving an overview of frost and its impact on subtropical fruit plantations, this book is an attempt to convey a simplified version of the information on orchard energy balance, mechanism of damage to plant tissues and biomolecular aspects of plant defence. Keeping growers perspectives in mind, the practical aspects and elaborations derived from open field studies have been duly considered while describing the frost sensitivity of crops, damage symptoms, frost prediction, delineation of frost-prone areas, and frost impact mitigation. The book is therefore a comprehensive narrative of theoretical and practical aspects of frost and its impact mitigation.

Geography & the EnvironmentNovember 2007Thinking Inside the Box
A Reader in Interiors for the 21st Century
by Edward Hollis, John Gigli, Frazer Hay, Andrew Milligan, Alex Milton and Drew Plunkett
Interiors is a slippery discipline. Among all designed artefacts, interiors themselves are uniquely ephemeral and hard to define. The practice of interiors is relatively unregulated. The history of interiors is patchy and contested. The theoretical basis of interiors is largely unexplored in comparison to those of other disciplines. How, therefore, might we speculate about the role, validity and purpose of interiors in the 21st century?Thinking Inside the Box is a reader designed to help students, academics, thinkers and practitioners of interiors do just that. Thinking Inside the Box is a collection of essays by prominent thinkers in the field of interiors, from Mark Taylor, co-author of ‘Intimus’ to Shashi Caan, the practitioner, and former head of interiors at Parsons, the new School of Design in New York. They address themes ranging from cushions, curtains, and feminism to the relationship between the interior and the enclave in the contemporary age of terror; from the regulation of the profession of interiors to the representation of the interior on the page and in history.

Agriculture & farmingJuly 2019Climate Change and Agriculture
Causes,Impacts and Interventation
by GSLHV Prasada Rao, VUM Rao & DVS Rao
Natural change in climate is slow and takes millions of years; and it is known to have made our planet hospitable to live. The climate change is not limited to one country or a continent. It is occurring across the globe as evident from droughts in Texas and flooding along the Missouri River in the United States and along the Red River in Canada. Climate change drives many stressors and interacts with many non-climatic stressors which make it difficult to forecast outcomes in any general way other than existing threats to agriculture. Agroforestry increases a high level of diversity within agricultural lands which supports numerous ecological and production services that bring resilience to the impact of climate change mitigation and adaptation. Climate change risk management is difficult in annual cropping systems due to increasing uncertainty of inter-annual variability in rainfall and temperature. Mixing of woody trees with crops, forage and livestock operations provides greater resilience to the inter-annual variability through crop diversification and increased resource use efficiency. Deep rooted trees allow better access to nutrients and water during droughts and when appropriately integrated into annual cropping systems and extract from different resource pools that would otherwise be lost from systems. Agroforestry increases soil porosity, reduces runoff and increases soil cover, which improve water infiltration and reduces moisture stress in low rainfall years. During periods of excessive soil moisture, tree based systems keep soils aerated by pumping out excess water and offer an economic return. The book contains 36 chapters mainly on agroforestry practices found in India and its role in climate change mitigation and adaptation.

Agriculture & farmingMay 2016Climate Change and Plantations in The Humid Tropics
by GSHLV Prasada Rao & C.S.Gopakumar
Weather and climate play an important role in plantation crops production. While climate determines the adaptability of a particular crop in a region, weather determines the yield attributes of the crop. The global warming and climate change impacts on plantation crops are evident in the form of extreme weather events like floods, droughts, cold and heat waves and strong cyclonic winds, the frequency of which is likely to be more and more in the ensuing decades as noticed year after year around the globe in 1998, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2014 and 2015. It is now a topic of concern and the plantations economy is in a threat in the ensuing decades due to climate variability. Decline in monsoon rainfall with number of rainy days, increasing ambient air temperatures (both day maximum and night minimum), decline in groundwater table, decline in wetland area and surface water resources, increasing number of forest fires and decline in forest area, increasing events of landslides during both the monsoon seasons, indiscriminate sand mining from river beds and unscientific land filling are the important climate change related issues in the Humid Tropics.
