When Noorie’s sister Zoya dies, everything in Noorie’s world becomes silent. She knows her sister has gone forever. But what’s with Mummy’s silly lies that Zoya will always be around, by their side? And what is she to do about Zoya’s best friend Dhara, who just won’t leave Noorie alone? Boo! When My Sister Died is a story about finding strength in love and loss. Gautam Benegal blends a playful watercolour and wash-style with a somber digital crosshatch to bring together warmth in the memories of the sisters’ togetherness and the intensity of Noorie’s grief. Richa Jha’s spare and simple text keeps the story poignant, believable, and full of hope.

Shortly after entering office at the end of 2014, Afghan President Ashraf Ghani embarked on a bold but controversial policy of sustained conciliation toward Pakistan, with the goal of securing greater cooperation in securing a comprehensive peace with the Afghan Taliban and integrating Afghanistan into the regional economies. Pakistan's tepid response to date, however, has left Ghani politically vulnerable, with his opponents attacking his outreach effort. Time is of the essence. Without meaningful actions soon from Pakistan and robust support from the international community, especially China, the initiative is likely to collapse, with devastating results for Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the broader region.
A story of the ongoing struggle between power and poverty in Pakistan's town. It's an investigative novel because the author is a journalist, at times a social novel, but also an intimate novel, and always in a simple and elegant writing. Pakistan, with its social and urban problems, has so much to tell us. Sinopsis : In her search for the ‘other family’, Hina, a young journalist, takes us from her upper middle-class neighbourhood in Lahore, to a very different setting. The Parking Lot deals with the gulf between the rich and the poor in Pakistan, the Christian community discriminated and the muslim richer segment of society. “Set within the framework of a family coming to terms with its own dark secrets, Rabia Ahmed’s novel brings into sharp focus the discrimination, violence and injustice religious minorities face in Pakistan. At times her account doesn’t read like fiction, so familiar is the sequence of events to us. This compelling story should evoke, among readers, greater understanding and empathy for our marginalised fellow citizens who are equal on paper only.” Zohra Yusuf, former chairperson Human Rights Commission of Pakistan
The novel relates the story of a number of characters seemingly unconnected to one another, who are all seeking self-realization, each in his own way. The country is in turmoil. Demonstrations erupt here and there and roads are blocked by anti-riot police. Dohha is a costume designer, but is unable to fulfill her dreams. Her designs always fall short of her expectations. Married to a leading member of the authoritarian ruling party she has come to hate her husband, shun all politics but finds herself unable to move forward to a more positive stand. Travelling to Italy to participate in an annual fashion show in Milan she meets a leading member of the opposition sitting next to her on the plane, Dr. Ashraf El-Zeini. Her life, henceforth, seems bound to another course. On returning home she now finds herself abe to move to a more active role in her life and in the affairs of her country. After taking part in a huge public demonstration against the government, she is , for the first time of her life, detained by the police. She now knows who she is and what it is she wants: freedom for herself from her husband and freedom for her country the regime. The revolution opens the way for her relationship with Ashraf to reach fulfillment. Ayman, on the other hand, is a young man in search of his mother who--he learns by accident--has not died while he was a child as he was led to believe. The search for his mother becomes his means to self-realization and runs parallel to what is happening around him with the demonstrations in the streets. Dohha and Ayman along with the other characters of the novel, whose paths cross on several occasions, all meet in the huge revolution that erupts in Tahrir Square at the end of the novel bringing down the government and opening the way to freedom for Egypt and for the characters of the novel. Written in 2010, “Wings of the Butterfly” foretells the events of Tahrir Square. Since its First publication last December it has enjoyed great acclaim by the critics. Its lucid narrative and quick-paced plot, together with its success in reflecting and encapsulating an important and critical turning point in the modern history of Egypt, have made it a best-seller. It is now in its third edition and is soon to appear as a motion picture.
This is the story of the grim city of Cairo, inside its famous neighbourhoods, its noisy, busy streets, and the swearing we hear in the streets: a city that hates itself and its people equally. But it is also the story of the people of Cairo and their relationship with the places they visit and live in. Ashour is employed at a barber’s shop in the upscale neighbourhood of Zamalek. He thinks he will be one of ‘them,’ only to find himself considered an outcast by everyone: the residents of the neighbourhood, the poor, and even the government itself. He seems to be crushed by everyone in the city, but he does not resent anyone and chooses to give them the benefit of doubt. Through Ashour, the author takes us on journeys inside the smallest and poorest neighbourhoods of Cairo. We walk in slums where injustice is seen with the naked eye, against the women and the vulnerable. The government, in turn, has turned a blind eye and let the moneyed classes form their own gated communities, far away from the slums, a dystopian scene that only helps widen the gaps in society.

On records, the evolution of human development pays a considerable tribute to the relentless efforts made by generations of teacher educators set out to train academic leaders and teachers committed to the implementation of educational policies parallel to the mental edification of young students. Teacher educators, faced the challenges, overcame the obstacles, and refined the pedagogies of our educational system with many innovative approaches. As the world faces increasing uncertainties and adamant shifts of knowledge economy, it is apparent that education plays an ultimate role in creating adept and geared up citizens, to lead the way to the future. Designing and managing learning school organizations that can sustain a competitive advantage in this fast-changing environment demands transformative leaders primed and ready to the building or our intellectual capital for the future. Many books on teacher education, educational management and leadership have been written in the past, but most of them do not keep up with the fast-changing educational scene and only a few include future scenarios. This book presents the anticipated trends and demands of the new knowledge economy, and it aims to achieve its goals with the use of various tools, generative and collaborative efforts, increasing leadership capability in dynamic and complex contexts, enculturation of cutting edge knowledge for educational advancement and creation of teams that focus learning organizations. This book brings together prominent and leading teacher educators and researchers from around the world to present their scholarship, theories and practice, case studies, state-of-the- art approaches and upshot predictions. This book embodies collective knowledge inquiry and represents professional conversations. The chapters provides information on recent trends and development in teacher education, the important role of educational management and leadership in educational transformations and promising practices for desired outcomes. The book is a critical and specialized resource that describes how transformative leadership can play an important role in achieving excellence in education. The topics covered are: Educational Leadership and Effective Teaching, Research in Transformational Leadership, and Professional Development and Social Capital Building in Schools. Truly, world-class schools are still a relative rarity. The words of introduction to this volume pose a puzzle in search of a solution. If the link is to be found between leadership and learning then it will require some radical rethinking of those two big ideas and what it means for schools in the 21st century. That is what this impressive collection of chapters, and leading edge thinkers, achieves. John MacBeathProfessor EmeritusChair of Educational LeadershipDirector of Leadership for Learning: the Cambridge NetworkUniversity of Cambridge, United Kingdom This is a comprehensive gathering of contemporary international research on educational leadership written by an impressive range of educational researchers. It should be a required text on postgraduate education leadership and management courses. Christopher WinchProfessor of Educational Philosophy and PolicyHead of Department of Education and Professional StudiesKing’s College, London, United Kingdom This book is an outstanding and timely collection of chapters written by respected researchers on leadership and education. It should be a required reading for all teachers, aspiring teachers, and academic leaders concerned about education in schools. ? Gautam Sen? Associate Dean of Research & Facilities?

Sustainable livelihood security of resource poor farmers is the top priority for the nation today. However, there is wide gap in productivity of various horticultural commodities among different eco-regions, where horticulture can play significant role particularly in arid and semi arid regions, it is far below than the potential productivity. Hence, sustained and steady growth in rural income is critical for positive impact on living standard of various stakeholders. Therefore, an appropriate strategy needs to be devised for such climatically vulnerable regions. The net income of farmers can surely be increased by efficient management of nutrient, water and agri-input, integrated horticulture based farming system, better market price realization, post harvest management and value addition, integration of secondary enterprizes and thereby improving productivity of arid and semi-arid horticultural crops. In this book, several such interventions are given inform of various chapters which will be of immense use improving the productivity and profitability of horticultural commodities.
The dominant discourse in economy has a double danger. In addition to its expression, as all dominant discourses, of the interests of prevailing social powers, excluding intentionally the other insights and alternatives; it presents itself, in this case specifically, as an unquestionable technique scientific discourse; because it is based on disciplined accounts and undoubtable mathematical equations. This exactly what this book aspires to expose. For the dominant economic discourse here and everywhere is an ideological discourse saturated with social prejudices, though its coverage with supposed sacristy of numbers and mathematical equations. Along ten chapters, the book presents an analytical panorama of the Egyptian economy; from the income distribution to the international compactivity, from the investment and formation of new capitalists of favouritism to the distribution of income and wealth, from trade to debts, and from conditions of clerks to the monetary policy. All that comes out of a premise that sees the economic process not as a technical subject only for experts, but as a subject of social conflict where property patterns are linked to the patterns of distributing profits and wealth, where policies are laid out of interests, and where alternatives are offered as an expression of ambitions to change not only policies, but the structures of property and the patterns of administration.

Diana’s World is a children's book (8-12 years old) that tells the story of Diana, a little girl curious to learn more about the world around her. She is always with her dog Alice, a small, playful white poodle who loves to hunt mice. The two friends are helped by the story's narrator, who will allow them to enter new worlds inspired by art history. From the Italian Renaissance to Song China and 18th century Japan, they will discover things they never imagined… at their own risk. Each scene in the book is inspired by paintings and objects that actually exist.Ukiyo-e for Japan, meditative landscape paintings for China… To construct the images, the authors, who are also art historians, have worked with recent scientific research to give them a sensitive form. They have sought to translate the visual experience of each culture into each of the worlds Diana discovers. This book will be published in Brazil in December. It's the first of a series. We also created a multi language website for it, an instagram page, stickers and much more will soon be released.
In the early 20th century, the Russian geneticist Nikolaj Vavilov travelled halfway round the world and studied methods to produce new varieties of plants which would yield more and be adapted to the different climates in the Soviet Union. In a veritable on-the-road story which goes back over some of the stages of Vavilov’s journey, Marco Boscolo and Elisabetta Tola introduce us to the ‘guardians’ of agricultural biodiversity who have learned his lesson: researchers, farmers and new artisans who are innovating farming by recovering local varieties and seeds that risk disappearing, replaced by industrial products that are the same all over the world but not very adapted to meeting the effects of climate change. There is no trace of nostalgia in this journey, but a new idea of innovation fuelled by a global network – Senegal, Ethiopia, Iran, Indonesia, France, United States and Italy – which is offering models of production and different supply chains to guarantee, following in Vavilov’s footsteps, that despite the climate upheavals that we will have to face, nobody must suffer hunger.

Vergewaltigung als Waffe im Krieg! Jadranka Cigelj, bosnische Kroatin, Rechtsanwältin, Politikerin und Menschenrechtsaktivistin, wurde am 14. Juni 1992 zwei Monate im Konzentrationslager Omarska eingekerkert, dem berüchtigten von Serben errichteten Lager im bosnischen Krieg. Der Raum im KZ Omarska, in dem sie mit siebzehn weiteren Frauen gefangen gehalten und gefoltert wurde, war „Appartement 102“. Schonungslos offen schildert sie das tägliche Überleben in einer entmenschlichten Wirklichkeit, in der Folter, Vergewaltigung und das Töten mit Messern und Fäusten zum Alltag gehörten, ausgeführt von Menschen, die sie bis dahin als Nachbarn, Kollegen und Freunde kannte. Ungefähr 3000 Männer, meist bosnische Muslime, wurden in Omarska ermordet, dessen Kommandant, Željko Mejakić, wegen Kriegsverbrechen vor dem Tribunal in Den Haag angeklagt ist. Frau Cigelj war eine von 37 gefangenen Frauen in Omarska, fünf von ihnen wurden getötet. Sie lebt heute in Zagreb und ist Zeugin der Anklage in diesem Prozess. Zeitzeuginnen
Flower growing, once used to be a gardeners activity has today transformed into an astounding business. In India also, being an integral part of our rich heritage and culture, flower crops have become source of income as highly remunerative crops. Concerted efforts are being made in the country to boost the productivity, quality and export worthiness of several floricultural crops. With the changing trends and constant urge for new innovative products, this is imperative to have information about new potential crops with novel developed varieties and improved production technology. The worldwide interest in floriculture has also forced the agriculture universities and colleges for their perusal on teaching the emerging stream floriculture. Hence, the present book is a result of good compilation of recent advances in floriculture by the author. The publication entitled Flower Crops: Cultivation and Management specifies the practices and problems in growing flower crops along with entire description of crops and potential varieties.
