Fail! And we are stamped for life. Don’t we try and run from failure all our lives? But, ‘spontaneous doing has to go through failures.’ Acknowledging failure is singularly the most difficult thing to do. It takes tremendous courage to come out and say, yes, I failed. Shweta Punj chronicles sixteen such leaders who have celebrated their failure as much as their success. Each story is an anatomy of failure. So whether it was the difference between ‘need’ and ‘want’ that led Abhinav Bindra to miss that winning shot, or whether it was a suicide attempt that pushed Sabyasachi Mukherjee into fully realizing his potential—these stories will prod you to look at failure differently.

1.1 Education - Concept and Nature : Education is the process of facilitating learning, or the acquisition of knowledge, skills, beliefs, and habits. Educational methods include storytelling, discussion, teaching, training, and directed research. Education frequently takes place under the guidance of educators, but learners may also themselves. Education can take place in formal or informal settings and any experience that has a formative effect on the way one thinks, feels, or acts may be considered educational. The methodology of teaching is called pedagogy. Education is commonly divided formally into such stages as preschool or kindergarten, primary school, secondary school and then college, university, or apprenticeship A right to education has been recognized by some governments and the United Nations. In most regions, education is compulsory up to a certain age.
1,3,4-oxadiazole is a well-known heterocyclic compound containing an oxygen atom and two nitrogen atoms in a five-membered ring and widely studied by researchers because of their many important chemical and biological properties. This book gives idea about the synthesis of novel 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives as well as pharmacological importance of 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives. In recent years the number of scientific studies with these compounds has increased considerably. Taking into account the importance of these compounds to both heterocyclic and medicinal chemistry, we have decided to present the main synthesis approaches used for obtaining the heterocyclic nucleus, as well as the broad spectrum of pharmacological activities reported in the literature over the past years.

In fact, agriculture is the backbone of our country in which livestock sector is an integral part of it.
This book discusses the use of the spectrum sharing techniques in cognitive radio technology, in order to address the problem of spectrum scarcity for future wireless communications. The authors describe a cognitive radio medium access control (MAC) protocol, with which throughput maximization has been achieved. The discussion also includes use of this MAC protocol for imperfect sensing scenarios and its effect on the performance of cognitive radio systems. The authors also discuss how energy efficiency has been maximized in this system, by applying a simple algorithm for optimizing the transmit power of the cognitive user. The study about the channel fading in the cognitive user and licensed user and power adaption policy in this scenario under peak transmit power and interference power constraint is also present in this book.

Writing this book is one of the ways of revisiting and reliving my childhood. Education aims at overall development of the child. Education, with its holistic approach, nurtures pupils and makes them compassionate and empathetic as well. Empathy is a quality that is practised more by the children than elders. Being with children made me a better learner. While they were busy learning their specific subjects in a well-organised environment, my mind was engaged in exploring their world enriched with knowledge, creativity, curiosity, and challenges. The quest of how, when, and where never ends in childrens world. Their minds are like open parachutes. Let the children learn their lessons from different streets of the town and then practise those lessons whenever and wherever they are needed. Let the academic lessons be learned in natures lab and demonstrated in handling the mundane challenges of human life. Let non-scholastic lessons of moral science step out of lesson plans, and let skills be demonstrated in various social platforms. Let the complete model of education aim at acknowledging and appreciating the initiatives taken by the children for any act of kindness. A girl unknowingly demonstrating leadership skills, considering it as an act of kindness, brings a paradigm shift in the lives of some children who deserve every bit of happiness but have been missing it. A collaborative effort on one platform and an empathetic attitude make her a role model to be followed.

An interesting study of risk identification related to the recent recession which hit UK in the third quarter of 2008.Recession not only accentuated certain risks already existing in freight transport in the past but also led to the emergence of new ones during and post-recession. This research is thus an attempt to identify and assess the risks faced by freight companies during recession and suggest mitigation strategies to deal with such risks in future. The study reveals that risks related to recession will become more intense in future, however preparedness and tested mitigation strategies can help to lessen or nullify their impact on freight companies.
