This book addresses the consequences of high agricultural pesticide use over the last few decades in the form of organophosphate poisoning. The authors provide a background overview of organophosphate compounds, their environmental toxicity, non-target exposures and cases of human poisoning. The authors also compile and analyze data from the last two decades to demonstrate the toxicological aspects of organophosphates, and how they can pose a threat to human health. Readers will learn about the clinical manifestation of organophosphate exposure in humans, as well as the enzymatic pathways and mechanisms by which organophosphates are processed in the body and cause harm. The book concludes by providing techniques, practices and recommendations for how to manage organophosphate exposure and poisoning. It will be useful for clinicians and public health professionals, scientists, medical practitioners, researchers and environmental toxicologists.

This back to back murder spree by a serial killer called Vijay Palande has been chronicled in this book.

Why do some companies last and continue to create value for their stakeholders, while others perish? The strength and longevity of a building rests on the integrity and alignment of each of its elements (steel, concrete, etc.) Those elements of an organisation are its people. Human capital, is a very heterogeneous resource; each individual is a very distinct entity. All these entities, when they come to work, they bring along their unique qualities and aspirations; the other side of the equation is the expectations of stakeholders, or needs of the business. The organisation’s (and its principals’) ability to skilfully navigate these diverging interests sets the foundation for growth and value creation. The root cause of disconnect among the workforce is the ‘I am right, and you think you are wrong’ framework that influences our strategic and tactical engagement. But this framework ignores and undermines the ‘real truth’ that leads to an unhealthy work atmosphere, which is detrimental for organisational growth and sustainability. This book highlights how an atmosphere of confrontations and infighting depresses output and productivity and, in extreme cases, causes companies to perish. The challenges of a modern-day HR manager have been compounded manifold in recent years. This is influenced by the emergence of digitization, outsourcing, and work from home setup in the aftermath of the pandemic.

In an easy to read, unpretentious manner, Anuj invites you to assimilate this profound Asian concept. It has the power to leave you altered as it did many intellectuals, royals and explorers for centuries. You will wonder why you took so long. “I read Millennium City Hermit as a story and ended up with an actionable understanding of the concept of Trigunas.”- Ranjan Malik, Innovation Specialist
Based on empirical research, this book shows how public interest litigation (PIL) grants the appellate courts enormous flexibility in procedure, allowing them to manoeuvre themselves into positions of overweening authority. While PIL cases are usually politically analysed solely in terms of their effects, whether beneficial or disastrous, this book locates the political challenges that PIL poses in its very process, arguing that its fundamentally protean nature stems from its mimicry of ideas of popular justice. It examines PIL as part of a larger trend towards legal informalism in post-Emergency India. Casting a critical eye over these institutional reforms that aimed to adapt the colonial legal inheritance to 'Indian realities', this book looks at the challenges posed by self-consciously culturalist juridical innovations like PIL to ideas of fairness in adjudication, as well as democratic politics.
The separate state of Jharkhand was a dream of all. A layout had been made of how it would be. How did this come about? Who made the sacrifices? Where were the people tortured? How many lost their lives? The reason for this book to be written was to document the sacrifices of these people who created Jharkhand. It is a tribute to keep alive their memory and contribution. The book deals with stories of these unsung heroes in six sections. The first highlights the tragedy of those killed by the police. Also those who were caught in cross-firing. The second section comprises stories of revolutionaries who became victims of the mafia and thugs. The third section throws light on the role played by the non-tribal revolutionaries. In the fourth section, the stories are dedicated to the role of women in the Jharkhand Movement. The fifth section discusses about the Role of All Jharkhand Student Union (AJSU). The sixth section brings forth the plight of those who died due to lack of treatment, of natural causes or in accidents. They, however, played a major role in the Movement. It also mentions those who are living and carrying on the good work.
This book provides, for the very first time, a critical edition and an English translation (accompanied by critical notes and technical analyses) of the chapter on spheres (golādhyāya) from Nityānanda’s Sarvasiddhāntarāja, a Sanskrit astronomical text written in seventeenth-century Mughal India. Readers will learn how terrestrial and celestial phenomena were understood by early modern Sanskrit astronomers using spherical geometry. The technical discussions in this book, supported by the critically edited Sanskrit text and geometric diagrams, offer an opportunity for historians of the astral sciences to understand developments in astronomy in seventeenth-century Mughal India from a more nuanced perspective. These are supplemented through explorations of modernity, mathematics, and mythology and how they thrived within Sanskrit astronomical discourse at the courts of the Mughal emperors. This book will be of interest to historians and philosophers of science, in particular those interested in the history of non-Western astral sciences. The book will be a valuable resource for scholars studying the general history of Sanskrit astronomy in the Indian subcontinent as well as those interested in the technical aspects of Sanskrit and Indo-Persian astronomy in Mughal India.
