This is the other side of the story. Before the Second World War, Ann Basu's family of Jewish tailors lived where the BT Tower stands today. At that time of high migration, the women's fashion trade and the new car industry were sweeping into Fitzrovia, Russian and German anarchists argued in its clubs, Indian revolutionaries practised at the shooting range, and popular cafes such as Lyons' transformed the social lives of workers. The Jews of Fitzrovia and Soho saw each other as being on the 'other side' of Oxford Street, and this book reflects Fitzrovia's distinctive 'inbetween-ness' – at the inner edge of central London, but separate from the West End. Putting the spotlight on Fitzrovia's enterprising twentieth-century immigrant workers, this is the history of working-class and outsider voices that have previously been muted.
This book is based on the upper atmosphere of the Antarctica; it is not covering all upper atmospheric activity but gives basic ideas to understand the behavior of the Antarctic upper atmosphere and response during the short and long term variations, based on experimental data. This book describes the basics and History of Antarctica. Importance of Antarctic weather and how it plays a role in changing in global climate, e.g., Radiations, temperature, pressure. Upper Atmospheres of the Antarctic showing the basic structure of the upper atmosphere (ionosphere, Magnetosphere magnetic field lines) that is the main part of the research area and how the sun plays a role in changing space weather and atmospheric parameters. The response of the ionosphere layer, during space weather and its characterization over the High latitude region. This book will help other researchers for their future study on high latitude.
I would like to dedicate this ‘unit-1 Introduction to Education’ in memory of our great Indian Leader, philosopher, great Scientist, India’s pride, Bharat Ratna the Missile Man of India- Dr Abdul Kalam. Despite the range of titles he had earned in his lifetime, the visionary preferred to call himself A Teacher. Abdul Kalam, he is the only president -- who has a lot of love for children and feels that the future of India lies in them. According to Dr APJ Abdul Kalam, the purpose of education is to make good human beings with skill and expertise. He was source of inspirations for thousands of people across the world because of his philosophy and teachings. His ideas and considerations on education and empowering country are outstanding. He said “all of us do not have equal talent. But, all of us have equal opportunity to develop out talent.” He emphasized that education is a pillar of a developed and a powerful country, besides the most important element for growth and prosperity of a nation.
Our book Asymptotic Techniquesfor Use in Statistics was originally planned as an account of asymptotic statistical theory, but by the time we had completed the mathematical preliminaries it seemed best to publish these separately. The present book, although largely self-contained, takes up the original theme and gives a systematic account of some recent developments in asymptotic parametric inference from a likelihood-based perspective. Chapters 1-4 are relatively elementary and provide first a review of key concepts such as likelihood, sufficiency, conditionality, ancillarity, exponential families and transformation models. Then first-order asymptotic theory is set out, followed by a discussion of the need for higher-order theory. This is then developed in some generality in Chapters 5-8. A final chapter deals briefly with some more specialized issues. The discussion emphasizes concepts and techniques rather than precise mathematical verifications with full attention to regularity conditions and, especially in the less technical chapters, draws quite heavily on illustrative examples. Each chapter ends with outline further results and exercises and with bibliographic notes. Many parts of the field discussed in this book are undergoing rapid further development, and in those parts the book therefore in some respects has more the flavour of a progress report than an exposition of a largely completed theory.
A text that stresses the general concepts of the theory of statistics Theoretical Statistics provides a systematic statement of the theory of statistics, emphasizing general concepts rather than mathematical rigor. Chapters 1 through 3 provide an overview of statistics and discuss some of the basic philosophical ideas and problems behind statistical procedures. Chapters 4 and 5 cover hypothesis testing with simple and null hypotheses, respectively. Subsequent chapters discuss non-parametrics, interval estimation, point estimation, asymptotics, Bayesian procedure, and deviation theory. Student familiarity with standard statistical techniques is assumed.
: Agriculture, as a backdrop in India's economy, is critical because to its substantial percentage of job and livelihood generation. In India, agriculture's contribution to GDP is dropping while the number of people involved in agriculture and related activities remains high, creating worries about both land and labour productivity. Throughout history, technological innovations have had a significant impact on agriculture. So far, technological development in Indian agriculture has remained an unfinished undertaking. The influence of new technology varies according on crop and locale. Clearly, the progress made thus far has been limited and symbolic, and much more has to be done to appropriately promote and spread it. A necessary first step in this direction would be to examine the emerging trends and technologies in agricultural advancement, which is precisely the objective of this inquiry. The book provides an interesting narrative of technological advancement in agriculture by analyzing in depth technological method used. Also it gives all the details from emerging technology in advancement of Indian agriculture such as breeding methods and seed farming technologies in agricultural crops, plant cell and tissue culture techniques in crop improvement, remote sensing in agriculture, effects of genetically modified (GM) crops on modern agriculture, nano technology in agriculture, precision farming, emerging technologies for integrated pest management, pioneer methods of fruit production in modern horticulture, modern era remote sensing and GIS in horticulture sector: opportunities and challenges and impact of economic factors on nutritional diet. This book would certainly assume greater significance in creating database for realistic planning and implementation of future technological advancement in agriculture and would help in adding to existing store-house of knowledge concerning latest technology in agriculture and related issues. It would also guide readers in deriving insight in understanding many aspects relevant particularly to technological advancement in Indian agriculture.

On December 28, 1885 the foundation was laid for the establishment of Congress Party in Maharashtra as a means of communication between the British Government and Indian People which soon became a mass movement within a limited period of time. Since then it has been rooted for almost one hundred and twenty five years in India and has seen taking place with so many changes in the development of the party itself. The Congress party has been spread in all territories of India and caused tremendous success in the socio-economic and political development of the country. The work of the party in pre and post- independence period is enlightening. In fact, the history of Congress party is considerably the history of India's freedom movement. If the leaders of the Congress Party are separated from the national leaders, the lack of leadership could be found in Indian history. Therefore the study of Congress Party in Maharashtra is a challenging one.
As one of the most monumental and recognisable landmarks from Zanzibar’s years as a British Protectorate, the distinctive domed building of the Zanzibar Museum (also known as the Beit al-Amani or Peace Memorial Museum) is widely known and familiar to Zanzibaris and visitors alike. Yet the complicated and compelling history behind its construction and collection has been overlooked by historians until now. Drawing on a rich and wide range of hitherto unexplored archival, photographic, architectural and material evidence, this book is the first serious investigation of this remarkable institution. Although the museum was not opened until 1925, this book traces the longer history of colonial display which culminated in the establishment of the Zanzibar Museum. It reveals the complexity of colonial knowledge production in the changing political context of the twentieth century British Empire and explores the broad spectrum of people from diverse communities who shaped its existence as staff, informants, collectors and teachers. Through vivid narratives involving people, objects and exhibits, this book exposes the fractures, contradictions and tensions in creating and maintaining a colonial museum, and casts light on the conflicted character of the ‘colonial mission’ in eastern Africa.
This monograph contains many ideas on the analysis of survival data to present a comprehensive account of the field.

This latest volume in the Foundations & Philosophy of Science & Technology series provides an account of probabilistic functional analysis and shows its applicability in the formulation of the behaviour of discrete media with the inclusion of microstructural effects. Although quantum mechanics have long been recognized as a stochastic theory, the introduction of probabilistic concepts and principles to classical mechanics has in general not been attempted. In this study the author takes the view that the significant field quantities of a discrete medium are random variables or functions of such variables. Hence the probabilistic mechanics of discrete media are based on the mathematical theory of probability and the axiomatics of measure theory.
Are you living the life you thought you always wanted but feel that something is still missing? Do you think you should be happier than you are, considering all that you have? Have you achieved your professional or personal goals but still feel racked with insecurities, anxiety, or depression . . . and can't figure out why? Psychiatrist Anna Yusim knows just how you feel. Not only has she struggled with these feelings herself, but she has also worked with patients upon patients who have expressed the same bewildering concern: they have everything they've always wanted, and yet deep down they don't feel fulfilled. Determined to help herself and her patients, Dr. Yusim spent more than fifteen years studying and conducting research and came to a startling conclusion: this lingering feeling of dissatisfaction coincides with spiritual neglect. Once she helped her patients address their spiritual and psychological needs, she saw radical improvements in their happiness levels and quality of life. Now science is catching up with her innovative approach to therapy as groundbreaking medical research and studies substantiate what Dr. Yusim and many others have suspected for years: spirituality is a powerful path to healing. Drawing from the best in Western medicine, as well as teachings from Kabbalah, Buddhism, and shamanistic traditions, Dr. Yusim has developed a program that marries empirical science and spirituality to help you: Discover your life's true purpose Eliminate self-defeating patterns and roadblocks that are keeping you from living your most authentic life Understand the scientific underpinnings behind "answered prayers" and "random coincidences"-and why having faith in them can change your outlook for the better Appreciate how consciousness shapes your reality and how to harness this understanding to live a life of abundance. Filled with exercises, guided meditations, fascinating scientific research, and inspiring success stories, Fulfilled integrates the best of Western medicine with universal spiritual principles to help you find more meaning, more joy, and more fulfillment in your life.

Taking up a little-known story of education, schooling, and missionary endeavor, Helen May, Baljit Kaur, and Larry Prochner focus on the experiences of very young ‘native’ children in three British colonies. In missionary settlements across the northern part of the North Island of New Zealand, Upper Canada, and British-controlled India, experimental British ventures for placing young children of the poor in infant schools were simultaneously transported to and adopted for all three colonies. From the 1820s to the 1850s, this transplantation of Britain’s infant schools to its distant colonies was deemed a radical and enlightened tool that was meant to hasten the conversion of 'heathen' peoples by missionaries to Christianity and to European modes of civilization. The intertwined legacies of European exploration, enlightenment ideals, education, and empire building, the authors argue, provided a springboard for British colonial and missionary activity across the globe during the nineteenth century. Informed by archival research and focused on the shared as well as unique aspects of the infant schools’ colonial experience, Empire, Education, and Indigenous Childhoods illuminates both the pervasiveness of missionary education and the diverse contexts in which its attendant ideals were applied.
