Decision makers interested in going beyond their own personal and professional interests and involving themselves in humanising their organization, community and society should read Remaking Ourselves, Enterprise and Society. This book is about adherence to human values at an institutional level, and its starting point is the belief that human beings have basic goodness, which in turn is reflected in the desire to be of help to others and to do good. Professor Rao introduces the Indian concept of 'Spandan' (Heartbeat). Spandan is operationalized through a process of diagnosis, discovery and development enabling organizations to achieve an optimal balance between what are defined as transactional, transformational, and terminal human values. This leads to management and organizations developing sensitivity to the needs of others, which they come to understand. When such sensitivity becomes integral to its work ethic and culture, an organization is able to temper its commitment to task with humanity and it becomes functionally humane. Experience suggests, not surprisingly, that organizations that can achieve this optimal balance between results and relations achieve higher employee commitment and productivity and increased accommodative spirit that better equips them to deal with difficult times. This exciting addition to Gower's Transformation and Innovation Series will enlighten business leaders, governmental and non-governmental policy makers, management educators, organization developers, and researchers.

Despite economic growth in countries like the author’s native Nigeria, poverty and unemployment blight the lives of the majority of citizens. In An Integral Approach to Development Economics, Basheer Oshodi examines modernization theories, dependency theories, world system theories and emerging 21st century economic theories. He links a neo-modern mix of economic thought with the practicalities of finance in parts of the World where poverty is rife, focusing on the use of Islamic banking and finance in an African setting. Islamic finance is considered in the context of the triple heritage of indigenous culture, Westernized Christianity, and Islam. The author argues and demonstrates that the principles of Islamic banking and finance can be applied in a way that integrates with other elements of that heritage, and meet the challenges of poverty and unemployment.
Integral spirituality, integral philosophy and the integral age, at an overall or holistic level of consciousness, has become a strong enough idea to form the genesis of a movement over the course of the last half century--and Integral Polity applies this notion to business, economics and enterprise. Using case studies ranging across the globe this review of a newly integral theory and practice provides a new lease on life to what may increasingly be perceived as the self-seeking, insulated and occasionally violent and corrupt realm of the political.
In 2010 Ronnie Lessem and Alexander Schieffer published their seminal work on Integral Research and Innovation, whereby they identified the four R’s: relational and renewal, reason and realization-based research paths that all together encompass the major qualitative research methods and methodologies. Because their transformative PhD programs are focused primarily on the 'Global South', where the vast majority of the world’s population is based, most agents of transformation with whom the authors deal select the relational research path, and the path of renewal, over and above the paths of reason and realization. The focus of Integral Renewal is on these two latter paths, now interconnected with integral enterprise and economics.
Causes of addisions disease include auto immune adrenalitis, Tuberculosis, fungal as well as bacterial infections, hemorrhage, medications as well as steroid withdrawal, genetic factors, adrenal gland surgery and amyloidosis. Symptoms of addisions disease are fatigue, muscle weakness, unintentional weight loss, loss of appetite, skin changes, nausea, vomition, diarrhea, constipation, orthostatic hypotension, dizziness, fainting, intense cravings for salty foods, joint pains, irritability, depression, anxiety, thinning of hair, brittle nails and hypoglycemia. Diagnosis of addisions disease is based on clinical evaluation, laboratory tests such as serum cortisol levels, ACTH stimulation stimulation test, serum aldosterone levels, electrolyte imbalance, imaging studies namely CT scan, MRI scan and additional tests namely anti-adrenal antibodies, renin levels. Differential diagnosis is dependent on adrenal insufficiency causes such as auto immune adrenalitis, tuberculosis of adrenal gland, fungal infections, genetic mutations and other endocrine disorders namely cushings syndrome, excess cortisol production ans excess aldosterone production. Differential diagnosis is related to gastro intestinal disoprders such as gastro enteritis, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) as well as auto immune diseases like systemic lupus ertythematous (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis and infections namely HIV and AIDS. Treatment of addisions disease is linked to hormone replacement therapy namely glucocorticoid replacement, mineraocorticoid replacement as well as medication dosage, stress management, monitoring regular checkups, diet modifications and lifestyle modifications. Finally it is concluded that Addisions disease is a rare but potentially serious condition that influences the adrenal glands, resulting in hormonal imbalances.
Expressing the plight of Blindness, José Saramago quoted- The "white sickness" is a different kind of disease, it disables the infected without killing them. Blindness is a major health problem worldwide. It is a tragic, devastating condition both physically and mentally. Congenital blindness is by fate but acquired blindness due to lack of diagnosis is a mirror to the loophole of medical science. It contributes to the enormous burden of ill health in the developing world, where infectious diseases continue to be the major causes of morbidity and mortality. Corneal diseases are a major cause of blindness worldwide as a “silent epidemic”, second only to cataract in overall importance.1 Ocular trauma and corneal ulceration which are significant causes of corneal blindness, unfortunately underreported. It is estimated that 3-4 million people are blind due to corneal opacity. It is also estimated that 6.5 million people are effected with and 1.3 million new patients become blind due to corneal ulcer annually posing a major health problem for developing countries.2

Six Sigma approach is generally employed to improve the sigma level of manufacturing or service processes by reducing their deviations and defects. Six Sigma provides the opportunity to eliminate mistakes, improve morale and save money. Doing things right in first time and keeping them consistent is the only idea behind Six Sigma. Its fundamental objective is to achieve customer satisfaction with continuous improvement in quality and productivity. Mostly we are emphasizing on various tools or techniques being used during DMAIC projects and almost ignore the procedure to execute different phases of the Six Sigma project. This book provides unique step by step methodologies to perform Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve and Control phases of a Six Sigma project, respectively. An empirical investigation has been carried out in a make-to-order type (medium sized) foundry and Six Sigma is successfully implemented by decreasing the scrap of piston castings, appreciably. The book focuses on scrap reduction specifically in Indian foundries and tries to find out the reasons of low productivity index. It also tends to shatter the various phobias of SMEs in context of Six Sigma by validating the compatibility of proposed methodologies through a successful case study in Indian foundry environments.
Institutional finance is an important pre-requisite for rural development. Institutional credit entered the rural areas a long ago the form of co-operatives and later in the form of commercial banks after their nationalisation in 1969. But these institutions failed to penetrate the rural areas as the benefits of the institutional credit continued to be cornered by the influential and economically and politically powerful sections of the society.
Ethnic specificity has become an integral part of research in the overlapping sciences of pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics. Pharmacogenomics in Admixed Populations was conceived to compile pharmacogenetic/-genomic (PGx) data from peoples of four continents: Africa, America, Asia and Oceania, where admixture and population stratification occurs

From the reviews: "Astronomy and Astrophysics Abstracts has appeared in semi-annual volumes since 1969 and it has already become one of the fundamental publications in the fields of astronomy, astrophysics and neighbouring sciences. It is the most important English-language abstracting journal in the mentioned branches. ...The abstracts are classified under more than a hundred subject categories, thus permitting a quick survey of the whole extended material. The AAA is a valuable and important publication for all students and scientists working in the fields of astronomy and related sciences. As such it represents a necessary ingredient of any astronomical library all over the world." Space Science Reviews#1 "Dividing the whole field plus related subjects into 108 categories, each work is numbered and most are accompanied by brief abstracts. Fairly comprehensive cross-referencing links relevant papers to more than one category, and exhaustive author and subject indices are to be found at the back, making the catalogues easy to use. The series appears to be so complete in its coverage and always less than a year out of date that I shall certainly have to make a little more space on those shelves for future volumes." The Observatory Magazine#2
Religion has played a very important role in India from remotest times. It has moulded the individual life and has greatly influenced the social and cultural life also. In fact in India religion has been an inseparable part of the life of an individual as also of the society as a whole.

Right from the Vedic day's religion has served as the foundation of social and cultural life of the Indian people1. The Chalukyas were a Scythian race, and derived their origin from one of the four classes of Buddhist followers called Chailaka'. They claimed their descent from Manu through Hariti, and were known as Agnikulas, from their devotion to the worship of fire. They were included in the thirty-six races of the Kshattriyas, and belonged to the lunar family.
