NONFICTION BOOK OF 2022 A TELEGRAPH BIG IDEAS BOOK 2022 How we
interpret emotions and act on them has been heavily gendered, as
far back as Ancient Greek and Roman times, and - despite
improvements in societal equality - continues to be today. In
Hysterical, Dr Pragya Agarwal delves into history and science to
determine the truth about our notions of innate differences between
the male and female experience of emotions. She examines the impact
this has on men and women - especially the role it has played in
the subjugation of women throughout history - and imagines how a
future where emotions are ungendered might look.
This book seeks to present the importance of household financial
management using academic research and case studies. Covering all
aspects of household financial management throughout their
lifecycle, each chapter is devoted to a central topic such as
digital payments, equity investments, and retirement planning.In
each chapter, readers are presented with economic concepts and
theories in an accessible way and are shown how they can benefit
from it. For instance, the book examines how different markets
work, including the credit markets, insurance markets and housing
markets. With an understanding of how these markets work, readers
can make a more informed decision with the use of financial
instruments and markets.The book further highlights puzzles in
household finance that examine how households make sub-optimal
decisions. Through evidence-based research, this can be attributed
to different cognitive and behavioral biases, as well as a lack of
financial literacy. With the use of real-life examples, readers
would be exposed to the different mistakes made by households, such
as the credit card debt puzzle and stock market participation
puzzle.By integrating theories and empirical evidence from
economics and finance, this book informs households on what they
should do to avoid common pitfalls in managing their finances.

This book is a guide to endocrine surgery for practising and
trainee endocrinologists. Divided into 45 chapters, the text begins
with an overview of applied embryology, physiology, and surgical
anatomy of the endocrine glands. The next section explains thyroid
function tests and their interpretation. Each of the following
chapters covers the surgical management of a different
thyroid-related disorder. The final sections discuss allied topics
including endocrine radiology, pathology, the role of nuclear
medicine in endocrine surgery, and radiotherapy. Each chapter
concludes with clinical pearls to assist learning. With an
internationally recognised editor and author team, the
comprehensive text is highly illustrated with photographs,
radiographic images, flow charts, and diagrams.
The advancement of information and communication technology has led
to a multi-dimensional impact in the arenas of law, regulation, and
governance. The laws, rules and regulations of the digital domain
remain a challenge with the transformation of technology. The
Constitution of many countries have declared data protection as a
fundamental right. Such a trend is evident not only by the current
reform of data protection law aimed at modernizing the global
regulatory framework but also by the judiciary in landmark
judgments. Furthermore, the legal domain must face many challenges
with the speed of technological innovations due to abject global
latitude, massive scale of content exchange and data collection,
and the relative secrecy issues of internet users. Thus, it is
essential to continue discussions involving policies and law that
regulate and monitor these activities and anticipate new laws that
should be implemented to protect users. This book will focus on the
complex relationships of technology and law, both in terms of
substantive legal responses to legal, social, and ethical issues
arising in connection with growing public engagement with
technology and the procedural impacts and transformative potential
of technology on traditional and emerging forms of dispute
resolution. This book will also provide a broader foundation upon
which academics and professionals in the fields could improve
current security activities and contribute to the protection of the
nation.
This book presents the select proceedings of the 2nd International
Conference on Transportation Infrastructure Projects: Conception to
Execution (TIPCE 2022) at IIT Roorkee and emphasizes the
understanding of transportation infrastructure projects being
conceptualized, designed, and executed so as to bring the desired
development in the focused area. It comprises case studies from the
transportation sector, construction industries, consulting
agencies, and research and academic institutions. These studies
present the bottlenecks experienced during the implementation of
the projects, from their conceptualization to their execution and
the corrective measures that were incorporated to finish the work.
The book will be a valuable reference for beginners, researchers,
and professionals interested in construction planning and
technology, infrastructure engineering, highway engineering,
traffic and transportation planning and systems.
As researchers become increasingly interested in studying the lives
of children in antiquity, this volume argues for the importance of
a collaborative biocultural approach. Contributors draw on fields
including skeletal biology and physiology, archaeology,
sociocultural anthropology, pediatrics, and psychology to show that
a diversity of research methods is the best way to illuminate the
complexities of childhood. Contributors and case studies span the
globe with locations including Egypt, Turkey, Italy, England,
Japan, Peru, Bolivia, Canada, and the United States. Time periods
range from the Neolithic to the Industrial Revolution. Leading
experts in the bioarchaeology of childhood investigate
breastfeeding and weaning trends of the past 10,000 years; mortuary
data from child burials; skeletal trauma and stress events; bone
size, shape, and growth; plasticity; and dietary histories.
Emphasizing a life course approach and developmental perspective,
this volume's interdisciplinary nature marks a paradigm shift in
the way children of the past are studied. It points the way forward
to a better understanding of childhood as a dynamic lived
experience both physically and socially.
The Japanese word, Ikigai means 'reason for being'. Think of what
you love, what you are good at, what you can be paid for, and what
the world needs. When these come together, you get your Ikigai.
However, Ikigai can be beyond these four components and doesn't
have to include any or all of them. The moments each day where you
live fully - engaging in a hobby or pursuit, learning, connecting
with people, being useful, choosing empathy over apathy, and being
in the present - and the small joys that inhabit those moments make
your Ikigai. You can have more than one Ikigai and it can change
with time. You already have your Ikigai and just need to discover
it!The book unveils the life journeys of 25 teens that left India
for the uncharted waters of Singapore in the 1990s and early 2000s.
Each story started with engineering and took the person to one's
calling - dance, filmmaking, entrepreneurship, mountaineering,
philanthropy, research, and even monkhood. Did they find their
Ikigai? Uncover the pages to find out!

The origin of world civilization can be traced to the Indus
Valley cradle, where brilliant and original thinkers made
groundbreaking discoveries. The history of these discoveries is
recorded in the vast Sanskrit literature.
In this study, author M. K. Agarwal explores the cultural and
historical significance of the region. He explores Indus Valley
culture, which encouraged creative thought-as opposed to the
Abrahamic faiths, which herded followers into dogmatic thinking. He
holds that these religions prospered because of their unfettered
hatred of the Vedic-Hindu-Buddhist peoples, who were demonized as
pagans to be murdered, tortured, raped, enslaved, and robbed. He
also considers the achievements of that culture, such as the
creation of the most affluent, most scientifically advanced, and
most spiritual of all societies, with archeological moorings that
can be traced back to 8000 BC.
No other region can even come close to transforming people and
culture like the Indus Valley, but the world's Vedic roots have
been ignored, shunned, and covered up. Uncover the history that has
been lost and develop a deeper appreciation for the true cradle of
human civilization with "The Vedic Core of Human History."
