This book deals with the main doctrines of Marxist politics.
Clearly and simply written, the book explores the views of
classical Marxists along with the findings of Western and
Analytical Marxists. It also shows a distinction between Marxist
and non-Marxist views on politics. Their points of difference as
well as their common roots are thus clearly accounted for. Marxist
politics is a coherent system of ideas and theories of class, class
struggle, party, revolution and the state developed in response to
a series of major and interrelated changes - the emergence of a
capitalist economy, the rise of the modern nation-state and the
development of modern science, which transformed both the society
and politics. This book is intended to explore these ideas and
theories. Particular emphasis has been put on the ideas and views
of critical Marxists in a separate chapter. The book includes brief
bibliographical details of major individual thinkers as well as an
annotated bibliography for further reading. Print edition not for
sale in South Asia (India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan
and Bhutan)

Global business management issues and concerns are complex,
diverse, changing, and often intractable. Industry actors and
policy makers alike rely upon partnerships and alliances for
developing and growing sustainable business organizations and
ventures. As a result, global business leaders must be well-versed
in managing and leading multidimensional human relationships and
business networks - requiring skill and expertise in conducting the
negotiation processes that these entail. After laying out a
foundation justifying the importance of studying negotiation in a
global context, this book will detail conventional and contemporary
theories regarding international engagement, culture, cultural
difference, and cross-cultural interaction, with particular focus
on their influence on negotiation. Building on these elements, the
book will provide a broad array of country-specific chapters, each

in a different country around the world. Finally, the book will
look ahead, with an eye towards identifying and anticipating new
trends and developments in the field of global negotiation. This

business, cross-cultural studies, and conflict management who seek
to understand the challenges of intercultural communication and
negotiation. It will provide trainers and consultants with the
insights they need to prepare their clients for intercultural
negotiation. Finally, the text will appeal to businesspeople who
find themselves heading out to engage with counterparts in another
country, or operating in other multinational environments on a
regular basis.
Synesthesia comes from the Greek "syn" (meaning union) and
"aisthesis" (sensation), literally interpreted as a joining of the
senses. Synesthesia is an involuntary joining in which the real
information from one sense is joined or accompanies a perception in
another. Dr. Cytowic reports extensive research into the physical,
psychological, neural, and familial background of a group of
synesthets. His findings form the first complete picture of the
brain mechanisms that underlie this remarkable perceptual
experience. His research demonstrates that this rare condition is
brain-based and perceptual and not mind-based, as is the case with
memory or imagery. "Synesthesia" offers a unique and detailed study
of a condition which has confounded scientists for more than 200
years.
A hugely warm-hearted, comic tale of close-knit Indian family life
in England, by the author of East is East. The wedding feast is
over and the bridegroom's father is dancing the bhangra, but the

virgin bride remains just that. Six weeks later, the whole family
start to panic. But 'Rafta, rafta...' or 'All in good time'! Based
on Bill Naughton's 1963 play All in Good Time, Ayub Khan Din's play
Rafta, Rafta... was first performed at the National Theatre,
London, in the Lyttelton auditorium in April 2007, directed by
Nicholas Hytner. It won Best New Comedy at the 2008 Olivier Awards.

British comedy adapted by Ayub Khan-Din from his stage comedy
'Rafta, Rafta'. Set in Bolton, the film stars Amara Karan and Reece
Ritchie as young newlyweds Vina and Atul, for whom married life is
proving far from straightforward. What with his interfering parents
(Harish Patel and Meera Syal), the childish pranks of his brother,
nosy neighbours and a community that thrives on gossip, Atul
becomes so woefully inhibited by the whole situation that his
beautiful virgin bride looks set to remain just that, as a
consummation of their union becomes nothing short of an
impossibility.
This collection of plays written and introduced by
actor-turned-writer Ayub Khan Din charts the development of a
writer able to turn the tumultuous experience of life in modern
Britain into satisfying, humane and often richly comic drama.
Whether drawing on his own childhood, growing up in an
Anglo-Pakistani family in Salford, or on E.R. Braithwaite's account
of racial tensions in the East End in To Sir, With Love, he depicts
the struggles of individuals to come to terms with their
conflicting cultural legacies - and he does so with unerring warmth
and compassion. East is East (1996) is an irresistible comedy set
in multiracial Salford in 1970, where the Khan children are
buffeted this way and that by their Pakistani father's insistence
on tradition, their English mother's laissez-faire and their own
wish to be citizens of the modern world. The film adaptation that
followed, with a screenplay by the author, became one of the most
successful British films ever made. The version included here is
the revised text first performed at the Trafalgar Studios in 2014.
The short, elegiac play, Notes on Falling Leaves (2004), is an
emotionally tender depiction of a young man as he loses his mother
to dementia, 'overwhelming in its emotional impact' (Telegraph). In
All the Way Home (2011), a quarrelsome group of siblings gathers at
the family home under the shadow of impending loss. Amidst the cut
and thrust of spiky Salford banter, long-harboured resentments rise
to the surface and family bonds unravel and unwind. To Sir, With
Love (2013), based on E.R. Braithwaite's autobiographical novel, is
the uplifting story of a talented, idealistic young teacher
discovering the reality of life as a black man in Britain after the
Second World War as he struggles to find a way to connect with his
students at a tough but progressive East End school.
Written at a level suitable for senior students of marine
engineering and entry-level marine engineers, this book covers main
propulsion machineries, auxiliaries, and all ship-board systems and
equipments that come under the purview of a marine engineer. The
chapters progress from working principles to construction and
design features to operation and maintenance. A separate chapter
covers inherent hazards in a running engine and the built-in safety
features and fail-safe devices to combat it. Copious line drawings
and composite diagrams demonstrate the concepts and intricacies of
design. An added feature is the section on watch-keeping, since
that is truly a test of skill and competence of a sailing engineer.

The Committee of Neurotraumatology of the World Federation of
Neurosurgical Societies decided to elaborate a Glossary of Neuro-
traumatology, and for this purpose appointed a subgroup of members
of this Committee, headed by Dr. E. S. Gurdjian, whose report
follows this preface. The main reason for the Committee's decision
was the hope that the diffusion of the Glossary through "Acta
Neurochirurgica" may bring about a better understanding of
neurotraumatological terminology on a worldwide scale. The Glossary
should facilitate the classification and the comparison of
traumatic lesions of the Nervous System. It will consequently be
easier to compile statistics and correctly interpret the
informations thus obtained. The very commendable initiative of the
Congress of Neurological Surgeons in revising the terminology of
head injuries and in publishing this work in Vol. 12 (1966) of
"Clinical Neurosurgery" constitutes an important contribution. In
1977 the Glossary now presented endeav- ours to complete and bring
up to date the definitions of anatomical or physiological
modifications in the neurotraumatological field. We wish to express
our thanks to Dr. Gurdjian and to the other members of the
Neurotraumatological Committee who were responsible for the
elaboration of this Glossary and whose efforts to standardise, as
much as possible, the language used by scientists of different
nationalities, have resulted in a better understanding between
neurosurgeons.

In Being Kurdish in a Hostile World, Ayub Nuri writes of growing up
during the Iran-Iraq War, of Saddam Hussein's chemical attack that
killed thousands in Nuri's home town of Halabja, of civil war, of
living in refugee camps, and of years of starvation that followed
the UN's sanctions. The story begins with the historic betrayal by
the French and British that deprived the Kurds of a country of
their own. Nuri recounts living through the 2003 American invasion
and the collapse of Hussein's totalitarian rule, and how, for a
brief period, he felt optimism for the future. Then came bloody
sectarian violence, and recently, the harrowing ascent of ISIS,
which Nuri reported from Mosul.
An uplifting story of the triumph of love, inspiration and hope
against all odds, laced with the song and dance of austere 1940s
Britain. Ricky Braithwaite, an ex-RAF fighter pilot and Cambridge
graduate, arrives in London in 1948. Despite his First Class degree
in electronic engineering he is turned down for job after job in
his chosen profession and discovers the reality of life as a black
man in post-war England. Taking the only job he can get, Ricky
begins his first teaching post, in a tough but progressive East End
school. Supported by an enlightened headmaster, the determined
teacher turns teenage rebelliousness into self-respect, contempt
into consideration and hate into love, and on the way, Ricky
himself learns that he has more in common with his students than he
had realised. Ayub Khan Din's play To Sir, With Love is based on
E.R. Braithwaite's 1959 autobiographical novel of the same name.
The play was first performed at Royal & Derngate, Northampton,
in September 2013, and subsequently toured the UK.
