This timely study surveys the conflict in Afghanistan from
Pakistan's point of view and analyzes the roots of Pakistan's
ambiguous policy--supporting the United States on one hand and
showing empathy for the Afghan Taliban on the other. The author, a
former foreign secretary of Pakistan, considers a broad range of
events and interweaves his own experiences and perspectives into
the larger narrative of the Afghanistan-Pakistan relationship.
Beginning with the 1989 departure of Soviet troops--and
especially since the 2001 NATO invasion--Riaz Mohammad Khan
examines the development of Afghanistan and surveys the interests
of external powers both there and in Pakistan. He discusses the
rise of extremism and religious militancy in Pakistan and its links
with ongoing conflicts in Afghanistan. Ultimately, Khan argues,
Pakistan reveals a deep confusion in its public discourse on issues
of modernity and the challenges the country faces, an intellectual
crisis that Pakistan must address to secure the country's survival,
progress, and constructive role in the region.
Water covers about two-thirds of the surface of earth, but only
0.627 percent of this water is the sweet surface and subsurface
water available for the survival of freshwater organisms including
man (1,2). Some of this fresh or sweet water lies in practically
uninhabitable regions (rivers: }1ackenzie in Canada; Amazon in
Central America; Ob, Yenesey, and Lenta in Siberia, etc.). Also,
most of the major rivers (the Mississippi in U.S.A., the Rhine in
Europe, the Volga in U.S.S.R., the Ganges in India, etc.), because
they flow through agricultural land or urban and industrial areas,
have become highly contaminated with chemicals (3). This leaves us
with shrinking resources of sweet surface water. In the United
States, the dependable supplies of this water are already dwindling
in cities like New York and Los Angeles and states like New Mexico
and Texas (3).

FM radio is not a recent phenomenon in our lives, but this book
points out the linguistic exploitation that is induced by the Radio
Jockey (RJ) in the FM radio channels of Bangladesh. Language, as a
discourse, has its own momentum and dynamics. It changes and causes
change. This book locates the diversity of language used in FM
radio and its effect on the most significant listener - the youth.
The language of FM radio appears as a hybrid language, and apart
from mixing of words it is distinct in its intonation pattern. This
book evaluates the stances of listeners regarding the new trendy
language of RJs and how often this pattern of language creates
impact on listeners. It explores the purposes of code-mixing and
code-switching in "FM radio language" and also evaluates its
consequences. It would let us know whether the language of FM radio
is taken by the listeners as beneficiary or not. Anyone interested
in sociolinguistics especially in code-mixing and code-switching
would find this book useful. This book should communicate with
someone who does not have the theoretical exposure to the
essentials of linguistics. This feature makes this book a worthy
read.

Many ideas have emerged to address the problems of energy and
poverty in poor countries. None of these ideas was sincerely backed
by the developed nations and international financial
institutions.Twoworth quoting examples are appropriate technology
and sustainable development.Ironically appropriate technology is
not much heard now.The rescue of poor countries lies in sustainable
development but sincerity is doubtful again.The basis of choice for
the developing countries highlighted by the author is that they
must choose only those projects which are in tune with their
conditions and environment; choice is restricted to those options
that are least capital intensive and more laborintensive. The local
experts should be able to handle options and raise local innovation
systems. The author has chosen project evaluation as the basic
topic to train experts to enhance their capacity. Production of
electricity via economic disposal of solid waste is highlighted to
solve energy and environmentproblems at the same time. Analyses of
social policies have been included and strategies proposed to
improve capacity of decision makers.
