The centrality of the Himalayas as a connecting point or perhaps a
sacred core for the Asian continent and its civilisations has
captivated every explorer and scholar. The Himalaya is the meeting
point of two geotectonic plates, three biogeographical realms, two
ancient civilisations, two different language streams and six
religions. This book is about the determinant factors which are at
work in the Himalayas in the context of what it constitutes in
terms of its spatiality, legends and myths, religious beliefs,
rituals and traditions. The book suggests that there is no single
way for understanding the Himalayas. There are layers of
structures, imposition and superimposition of human history,
religious traits and beliefs that continue to shape the Asian
dynamics. An understanding of the ultimate union of the Himalayas,
its confluences and its bridging role is essential for Asian
balance. This book is a collaborative effort of an internationally
acclaimed linguist, a diplomat-cum-geopolitician and a young
Asianist. It provides countless themes that will be intellectually
stimulating to scholars and students with varied interests. Please
note: This title is co-published with KW Publishers, New Delhi.

This yearbook is a compilation of thematically arranged essays that
critically analyseemerging developments, issues, and perspectives
across different branches of law. Itconsists of research from
scholars around the world with the view that comparativestudy would
initiate dialogue on law and legal cultures across jurisdictions.
The themesvary from jurisprudence of comparative law and its
methodologies to intrinsic detailsof specific laws like memory
laws. The sites of the enquiries in different chapters aredifferent
legal systems, recent judgements, and aspects of human rights in a
comparativeperspective. It comprises seven parts wherein the first
part focuses on general themesof comparative law, the second part
discusses private law through a comparative lens,and the third,
fourth and fifth parts examine aspects of public law with special
focuson constitutional law, human rights and economic laws. The
sixth part engages withcriminal law and the last part of the book
covers recent developments in the field ofcomparative law. This
book intends to trigger a discussion on issues of comparativelaw
from the vantage point of Global South, not only focusing on the
Global North.It examines legal systems of countries from far-east
and sub-continent and presentsinsights on their working. It
encourages readers to gain a nuanced understanding ofthe working of
law, legal systems and legal cultures, adding to existing
deliberationson the constituents of an ideal system of law.

This book explores the dilemmas posed by globalisation in various
aspects of law. It covers diverse themes, ranging from the impact
of different legislative measures, bilateral and regional
agreements in the context of trade, investment and mobility of
labour, to concerns about sustainability, equity, regional balance
and social security in the light of globalisation. Although it
focuses mainly on India and the European Union, the issues raised
and challenges discussed are of a general nature, and as such
relevant in the broader context. The chapters address contemporary
problems in trade, investment and labour mobility, which have
emerged through the complex interaction of market, state policies
and socio-environmental concerns, and are expressed on national and
global platforms in the context of evolving legal system. The book
is a valuable resource for students, researchers and academics
engaged in comparative legal studies, particularly those interested
in studying the interplay of globalisation with various areas and
aspects of law at national as well as international levels. It also
appeals to anyone interested in law and policy studies.

Health of the people is the most important indicator of the
development of a nation. Health is a state of complete physical,
mental and social well being and not merely the absence of disease
or infirmity (as defined by WHO). The state of health of an
individual or population depends upon complex interaction of the
physical, biological, political and social domains. The environment
affects the human health in a big way. People tend to be most
susceptible to illness when physically or mentally stressed.
Stress, energy and immunity form a closely knit network. Through
his experimental findings, the author has brought out this
intricate concept of interdependence of biotic (living) and abiotic
(non-living) factors in an ecosystem, resulting in an impact on
human health, in an explicitly marvelous manner. As a result, a new
word "Biogeogens" has been coined, "bio" for living (biotic) ,
"geo" for non-living (abiotic/geographical/climatic/environment)
and "gens" for the interactive proceeds of the two. The content
included herein is directly concerned with the societal health and
gives a clue to many socio-psycho health problems presently not
handled with care. It also defines a multidimensional approach for
dealing with many psychosomatic and health problems.
This book is useful to prospective interview candidates, providing
them with tips on how to be mentally prepared, how to dress
appropriately, and how to have clarity of thought and speech. The
relevant do's and don'ts of an interview are also discussed in this
book, coupled with mock interviews and anticipated questions that
provide practice to make perfect a real-life interview.
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths and is
the most common cancer among women. Although a number of biomarkers
are being used in clinical practice, significant number cases for
breast cancers are detected late and difficult to treat. Therefore,
new biomarkers are in need to improve diagnosis and the
therapeutics for breast cancer. The emergence of proteomics
technologies has facilitated researcher comprehensive differential
expression analyses of proteins in healthy and cancer individuals.
The most commonly used proteomic techniques in breast cancer
research are 2D-PAGE, SELDI-ToF MS, Protein Arrays, ICAT, iTRAQ and
SILAC. Recent advancement in proteomics has also enabled to study
the intracellular signalling pathways that may underlie the
development of breast cancer. Thus, proteomics could play
significant roles in identification of novel biomarkers and/or drug
targets to improve existing prognosis and diagnosis of breast
cancer. This book covers a selection of advances in the realm of
proteomics and its promise for the discovery of biomarkers and drug
targets, and sample preparation of cell culture and clinical
martial for breast cancer research.
