The present volume makes students and researchers familiar with contemporary issues in global political economy with a focus on the working of global capitalism in the last four to five decades. The volume covers a wide range of issues from conceptual questions to empirical investigation with the aim to promote a critical understanding of the major challenges posed by contemporary capitalism. It contains contributions of leading political economists from India and abroad. The volume will be a significant resource for developing a graduate course in global political economy. This book is co-published with Aakar Books, New Delhi. Taylor & Francis does not sell or distribute the print versions of this book in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

Women's rough sleeping is a major issue across Europe and is especially problematic within the current economic climate. Based on a European Union DAPHNE III-funded project, this important book tells the story of the women and organisations that took part in the study. Revealing a number of truths about women's rough sleeping across Europe, the authors argue that there is little or no specific provision for this vulnerable and hard to reach group. The book focuses on the adoption of effective policy, strategies and services to meet the needs of homeless women, specifically women rough sleepers who are the victims of domestic abuse. It will be a valuable resource for academics and students of criminology, social policy, law, social work and probation, as well as housing/homelessness practitioners, policy makers, local authorities and NGOs.

This book comprises the proceedings of International Conference on Research and Innovations in Mechanical Engineering (ICRIME 2013) organized by Guru Nanak Dev Engineering College, Ludhiana with support from AICTE, TEQIP, DST and PTU, Jalandhar. This international conference served as a premier forum for communication of new advances and research results in the fields of mechanical engineering. The proceedings reflect the conference’s emphasis on strong methodological approaches and focus on applications within the domain of mechanical engineering. The contents of this volume aim to highlight new theoretical and experimental findings in the fields of mechanical engineering and closely related fields, including interdisciplinary fields such as robotics and mechatronics.

Temporomandibular joint of the jaw is a specialized joint which is found on either side of skull and work in unison. In short it is also reffered to as TMJ. The joint derives its name from two bones, temporal bone of cranium and mandible of the lower jaw. A kind of synovial joint having articular disc in between two bones which is fibrocartilagenous in nature. This book deals with basic introduction to joints and its anatomy, histology and development, various classification systems of TMJ, mechanism of how this joint works and various imaging techniques along with TMJ disorders and its management.

MANY OF US value our own religion, but know little and care even less about other religions. To facilitate much needed religious literacy and mutual-understanding, this book succinctly examines the main features of all living religions-how they were formed and what they have become, how they are similar and how they differ, and what we can do to better appreciate and respect religions other than our own.

EACH CHAPTER IS short, informative, and easy-to-read. Together, these chapters provide a good understanding of the basic beliefs of all religions and their main sects. They also provide a valuable perspective on religious unity, diversity, and interaction, setting the stage for open-minded interfaith dialogue and respectful mutual acceptanceof all religions.

The book is a collection of papers presented by the authors at a conference organized by CRRID on 'India and Southern Africa: Forging Ahead Through Partnership', held at Chandigarh in February 2014, in partnership with ICWA. It was a part of a series of conferences organized by ICWA at the initiative of the Ministry of External Affairs on Africa, beyond the confines of Delhi. The Paper presenters are from India, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The contributors represent a good mix of theoreticians and practitioners, comprising the academia, former diplomats turned businessmen, media personalities and professionals involved in Information Technology (IT) - a sector that is emerging as a bridge that binds India with Africa. The book is a window on the growing partnership between India and countries in Southern Africa. How this relationship has moved from the days of freedom struggle in the 1970s to the present day? This growing relationship is viewed in five clusters. The first cluster on 'Experiences, Expectations and Perceptions' sets the tone and parameters, under which the relationship is reviewed. The subsequent four clusters, under subheads - Connecting People, Economic and Commercial Linkages, Cooperation in Agriculture Sector and Knowledge Transfer and Capacity Building - deal with multifaceted subjects, focusing on specific areas.
