Pankhuria in Hindi means feathers of a bird or a butterfly. I chose
the name for the varied topics of my poems similar to picking
specific feathers and flower petals and putting them together to
give the name Pankhuria for my book. My original poems were
published in my native language Hindi. I have now translated them
into English to have a wider appeal to a larger number of readers.
I have tried to express my feelings in simple poems. My sentiments
are expressed in different topics encompassing love, betrayal,
hurt, terrorism, Aids, domestic abuse, Tsunami, birth, death,
euthanasia, beauty, nature, seasons and many more. When I was
writing these poems I had in mind to flavor them with a background
of culture from India. And then I realize the truth that the core
emotions are the same in all the cultures even though the ways are
different. Poetry becomes a powerful art form to reveal them. I
have tried to do just that.
This handbook provides detailed philosophical analysis of the life
and thought of Socrates across fifteen in-depth chapters. Each
chapter engages with a central aspect of the rich tradition of
Socratic studies and, after surveying the state of scholarship,
points the way forward to new directions of interpretation. A
leading team of scholars present dynamic readings of Socrates,
extracted from the historical context of Plato’s dialogues,
covering elenchus, irony, ignorance, definitions, pedagogy,
friendship, politics and the daemon. Building on these core
Socratic topics, this edition includes new accounts of Socrates in
the work of philosopher and historian, Xenophon, the comic
playwright, Aristophanes, as well as important scholarship on
topics such as emotions, the afterlife, motivational
intellectualism and virtue intellectualism. Fully revised and
updated, the Bloomsbury Handbook of Socrates elucidates the complex
landscape of Socratic thought and interpretation.
This book aims to cover the multitude of corporate approaches
towards mainstreaming biodiversity conservation and ecological
management in policies and action plans, and explores the roles of
these efforts in achieving national and global targets for the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The book addresses various
aspects of corporate actions such as corporate environmental
responsibility, green businesses, market-based approaches to
biodiversity conservation, and biodiversity trade-offs, and
includes concept papers, reviews, and case studies presenting
qualitative and quantitative research. Additionally, the text
compares and assesses examples of positive and negative impacts of
corporate involvement in biodiversity conservation in developed and
developing countries to identify innovative approaches, and the
best practices and models that can be replicated in diverse
environmental conditions. The studies included in the book will
help those working in the field of corporate involvement in
biodiversity conservation, and outline the strengths and weaknesses
of the approaches which will be useful for designing new
environmental management action plans in the face of climate
change. The book will also be of great value to researchers,
academicians, policy makers, civil society groups, policy think
tanks, and conservation managers.
In the face of rapid industrialisation in the last few decades, the
tourism economy has blossomed into a major industry with positive
impacts such as economic growth, infrastructure development,
employment, and income generation. However, tourism brings negative
environmental effects such as degradation of landscapes and
habitats, increased vulnerability of avifauna and wildlife, and
pollution leading to the decline of species. Environmental Impacts
of Tourism in Developing Nations is a pivotal reference source that
explores some of the critical challenges faced in the tourism
economy particularly with regard to the impacts on the environment
in developing nations. It also explores the impact tourism plays in
the biophysical environment such as the issue of climate change.
While highlighting topics such as environmental justice,
ecosystems, and ecotourism, this book is ideally designed for
academicians, policymakers, environmentalists, tourism
professionals, and graduate-level students seeking current research
on the environmental and economic impacts of tourism.

Semiconductor nanocrystals are described as a state of matter that
are intermediate between individual molecule and bulk.The small
size and high optical activity of certain doped nanoparticles make
them interesting for applications in optoelectronics, catalysis and
fluorescence microscopy. In nonmaterial extremely high surface to
volume ratio is obtained leading to an increase in surface specific
active sites for chemical reactions and photon absorption to
enhance the reaction and absorption efficiency. Blue-shift in the
optical absorption, PL spectrum etc. is affected by the particle
size. The incorporation of transition metal ions into nanocrystals
induces radiative recombination of excited electron-hole pair,
which shifts photoluminescence wavelength and increases quantum
efficiency. This book provides information on the XRD, SEM, TEM,
FTIR, optical absorption, PL spectra, their mechanism, theories and
experimental detail of ZnS nanoparticles doped with Mn. A very cost
effective chemical route method to synthesize the nanoparticles is
explained.This book is very useful for those research scholars and
post graduate students who want to work on optical properties of
nanoparti
