Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
This book approaches law as a process embedded in transnational personal, religious, communicative and economic relationships that mediate between international, national and local practices, norms and values. It uses the concept "living law" to describe the multiplicity of norms manifest in transnational moral, social or economic practices that transgress the territorial and legal boundaries of the nation-state. Focusing on transnational legal encounters located in family life, diasporic religious institutions and media events in countries like Norway, Sweden, Britain and Scotland, it demonstrates the multiple challenges that accelerated mobility and increased cultural and normative diversity is posing for Northern European law. For in this part of the world, as elsewhere, national law is challenged by a mixture of expanding human rights obligations and unprecedented cultural and normative pluralism enhanced by expanding global communication and market relations. As a consequence, transnationalization of law appears to create homogeneity, fragmentation and ambiguity, expanding space for some actors while silencing others. Through the lens of a variety of important contemporary subjects, the authors thus engage with the nature of power and how it is accommodated, ignored or resisted by various actors when transnational practices encounter national and local law.
Examines the issues facing indigenous peoples and ethnic minorities, including their role in the nation's constitutional and legal developments, and makes a number of recommendations which would satisfy their demands without compromising the sovereignty of the state.

The diversity of interpretation within Islamic legal traditions can be challenging for those working within this field of study. Using a distinctly contextual approach, this book addresses such challenges by combining theoretical perspectives on Islamic law with insight into how local understandings impact on the application of law in Muslim daily life. Engaging with topics as diverse as Islamic constitutionalism, Islamic finance, human rights and internet fatawa, Shaheen Sardar Ali provides an invaluable resource for scholars, students and practitioners alike by exploring exactly what constitutes Islamic law in the contemporary world. Useful examples, case studies, a glossary of terms and the author's personal reflections accompany traditional academic critique, and together offer the reader a unique and discerning discussion of Islamic law in practice.

Okra is considered one of the best vegetable and always fetchs high prices in the market due to its taste and edible constituents. But it is susceptible to various fungal diseases such as Fusarium solani, Macrophomina phaseolina, Rhizoctonia bataticola, R. solani, Pythium butleri, Phytophthora palmivora, Cercospora abelmoschii and Erysiphe cichoracearum. Okra root rot is caused by the fungus Fusarium solani (Mart) Sacc. According to reports the root rot is one of the most destructive diseases. Its incidence ranged between 10-80%, with a maximum (55-80%) in the crop grown on small scale as kitchen /home gardening and minimum (10-45%) in the crop sown on large scale under field conditions. The book in hand can furnish valuable information on varieties Vs. sowing geometry and can be usual for researchers, vegetable growers and agriculturist.
This book, from the series Primary Sources: Historical Books of the World (Asia and Far East Collection), represents an important historical artifact on Asian history and culture. Its contents come from the legions of academic literature and research on the subject produced over the last several hundred years. Covered within is a discussion drawn from many areas of study and research on the subject. From analyses of the varied geography that encompasses the Asian continent to significant time periods spanning centuries, the book was made in an effort to preserve the work of previous generations.
The industrial development and increasing demand of more food production is resulting the contamination of soil especially in developed countries of the world. Heavy metals soil contamination is one of them which not only affecting crop production adversely but also deteriorating other parameters of the environment. Such soils need remediation so as to bring them under cultivation and control further spreading of contaminants in the environment. Traditional soil remediation techniques are engineering based which are not only expensive but also destroy soil fertility. Phytoextraction, one of the phytoremediation approaches, is an economical and environment friendly technique for remediation of contaminated soils. Rapeseed was evaluated for the extraction of cadmium and zinc from contaminated soil and some amendments were also applied so at to investigate them for their effects on bioavailability of these contaminants. Ammonium sulfate fertilizer resulted high extraction efficiency by rapeseed for both heavy metals. However field application is needed so as to make phytoextraction with rapeseed applicable for farmers.
Pakistan's domestic edible oil production doesn't meet the need of the country. Annually about $1.5 billion is spent on its import to meet the demand. In this way, edible oil stood at the top in the import of food group and on number second after petroleum group in the total import. This huge drain on our hard-earned foreign exchange resources is a great challenge for our planners, agricultural scientists and extension workers. Any attempt to help in amelioration of this worsening situation is the need of the day. Among existing oilseed crops rapeseed/mustard and sunflower have assumed special position in the agriculture economy of Pakistan. Much of the research efforts have been directed towards the improvement of these oilseed crops. The book in hand can furnish baseline information and is highly recommended for every agricultural library.

Pakistan is an agricultural country still spending millions of dollars on the import of edible oil, which is a major drain on the foreign exchange reserves of the country. The indigenous oil production of the country could not match the growing demand of population. The domestic edible production only meet about 25% of the requirement and has grown @ 2.6% annually over last 20 years, while consumption has increased at 9%. Among different oilseed crops rapeseed and mustards contribute 21% towards national oil production but the quality of oil is low due to presence undesirable fatty acids i.e., erucic acid and glucosinolates. This book primarily focuses on the genotypic evaluation of advanced lines of Rapeseed. Twelve genotypes Hyola-308, Bullet, PB-4, ZII-98, Altex, Oscar, Dunkeld, Siren, PC-89, Altex x Shirallee, Altex x Candle and Altex x PC-89 were studied. This comprehensive and profusely illustrated book will be highly valuable for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Agriculture and researchers involved in the plant breeding & genetics. Therefore, this book should be available in each library.
