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.
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.

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.
This is a reproduction of a book published before 1923. This book

our continuing commitment to the preservation of printed works
worldwide. We appreciate your understanding of the imperfections in
the preservation process, and hope you enjoy this valuable book.
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.
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.
