Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanning thousands of years, a wide-ranging history of Pakistan from the Bronze Age to partition and beyond. This book takes us on a sweeping journey through the ebbs and flows of Pakistan’s history, from the ancient Indus Valley Civilization to contemporary times. Chequered Past, Uncertain Future uncovers influences from Turkey, Persia, Arabia, and Britain that have shaped Pakistan, as well as showcases the region’s diverse and rich tapestry of peoples, and its pluralistic, multicultural society. The book also describes the post-1947 shift—following the partition of India and the establishment of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan—as the country became more religiously conservative and autocratic, intensifying sectarian and ethnic divisions. For most of their history, the people of Pakistan have found themselves under the control of military dictators who suppress civil liberties and freedom of speech and action—a trend that persists today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on extensive research, this insightful book examines the manner in which Indian businesses have responded to change in general and, in particular, to the rapidly changing economic environment. The author demonstrates that there is a clear link between well thought-out strategic business behaviour and good performance. Those firms that behaved more proactively when faced with change have generally fared well by developing new products, adopting cutting-edge technologies, and adapting quickly to the changing market realities. Those that resorted to opportunistic methods, the author argues, may have enjoyed limited success in the short-term but have eventually stagnated. Supported by two detailed case studies, the key features of this important book are that it: - Examines India’s growth trajectory, its huge market and its immense economic potential - Studies behavioural patterns of Indian firms and the Indian business ethos - Eschews a leader-centric approach and focuses instead on a strategy approach to understand Indian business - Explores why some companies fail while others show the ability to meet the challenges posed by radical changes in policy - Identifies key strategies that are used by successful Indian businesses - Establishes the relevance of the main elements of business strategy.

Book excerpt: South Africa's unique history has produced literatures in many languages, in both oral and written forms, reflecting the diversity in the cultural histories and experiences of its people. The Cambridge History offers a comprehensive, multi-authored history of South African literature in all eleven official languages (and more minor ones) of the country, produced by a team of over forty international experts, including contributors from all of the major regions and language groups of South Africa. It will provide a complete portrait of South Africa's literary production, organised as a chronological history from the oral traditions existing before colonial settlement, to the post-apartheid revision of the past. In a field marked by controversy, this volume is more fully representative than any existing account of South Africa's literary history. It will make a unique contribution to Commonwealth, international and postcolonial studies and serve as a definitive reference work for decades to come.

Book excerpt: In spite of years of clinical research and trials of a variety of new and promising therapies, cancer remains as a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Use of ionizing radiation in treatment of cancer quickly followed the discovery of X-rays and radioactivity at the dawn of the last century. The limited success of radiotherapy has been attributed to several factors if which the intrinsic radioresistance of tumor cells, their fast reproduction, and tumor hypoxia are the major causes. Radiation Sensitizers: A Contemporary Audit presents data on newer hypoxic cell sensitizers like senazole and deal with old molecules such as chlorpromazine in a new role of sensitization. Bringing together information scattered throughout published and unpublished literature, the book contains contributions from an international panel that examines new therapies and new uses of old therapies. It contains tables and diagrams that illustrate the concepts and make the information easy to find.
