Book Description
India and China Ð the inheritors of two ancient civilizations and aeons of neighbourly bonds cemented by Buddhism and the bridge-building missions of Fa-Hien, Huen Tsang, Tagore and Kotnis Ð never witnessed strife between themselves till the fateful autumn of 1962, when they fought a short but bitter border war on the desolate heights of the Himalayas. Mutual suspicion and sporadic face-offs have ever since bedevilled relations between the two Asian giants, based on their still-unsettled borders. What caused the tragic estrangement of AsiaÕs leading lights? In this cogent and comprehensive analysis, the author traces the origins of the discord to a legacy flawed by the flip-flops of imperial BritainÕs unilateral border delineation, and the ebbs and flows of Chinese activism in Tibet. The gripping narrative carries us from the post-1947 scenario of initial Panchsheel bonhomie, yielding place to mutual distrust, aggravated, among other causes, by Chinese paranoia over Tibet and the unrelenting pressure of Indian public opinion. IndiaÕs cataclysmic defeat in the war, which remains a young nationÕs humiliation, is attributed to the ill-advised Ôforward policyÕ and failure of the politico-military leadership of the time, revalidating ClemenceauÕs adage, that Ôwar is too important a matter to be left to generalsÕ.

Book Description
How are some managers able to accomplish their task with ease and elan, while others fall behind? Ramayana, renowned as one of the two great epics of our land, is widely considered a holy book as it depicts the life of Lord Rama. However, a careful reading of this work also brings out the greatness of Lord Rama as a leader, who rose above self-actualization and attained self-transcendence. This epic also tells us the stories of many others such as Bharata, Lakshmana, Hanuman, Vibhishana, Jatayu, Sampati and various female characters including Sita, Mandodari, Taara etc. Each one of them has a message to convey, which is useful in tackling challenges and managing difficult situations in the modern world. In addition to conveying important lessons in management, Ramayana also carries a message regarding protection and conservation of the environment, which is of contemporary relevance. The author has skillfully extracted life lessons from the Ramayana that are relevant even today and presented it in an engaging narrative. This book is a must read for individuals aspiring for personal happiness, professional success and environmental sustainability.

Book Description
From apple pie to baklava, cannoli to gulab jamun, sweet treats have universal appeal in countries around the world. This encyclopedia provides a comprehensive look at global dessert culture. Few things represent a culture as well as food. Because sweets are universal foods, they are the perfect basis for a comparative study of the intersection of history, geography, social class, religion, politics, and other key aspects of life. With that in mind, this encyclopedia surveys nearly 100 countries, examining their characteristic sweet treats from an anthropological perspective. It offers historical context on what sweets are popular where and why and emphasizes the cross-cultural insights those sweets present. The reference opens with an overview of general trends in desserts and sweet treats. Entries organized by country and region describe cultural attributes of local desserts, how and when sweets are enjoyed, and any ingredients that are iconic. Several popular desserts are discussed within each entry including information on their history, their importance, and regional/cultural variations on preparation. An appendix of recipes provides instructions on how to make many of the dishes, whether for school projects or general entertaining.
