Book Description
What are Canada’s various links with international development and globalization? They extend beyond foreign aid to diplomacy, trade, finance, aid, immigration, military intervention (both peacekeeping and combat roles), membership in a variety of international organizations, relations with indigenous peoples, and people-to-people links. This multi-disciplinary and multi-author textbook, designed for first- or second-year students, introduces the main concepts, theories, and perspectives that have shaped Canada’s interactions with developing countries in a globalizing world. It starts by considering Canada as a case study in international development and globalization. It examines Canada’s diplomatic, economic, military, social, immigration and aid policies, how they have changed over time and how they have interacted with each other and with Canada’s treatment of Indigenous peoples. The book presents economic, political, and cultural dimensions of the process of globalization and the ways they affect Canada; examines the public institutions, private sector and civil society organizations in Canada; and explores the moral imperatives behind Canadian international policy. Finally, it examines current issues, including Canada’s promotion of human rights, democracy, good governance, support to the private sector, and relations with fragile and conflict-affected states and the emerging economies.

Book Description
In contemporary Western culture, the word "fetus" introduces either a political subject or a literal, medicalized entity. Neither of these frameworks does justice to the vast array of religious literature and oral traditions from cultures around the world in which the fetus emerges as a powerful symbol or metaphor. This volume presents essays that explore the depiction of the fetus in the world's major religious traditions, finding some striking commonalities as well as intriguing differences. Among the themes that emerge is the tendency to conceive of the fetus as somehow independent of the mother's body — as in the case of the Buddha, who is described as inhabiting a palace while gestating in the womb. On the other hand, the fetus can also symbolically represent profound human needs and emotions, such as the universal experience of vulnerability. The authors note how the advent of the fetal sonogram has transformed how people everywhere imagine the unborn today, giving rise to a narrow range of decidedly literal questions about personhood, gender, and disability.

Book Description
The Hindu Religious Texts are those eternal beacons that have been illuminating the universe with their unreachable, eternal, and ever-relevant light since its inception. Its light contains that element of immortality that has nurtured and nourished the very root of the Sanatana Dharma. It is a unique gift from India to the world for its eternal welfare. There are believed to be ten Upanishads: Isha, Kena, Katha, Prashna, Mundaka, Mandookya, Taittareeya, Eitareiya, Chandogya, and Brihadaaranyaka. The Hindu Religious Texts have their etymological significance. Even the word “Upanishad” has a variety of meanings. This word is formed in Sanskrit by joining two words: Upa (meaning close or quite near) and Nishada (meaning listening). It appears the Veda knowledge was originally explained and interpreted by the wise seers, and their disciples used to sit near them to listen to their discourses. Subsequently, they must have come to be collected and produced in the tome’s or book’s form. So they got another meaning, which means a book. But, like the Vedas, their accepted broad meaning is knowledge, profound. Since the Upanishads convey the ‘last word’ or the ultimate teachings of the Vedas, they are also called the “Vedanta”. The quest for truth is the common feature of all the Upanishads, which makes their relevance eternal. The Hindu Religious Texts also reflect the ideal examples of the Guru-Shishya Parampara, wherein knowledge maintains its perennial flow from the mentor to the disciple. Given in the form of a question-answer format, they reveal most of these mysteries of creation in a most natural, logical manner, using a variety of similes and metaphors, symbols and allusions to explain the relationship between the soul and the Lord Supreme or Brahman with a telling effect. As a matter of fact, in the absence of the Upanishads, perhaps we might not have realized the true meaning of the Veda teachings. This e-book contains educative, entertaining, and enlightening stories that not only guide us on to the righteous path but also quell the unrighteous tendencies inherent in us. It is hoped that these fairy tales will not only make us spiritually richer but also morally and socially better people. Although most of the stories owe their origin to the Upanishads. Some of them have been culled from other sources as well. The idea is to reveal that element through these small stories, which are fundamental to our Indian culture and ethos. The Upanishads are called “spiritual knowledge” as they convey the essence of the Veda teachings.
