Manohar Publishers & Distributors, 2005. Softcover. New. The future of India has been the subject of several pressing questions in the recent past particularly after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the demolition of the Babri Masjid and the country`s embarking on an adventurist globalisation-liberalisation programme. What constitutes India? And will it hold together? Today the strains on India are showing. Over-centralisation, communal conflict, Caste rivalries, linguistic and Ethnic assertions-have all taken a toll of the ideals on which modern India is premised. This book addresses itself to the problem of conceptualising and understanding India. It concludes that what constitutes India is republicanism and if practice has subverted the ideal, it is perhaps time to devise another method of actualising the vision. What we may be witnessing is the messy Birth of India`s second Republic and the re-invention of a nation in the Image of its common people. Contents: 1. Concepts and Categories : i.

First edition. Softcover. New. Family Wars takes you behind the scenes on a rollercoaster ride through the ups and downs of some of the biggest family-run companies in the world, showing how family in-fighting has threatened to bring about their downfall. Whether it’s Redstone’s courtroom battles or the feud over Henry Ford’s relucatance to let go of the reins, the book reveals the origins, the extent and the final resolution of some of the most famous family feuds in recent history. Case studies in Family Wars include: • Koch Industries • The Reliance Story • The Gallo Family • Bata Shoe • The Guinness Story • The Pathak Family • The Gucci Family With insight into issues such as boardroom power struggles, family succession battles and the consequences – good and bad – of nepotism, Family Wars offers practical suggestions for how similar problems can be contained and solved. Many of the world’s greatest businesses are family owned - but with this comes the threat of family fighting, sibling rivalries and petty jealousies. Family Wars is the dramatic story of the family feuds and bust-ups that have threatened some of the world’s greatest businesses. Covering families such as Ford, Gucci, McCain, Ambani and Redstone, this book is an astonishing exposé of the way families do business and how arguments can threaten to blow a business apart. More than telling the stories behind some of these dramatic showdowns, Family Wars also provides valuable advice for anyone involved in running a family business.

Very Good+ in Wraps: shows indications of very careful use: very light wear to extremities; the binding shows slight lean, but remains perfectly secure; text clean. Remains close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 12mo. 708pp. Mass Market Paperback. Finely crafted, fluid writing and fully rendered characters lift the third and concluding volume in Marco's Tyrants and Kings series, his epic militaristic fantasy about the warring continents of Nar and Lucel-Lor. In the series' debut novel, The Jackal of Nar (1999), Aramoor heir and reluctant warrior Richius Vantran (aka the Jackal) experienced magic and culture shock in Lucel-Lor. In The Grand Design (a B&N "Best of 2000" selection) the slaughter escalated as Nar's Emperor Biagio struggled for power and the exiled Vantran was drawn into the conflict. Complexities of political intrigue, rivalries and revenge erupt in the newest novel, with the focus on 16-year-old Alazrian Leth, a prince with secret magical powers. In need of allies to oppose gathering enemy armies, Biagio sends the young prince on a mission to find Vantran and ultimately raise a massive militia force. In this richly detailed world, the panoramic ocean battle scenes are particularly vivid. Avoiding cliffhanger climaxes, Marco has wisely injected a feeling of closure so that each book in the series can stand alone. The Jackal of Nar won a Barnes & Noble Reader's Choice award. At his best, Marco can hold his own as a writer with other major fantasists, including Stephen Donaldson and Terry Brooks. The superb series cover art by fantasy artist Doug Beekman is a major plus., Random House: Bantam Spectra, Love & Logic Press. Used - Very Good. Ships from the UK. Former Library book.

New Delhi, India: Speaking Tiger Publishing Pvt. Ltd., 2016. In her powerful, poignant book - one of the best non-fiction works from India in recent years - Anubha Bhonsle examines the tangled and tragic history of Manipur, and of much of India's North East. Through the story of Irom Sharmila - on a protest fast since 2000 - and many others who have fallen victim to violence or despair or stood up to fight for peace and justice, she shows us an entire society ravaged by insurgency and counter insurgency operations, corruption and ethnic rivalries. Drawing upon extensive interviews with personnel of the Indian army and intelligence agencies, politicians and bureaucrats, leaders of insurgent groups, Irom Sharmila and her family and ordinary people across Manipur, Anubha Bhonsle has produced a compelling and necessary book on the North East, the Indian state, identity politics and the enormous human cost of conflict.
