Summary

For more than 60 million displaced people around the world, humanitarian aid has become a chronic condition. No Path Home describes its symptoms in detail. Elizabeth Cullen Dunn shows how war creates a deeply damaged world in which the structures that allow people to occupy social roles, constitute economic value, preserve bodily integrity, and engage in meaningful daily practice have been blown apart. After the Georgian war with Russia in 2008, Dunn spent sixteen months immersed in the everyday lives of the 28,000 people placed in thirty-six resettlement camps by official and nongovernmental organizations acting in concert with the Georgian government. She reached the conclusion that the humanitarian condition poses a survival problem that is not only biological but also existential. In No Path Home, she paints a moving picture of the ways in which humanitarianism leaves displaced people in limbo, neither in a state of emergency nor able to act as normal citizens in the country where they reside.

    DESCRIPTION 
    Computers have become an integral part of our education system. Computer Science is now not limited to just teaching definitions and commands. Instead, it helps the learners to understand and appreciate the varied uses of computers and its vast applications.
    Trackpad iPRO (Ver. 4.0) series based on Windows 10 and MS Office 2019 is comprehensively designed as per the new ICSE syllabus. We believe computer education is a hands-on subject and too much of bookish knowledge can take away the pleasure of learning. All these points have been kept in mind while designing this book and to produce the content that is not only appealing but also challenging to the students. 
    
    The topics in the book have been hand picked after extensive research by a team of experts on the subject based on the utility, interest, skill, and basic and trending applications in the global market. We have designed the lessons in such a way that they can be well integrated with other subjects. Step by step approach will make it simple and easy for our students to grasp the concepts. Relevance of the topics was of prime importance throughout the compilation of the book. 
    
    
    Learning is done best when it’s fun-filled and activity-based. To ensure that the content intrigues the students at all times and keeps them interested throughout the course of the book, we have included interesting key features like Student Corner, Tech Funda, Clickipedia, Comp Caution, Reboot, One Touch Learn, Let’s Do It, Crack The Code, Hands-On, Fun In Lab, Teacher’s Corner, Worksheet, Test Sheet, Project, Speech Drill, Supplement Pages and Glossary. 
    
    These features will ensure better learning, assessment, and evaluation and enable children to take their knowledge beyond the classroom. 
    
    Sample questions of Orange Global Olympiad (Cyber) have been included to promote awareness about the national level competition. 
    
    We hope that the book contributes to the progressive development of computer aided education system and prepares our students for all upcoming challenges. We want the children to learn the concepts not only for the purpose of gaining knowledge but also to be able to find their applications. This will enable them to enrich the quality of their lives as well as others’.

    Power in the Wild - The Subtle...

    The quest for power in animals is so much richer, so much more nuanced than who wins what knock-down, drag-out fight. Indeed, power struggles among animals often look more like an opera than a boxing match. Tracing the path to power for over thirty different species on six continents, writer and behavioral ecologist Lee Alan Dugatkin takes us on a journey around the globe, shepherded by leading researchers who have discovered that in everything from hyenas to dolphins, bonobos to field mice, cichlid fish to cuttlefish, copperhead snakes to ravens, and meerkats to mongooses, power revolves around spying, deception, manipulation, forming and breaking up alliances, complex assessments of potential opponents, building social networks, and more. Power pervades every aspect of the social life of animals: what they eat, where they eat, where they live, whom they mate with, how many offspring they produce, whom they join forces with, and whom they work to depose. In some species, power can even change an animal's sex. Nor are humans invulnerable to this magnificently intricate melodrama: Dugatkin's tales of the researchers studying power in animals are full of unexpected pitfalls, twists and turns, serendipity, and the pure joy of scientific discovery.

    Traditional Enemies - Britain's...

    After the surrender of the French government in May 1940, the British were concerned that the resources of the French Empire, and particularly the powerful French fleet, would be put at the disposal of the Germans. The British, dependent upon their naval power and the resources of the Empire and Commonwealth to continue the war, sought to neutralize the threat of the French fleet and saw an opportunity to gobble up certain French colonies for themselves. Thus, even while Britain was locked in a deadly struggle with Nazi Germany, she continued the centuries-old imperial rivalry with her nearest neighbor and recent allies. The British attack on the French Mediterranean fleet at Mers el Kebir is well known, but less often remembered are the British operations against Vichy forces in West Africa, Syria and Madagascar. As the latent threat of the French fleet was the chief source of British concern, the conflict was largely a naval one, but there were substantial land operations in Syria and Madagascar. In Syria and Lebanon, Operation Exporter pitted 20,000 British, Indian, Australian and Free French troops against 35,000 Vichy French who fought with much greater skill and determination than expected. Operation Ironclad, the invasion of Madagascar, saw three brigades of infantry, supported by light tanks, make the first large scale British amphibious assault since the ill-fated Gallipoli landings in WWI. John D Grainger narrates and analyses all the British operations, by land, sea and air, against the French up to the Anglo-American Torch landings in North Africa. He reveals the initial reluctance of the British forces to really get stuck into their erstwhile allies and the reverses that resulted from underestimating the will of the Vichy French to fight. The complicating factor of De Gaulle's Free French is another major theme. Above all, what emerges is that these are fascinating campaigns in their own right that have been unduly neglected.
