  The word Upanishad (upa-ni-shad) consists of, "Upa" means "near;" "ni" means "down;" "shad" means "to sit." Thus, Upanishad is to sit down near the teacher to discuss, learn, practice, and experience. There are some 200 or more Upanishads. Some are lost and are only known about because of being referenced in other Upanishads. Most of the Upanishads were kept secret for centuries, only passed on to others orally in the form of Shlokas (a category of verse line developed from the Vedic Anustubh meter).The B?hadara?yaka Upanishad (Sanskrit: ?????????? ???????) is one of the oldest, mukhya (primary) Upanishads. It is contained within the Shatapatha Brahmana (Brahmana is a collection of ancient Indian texts with commentaries on the Vedas.), which is itself a part of Shukla Yajur Veda. Brihad means great. Aryanka (Snskrit) ?????? means means pertaining to the forest. Aranyaka in the  Upanishadic context refers to a treatise to be read or expounded by anchorites in the quiet of the forest. Shankara in his commentary on B?hadara?yaka said that it was “composed for the sake of those who wish to liberate themselves from the world, in order that they may acquire the knowledge that the Absolute Brahman and the individual are the same...A knowledge by which the liberation from the cause of the world is accomplished.” Brihadaranyaka Upanishad is estimated to have been composed about 700 BCE.The 11 principal Upanishads to which Sankara appeals in his great commentary on the Vedanta-Surtras are: Chandogya, Talavakara or Kena, Aitareya, Kaushitaki, Vajasaneyi or Isha, Katha, Mundaka, Taittirtiyaka or Taittiriya, Brihadaranyaka, Svetasvatara, and Prasna. They are also called the 11 classical Upanishads or the fundamental Upanishads of the Vedanta Philosophy. Apart from these, Maitrayana-Brahmana-Upanishad is also considered as an important Upanishad.  The Upanishadic literature is not a religious scripture and is free from dogma and doctrines. It is not a part of any religion but is a philosophy for all times and for all. German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, impressed by the Upanishads, called the texts "the production of the highest human wisdom".  Summary by Jothi.

  The Development and Challenges...

  Despite increasing attention towards Russia’s economy and capital market, corporate governance norms of Russian public firms are rarely analyzed. This project presents and interprets evidence regarding various governance practices followed by Russian firms covering almost the entire period of the existence of the Russian stock market. Its findings run counter to some widely held beliefs according to which Russia is a country with high resistance to corporate innovations due to socialist imprints. 
  
  Part one of this two-volume study focuses on the role that boards of directors play in reducing intra-corporate agency conflicts. Russian companies have adopted progressive governance mechanisms including director independence, nationality and gender diversity on the board, dismissal of poorly performing CEOs, and cross-listing of companies on foreign markets with stringent reporting obligations. Some of these innovations have had notably positive impact on firms’ performances and market valuation. Others, such as nationality diversity on boards of directors, enhanced the image of Russian companies but made little contribution towards improving internal governance. 
  
  Unresolved issues impeding further progress include limited liability of directors towards shareholders due to imperfections of the Russian legal system, a taboo on disclosures of executives’ compensations, and generally high risks of conducting business in Russia. Despite impressive improvements in internal practices, Russian firms still have a long way to go to achieve the governance levels of their peers in developed countries.

  Journalist Ian Dunt reveals how leaving the European Union will damage Britain's politics, courts, businesses and consumers. This fast-paced bestseller strips Britain's biggest issue of the gloss put on it by its cheerleaders and exposes it for what it is: a sham.It is based on extensive research with experts across the law, trade and politics. It maps the trade and legal cliff edge that Britain faces unless it secures a transitional deal with the European Union — and explains why the odds are stacked against the UK government in the negotiations and how the World Trade Organisation is not the solution to leaving the EU.The author (who reads this audiobook) reveals how Brexit will: *make the UK poorer*leave industries like pharmaceuticals and finance struggling to operate*threatens to break up the United KingdomIn brief, it paints the real picture of a country about to undergo a sharp and self-inflicted isolation. In the run up to the EU referendum in 2016, the British cabinet minister Michael Gove said that the British public had had enough of experts. Ian Dunt disagrees. This is a book is for people who believe in evidence and reason.Reviews: 'Magnificent' - Ben Goldacre'Excellent. A must-read. Harass every MP until they read Dunt's book' - AC Grayling'I would strongly recommend this excellent guide. Dunt has taken the extraordinary step of asking a set of experts what they think. I learnt a lot.' - Philip Collins, Prospect'A definitive account of just how much confusion and ignorance has surrounded this entire debate.' - James O'Brien, LBC'I would encourage anyone who is confused, fascinated or frustrated by Brexit to read this book. You will be far wiser by the end of it.'- Caroline Lucas, Co-Leader, Green Party'If you are looking for a good guide to Brexit and what comes next, I can recommend What the Hell Happens Now?' - Tom Watson, Deputy Leader, Labour Party
