Sinossi

Dams of India explores the multifaceted role of dams in shaping India's water resources, power generation, and agricultural landscape. It examines how these massive engineering projects have influenced the nation's development, while also considering the environmental and socio-economic consequences. The book highlights the historical evolution of dam construction in India, from ancient water harvesting systems to modern mega-dams. Intriguingly, dam construction often involves geological considerations for site selection, and the book emphasizes the necessity of sustainable dam management practices to mitigate environmental impacts and maximize benefits for all stakeholders.

 
The book progresses through distinct sections, beginning with an introduction to dam engineering principles and then transitions into analyzing major Indian dams by region and purpose. It further delves into the socio-economic impacts, documenting case studies of displacement and the effectiveness of resettlement policies. Finally, it examines the environmental consequences of dam construction, such as altered river ecosystems and deforestation. This approach provides a comprehensive understanding of the complex challenges and successes associated with dam construction and its profound influence on India's infrastructure development.

    Upland - A Journey through Time...

    'Fascinating and lyrical . . . A beautifully written celebration of a lifelong passion' – Stephen Venables
    The relationship of people with hills and mountains has been complex, rich and varied – from awe and wonder to fear and loathing, from spiritual longing to peaceful acceptance.
    As he explores our high places, Ian Crofton conjures up those who have been there before: Neolithic axe-makers, mass trespassers, shepherds, quarrymen, botanists, poets and pioneering cragsmen and women among them. At the same time, he is ever attuned to the present moment – a flash of bright moss in a bog, the swoop of an eagle above a skyline, a winter sun sinking into a sea of cloud.
    Following an arc from the gentle Downs of southern England to the wild peaks of Scotland's far north, Upland combines personal experiences with a keen curiosity about the history and nature of mountain landscapes, and the people who once worked and wandered among them. The result is a meditation on the enduring yet ever-changing hills, on the transience of human experience, and on the shifts and twists of time itself.

    53% of CPHQ candidates fail the exam. Here’s what successful test-takers do differently. 
    While mastering all the essential concepts and topics can certainly improve your chances of earning your certification, passing the CPHQ has less to do with what you know or even how you apply what you know… 
      
    … and more to do with your overall approach to taking the exam itself. Because the chief difference between those who pass and those who fail comes down to the strategies they use to “beat” the CPHQ exam. 
      
    That’s where this book can help. 
      
    Inside, you’ll discover: 
      
    ●     An easy-to-remember 6-point process for systematically picking apart each question on the CPHQ exam 
    ●     What to do if you don’t end up passing the CPHQ on your first try — and exactly how long this can end up delaying your certification 
    ●     Which type of question makes up more than half of all questions on the exam, and the subtle differences between each type 
    ●     2 full-length practice tests, each with 125 unique questions and detailed explanations to help you identify any knowledge gaps to focus on 
      
    And much more! 
      
    With the 2 full-length practice tests included, you’ll get to simulate the actual testing experience and spot opportunities to improve your score. 
      
    So when the big day rolls around, you’ll be confidently armed with the knowledge, skills, and – more importantly – the strategies needed to pass the CPHQ. 
      
    Become a Certified Professional in Healthcare Quality.
