New Hardcover . " As might be expected from a state of such formidable scholars, all essays are well researched and thoughtful. They will contribute significantly on how India as a rising power can play a meaningful and effective role in all aspects of India's geoploitics." The Asian Age "The editor of the book, Mr Prakash Nanda, said, "The book with a range of opinions on foreign policy concerns for India will help in democratising foreign policy making and changing mindsets." The Asian Age "aEUR well-researched and dispassionately analysed essays presents valuable information on critical aspects of India's geopolitical at a time when the country is celebrating its sixtieth anniversary of Independence." Organiser "Do we know who are our foes?...Books about strategic studies published in India are often boring. One reason is that most of them turn out to be an apology for Jawaharlal Nehru's foreign policy: The so-called Non-Aligned Movement or the Five Great Principles of peaceful co-existence. It is difficult to understand what Indian experts find so great in these 'principles' which led to the enslavement of Tibet, independent for 2,000 years and a peaceful neighbour. ....therefore, refreshing to read Rising India: Friends and Foes... Edited by Prakash Nanda ... the essays are different from the usual stuff on foreign policy. Not only do they delve deeper into all aspects of the Asian situation, but also provide answers to some worrisome recent developments. Usually, large chunks of a book like this are devoted to studies of Pakistan and its relations with India. But this volume endorses what Sondhi (Prof ML Sondhi) believed was central to India's foreign policy: The importance of China in the Asian framework. Due to the obsession with Pakistan, China has been neglected and when studied, it has been more from a "bhai-bhai" point of view." The Pioneer This book consists of essays by some of the worldaEUR s best minds on international relations and strategic affairs. The constant theme throughout this volume has been to highlight the fact that as the world comes to terms with a rising India, Indians must, in turn, learn to shoulder the burdens that come with being an important power. Gone are the days when Indian policy makers found it difficult psychologically to bring new situations into perspective, missing, thereby, historic opportunities for positive formulations in world politics on many focal questions. Gone are also the days when Indians were forced to find virtues in being passive, negative and peripheral. TodayaEUR s imperatives are different. Therefore, IndiaaEUR s biggest foreign policy - challenge now lies in changing the old mindsets of the Indians that their country can remain a bystander to the actions of other powers. The choices India makes today have the potential to change outcomes on almost all global issues. The end of the Cold War has liberated India to simultaneously deepen its relations with all the major power centres. India can no longer remain bound by the Cold War paradigm where good relations with one power automatically entailed negative consequences with its rivals. Contributors to this volume have examined in details how the old strategic thinking and foreign policy vision in India were sustained, strengthening, in the process, the causes of IndiaaEUR s rivals and foes. They have also discussed how this old mindset could and must change so that India, along with its friends and partners, could excel in the global power structure. Their well-researched and dispassionately analyzed essays are intended to contribute significantly to the debate on critical aspects of IndiaaEUR s geopolitics as the country celebrates the sixtieth anniversary of its independence this year.

Guter Zustand. Aus der Bibliothek der Gräfin Ledebur. The Eye in the Door is a novel by Pat Barker, first published in 1993, and forming the second part of the Regeneration trilogy. The Eye in the Door is set in London, beginning in mid-April, 1918, and continues the interwoven stories of Dr William Rivers, Billy Prior, and Siegfried Sassoon begun in Regeneration. It ends some time before the conclusion of the First World War later the same year. The third part of the trilogy, The Ghost Road, continues the story. The first and eponymous part of the Regeneration trilogy finishes somewhat inconclusively, with Sassoon being cleared to return to active service on the Western Front. Several questions remain unanswered. What happens to Sassoon? How does Rivers resolve his personal conflicts over the contradictory goals of war and medicine? What resolution lies in store for the couple Billy Prior and Sarah Lumb? The Eye in the Door goes a long way to answering these questions, and raises still more. Whereas Regeneration is an anomalous, but not unique, mixture of fact and fiction, The Eye in the Door acknowledges real events, including the campaign against homosexuals male and female being waged that year by right-wing MP Noel Pemberton Billing, but remains consistently within the realm of fiction. This grants Barker more freedom to explore her characters and their actions, the descriptions of which might be considered slanderous if attributed to real people. A major theme of the book, Prior's intense and indiscriminate bisexuality, is effectively contrasted with Rivers's tepid asexuality and Sassoon's pure homosexuality. Greater fictional scope also permits a deeper and more fascinating treatment of the complex psychological, political, and professional life of the charismatic and enigmatic central character, Billy Prior. This makes the book more purposeful and formally coherent than its predecessor. While a fight is waged for 'freedom', injustice and prejudice continue to flourish throughout England. The emergent conflicts shared by the main characters - some of which are artfully developed from incidental and easily overlooked minor aspects of the first book - make for intrigue that is only partially developed in this book. This sense of incompleteness, of the author holding something back, seems to presuppose a third volume in the series, perhaps calling into question the integral wholeness of this book as a stand-alone work. ... wikipedia--wiki-The_Eye_in_the_Door - - Pat Barker (born May 8, 1943) is one of England's most important contemporary novelists. She has won many awards for her fiction, which centres around themes of memory, trauma, survival and recovery. Her work is described as direct, blunt and plainspoken. Personal life Barker was born to a working class family in Thornaby-on-Tees in the North Riding of Yorkshire, England, on 8 May 1943. Her mother Moyra died in 2000, and her father's identity is unknown. According to the British newspaper The Times, Moyra became pregnant "after a drunken night out while in the Wrens," and later told people that Barker was her sister, rather than her daughter. They lived with Barker's grandmother Alice and step-grandfather William, until her mother married and moved out when Barker was seven. Barker could have joined her mother, she told the Guardian in 2003, but chose to stay with her grandmother "because of love of her, and because my stepfather didn't warm to me, nor me to him". Her grandparents ran a Fish and chip shop which failed and the family was, she told the Times in 2007, "poor as church mice; we were living on National Assistance - 'on the pancrack', as my grandmother called it". Barker, who says she has always been an avid reader, went on to study international history at the London School of Economics. After graduating in 1965, she returned to her grandparents' town to nurse her grandmother, who died in 1971. In 1969, she was introduced in a pub to David Barker, a zoology professor and neurologist 20 years her senior, who left his marriage to live with her. They had two children together, and were married in 1978, after his divorce. Their daughter Anna Ralph is now a novelist. Barker was widowed when her husband David died in January 2009. ... wikipedia--wiki-Pat_Barker Aus: wikipedia-

Jonathan Haidt, the highly influential psychologist, is here to show us why we all find it so hard to get along. By examining where morality comes from, and why it is the defining characteristic of humans, Haidt shows why we cannot dismiss the views of others as mere stupidity or moral corruption. Our moral roots run much deeper than we realize. We are hardwired not just to be moral, but moralistic and self-righteous. From advertising to politics, morality influences all aspects of behaviour. It is the key to understanding everybody. It explains why some of us are liberals, others conservatives. It is often the difference between war and peace. It is also why we are the only species that will kill for an ideal. Haidt argues we are always talking past each other because we are appealing to different moralities: it is not just about justice and fairness - for some people authority, sanctity or loyalty are more important. With new evidence from his own empirical research, Haidt proves it is possible to liberate us from the disputes that divide good people. We can either stick to comforting delusions about others, or learn some moral psychology. His hope is that ultimately we can cooperate with those whose morals differ from our own.
