Market or Government Failures?
Choosing between government and market is not a very helpful exercise since both are necessary. This book argues that it is misplaced to dichotomise between government and market failures. Too much attention is generally placed on government failures and not enough on private corporate failures. Failures occur in both public and private corporate spheres. They may be due to lapses in implementation of policies and programmes. Lack of enforcement in developing countries occurs either because rules and norms do not exist or they are poorly enforced. Emphasis on implementation problems highlights the importance of organizations and institutions.
The Childbearing Family in Sub-Saharan Africa
Sub-Saharan Africa has not joined the global demographic transition. Africa's eventual transition to fertility decline may depend more than it has elsewhere on functional changes in the family and changes in the family structure.
The House Between Tides
Readers adore THE HOUSE BETWEEN TIDES 'For any novel, it's a cracker. For a first novel, it's incredible.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'I LOVED IT.

As a Wise Man Once Said....
"I love politicians. I can always rely on them to have fewer scruples than I do." "Old age is not as bad as it seems. It allows you to make excuses for things that you never did well anyway." "Free speech is entirely desirable, unless someone uses it to disagree with you." Anil Bhalla isn't afraid to say what we're all thinking in this hilarious new book of quotations, observations, and ruminations on everyday living and the state of the modern world. Pen in hand, he tackles everything from religion to relationships with wry humor and plenty of self-deprecation. Bhalla knows he might be curmudgeonly and sarcastic, but we're all the better for it as he lets his personality fly free in As a Wise Man Once Said... Bhalla provides invaluable observations about himself, wisdom, time, love, life, truth, virtue, temptations, money, politics, society, people, relationships, golf, and God. Slip this book into your pocket for the next time you're seeking the perfect phrase to sum up your experiences, or give it to the astute observer in your life.
Rural Poverty in India, 1973-86
Growth (trickle- down) and poverty alleviation (pull- up) programs are not substitutes for each other, but complements, the Indian data on poverty show.
Models and Methods of High-Tc Superconductivity
The articles in this exceptional book contain regular papers, extended papers and reviews, and thus vary in length and are useful for all kinds of audience. They describe, as the book's name suggests, HTSC models and methodologies. Physical models (like extended BCS model, bipolaron model, spin bag model, RVB (resonating valence bond) model, preformed Cooper pairs and antiferromagnetic spin fluctuation (AFSF) based models, stripe phase, paired cluster (spin glass (SG) frustration based) model, Kamimura-Suwa (Hund's coupling mechanism based) model, electron- plasmon interaction, electron- phonon interaction, etc.), theoretical methods (methodologies) (like generalised BCS-Migdal-Eliashberg theory, Hubbard model, t-J model, t-t'-U model, Hubbard-Holstein model, Fermi-, non Fermi- and marginal Fermi- liquid concepts, generalised Hartree-Fock formalism, etc.) and, experimental status and methodologies are all described there. For comparison with cuprates, fullerenes, ruthenates, organic-, non Cu-containing oxide-and conventional (elemental, A15)- superconductors, molecular crystals, nickelates, manganites, borides etc. are also discussed.
