Public Health Policy: Issues, Theories, and Advocacy offers students an engaging and innovative introduction to public health policy: its purpose, how it is originated, and how it is implemented. The book describes the underlying theories and frameworks as well as practical analytical tools needed for effective advocacy and communication. Drawing on the multidisciplinary nature of public health, the book uses concepts and examples from epidemiology, law, economics, political science, and ethics to examine the policymaking process, explain positions pro or con, and develop materials for various audiences to further a public health policy intervention. In addition, Public Health Policy shows h...
This book is part of my PhD research work which was submitted and awarded from Deccan College Post-Graduate & Research Institute (Deemed University), Pune, India in 2015. I have chosen to work on “Nishi” as I was always fascinated about the tribal cultures. As Northeast India is a homeland of many tribal communities with living traditions, Nishis were one of them. They were the largest tribal communities in Arunachal Pradesh as well as in Northeast India known for their brave attitudes. During British time in India, Nishis were the one who defeated the British to enter in their land. They killed many British officials, and the British feared them. Recollecting from the umpteen memories f...
Capacity building - which focuses on understanding the obstacles that prevent organisations from realising their goals, while promoting those features that help them to achieve measurable and sustainable results - is vital to improve the delivery of health care in both developed and developing countries.

This issues-based reference work (available in both print and electronic formats) shines a spotlight on health care policy and practice in the United States. Impassioned debates about the best solutions to health care in America have perennially erupted among politicians, scholars of public policy, medical professionals, and the general public. The fight over the Health Care Reform Act of 2010 brought to light a multitude of fears, challenges, obstacles, and passions that often had the effect of complicating rather than clarifying the debate. The discourse has never been more heated. The complex issues that animate the health care debate have forced the American public to grapple with the ex...

They also discu...
Twilight on the Yamuna, traces the footsteps of Sandy, a young South Asian girl, whose search for love and truth brings her face to face with the harsh realities of a world no longer separated by stereotypes and presumptions. The novel retains a unique characterization that bridges literary and commercial fiction in a ‘mythic’ context, by drawing allusions between a ‘spiritual’ world, reflected in the narrator’s poetic oration at the beginning of each chapter, and the ‘contemporary’ society, reflected in the prose of the novel itself. At first glance, it is a tale of mystery and love but, upon closer inspection, it compels the more observant reader to ponder over the values and ideals that shape contemporary Indian, American, and Indian-American identities, in the United States, and back in India. Charming, witty, and insightful, Twilight on the Yamuna will draw readers into a mystery that, by the end, raises as many questions as it does answers.
