Three out of four Students preparing for the boards and trying to meet their parent's expectations. To cope with the biggest stress, they squeeze out extra study time by Sleeping less and skipping at least one meal, a five-city survey has revealed. This book has been written to help students, parents and teachers to develop a sound understanding of the cause and effect of exam stress and how they can help their child to deal effectively with exam stress. This book is not only helpful to the student as well as for teachers and parents.
The world is in a race against time to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) by 2030. Despite global efforts to address these ambitious goals, progress remains uneven, and significant gaps persist. Women are often underrepresented and underutilized in leadership positions, yet they possess untapped potential to be formidable forces of change. The Role of Female Leaders in Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals is an exploration into the role of female leaders in overcoming the challenges that hinder the realization of the UN SDGs. It makes clear that the reality of achieving these goals requires a seismic shift in leadership dynamics, with women at the foref...
Today a deepening global recession is causing economic hardships for all kinds of businesses. Earth Capitalism attributes the crisis to inappropriate macroeconomic policies and excessive expansion of financial institutions in blind pursuit of profit, lack of self-discipline among financial institutions, and the failure of supervision and regulation to keep up with financial innovations. Collectively, these are some of the main causes of the current global economic malaise. Petit argues that human greed and insatiability are the true source of disparities around the world. Greed is the reason why we are depleting the Earth's natural resources and destroying its ecosystems. He argues that inst...
There is a set of Principles that characterizes the pattern and process of growth and development. These principles or characteristics describe typical development as a predictable and orderly process; that is, we can predict how most children will develop and that they will develop at the same rate and at about the same time as other children. Although there are individual differences in children s personalities, activity levels, and timing of developmental milestones, such as ages and stages, the principles and characteristics of development are universal patterns. This book explores the principles of physical, mental and emotional growth and development in children and teenagers. It provides information on the activities and achievements usually displayed at the given stage of development and also direct readers to information on how to help children and adolescents reach their full potential as they grow and develop. To students considering employment in teaching, nursing, psychology, day-care centers, etc., this book is destined to become a valuable reference tool.
The book entitled "Diseases of Vegetable, Ornamental and Spice crops" is specifically prepared for under-graduate and post-graduate students in Agriculture/Horticulture and a range of professionals including teachers, researchers, extension plant pathologists and commercial farmers. This book contains a total of twenty five chapters dealing with important diseases of vegetables, ornamentals and spices. Each disease entry includes a brief introduction to the disease, detailed description of disease symptoms, information on the pathogen and disease development and strategies for disease management. Disease cycles of important diseases have also been drawn which will help in understanding the perpetuation and spread of the pathogens. Coloured photographs of disease symptoms have been included for easy identification of different diseases.

Macrophomina Phaseolina: Ecobiology, Pathology and Management provides insights into the sustainable prevention and treatment of this wide-spread challenge to plant health. With a focus on agricultural as well as non-food plant challenges, the book highlights diverse approaches and provides central insights. The pathogen?of M. phaseolina affects the fibrovascular system of roots and basal internodes of its host, impeding the transport of water and nutrients to the upper parts of the plant, thus resulting in progressive wilting, premature drying and dying, loss of vigor, and reduced yield. Finally, the book explores the interaction of M. phaseolina with soil, microbes and ecological condition...
