Public Opinion
Twenty-four news networks, a plethora of newspapers and magazines, vibrant news-talk radio, and the ubiquitous Internet highlight our society as information-driven. With such a steady stream of hard facts mixed with publicised opinions, the mainstream population has an opinion on everything. Most anyone seems itching to argue their side of an issue, making once private beliefs fodder for general consumption. A staple of any medium's content is a regular public opinion poll on whatever hot topic strikes the editor's fancy. From the significant to the mundane, public opinion permeates society. Accordingly, politicians have taken note of these opinions and adopted stands and values that put them in tune with public sentiment. An understanding of the nature of public opinion, therefore, is paramount in today's world. This book assembles and presents a carefully chosen bibliography on public opinion in its many forms. The collection of references makes for a valuable resource in studying and researching the critical issue of public opinion. Easy access to these pieces of literature are then provided with author, title, and subject indexes.
An Exploration of Unintended Consequences
This is a collection of five warm and sentimental novelettes that provide an unapologetic male gaze (despite the raconteur in three of them being women) upon the actions of ordinary people and the consequences of these actions, intended and unintended, upon their lives. In the process, it takes the reader on a whirlwind tour of India – from the eastern states of Bihar and Jharkhand to the western city of Mumbai, and from the line of control in Kashmir to the southern city of Chennai – covering a span of time from the license raj days of the 1980s to the lockdown and its aftermath in the 2020s and describing the lives of a range of people, from the English-speaking elite to others from less educated and exposed sections of society. The collection is a must-read for those looking to introduce themselves to the parts of the country and its people that they may not be familiar with, and to values and attitudes different to their own.

The Economics of Human Betterment
The Economics of Human Betterment is a comparative look at economic change and social progress. It is about betterment—a change or process—and about institutions and countries as they evolve. It is about human betterment—and therefore concerned with perceived welfare and the identification of basic human needs. And it is about economics, but about means as means, not means as ends. This book asks in what way productive activities (whether free market or planned, whether in developed or in developing countries) influence and reflect basic human values. The essays contained herein represent some of the best up-to-date accounts available on such topics as the welfare state in Holland or the relationship between growth and betterment in Singapore. Other essays take in the United Kingdom, Japan, India, and the planned economy of the Soviet Union. The contributors are all well-known experts in their own field. And their essays reveal a common conviction that economics is about people first, and about things only in so far as they contribute to human betterment.

They can certainly add to our understanding about human problems if we are able to analyse why a particular person behaves in in a way in a given situation. Story telling is an art. There are different techniques of withholding information and revealing it suggestively to keep the readers eagerness. The writer tried to maintain an appropriate structural design for an aesthetic effect in accordance with the themes of the stories .
Comprehensive Security in Asia
The term comprehensive security goes beyond simplifications such as us and them; it accounts for all aspects vital to national stability; food, energy, environment, communication and social security.
