The Unprized
‘The Unprized’- the title itself reflects the purpose of this very special book. In this book, you will find beautiful poems, meaningful open letters, and powerful articles. This anthology is an attempt to provide a literary outlet for a spectrum of women writers to appreciate the women in their life. The writers were free to interpret the theme as they wished to, which has led to an amalgamation of inspiring and wholesome tales. From friends and family to famous personalities and sometimes even strangers, the women in our lives can have a huge impact on us. This was a chance for the community of women writers to reflect back and “appreciate the unseen”. It was a great opportunity to create a book with women writers from all around India and other countries. The compilers, Ananya Verma and Sarah Jackson really hope that this book sparks a chain of gratitude and appreciation in the minds of the reader.
Forbidden Earth
A spaceship lands on Earth in the year 3060 AD. This group of humans have never been on Earth, and their ancestors were driven off from the planet centuries back. The planet is now ruled by biological computers - that have slightly different biochemistry from the humans, but they are made up of cells that are eerily similar to human cells, though there are some very important differences in the DNA. **************************************************************************** Macey Johnson and her best friend Leslie Stevens had known each other since kindergarten. They knew everything about each other - from family history to embarrassing moments. Right now the two were rushing down the main hallway wondering how quickly they could squeeze themselves out of their spaceship door...

Forbidden Earth
A spaceship lands on Earth in the year 3060 A.D. Centuries ago, the last of the human race was driven off the planet by biological computers (BCs). These creatures were almost human, but had minor, yet critical variations in their DNA. Ever since the BCs attacked humans, no human had ever dared set foot on Earth. Yet, Macey, a chirpy teenager, couldn't contain her excitement as the spacecraft that she had lived on, her entire life, was about to land in front of a waterfall in Forbidden Earth. It was known to be an area of the planet where no BC would ever venture. Or so they were told...
Amartya Sen's Capability Approach
Kuklys examines how Nobel Prize-winning economist Amartya Sen’s approach to welfare measurement can be put in practice for poverty and inequality measurement in affluent societies such as the UK. Sen argues that an individual’s welfare should not be measured in terms of her income, but in terms what she can actually do or be, her capabilities. In Chapters 1 and 2, Kuklys describes the capability approach from a standard welfare economic point of view and provides a comprehensive literature review of the empirical applications in this area of research. In the remaining chapters, novel econometric techniques are employed to operationalise the concepts of functionings and capability to investigate inequality and poverty in terms of capability in the UK. Kuklys finds that capability measurement is always a useful complement to traditional monetary analysis, and particularly so in the case of capability-deprived disabled individuals.
Wellbeing, Freedom and Social Justice
How do we evaluate ambiguous concepts such as wellbeing, freedom, and social justice? How do we develop policies that offer everyone the best chance to achieve what they want from life? The capability approach, a theoretical framework pioneered by the philosopher and economist Amartya Sen in the 1980s, has become an increasingly influential way to think about these issues. Wellbeing, Freedom and Social Justice: The Capability Approach Re-Examined is both an introduction to the capability approach and a thorough evaluation of the challenges and disputes that have engrossed the scholars who have developed it. Ingrid Robeyns offers her own illuminating and rigorously interdisciplinary interpret...
World Development Report 2006
The World Development Report 2006: Equity and Opportunitypresents a social development strategy organized around the themes of social inclusion, cohesion, and accountability. It examines equality of opportunities--a potentially important factor affecting both the workings of the investment environment and the empowerment of the poor--by building on and extending existing accountability frameworks presented in the 2005Report. TheReportis divided into three parts. Part I describes patterns of inequality in a range of variables both at the national and global level-incomes, educational achievements, health indicators, power, and influence. Part II highlights reasons why some levels of inequalit...
Identity and Violence
Amartya Sen argues that most of the conflicts in the contemporary world arise from individuals' notions of who they are, and which groups they belong to - local, national, religious - which define themselves in opposition to others.
