In August 2021, Afghanistan found itself in the grip of an unprecedented crisis as the Taliban swiftly regained control of the nation, quickly extinguishing the flame of academic freedom.

As the political situation changed quickly, chaos increased, leading to a hurried departure for many and creating a gap in the country's education system. The book, Resilience of Educators in Extraordinary Circumstances: War, Dis...
Oxylipins are an important class of signaling molecules in plants, which play an important role in plant defence and innate immunity. Oxylipins have critical roles in plant growth and plant responses to physical damage caused by herbivores, insects, and pathogenic microbes. Over the last decade, our understanding of oxylipin production, metabolism, and function, particularly jasmonates, has advanced considerably. Jasmonates have provided further mechanistic insights into enzyme function and signalling cascades. Other oxylipins, such as hydroxy fatty acids, have recently been shown to exhibit individual signaling features and crosstalk with other phytohormones. There is scant literature on pl...

The female voice plays a more central role in Sufi ritual, especially in the singing of devotional poetry, than in almost any other area of Muslim culture. Female singers perform sufiana-kalam, or mystical poetry, at Sufi shrines and in concerts, folk festivals, and domestic life, while male singers assume the female voice when singing the myths of heroines in qawwali and sufiana-kalam. Yet, despite the centrality of the female voice in Sufi practice throughout South Asia and the Middle East, it has received little scholarly attention and is largely unknown in the West. This book presents the first in-depth study of the female voice in Sufi practice in the subcontinent of Pakistan and India....
The purpose of writing this book is to encapsulate the journey of PSL from long before it began to where it is now. By no means I am an expert on the league nor do I have any inside knowledge about things, but the only reason I have written it is because as a fan, it is just unbelievable to look at how this league has become so important to Pakistan. But more importantly to Pakistanis who have wholeheartedly owned it and can proudly call Pakistan Super League, a league of their own. I have tried my best to cover all the important and non-important moments that have taken place since the first day when the idea of this league first originated. This book is up to date as of 22nd of June, 2021....
