Woven thematically around modern critical debates, it explores the vision and wonder of the world of children’s literature.

Geographically, it is the 7th largest country in the world with a land frontier of 15200 km and a coastline of over 7500 km.\n\u003cbr\u003eIndia is the spiritual leader of the world. The vigour and vitality that emanated from the spirituality-oriented civilizations led to a spiritual awakening in India in the Vedic Age that transformed the lives of ancient Indians. Veda means knowledge and the Vedic Age represents an era of spiritual knowledge. Despite the inherent vices in the caste system, the Vedic Age brought many changes in the social and cultural spheres of India.\n\u003cbr\u003eVolume IV of The Concise Encyclopaedia of India captures the major events of India’s history, religion and art before turning to modern India—starting with the arrival of East India Company in seventeenth century—through the creation of India as a sovereign socialist secular democratic republic after Independence.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe book makes an attempt to peep into the contributions of India in several areas of science including linguistics, mathematics, geometry, astronomy, medicine, and civil engineering. The ancient Indian science developed in the days of yore when everything was accepted solely through the experience of the mind and the body.\n\u003cbr\u003eIndia gave birth to four world religions—Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism—a great feat in the history of any nation. However, the book is not confined to the study of these religions alone. Eleven world religions, according to UN statistics, have been dealt with in the book with emphasis on major religions like Hinduism, Christianity and Islam having adherents crossing 4.2 billion, around two-thirds of today’s world population. Besides religions, the major ideas of more than thirty philosophies representing various shades of thought, have been highlighted including those given in the Vedangas, Upavedas, Sutras, Smriti Puranas and Upanishads.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe book will prove a lasting valuable source for the students and teachers of history, philosophy and religion and researchers in these fields.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Publishers \u0026 Distributors (P) Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44908049203351,"sku":"9788126910229","price":487.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788126910229.webp?v=1769306204"},{"product_id":"dictionary-of-curriculum-and-evaluation","title":"Dictionary Of Curriculum And Evaluation","description":"\u003cp\u003e • Author(s): Pritam Singh\u003cbr\u003e • Publisher: Atlantic\u003cbr\u003e • Publisher Imprint: Atlantic\u003cbr\u003e • Subject: Education \u0026amp; Psychology\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Dictionary of Curriculum and Evaluation is perhaps the first Indian dictionary written on curriculum and evaluation.

The feeling of positivity is within us. It is said that positive living is purely an internal matter. It has nothing to do with our external circumstances. There is something positive within us which keeps us happy, and there is something negative within us which keeps us unhappy. Happy living through positivity is nothing more than living a normal life free from undue pressures, problems and tensions. If we want to live a happy life, we need to get rid of the negativity within us which makes us unhappy.\n\u003cbr\u003eNegative approach always complicates problems and increases unhappiness. Most of us make the mistake of looking outwards for happiness rather than looking inwards. The result is that we remain unhappy. The key to be happy is to be positive, strong, bold and courageous every day. Even if we are having a bad day, think of some good things that may come our way, either later that day, tomorrow, next week, month, or year.\n\u003cbr\u003eWhen everything seems to be beyond our control, it is very easy for us to slip into the grasp of negativity. To avoid negativity we must strive to abolish this sort of thinking through the power of thinking positively. The art of happy living is not complicated or difficult to learn, but rather a simple art of living well, eating well, thinking well and feeling well. \n\u003cbr\u003eWhat we need to do is just to fine-tune our mind to enjoy every moment of our life and let positive happiness follow us. This is something that needs to be looked into thoroughly. We need to focus on the positive aspects of our lives, rather than on the negative setbacks.\n\u003cbr\u003eWe must remember that positive living is the reward of positive thinking, and only positive thinking can bring happiness in our lives. If we cannot think positively, we cannot live happily. Let us be our own teacher or adviser and look everything with a positive angle! Let us find something good even in most critical moments of our life and make positive thinking the basis of our happy living!\n\u003cbr\u003eThe book highlights the importance of positive thinking in our life. It attempts to guide the readers to live happily by adopting a positive attitude and to see the brighter side of things even in tough situations, rather than being tense and worried which will only complicate matters. Written by an author who has been practising astrology and numeracy for more than four decades, the book clears many fears and misunderstandings and states that the effect of negative forces can be discarded by adopting positive thinking. \n\u003cbr\u003eWritten in simple language and accessible style, it will appeal to all those who want to lead a tension-free life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peacock Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44908260098199,"sku":"9788124803233","price":297.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788124803233.webp?v=1769306296"},{"product_id":"punjabi-dictionary","title":"Punjabi Dictionary","description":"\u003cp\u003e • Author(s): No Author\u003cbr\u003e • Publisher: Atlantic\u003cbr\u003e • Publisher Imprint: Nirmal B.\u003cbr\u003e • Subject: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Encyclopedia \u0026amp; Atlas\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nirmal B.","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44908320587927,"sku":"9788185297675","price":1327.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788185297675.webp?v=1769306334"},{"product_id":"research-methods","title":"Research Methods","description":"\u003cp\u003e • Author(s): K.R.

It has the power to ruin livelihoods and, under certain circumstances, to take lives.This book outlines the particular characteristics of the construction industry that enable the corrupt to plunder the vast amounts of international funds that pour into large-scale infrastructure projects. Whether through international bribes paid to secure contracts for the Lesotho Dam, or the politicians implicated in the purchase of a waste incinerator in Cologne, the report reveals how corruption steers money away from essential services and development projects. In a special section dedicated to post-conflict reconstruction, the report shows how, from Angola to Iraq, the corrupt prey on the most vulnerable.The Global Corruption Report 2005 also shows that no matter how entrenched corruption seems, it can be beaten. Along with presenting measures specifically tailored to curbing bribery in construction, the report uncovers major trends in anti-corruption legislation and reforms in more than 40 countries.

It gives comprehensive and practical advice on complex points of grammar, syntax, punctuation, style, and word choice. It is often referred to as Modern English Usage, or simply Fowler.
