This book examines the relationship between natural resource management, sustainable development, and governance with case studies from India and other places covering disaster risk reduction, conflict resolution, capacity building, climate change adaptation and resilience, citizen engagement and ecological conservation. Though the studies focus mostly on cases in India, the volume discusses how governance can be employed to help develop and implement sustainable practices globally through the lens of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) framework. Readers will learn how to integrate concepts of resource management, sustainable development, and governance to improve human resilience to global environmental change, and to assess the proper development approaches to assist economically stressed and resource-deprived individuals. The book will be of use to graduate students and academics, policy makers, planners, and nonprofits.

lndian novel is necessarily written in English. He writes that the qualificatory "in English" is unnecessary, as it is absurd to assume that any work in Kannada or Bengali might also be in some way "lndian"-they do not claim to participate in the fiction of the "postcolonial totality called lndia". However, the concept of lndian English novel or rather the concept of lndians writing in English came much later and it is with the coming of Raja Rao, R.K. Narayan, Mulk Raj Anand, the journey of lndian English Novel began. The early lndian novels which were merely patriotic gained a rather contemporary touch with the coming of Mulk Raj Anand, Raja Rao and R.K. Narayan. The book deepens the existing critical responses and explores many unseen dimensions of lndian Novelist.

Islam is the complete code of life. It addresses issues, pertaining to almost every walk of life. Polity, economy, society, family, education human rights, self and national defence, inheritance, science, philosophy, religion spirituality, moral values, communal harmony etc. In fact, not a single subject has been spared, which does not find mention in Holy Quran and Traditions of Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh). Prophet''s teachings are all based on the Divine Revelations, made by Allah, the Exalted, through the medium of archangel Jibrael from time to time. The first revelation was made in the cave of Hira, when the Prophet (Pbuh) had completed four decades of his life. The cave event is, in fact, the manifestation and systematic declaration of the prophethood, which he had been endowed since birth. Completion of forty years of age is the time, when as a principle, prophethood is systematically declared and pronounced. Since the Prophet (Pbuh) was not formally literate, he never said anything on his own. Select criteria helped in sorting out his sayings, with authenticity and genuineness from amongst a plethora of mix sayings. Finally, about one lakh and fifty thousand sayings were sorted out, which have been collected into six books, based on Prophet''s teachings. Encyclopaedia of Prophet Muhammad''s Teachings is a multi-volume work, based on research and meticulous findings. Comprehensive, extensive exclusive and holistic, as it is, it must create an urge in all quarters of Islamic scholars to possess it.

Damages to the plants by insects are easily felt, but not realised fully. Every year, hundreds of people die of hunger. We can provide them with enough, food, if food crops are kept safe. Plant Protection continues to play a significant role in achieving targets of crop production. Major thrust areas of plant protection are promotion of integrated pest management, ensuring availability of safe and quality pesticides for sustaining crop production. It is essential to have the basic knowledge about the plant pathogens, different kinds of diseases caused by them to various crops and of course, the methods of controlling diseases to avoid enormous losses. This book is a serious endeavour in this direction. This Encyclopaedia in four volumes takes the stock of present state of art in plant protection. It caters to the need of knowledge hungry biologists, agriculturists, policy planners and specialists in the field of plant protection and of course the students, teachers and researchers.
