The Grand Samara
by Trisha DasHome has always been a temporary arrangement for Samara Mansingh, a wayfaring wedding photographer and the daughter of a diplomat. When her father is uprooted once again, Samara needs a place to stay in Delhi. Next stop: the Khanna family. Samara's memories of the Khannas are vague at best, but she doesn't remember their home feeling so much like a war zone. And the last thing their surly eldest son, Sharav, wants is a houseguest eavesdropping on the chaos. Sharav has a melodramatic sister pushing back on an arranged marriage, a withdrawn lead-singer brother who won't sing, and a widowed mother hiding her grief in the garden. Sweeping into the household like a tornado, irrepressible Samara is a practically perfect distraction. She has a mind to help a girl find true love, push a young man to find his voice, and bring a lonely and loving widow out of mourning. Maybe Samara can even get on Sharav's ruggedly handsome good side. The only sure thing is that the Khanna family will never be the same again. Neither will Samara, who may finally find what she's been missing her entire life: a home.

Leadership Lessons from the Bhagavad Gita
by Ace V. SimpsonFor professionals grappling with the challenges of corporate life, Leadership Lessons from the Bhagavad Gita offers a transformative path to overcome self-defeating habits and silence the mind's negative chatter-often the greatest barrier to effective leadership.

Drawing on the example of Krishna guiding Arjuna's chariot, it redefines leadership as a commitment to service, excellence, and virtuous character, inspiring others to follow suit. Its unique insights help you understand different personality types, motivating individuals according to their nature, and building effective teams for a harmonious and prosperous organizational culture. Ultimately, this book challenges leaders to embrace unity and diversity, achieving sustainable well-being and happiness in their organizations.

Selfishness and Selflessness: New Approaches to Understanding Morality (WYSE Series in Social Anthropology #10)
by Linda L. LayneWe are said to be suffering a narcissism epidemic when the need for collective action seems more pressing than ever. The traits of Selfishness and selflessness address the ‘proper’ and ‘improper’ relationship between one’s self and others. The work they do during periods of social instability and cultural change is probed in this original, interdisciplinary collection. Contributions range from an examination of how these concepts animated the eighteenth-century anti-slavery campaigners to a dissection of the way middle-class mothers’ experiences illustrate gendered struggles over how much and to whom one is morally obliged to give.
Tactical Citizenships: Encounters with Everyday State in the Republic of Cyprus (New Anthropologies of Europe: Perspectives and Provocations #8)
by Theodoros KourosThe idea of citizenship is formed through a dynamic and flexible set of relationships that go beyond a sequence of formal rights and duties. It is recurring in everyday social contexts—in practices that play out in the real world, in the everyday exercises or refusals of citizenship rights, in the purposeful defiance of norms, and in the tactical evasion of duties. This book explores the troubled relationship between a state and its citizens across four different kinds of social spaces in Limassol, Cyprus. Tactical Citizenships is a testament to the tenacity and resourcefulness of citizens of unfair states in directing their relations with the government.

Werteorientierte Organisationsentwicklung in Polizei und Behörden: Den Generationen- und Wertewandel als lernende Organisation erfolgreich gestalten
by Stephen KöppeDas Buch beschreibt die Herausforderungen des Generationen- und Wertewandels für Polizei und Behörden sowie die tiefgreifenden Veränderungen für deren Organisation. Mit dem Eintritt junger Menschen in den öffentlichen Dienst geht ein grundlegender Wandel der Arbeitskultur und -strukturen einher. Um diesen Wandel erfolgreich zu gestalten, bedarf es einer kontinuierlichen und werteorientierten Entwicklung hin zu einer lernenden Organisation. Die Bereitschaft von Mitarbeitenden und Führungskräften, bestehende Strukturen in Frage zu stellen und Veränderungsprozesse aktiv mitzugestalten, spielt dabei eine entscheidende Rolle. Wie lässt sich ein offener Diskurs über Werte gestalten und wie können notwendige Veränderungen nachhaltig in die Verwaltungsstrukturen integriert werden? Stephen Köppe stellt die theoretischen Grundlagen einer werteorientierten Organisationsentwicklung vor und zeigt, wie diese im Verwaltungskontext eingeordnet werden können. In einer umfassenden Studie in einer Berliner Polizeidirektion untersuchte er die Haltung von Mitarbeitenden und Führungskräften und nimmt die unterschiedlichen Perspektiven der Generationen auf das Thema in den Blick – von „Babyboomern“ über die Generationen „X“ zu „Y“ und „Z“. Ein praxisnahes Buch für alle, die den Weg zu einer lernenden Organisation in der Polizei und im öffentlichen Dienst aktiv mitgestalten wollen.
Trees in a Sub-Saharan Multi-functional Landscape: Research, Management, and Policy
by Paxie W. Chirwa Stephen Syampungani Theodore M. MwambaAfrica is largely dependent on natural resources in its quest to achieve sustainable development goals, with its woodlands and forests known to be among the most exploited ecosystems. Anthropogenic pressure has led to the progressive conversion of these woodlands and forests into patches of regrowth stands, savanna and cropland systems. Expansion with intensification of agricultural land and the unsustainable use of fuelwood biomass are among the major drivers of such landscape transformations and the associated decline of biodiversity and ecosystem services. This phenomenon is growing in magnitude and significance with emerging environmental issues including climate change, biological invasion, and pollution arising from various land use practices, thereby jeopardizing Africa’s development pathway. Agroforestry holds promises to reverse this trend, as it provides the potential for designing multifunctional agricultural landscapes that guarantee trade-offs of food security, biodiversity conservation, and ecosystem services. Africa is characterized by highly variable ecological conditions and remarkable cultural diversity that influence the conception of landscape multifunctionality. Drawing upon the vast experience of researchers and many other professionals in Africa, this book contextualizes the roles of trees in African multifunctional landscapes, capturing the biophysical and societal diversity in the region, while scrutinizing the ongoing trend of landscape multifunctionality in Africa with reference to the global scenario. It is designed to provide a holistic and comprehensive understanding of the various roles of trees in African landscapes and shed light on the underlying functional attributes of trees, which will help readers to generate a better insight and problem-solving approach for landscape multifunctionality in the context of Africa. This book defines the multifunctional landscapes with reference to an African context. The book has fourteen chapters, covering five broad thematic areas (i) the multiple services, functions and role of trees in multifunctional landscapes; (ii) tree-based production systems, products and their contributions to rural livelihoods; (iii) drivers of land cover changes and their impacts; (iv) approaches for managing resources to integrate trees in multifunctional landscapes; and (v) external factors affecting landscape resources management in Africa.
