Описание: With a compassionate realism and narrative sweep that recall the work of Charles Dickens, this magnificent novel captures all the cruelty and corruption, dignity and heroism, of India. The time is 1975. The place is an unnamed city by the sea.
The government has just declared a State of Emergency, in whose upheavals four strangers--a spirited widow, a young student uprooted from his idyllic hill station, and two tailors who have fled the caste violence of their native village--will be thrust together, forced to share one cramped apartment and an uncertain future.
As the characters move from distrust to friendship and from friendship to love, A Fine Balance creates an enduring panorama of the human spirit in an inhuman state.

Описание: A wave of optimism has swept the African continent in the past decade. The pace and extent of social change in recent years, when measured in life expectancy, child and infant mortality rates, literacy, numeracy and the completion of higher education, is quite remarkable. The urban middle class is emerging and expanding in many African countries, while political democracy is developing and strengthening. These positive changes are generating economic growth and attracting foreign investment across the continent, especially in the resource sector. But Africa is still viewed by many as the "dark continent" dealing with serious problems - civil wars, ethnic division, corruption, HIV/AIDS, poverty, food security and the disastrous effects of climate change - and these issues may well impede the upward trajectory of Africa. Canada-Africa Relations: Looking Back, Looking Ahead - the 27th volume of the influential Canada Among Nations series - analyzes the ebb and flow of Canada`s engagement with Sub-Saharan Africa through different lenses over the past few decades and also looks to the future, highlighting the opportunities and the difficulties that exist for Canada and Sub-Saharan Africa. It is clear that a new Africa is emerging, and Canada must be prepared to change the nature of its relationship with the continent.

Описание: The financial crisis that erupted in 2008 severely affected the global economy, plunging most countries into a recession with aftershocks still being felt today. Canada was able to weather the crisis well in comparison to many euro-zone countries and the United States, but it did not escape unscathed. Two major themes are explored in this volume: Canada`s role in the international financial system and the Canadian policy response to the global financial crisis. These themes are examined in light of the shift from the classical gold standard to Bretton Woods to the "non-system" of late, the finance-trade crossover agenda, the changing role of central banks, the European Monetary Union, developing countries and a post-financial crisis global political economy. What becomes clear in this volume is that Canada plays a powerful role, which belies its size, in the development of the financial system and its regulation at an international level. Crisis and Reform: Canada and the International Financial System - the 28th volume of the influential Canada Among Nations series - examines the global financial crisis through Canada`s historical and current role in the international financial system. Canada has been held up as a shining example of good governance during the financial crisis, and its prominent role within international financial institutions should grow as Canada continues as a leading player in the global financial system.

SANCHIN is one of the most powerful Karate Katas. Literally "Three Battles," represents the strenuous unification of mind, spirit, and body.
Rather than a how-to guide, SANCHIN Three Battles delves into the origin, purpose, and benefit of this ancient form, which has a history spanning more than five hundred years. Pervez Mistry, a Hachi-dan black belt Goju-Ryu practitioner, brings his extensive training and practice to bear on the proven positive physiological effects seen with regular practice.
Offering techniques and advice to improve performance, this valuable book for both Karate practitioners and their instructors presents a thorough discussion of the fighting techniques that account for the kata's long and illustrious history and reveals how proper posture and breathing learned through Sanchin, result in health and harmony.
