Two Owls at Eton - A True Story
epub | 6.87 MB | English | Isbn:‎ B01KXTIN6K | Author: Jonathan Franklin | Year: 1960

Description:

'A CLASSIC OF WILDLIFE WRITING' - THE FIELD
Listed as one of its five best nature books - 2010 Country Life
When Jonathan Franklin takes two baby tawny owls back to Eton, he has no idea how chaotic the following months will be. The birds show no respect for Etonian routine and tradition. They trash his room and rule his daily life, and are known throughout the school as 'Dum' and 'Dee'
. Although a keen naturalist, Jonathan struggles to understand his charges and to find the right food for them; at first meat and feathers, soon mice and rats. Even so, they nearly die of malnutrition on two occasions. Frantic, he searches for natural food. How to keep them alive is a constant worry. He watches them grow from ugly balls of fluff into beautiful adults, every change of plumage and behaviour noted. They play truant, they shock others, and lead Jonathan into hilarious adventures. They charm his housemaster and everybody who meets them. Best of all is seeing them...

International Institutions and Power Politics - Bridging the Divide
pdf | 2.45 MB | English | Isbn:‎ B07YCWGB1Y | Author: Wivel, Anders (Editor) | Year: 2019

Description:

This book moves scholarly debates beyond the old question of whether or not international institutions matter in order to examine how they matter, even in a world of power politics. Power politics and international institutions are often studied as two separate domains, but this is in need of rethinking because today most states strategically use institutions to further their interests. Anders Wivel, T.V. Paul, and the international group of contributing authors update our understanding of how institutions are viewed among the major theoretical paradigms in international relations, and they seek to bridge the divides. Empirical chapters examine specific institutions in practice, including the United Nations, International Atomic Energy Agency, and the European Union. The book also points the way to future research. International Institutions and Power Politics provides insights for both international relations theory and practical matters of foreign affairs, and it will be essential reading for all international relations scholars and advanced students.

Lean In - Women, Work, and the Will to Lead
azw3 | 1.22 MB | English | Isbn:‎ 0753541629 | Author: Sheryl Sandberg | Year: 2013

Description:

The #1 international best seller

In Lean In, Sheryl Sandberg reignited the conversation around women in the workplace.

Sandberg is chief operating officer of Facebook and coauthor of Option B with Adam Grant. In 2010, she gave an electrifying TED talk in which she described how women unintentionally hold themselves back in their careers. Her talk, which has been viewed more than six million times, encouraged women to "sit at the table," seek challenges, take risks, and pursue their goals with gusto.

Lean In continues that conversation, combining personal anecdotes, hard data, and compelling research to change the conversation from what women can't do to what they can. Sandberg provides practical advice on negotiation techniques, mentorship, and building a satisfying career. She describes specific steps women can take to combine professional achievement with personal fulfillment, and demonstrates how men can benefit by supporting women both in the workplace and at home.

Written with humor and wisdom, Lean In is a revelatory, inspiring call to action and a blueprint for individual growth that will empower women around the world to achieve their full potential.

Global Taiwanese - Asian Skilled Labour Migrants in a Changing World
pdf | 1.45 MB | English | Isbn:‎ B0921MCJFP | Author: Moore, Fiona; | Year: 2021

Description:

In Global Taiwanese, Fiona Moore explores the different ways in which Taiwanese expatriates in London and Toronto, along with professionals living in Taipei, use their shared Taiwanese identities to construct and maintain global and local networks.
Based on a three-year-long ethnographic study that incorporates interviews with people from diverse backgrounds, generations, and histories, this book explores what their different experiences tell us about migration in "tolerant" and "hostile" regimes.
Global Taiwanese considers the implications in leveraging their Taiwanese ethnic identity for both business and personal purposes. As people become increasingly mobile, ethnic identity becomes more important as a means of negotiating transnational encounters; however, at the same time, the opportunities it offers are rooted in local cultural practices, requiring professionals and other migrants to develop complex social strategies that link and cross the global and local levels.
With rich ethnographic detail, this book contributes to the understanding of the migrant experience and how it varies from location to location, how migration more generally changes in response to wider socioeconomic factors, and, finally, of the specific case of Taiwan and how the distinctive nature of its diaspora emerges through wider discourses of Chineseness and pan-Asian identity.

India - The Wasted Years [PDF]
pdf | 6.01 MB | English | Isbn:‎ B098P9818P | Author: Shukla, Avay | Year: 2021

Description:

About the Book

India: The Wasted Years, is a series of essays that were originally blogs. These have been arranged not in a chronological sequence but under subject-heads, making them a cohesive commentary on the times we live in, in India, about which the author writes. While not a work of history, the book is instead the shout of a wounded civilisation. These essays will find place in the annals of India's evolution through the 21st century. Uncompromising in his analysis, the author studiously cites the dark clouds of political, social and economic failures, that seem to be without the proverbial silver lining.

About the Author
Avay Shukla is a retired civil servant, environmentalist and writer. He writes extensively on current affairs, the environment and conservation, the bureaucracy and governance, legal matters, social issues, societal peccadilloes and anything else he can lampoon. Shukla is settled in a small village, Puranikoti, above Shimla in Himachal Pradesh and intends staying there most of the time until the cows come home.

You can empower yourself to address your health issues by learning the basics of herbalism and start your journey toward living a healthful life today!

And much more.

While pharmaceutical drugs certainly have their use, far too often, we reach for that pill for every little discomfort, despite the potential harm it could do to our body.

Instead of constantly depending on synthesized drugs, learn to rely on yourself and the power of nature to nourish and heal you from within.
