Описание: In 1948 as England was recovering from the effects of World War Two, for the last time in his career Don Bradman led a strong Australian cricket team to the British Isles. His intent was not only to retain the Ashes, but to do so by remaining undefeated on the tour across all matches, a feat never achieved by any of his predecessors. Every character on that tour was special in his own way. Don Bradman - in his last series as player and captain of Australia, obsessed with coming back undefeated, something no Australian captain had ever achieved. Keith Miller - war pilot, flamboyant personality, ladies' man, fearsome fast bowler and a powerful batsman. Neil Harvey - youngest member of the squad, fated to be the successor of the Don. Len Hutton - one of the greatest batsmen of all time, dropped inexplicably for a Test from an English side weakened by the effects of a long war. And of course the story of how Bradman's average remained at 99.94, the most famous number in the history of cricket.This book is the author's tribute to Bradman's Invincibles. It is a story that has been told before, but what this book does is weave the story around the tour of the characters who played such an important part, the post-war England that hosted the tour not long after the most devastating conflict in the history of mankind had ended, and tells the fascinating story of how through it all the single thread that kept it all together was one man's determination to make history in a manner that would never again be possible. Kersi-Meher Homji, Cricket Historian and author of 15 bestselling books including his newest - 'From Bradman to Kohli', writes a fascinating not-to-be-missed chapter detailing his personal encounters with the Invincibles. Anindya Dutta is an author and columnist who writes widely on cricket and other sports. His columns appear in the Hindustan Times, Sportstar, ESPN Cricinfo, The Cricket Monthly, Cricket Soccer, The Roar and many other websites and journals. This is his third book. The first two, 'A Gentleman's Game' and 'Spell-binding Spells' have been widely acclaimed and continue to remain at the top of Amazon Bestseller lists.

Описание: The history of the 1947 Indian/Pakistani partition is one of separation: a country and people newly divided. However, in telling this story, Anindya Raychaudhuri, the son of a partition participant, looks to unity, joining for the first time the public and private memory narratives of this pivotal moment in time. Narrating Partition features in-depth interviews with more than 120 individuals across India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and the United Kingdom, each reflecting on a direct or inherited experience of the 1947 Indian/Pakistani partition. Through the collection of these oral history narratives, Raychaudhuri is able to place them into comparison with the literary, cinematic, and artistic representations of partition, and in doing so, examine the ways this event is remembered, re-interpreted, and reconstructed--and the narrator's role in this process. These stories also reflect on the themes of home, family, violence, childhood, trains, and rivers within these public and private narratives. Crucially, Raychaudhuri is the first writer to use oral history in addressing the Bengal/Punjab partition as part of this same event, examining the memorial legacy in both the Bengali and Punjabi communities.

Описание: How can we promote the learning and well-being of all students, especially those who come from some of the most disadvantaged backgrounds? Anindya Kundu argues that we can fight against deeply rooted inequalities in the American educational system by harnessing student agency—each person's unique capacity for positive change. To make his case, Kundu draws powerful narratives from a population of individuals who beat the odds to become academically and professionally successful. These strivers have overcome challenges such as broken families, homelessness, unexpected pregnancies, forms of abuse, incarceration, and more, to make it in the world. But it wasn't simply individualism, tenacity, resilience, or grit that helped them. Rather, as Kundu illustrates, it was a combination of social and cultural supports that paved the path towards their dreams, harnessing the inherent power of their agency.Book Features:A counter-narrative to the popular misconception that all students need is "grit."A strengths-based approach to education that is sensitive to students' communities and cultures. Rich, first-person quotes from individuals who have overcome immense odds.Useful diagrams for educational stakeholders on the relationship between grit and agency.Descriptions of dense sociological concepts presented in plain terms.Inclusion of fundamental and new waves in psychology.

Описание: Many aboriginal communities in the Global South depend for their livelihoods on the vast supply of bio-resources around them, but multinational corporations (MNCs) are not always ethical in their dealings with these communities. MNCs often pirate and patent communal, traditional knowledge, thereby "acquiring" intellectual property potentially worth hundreds of millions of dollars almost free of cost. Aboriginal communities face steep uphill legal battles in these cases.
Here Anindya Bhukta explores the porous legal relations between traditional knowledge and current intellectual property law. Focusing on aboriginal communities in India, Bhukta explains how India, like other resource-rich countries, has spent millions trying to revoke US-issued patents on knowledge gained from aboriginal communities using existing IPR legislation. He demonstrates that existing IPR laws do not provide full legal protection in such cases - a fact acknowledged by the World Trade Organization when it categorically asked for a sui generis law to be developed for precisely these purposes - and he suggests just such a new law that could offer more robust legal protection for aboriginal communities wishing to capitalize on their own accomplishments. In so doing, Bhukta calls attention to the vital contributions that aboriginal communities make to global development.
Legal Protection for Traditional Knowledgeis a must-read for researchers in economics, development studies, and international law, and especially those with an interest in the intellectual property status of traditional knowledge.
