S. Irudaya Rajan, "Climate Change, Vulnerability and Migration"
English | ISBN: 0367345412 | 2019 | 320 pages | PDF | 2 MB
This book highlights how climate change has affected migration in the Indian subcontinent. Drawing on field research, it argues that extreme weather events such as floods, droughts, cyclones, cloudbursts as well as sea-level rise, desertification and declining crop productivity have shown higher frequency in recent times and have depleted bio-physical diversity and the capacity of the ecosystem to provide food and livelihood security. The volume shows how the socio-economically poor are worst affected in these circumstances and resort to migration to survive.

Challenging Racism in the Arts: Case Studies of Controversy and Conflict By Carol Tator, Frances Henry, Winston Mattis
1998 | 256 Pages | ISBN: 0802071708 | PDF | 17 MB
In this thoughtful and lucid analysis, framed by their contention that 'cultural production is one way in which society gives voice to racism,' Carol Tator, Frances Henry, and Winston Matthis examine how six controversial Canadian cultural events have given rise to a new 'radical' or 'critical' multiculturalism.Mainstream culture has increasingly become the locus for challenge by racial minorities. Beginning with the Royal Ontario Museum's Into the Heart of Africa exhibition, and following through with discussions of Show Boat, Miss Saigon, the exhibition of the Barnes Collection at the Art Gallery of Ontario, the 'Writing Thru Race' conference in Vancouver, and the ill-fated attempts to acquire a licence for a black/dance radio station in Toronto, the authors examine manifestations of racism in Canada's cultural production over the last decade. A 'radical' multiculturalism, they argue, is difference as a politicized force, and arises whenever cultural imperialism is challenged.
Cell Cycle Regulation and Development in Alphaproteobacteria
English | 2022 | ISBN: 3030906205 | 305 Pages | PDF | 10 MB
Cell cycle and cellular differentiation are fascinating biological phenomena that are highly regulated in all organisms.
