The Global Seafarer: Living and Working Conditions in a Globalized Industry By T. Alderton
2005 | 208 Pages | ISBN: 9221127133 | PDF | 6 MB
This volume offers a systematic account of the effects of globalization on the shipping industry and seafarers' lives. The seafarers' labor market is changing rapidly and this study discusses the challenges encountered in recruitment practices, trade unions, and collective bargaining, as well as training, certification, and fraudulent certification. Wages, contracts, and tours of duty are also investigated, and the book includes in-depth treatment of seafarer safety and hazard exposure. Innovations such as automated engine rooms and the global maritime distress and safety system, the internationalization of ship registrations, multinational crewing and reductions in crewing levels, and the rise in ship management companies have had a profound effect on seafarers' living and working conditions. This perceptive book examines these and future issues for regulation and enforcement.

The Elusive Aryans: Archaeological Search and Vedic Research; The Origin of the Hindus By Pradhan Sv
2014 | 315 Pages | ISBN: 1443860328 | PDF | 2 MB
The question of the original home of the Aryans and their migrations to India is only part of the problem of their elusiveness. Their subsequent assimilation and nativization in India also contributed to this elusive quality. This socio-cultural process can be traced through a study of their gods, rituals, and philosophy. Thus, changes in the nature and function of Rgvedic gods; the appearance of upstart gods in the late Rgvedic period; the elaboration of the soma ritual with elaborate supplementary rituals; the introduction of the new ritual of Agnicayana; the rise of the eschatology of punarjanma (rebirth) and samsara (eternal return) based on karma; and the ideal of mukti, or liberation from life, in place of the former ideal of a life of saradah satam (a hundred autumns) are symptoms of, as well as a witness to, the transformation of the original identity of the Aryans as revealed in the Family Books of the Rgveda. This cultural transformation is no less significant than the Yaksa prasna (knotty question) of their original home and their indubitable archaeological traces. The book addresses itself to both these questions, and, for that purpose, takes another look at some of the archaeological material and Aryan life and thought as reflected in Vedic literature.
