The Myth Buster — 150 Great Misconceptions Clarified
Indians do not have the habit of questioning beliefs of any kind. There are numerous myths in every walk of life which even people with science background nurture all their lives. This book reveals to the world the scientific truth behind myths, misconceptions, traditional beliefs and notions in all walks of life that have been harboured all along without being questioned.
The Global Employment
Challenge
The book’s empirical focus is on four groups of states: developing countries, developed countries, Central and Eastern Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent states. It offers groundbreaking analysis of the nature and characteristics of employment and of emerging trends in these areas, as well as valuable information derived using both new and established indicators of employment and unemployment. The study also looks in detail at certain specific questions such as the unequal distribution of productive resources and the failure of globalization to alter this, the relationship between employment and poverty reduction in developing countries, and the rise in non-standard employment in developed countries.

ONE
thing that we lack very seriously in India is rational and scientific
temper. We are too willing to accept most things as the ultimate truth
simply because some reporter wrote about them in the local paper or some
TV channel had shown it. This book covers a wide range of subjects
ranging from beauty, fashion, lifestyle, health, exercise, sex, diet,
nutrition, general science, astrology, medicine, sports, miracles, and
supernatural phenomena to terrorism. In these pages you will find the
most authentic information on all these topics citing internationally
renowned authorities, which will literally lead you to the truth.
This volume offers an
in-depth analysis of the state of employment in the world today,
providing a detailed and comprehensive picture of the serious challenges
faced by today’s policy-makers. The authors argue that the precise
nature of what they call ‘the employment challenge’ varies between
countries and regions, as do its underlying causes and the responses of
governments. But they also suggest that in a globalizing world there are
policy challenges that can only be addressed at the international level.
The authors warn that if the international community and national
governments fail to take corrective action immediately, what is now an
employment problem will soon become an employment crisis in all parts of
the world.
