What the Dog SawMalcolm Gladwell
Rs 958
Gladwell’s fourth book comprises various contributions to the New Yorker and makes for an intriguing and often hilarious look at the hidden extraordinary.
He wonders what hair dye tells us about twentieth century history, and observes firsthand dog whisperer Cesar Millan’s uncanny ability to understand and be understood by his pack.
Gladwell pulls double duty as author and narrator; while his delivery isn’t the most dramatic or commanding, the material is frequently astonishing, and his reading is clear, heartfelt, and makes for genuinely pleasurable listening
India’s Foreign Policy: The Democracy Dimension
By SD Muni Rs 792
In the new millennium, India has joined global initiatives like the Community of Democracies (2000) and the UN Democracy Fund (2005) for promoting democracy.
This marks a significant shift in India’s foreign policy as never earlier had India claimed or committed itself to playing a proactive role in promoting and protecting democracy in other countries.
India’s Foreign Policy: the Democracy Dimension is a study of India’s responses to the challenge of democracy in other countries before and after its participation in the global democratic initiatives.
India’s similar responses in the past have been dictated and defined by its perceived vital strategic and political interests, and this continues to be so.
