तोलोलिंग की चोटी पर बीस दिन से भारतीय जवान शहीद हो रहे थे। आखिरी हमले की रात वे दुश्मन के बंकर के बेहद करीब पहुँच गए, लेकिन तभी गोलियों की बौछार हो गई। वे घायल थे, लेकिन वापसी उन्हें मंजूर नहीं थी। शरीर से बहते खून की परवाह किए बिना उन्होंने एक ग्रेनेड दागा और कारगिल में भारत को पहली जीत मिल गई। उसके सामने 100 चीनी सिपाही खड़े थे; गिनती की गोलियाँ बची थीं, लेकिन मातृभूमि का कर्ज चुकाते वक्त उसके हाथ नहीं काँपे और उसने युद्ध के मैदान को दुश्मन सिपाहियों का कब्रिस्तान बना दिया। ये भारतीय सेना की वे युद्ध गाथाएँ हैं, जो आप शायद आज तक नहीं जान पाए होंगे। रणभूमि में कान के पास से निकलती गोलियाँ जो सरसराहट पैदा करती हैं, वही कहानी इस किताब में है। बडगाम में मेजर सोमनाथ शर्मा की कंपनी ने कैसे श्रीनगर को बचाया और सियाचिन में पाकिस्तान के किले को किसने ढहाया, इस पराक्रम के हर पल का ब्योरा यह किताब देती है। सन् 1947 से लेकर करगिल तक भारतीय सैनिकों की वीरता की ये वे सच्ची कहानियाँ हैं, जो बताती हैं कि विपरीत हालात के बावजूद कैसे अपने प्राणों की परवाह किए बिना हमारे सैनिकों ने अदम्य साहस और शौर्य दिखाया। यह उस पराक्रम की झलक है, जो युद्धभूमि में दिखा और आज इस पुस्तक के जरिए आप तक पहुँच रहा है। भारतीय जाँबाजों के शौर्य, साहस, निडरता और राष्ट्रप्रेम का जीवंत प्रमाण है यह कृति 'पराक्रम', जो पाठकों को न केवल प्रेरित करेगी, वरन् भारतीय सैनिकों के समर्पण के प्रति श्रद्धा से नतमस्तक कर देगी।

Shri Parasram Maderna, who is known as the farmer messiah and the iron man of Rajasthan politics, was born on 23 July 1926 in Shri Laxmannagar in Phalodi of Jodhpur district. He received his primary education in his village and later completed his post graduation and LLB from Lucknow University. It is said that in the 70s and 80s, the Maderna family dominated Rajasthan politics. Despite this, Parasram Maderna lost the election for the first time in 1985, but four years later in 1989 he again won from Bhopalgarh and became the President of the State Congress Committee. In 1993, when Bhairon Singh Shekhawat's government was formed in the state, Parasram Maderna was made the Leader of the Opposition.

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is one of the most common maladies of mankind. Approximately 40% of the adult population of the USA suffers from significant heartburn and the numerous antacids advertised incessantly on national television represents a $8 billion per year drug market. The ability to control acid secretion with the increasingly effective acid-suppressive agents such as the H2 blockers (pepcid, zantac) and proton pump inhibitors (nexium, prevacid) has given physicians an excellent method of treating the symptoms of acid reflux. Unfortunately, this has not eradicated reflux disease. It has just changed its nature. While heartburn, ulceration and strictures have become rare, reflux-induced adenocarcinoma of the esophagus is becoming increasingly common. Adenocarcinoma of the esophagus and gastric cardia is now the most rapidly increasing cancer type in the Western world. The increasing incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma has created an enormous interest and stimulus for research in this area. GERD brings together a vast amount of disparate literature and presents the entire pathogenesis of reflux disease in one place. In addition to providing a new concept of how gastroesophageal reflux causes cellular changes in the esophagus, GERD also offers a complete solution to a problem that has confused physicians for over a century. Both clinical and pathological information about reflux disease and its treatment are presented. GERD is meant to be used as a comprehensive reference for gastroenterologists, esophageal surgeons, and pathologists alike.

Gastroesophageal reflux is one of the most common maladies of mankind.

It has just changed its nature. While heartburn, ulceration and strictures have become rare, reflux-induced adenocarcinoma of the esophagus is becoming increasingly common. Adenocarcinoma of the esophagus and gastric cardia is now the most rapidly increasing cancer type in the Western world.At present, there is no histologic test that has any practical value in the diagnosis of reflux disease. The only histologic diagnostic criteria are related to changes in the squamous epithelium which are too insensitive and nonspecific for effective patient management. It is widely recognized that columnar metaplasia of the esophagus (manifest histologically as cardiac, oxyntocardiac and intestinal epithelia) is caused by reflux. However, except for intestinal metaplasia, which is diagnostic for Barrett esophagus, these columnar epithelia are not used to diagnose reflux disease in biopsies. The reason for this is that these epithelial types are indistinguishable from "normal" "gastric" cardiac mucosa. In standard histology texts, this "normal gastric cardia" is 2-3 cm long.In the mid-1990s, Dr. Chandrasoma and his team at USC produced autopsy data suggesting that cardiac and oxyntocardiac mucosa is normally absent from this region and that their presence in biopsies was histologic evidence of reflux disease. From this data, they determined that the presence of cardiac mucosa was a pathologic entity caused by reflux and could therefore be used as a highly specific and sensitive diagnostic criterion for the histologic diagnosis of reflux disease. They call this entity "reflux carditis". In addition, the length of these metaplastic columnar epithelia in the esophagus was an accurate measure of the severity of reflux disease in a given patient.At present, there is some controversy over whether cardiac mucosa is totally absent or present normally to the extent of 0-4 mm. While this should not be a deterrent to changing criteria which are dependent on there normally being 20-30 cm of cardiac mucosa, there has been little mainstream attempt to change existing endoscopic and pathologic diagnostic criteria in the mainstream of either gastroenterology or pathology. The ATLAS will be the source of easily digestible practical information for pathologists faced with biopsies from this region. It will also guide gastroenterologists as they biopsy these patients.

GERD: A New Understanding of Pathology, Pathophysiology, and Treatment transforms the assessment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) from its present state, which is largely dependent on clinical definition and management, to a more objective scientific basis that depends on pathologic assessment. Sequential chapters in this single-author book describe the fetal development of the esophagus, the normal adult state, and the way exposure to gastric juice causes epithelial and lower esophageal sphincter damage at a cellular level. It allows recognition of the pathologic manifestations of lower esophageal sphincter damage and develops new histopathologic criteria for quantitating such damage. This understanding provides new pathologic criteria for definition and diagnosis of GERD from its earliest cellular stage. Algorithms based on measurement of sphincter damage can identify, even before the onset of clinical GERD, persons who will never develop GERD during life, those who develop GERD but remain with mild and easily controlled disease, and those who will progress to severe GERD with failure to control symptoms, Barrett esophagus and adenocarcinoma. Aggressive early intervention in the last group with the objective of preventing disease progression to its end points of uncontrolled symptoms and adenocarcinoma becomes feasible.

This book documents the political and cosmological processes through which the idea of ‘total territorial rule’ came into being in the context of early- to mid-nineteenth-century Ceylon (Sri Lanka). Analysing ideas at the core of the modern international system, Pluriversal sovereignty and the state develops a decolonial theoretical framework informed by a ‘pluriverse’ of multiple ontologies of sovereignty to argue that the territorial state itself is an outcome of imperial globalisation. Anti-colonialism up to the middle of the nineteenth century was grounded in genealogies and practices of sovereignty that developed in many localities. By the second half of the century, however, the global state system and the states within it were forming through colonising and anti-colonising vectors. By focusing on the ontological conflicts that shaped the state and empire, we can rethink the birth of the British Raj and locate it in Ceylon some 50 years earlier than in India. In this way, the book makes a theoretical contribution to postcolonial and decolonial studies in globalisation and international relations by considering the ontological significance of ‘total territorial rule’ as it emerged historically in Ceylon. Through emphasising one important manifestation of modernity and coloniality — the territorial state — the book contributes to studies in the politics of ontological pluralism in sovereignty, postcolonial and decolonial international studies, and globalisation through colonial encounters.

Are you a white person with questions about how race affects different situations, but you feel awkward, shy or afraid to ask the people of colour in your life? Are you a racialized person who is tired of answering the same questions over and over? This book is for you: a basic guide for people learning about racial privilege. In Frequently Asked White Questions, Drs. Alex Khasnabish and Ajay Parasram answer ten of the most common questions asked of them by people seeking to understand how race structures our every day. Drawing from their lived experiences as well as live sessions of their monthly YouTube series Safe Space for White Questions, the authors offer concise, accessible answers to questions such as, "Is it possible to be racist against white people?" or "Shouldn't everyone be treated equally?" With humour and compassion, this book offers relatable advice and a practical entry point into conversations about race.

When Britain ended slavery in Trinidad and introduced a new system of labour using Indians as indentured workers in the plantations, they altered the demographic structure and cultural identity of the island, which resulted in the rich diversity that is today evident in the ethnic and cultural mosaic of the twin-island state of Trinidad and Tobago. Beyond Survival is their story.
