K. Bhargava The word ‘stress’ is defined by the Oxford Dictionary as “a state of affair involving demand on physical or mental energy”.It is a condition or circumstance (not always adverse), which can disturb the normal physical and mental health of an individual. Extreme stress conditions, psychologists say, are detrimental to human health but in moderation stress is normal and, in many cases, proves useful. Stress, nonetheless, is synonymous with negative conditions. Today, with the rapid diversification of human activity, we come face to face with numerous causes of stress and the symptoms of stress and depression. Relationship demands, physical as well as mental health problems, pressure at workplaces, traffic snarls, meeting deadlines, growing-up tensions-all of these conditions and situations are valid causes of stress. However hard we try to go beyond a stress situation, life seems to find new ways of stressing us out and plaguing us with anxiety attacks. Moreover, be it our anxiety, mind-body exhaustion or our erring attitudes, we tend to overlook causes of stress and the conditions triggered by those. In such unsettling moments we often forget that stressors, if not escapable, are fairly manageable and treatable. Learning to understand and master stress management techniques can help prevent the counter effects of this urban malaise. The book presents an absorbing and comprehensive look at the concept of stress and explores its physiological effects our body’s stress response and its result. It also explains the most appropriate techniques to manage & prevent stress.

The contents of this book enlighten the close nexus between self belief of teenagers / adolescents and parental behaviour.

A realistic self-appraisal and enhanced self-belief may help a child/ teenager/ student to avoid frustration, anxiety and depression and this is possible only, when the parents are able to prove themselves as 'torch-bearer'. The parental behaviour acts as a catalyst to boost the latent talent of an adolescent, which also in-turn gives clarity of perception with reference to any of the challenges, which an adolescent may face during the course of his life. A positive and matured parental behaviour provides guidance to the child for helping him to take his own decisions as and when required. The parents generally have a tendency to overestimate or to underestimate the potentials / capabilities of their offspring. Similarly, students also commit mistake of wrong appraisal of their self-worth and caliber.

Thomas For education to be purposeful and meaningful it should be creative. This is now acknowledged by leaders in the field of education. This is so because mere intelligence without the ability to turn it into creative activity would be more or less useless.

Creativity has been held to be the source of the best of human inventions. Ideas do erupt, but in the joy of finding the solution, very few remember the time and the agony spent in the throes of creative brooding and thought that brought about the seeming miracle. This book explains how to unlock the creativity in children to enable them to grow up into responsible citizens of society. Beginning first with a detailed explanation of intelligence and its importance in human endeavour, the chapters include Intelligence, The Struggle for Excellence, Educational Goals—Shifting Emphasis, Nurturance of Multiple Intelligences in Early Childhood, Teaching the Cognitively Talented, A New Theory of Learning for Creativity, Productive Creativity, Creativity—Taking Learning to a Higher Level and Creative Teaching out of the Classroom.

Most of the marketing problems arise because the products and services and marketing programmes are not in harmony with consumer’s mind. The study of consumer behaviour tries to harmonise marketing programmes and strategies with consumer needs. In India, due to increase in diversity of population and the ever-expanding choices and freedom makes the study of consumer behaviour a must for the marketing function. The 21st century is not going to be happy with “consumer satisfaction” but is certainly with “consumer delight”. This book is an effort to pave for this paradigm shift.  The entire book is divided into six chapters. The first chapter explains the concept, significance, determinants and models of consumer behaviour. The empirical investigation for collection of primary data has been undertaken through a research methodology in the second chapter. The third chapter highlights the importance of psychological factors in consumer behaviour. The fourth chapter includes the role of personal factors.

It is indeed the adolescents who will create and decide what is the actual value of these rights. With the awareness of their fundamental and human rights are the adolescents aware of their duties, too? This book is on to find out whether adolescents are really aware of their human rights and if they are aware how much they are adjusted in the society with regard to their culture and socio-economic status. It was accepted worldwide that promotion of human rights is the only way to world peace. So almost all countries framed laws to ensure and protect human rights of their citizens. Though next world war did not occur yet the target of peace could not be achieved within the territories of various countries. Worldwise terrorism has added fuel to this fire-destructive situation. This has proved that law or constitution alone can not protect the human rights of citizens. Now educationists have given a solution to this problem. They have suggested that human rights education might protect human rights of citizens all over the world. But this target can be achieved when human rights education becomes a compulsory part and parcel of B.Ed./M.Ed. and school curriculum. This book will be of special interest to non-governmental organisations, bureaucrats, sociologists and educationists, human rights activists and those general readers who wish to understand and be aware of wide ranging implications of Human Rights.  ..more  Price: Rs. 1200.00  Buy Now Physiology of Crop Plants P.

The book will thus, try to explain the various aspects of learning disabilities with clarity and defined goals for all the nine chapters. The first chapter offers the precise explanation to what the problem of learning disabilities is along with a brief account on the various types. The second chapter follows with an aim to unravel all the possible causes of learning disabilities. .After this fundamental knowledge regarding the ‘what’ and ‘why’ of learning disability, rest of the chapters provide a detailed account on each type Chapter three, four, five would deal with the issues of Dyslexia, Dysgraphia and Dyscalculia whereas Chapter six and seven would highlight the features of specific learning disabilities and Attention Deficit Hyperactive Syndrome respectively. All these chapters clearly outline the definitions, signs, symptoms and effects of various types. The book would have been incomplete without the coping methods.

We hope the book strengthens the belief among all the stakeholders that children with learning disability can also dare to dream.

G. Pillai Many children are gifted. They possess faculties and abilities much beyond the average for their age-group. Some of them may even be geniuses with exceptional talent. But in most cases, the special talents go unrecognised in the early stages by parents and teachers and the child is left to fend for himself on two fronts. On the one hand, he finds himself an outcaste among his peers for his so-called ‘ superiority’ and on the other he fails to receive the encouragement and extra stimulus he or she needs for the proper development and canalisation of the inherent special talent and skill. This book studies the characteristics that most gifted children exhibit and how to identify and pinpoint them. It enables parents and teachers of such children to put in the extra and correct effort that, administered at the right time, will enable the child to develop his ‘specialness’ along the right lines and ultimately grow into a useful and important member of society. Educators and parents will surely find this book useful. It will prevent them from neglecting a gifted child and, vice versa, stop them from piling on pressure to produce results on children who just do not have the aptitude or talent to be exceptional, and are just average. Most important, a study of this book will prevent useful talent and skills in children from languishing or developing into frustration because of lack of identification and consequent neglect. ..more  Price: Rs. 400.00  Buy Now Psychology and Child Development S.
