Water
'... Chellaney shows how today's economic growth could lead to tomorrow's water wars". This is a vital book for anybody interested in diplomacy and conflict in the twenty-first century' - Stanley A. Weiss, founding chairman, Business Executives for National Security, Washington DC The battles of yesterday were fought over land; those of today are over energy. But the battles of tomorrow may be over water. Nowhere is that danger greater than in water-distressed Asia. Water stress is set to become Asia's defining crisis of the twenty-first century, creating obstacles to continued rapid economic growth, stoking interstate tensions over shared resources, exacerbating long-time territorial disputes, and imposing further hardships on the poor. Asia is home to many of the world's great rivers and lakes, but its huge population and exploding economic and agricultural demand for water make it the most water-scarce continent on a per capita basis. Many of Asia's water sources cross national boundaries, and as less and less water is available, international tensions will rise. The potential for conflict is further underscored by China's unrivalled global status as the source of transboundary river flows to the largest number of countries, as it declines to enter into water-sharing or cooperative treaties with these states, even as it taps the resources of international rivers. Water: Asia's New Battleground is a pioneering study of Asia's murky water politics and the relationships between freshwater, peace, and security. Brahma Chellaney paints a larger picture of water across Asia, highlights the security implications of resource-linked territorial disputes, and proposes real strategies to avoid conflict and more equitably share Asia's water resources.

OTP Please
A great shift is underway in how we buy, eat, move, work and sell owing to technological intervention. Tech platforms--whether a Swiggy, Amazon or Uber in India, a Foodpanda in Pakistan or a Pathao in Bangladesh or Nepal--have eased the pressures of modern life. They have freed up our time, provided jobs to grateful millions and delivered guilty pleasures and last-minute necessities to online buyers. But behind the dazzle of the digital, much is opaque. Gig workers live a precarious life while internet retailers cope with the oppressive rules of global behemoths. Consumers wonder if there are are consequences to instant gratification and the extreme ease of living. OTP Please delves into the wondrous new world of electronic commerce by connecting diverse stories and perspectives gathered across South Asia, from Peshawar to Patna and Colombo to Kathmandu. It explores the emotional dynamics between the different actors on this stage, the workings of tech companies and the implications for policy. Deeply researched and breezily narrated, it is essential reading to understand this extraordinary digital age that we inhabit.
The Five-Year Stellar Stock Index and The Yield On Cost Gold Mine
This is not a story book. This book is an instructional manual based on financial research. Sorry, but it's all about the numbers. To appreciate the powerful investment approach that the FYSSI supports, you will have to understand the numbers. Just simple adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing, decimal points and percentages. This is not a get rich quick scheme. If you can grasp the measure and the magnitude of how your investments (big or small) can grow, and how money can make money, you will perhaps feel much better about your monetary future. The intent is to provide a list of stocks that illustrate excellent investment choices. The Five-Year Stellar Stock Index (FYSSI - pronounced "Fizzy") can help you achieve a far better return than the average annual return you can get with an S&P 500 index fund.
