Managing Migration with Foreign Aid

Border Control without Walls

Historically, commerce has existed in Assam in different forms. In the late medieval and early modern times, Assam had trading connections with neighbouring areas of Bhutan, Tibet, Bengal and Myanmar (Burma). This book is about the commercial activities in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in and around Assam. It looks at colonial Assam's economy, its traders, mercantile communities, riverine trade and transportation and bazaars and examines the use of resources by the colonial regime. The book also explores the unique ecology of the region and the role it played in defining Assam's place in the global economy.Rich in archival resources, this book fills a major gap in the historiography of Northeast India and will be indispensable for scholars and researchers of Northeast India, colonial history, economic history, trade and commerce, cultural history, Indian history, South Asian history and history in general.

Assam, c. 1826–1905

Commerce, Political Economy and Ecology in Northeast India

Go to every funeral. The instruction arrived in a small cafe in Newark, New Jersey, delivered by a mother to her college-age daughter with a pointed finger and a tapped table. Six words. No explanation. No qualification. Just a command that contained, compressed into a single sentence, an entire philosophy of human obligation.David Boles carried that instruction for twenty-five years, through the deaths of a neighbor he kissed as a terrified five-year-old, a grandfather he watched die over years of weekend drives across Nebraska, a mother whose preplanned funeral left her survivors with nothing to do, a mentor who saved his life with a single phone call, a friend who died by suicide, and a cat who was his closest writing companion for fifteen years. Each loss tested the instruction. Each loss confirmed it.Go to Every Funeral: How Grief Defines the Living is a hybrid cultural investigation and memoir that asks what grief is, where it comes from, who controls it, and what happens when the structures designed to support it are broken.The investigation begins in the body, where neuroscience reveals that grief is a form of learning, a slow revision of the brain's internal map of the world. It moves through the animal kingdom, where elephants stand vigil over their dead and crows hold gatherings that researchers can only call funerals. It traces the history of death in America, from the family parlor to the professional funeral home to the refrigerated trucks of the COVID-19 pandemic. It surveys mourning practices across the globe, from the Torajan highlands of Indonesia to the burning ghats of Varanasi to the jazz funerals of New Orleans, identifying a universal grammar of mourning that every culture shares: communal acknowledgment, physical task, temporal structure, and an ongoing relationship with the dead.The book follows the money, examining how the American funeral industry converts grief into expenditure and how media organizations ration public mourning by race, class, and narrative potential. It confronts the culture of suppression that tells men not to cry, gives employees three days of bereavement leave, and excludes children from the rituals that would teach them how to grieve. It asks what happens when grief is disenfranchised, when the loss of a pet, a country, or a public figure is dismissed because it falls outside the approved hierarchy of things worth mourning.At its center is Howard Stein's instruction to the author after the death of Janna's mother: "Allow her to have her grief." Seven words that articulate the principle every grief suppressant violates. Grief belongs to the griever, and the only question is whether the world will let it be.

Bold Quiet Warrior is an invitation to unlock the leader already in you.

Not through volume or visibility, but through practice-through preparation, responsibility, and care.

Drawing from a life shaped by family legacy, movement work, and leadership inside institutions, Diallo K. Brooks reflects on the quiet disciplines that sustain change over time. This book does not offer formulas or shortcuts. Instead, it explores what leadership asks of us when the spotlight fades: earning voice through preparation, stewarding power without ego, honoring capacity, and building what lasts.

Bold Quiet Warrior speaks to organizers, public servants, institution¿builders, and anyone who feels the pull of responsibility but resists performative leadership. It is for those who understand that leadership is not something bestowed or claimed-it is something already present, waiting to be practiced with intention.

This is not a story about arrival. It is an invitation to alignment. To lead from where you are. To stay when the work is slow.

Leadership does not always announce itself. Sometimes it begins quietly, when you choose to step forward.

Bold Quiet Warrior invites you to unlock that choice.

The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind (French: Psychologie des Foules; literally: Psychology of Crowds) is a book authored by Gustave Le Bon that was first published in 1895.

In the book, Le Bon claims that there are several characteristics of crowd psychology: "impulsiveness, irritability, incapacity to reason, the absence of judgement of the critical spirit, the exaggeration of sentiments, and others. Le Bon claimed that "an individual immersed for some length of time in a crowd soon finds himself - either in consequence of magnetic influence given out by the crowd or from some other cause of which we are ignorant - in a special state, which much resembles the state of fascination in which the hypnotized individual finds himself in the hands of the hypnotizer.

Kamal Shair's book is a classic rags to riches story: the village boy, who with determination and education, achieves business success, wealth, more wealth, and then influence and power. What makes it unusual is that it emanates from the Arab world. Rarely among Arabs have individuals from thoroughly modest backgrounds, with no access to links, networks or connections become truly global commercial players. Shair was born in a small town in what was then Transjordan and dragged himself through school (his mother was illiterate), moved to college in Beirut, then sailed off to America (Michigan and Yale) and returned to the Middle East to create a multinational corporate empire engaged in trade, construction and manufacturing. Dar al Handasah - Arabic for House of Engineers - was founded in a small flat in Beirut and today, spans the globe with offices in 37 countries. In its early years, Dar al Handasah fought off competition from established western consultancies to win contracts for prestige engineering throughout the Middle East. Eventually, its activities extended further to Europe, the United States, Africa and Asia. By not following the usual pattern of patronage and favours, Kamal Shair applied a fresh kind of ethic in an environment with a loosely-structured business ethic. In the process, he lived through and witnessed at first hand and at close quarters some of the most dramatic events of the modern Arab world. This is quite an extraordinary tale and a very original prism through which to read the turbulent post-World War II history of the Middle East. At the same time we see the growth, despite all the odds, of one of the world's great engineering and business enterprises in a narrative of epic and inspirational proportions.

The Psychology of Revolution is a social psychology classic text by Gustave Le Bon that deals with the The Psychology of Revolution and contains the following excerpt:

The present age is not merely an epoch of discovery; it is also a period of revision of the various elements of knowledge. Having recognised that there are no phenomena of which the first cause is still accessible, science has resumed the examination of her ancient certitudes, and has proved their fragility. To-day she sees her ancient principles vanishing one by one. Mechanics is losing its axioms, and matter, formerly the eternal substratum of the worlds, becomes a simple aggregate of ephemeral forces in transitory condensation.

The Psychology of Revolution
