Each dreamlike lyric in Biman Roy's Navigating the Quartz Forest is charmingly paired with a small handwritten note hastily jotted down on blue-lined notebook paper-artifacts from his daughter's life outside the family home. "All through the evening, we keep talking nonessentials, / tiptoeing around secret tulips," he says. These notes, like scraps of overheard conversations removed from their natural habitats, become the crystalline seeds of new poems. Side-by-side with each other, the poems act as translator for these somewhat oracular messages from an unknown world of teenage gossip and pop culture references, fitting the pieces together like a shattered mirror and filling in the jagged-edged gaps with the poet's expansive imagination. In Navigating the Quartz Forest, Roy's whimsical poems become a sparkling tribute from a father to his beloved daughter.

"I travel, therefore I am - apologies to Descartes for twisting his noble thought." That's how M. P. Prabhakaran explains his passion for travel in the "Preface" to this book. If academic qualifications are a measure of one's learning experience, he has a string of them, he says. But they are no match for what he has learned from his travels around the world, he adds. He shares with the readers what he learned through the pages of this book.He introduces them to the geopolitical, historical and cultural landscapes of various countries stretching from Argentina to China. He narrates in one English prose the scenic beauty of some of the places he visited and personal stories of some of the people he met. In the course of interacting with those people, he also projects among them the real image of India - the image of a country which, in spite of being multi-religious, multiethnic and multicultural, has remained intact as a single political entity and become the most vibrant democracy in the world. The book is a page turner.

Servant Leaders are the greatest among us. Their humility and instinctively serviceable nature make them resourceful, go-to individuals, friends, advisors, mentors, and the memory of homes, communities, organizations and countries.

O século XX foi marcado pela facilitação de circulação de bens, capitais e pessoas entre países. A integração regional desenvolvida a partir dos blocos de integração regional como União Europeia e Mercosul acabaram por desenvolver economicamente os países que deles fazem parte, havendo ainda, na União Europeia um avanço grande no bloco com a instauração da moeda única. Toda essa facilitação de circulação a partir da relativização das fronteiras acabou também por trazer alguns efeitos nefastos, como o desenvolvimento da criminalidade transnacional e o deslocamento de bens, valores e pessoas ligados aos crimes, o que faz surgir a necessidade de desenvolvimento e aprimoramento dos meios de cooperação jurídica internacional em matéria penal com a finalidade de evitar ao máximo a impunidade e a máxima de que o crime não deve compensar.
