I cannot resist the temptation of reviewing one such book viz., The Presidential Years 2012-17 by Pranab Mukherjee, the ex-President of India which was published only in January 2021. It was a fascinating experience for me to go through The Presidential Years, 2012-17 (Rupa Publications, 2021) by Pranab Mukherjee, the ex-President of India, who had an unfortunate expiry a few months back. Written in the first person form and published posthumously only in January 2021, the book is a scintillating account of the experience of that veteran statesman and politician of not only what happened during his years of Presidency from 2012 to 2017 but also contained many anecdotes, observations and references to the course of Indian poli- tics during the last several decades. An autobiographical account of an Indian President is not new, as The Wings of Fire, by the late President, A. P. J. Abdul Kalam would tes- tify. But the present work is not an autobiography in the strict sense of the term in the sense Kalam’s work is, which is an autobiography covering the entire span of his life. Nor is it a Diary in the sense of a date by date account of what happened during the said Presidential Years. On the other hand, the major areas are thematically distributed and discussed – with antecedence where necessary, in the inimitable lucid style of writing of Mr. Mukherjee. In this first person accounts the author recollects the challenges he faced during his years as President – “the difficult deci- sions he had to make and the tightrope walk he had to undertake to ensure that both constitutional propriety and his opinion were taken into consideration” (blurb of the book). After completion of his term as President, 4 l Monthly Bulletin, March 2021 President's Column Pranab Mukherjee writes, in the Epilogue the constitutional norms. The Presidential Section, “when I look back on my years as Years is a living testimony of how successfully President, I derive satisfaction from the fact Mukherjee could function as the President of that I followed the rule book in letter and India, fulfilling that role. spirit in dealing with Governments and issues As already noted, the whole gamut of of the date, but also because I never veered experience and activities have been arranged from the constitutional parameters that have thematically delineating the activities in been laid down for an Indian head of states. several areas like Reflections on Parliament, The satisfaction is also from the realization Presidential Addresses, Experiences with that I took several initiatives to expand the the Judiciaries, Foreign Visits and Foreign scope of activities within Rashtrapati Bhavan Policy Issues, Interaction with Leaders, Path and the larger Presidential Estates, most of breaking decisions, President in relation- which yielded tangible results during my ship with his Prime Minister and his overall tenure" (p. 177). assessment of the situation etc. In all these Pranab Mukherjee entered the Parliament narratives, Mukherjee has continuously kept at a young age of 34 and in mind his momentous and from that humble position constitutional role as the he rose to become the thir- President of India, who is teenth President of India.

  • Electronic Solutions to the Problems of Monograph Publishing
    Electronic Solutions to the Problems of Monograph Publishing By Anthony Watkinson Resource: The Council for Museums, Archives and Libraries 2001 Abstract Electronic Solutions to the Problems of Monograph Publishing examines the suggestion that the so-called monograph crisis can be overcome by making use of the possibilities of electronic publishing. Research monographs are the preferred way in which scholarship is communicated in most disciplines in the humanities and some in the social sciences. The problems faced by publishers influence the practices of the scholars themselves. This study examines the nature of the crisis in the print environment, the aspirations of scholarly publishers in the electronic environment and the attitudes of and impacts on other parts of the information chain. There is as yet little experience of electronic monographs, so the emphasis is on the projections of the various players and on the major experiments that are being funded. There is nevertheless consideration of the practical aspects of making content available in digital form. No immediate solution is presented but there are pointers to fruitful future developments. Anthony Watkinson is an independent consultant with three decades of experience in scholarly publishing. He was a pioneer in putting scholarly journals online. He is a visiting professor in information science at City University, London Library and Information Commission Research Report 109 British National Bibliography Research Fund Report 101 © Resource: The Council for Museums, Archives and Libraries 2001 The opinions expressed in this report are those of the author and are not necessarily those of Resource: The Council for Museums, Archives and Libraries BR/010 ISBN 0 85386 267 2 ISSN 1466-2949 ISSN 0264-2972 Available from the Publishers Association at www.publishers.org.uk ii Contents: PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS v EXECUTIVE SUMMARY vi A: Introduction and Context 1.

  • 101 Chapter Books to Read (Or Hear) Before You Grow Up
    101 Chapter Books to Read (or Hear) Before You Grow Up feelslikehomeblog.com /2013/04/101-chapter-books-to-read-before-you-grow-up/ Tara Ziegmont It is worth noting that Grace loves a particular series of fairy books, but I hate them. Hate them. The text is dull and not well written. It’s the book form of candy, empty words without any redeeming intellectual value. There are probably books in your children’s lives that are the same way. Why not feed their little brains with good literature instead of junk books? Just like I limit the junk food in Grace’s belly, I limit the junk books in her brain. I’ll loosen up a little when she’s old enough to read her own books, but as long as I’m doing the reading, we are reading the good stuff. If I am going to take the time to read to Gracie (and I do, every single day), I want to hear her a book that is stimulating. I want a story that draws me in and makes me want to read just one more chapter! I want it to expand what Gracie knows – either in experiences or feelings or understanding of the world. I want a story with layers – something she may come back to again as an older kid or even an adult. There is no junk food here. (There’s also no junk food on my list of 101 Picture Books to Read or Hear Before You Grow Up. ) I’ve read almost every one of these books, either in my own childhood or recently.
