2020About the Book:- The COVID-19 pandemic has affected most countries in the world. India is among the top three affected nations. Although urban areas were affected first and hit harder, rural India has not remained untouched by the pandemic. Now the COVID-19 cases are increasingly getting reported from semi-urban and rural areas which are particularly vulnerable due to inadequate health services and lack of media attention. The pandemic has impacted rural community in more than one ways. During the lockdown agricultural operations closed due to lack of labour, inputs, transportation and off take of produces leading to loss of income among farmers. Migrant workers from rural areas working in urban locations lost their livelihoods and most of them shifted back to their villages bearing all kinds of hardships resulting in increased unemployment in rural areas. Rural artisans could not sell their artefacts, poor and destitute found it difficult to meet their both ends. Government of India announced economic revival package of Rs. 20 lakh crores including Rs. 1.70 lakh crores as part of Prime Minister Garib Kalyan Yojana to mitigate the hardship faced by people and to revive economy and businesses. Union and State Governments , district administrations, Panchayats, Civil Society Organisations have come together to halt spread of COVID-19 in rural India and minimise its adverse impact. This book has chapters based on analytical and empirical studies on impact of COVID-19 on various dimensions of rural India, contributed by experienced scholars and practitioners from across the country. Chapters describe challenges,opportunities and responses and also prescribe policy and operational measures to enable rural community deal with this crisis better and to be prepared for any such disaster in future. Book will be very useful to scholars , media persons , researchers and policy makers interested in rural development and also disaster management.

2023About The Book : In order that a clear grasp of the subject matter of the text may be obtained, a short explanation of the fast and of the principles upon which its efficacy in the treatment of disease is based is essential. It will also be necessary, for the purpose of defining the distinction that exists between Fasting and Starvation, to discuss in a following chapter the physiological changes developed in the progress of the latter, since, in the popular mind, the two processes involved are vaguely considered as one and the same. Fasting is defined as follows: The voluntary denial of food to a system, which is diseased, and which, because of disease, does not require nourishment until rested, cleansed, and eager again to take up the labor of digestion. Then, and not till then, is food supplied; then, and not till then, does starvation begin. About The Author : Linda Laura Hazzard (1867-1938), nicknamed the "Starvation Doctor" was an American quack, swindler and convicted serial killer noted for her promotion of fasting, pummeling and hours-long enemas as treatments. Hazzard established a "sanitarium" called Wilderness Heights, located in Olalla, Washington, where inpatients fasted for days, weeks, or months on a diet consisting of small amounts of tomato, asparagus juice, and occasionally orange juice.

1665In Napoli per Luc’Antonio di Fusco, 1665. (mm. 203 x 153). Pergamena coeva con titolo manoscritto al dorso. pp. (24), 288, 128, 88, 176, (24). Edizione originale, adornata di una bella tavola f.t. con la genealogia da Adamo, incisa da P. Miotte. Timbro di collegio gesuita al frontespizio. legatura internamente scollata, ma non staccata. Bibl: Elisa Novi Chavarria, Sacro, pubblico e privato. Donne nei secoli XV- XVIII, pp. 24/25 “ Assai cauti nei confronti delle varie estatiche e carismatiche di cui pullulò la città di Napoli tra la fine del ‘500 e i primi decenni del ‘600, i religiosi della Compagnia privilegiarono modelli spirituali legati a culti antichi e consolidati da una lunga tradizione agiografica. Rivisitandoli alla luce dei nuovi orientamenti pastorali non solo ne valorizzavano l’autenticità, ma rafforzavano anche la propria esclusiva capacità di intermediari moltiplicando al contempo, le possibilità di ricorso dei fedeli ai luoghi di culto patrocinati dalla Compagnia. Emblematica in tal senso e la diffusione del culto di S. Anna, celebrata all’interno delle chiese e nelle strade di Napoli grazie a una moltitudine di altari, di edicole votive e nei quadri di devozione privata, nella cui immagine ben più sostanziale rispetto al passato fu il peso accordato dai Gesuiti all’educazione e ai valori del matrimonio, della maternità e della fami- glia. Di S. Anna si esaltò la figura materna, sin dalla fase del concepimento, della gravidanza e del parto, la sua capacità di trasmettere l’educazione cristiana, la profondità dei legami familiari e di solidarietà tra madre e figlia. La sua invocazione era raccomandata in particolare agli sposi e alle donne, secondo modalità in qualche modo concorrenziali alla devozione per il Rosario, patrocinata in quegli stessi anni dai Domenicani “. deantiquislibris@gmail.com 393 8246419
