These diseases can either be common diseases or may be chronic diseases to which mankind has been subject, all over the World. But as long as you have onions on hand, why do you need to suffer? This book is going to tell you all about the number of diseases which can be cured through onions and onion juice. It is also going to tell you all about why it is necessary for you to have lots of onions in your daily diet – especially raw. You are also going to learn that onions, since ancient times, have been used to prevent infections, contagious diseases, chronic ailments, and other useful and beneficial information about that common vegetable/herb – the onion. In ancient times onions were always eaten fresh, plucked from the ground and eaten within one hour of their harvesting. It was believed that the potency of the onion would keep for just one hour after it had been harvested, and the longer the onion was stored outside the ground, the lesser you would benefit from its naturally powerful curative properties. When we think of all those onions being stored away for months, before they are sent to the market or exported to other parts of the World, one wonders about how much of their natural goodness has been dissipated into the fresh air. But even so, when we eat the onions – possibly three months after they have been harvested – we find them strong, pungent, and we reassure ourselves that all right, these onions are full of flavor and natural goodness.

Pliny's Natural History is an astonishingly ambitious work that ranges from astronomy to art and from geography to zoology. Mingling acute observation with often wild speculation, it offers a fascinating view of the world as it was understood in the first century AD, whether describing the danger of diving for sponges, the first water-clock, or the use of asses' milk to remove wrinkles. Pliny himself died while investigating the volcanic eruption that destroyed Pompeii in AD 79, and the natural curiosity that brought about his death is also very much evident in the Natural History - a book that proved highly influential right up until the Renaissance and that his nephew, Pliny the younger, described 'as full of variety as nature itself'.

The book covers different issues in agriculture. The author has pooled the knowledge of many experts and practitioners in the field of agriculture and allied sectors. The main Aims and Objectives covered in the book are: 1) Enhance Production and Productivity for food and nutritional security, 2) Improve profitability through agro-processing and value addition and 3) Sustainability through training, skill development, entrepreneurship and communication. Stagnation in productivity, shrinking farm size, inadequate market infrastructure including warehousing and cold storage, and erosion of the foundations of sustainable agriculture such as soil and gene erosion, water logging, drop in ground water table and decline in surface irrigation are the areas that need urgent attention. There is need to pay attention to rural non-farm enterprises. All these issues in-depth have been covered under 40 chapters in the book. I am confident that the book would be of immense help to farmers, field officials, students and many others who directly or indirectly involved with agriculture and rural development.

Between 1940 and 1945, thousands of African Americans migrated from the South to the East Bay Area of northern California in search of the social and economic mobility that was associated with the region's expanding defense industry and its reputation for greater racial tolerance. Drawing on fifty oral interviews with migrants as well as on archival and other written records, Abiding Courage examines the experiences of the African American women who migrated west and built communities there. Gretchen Lemke-Santangelo vividly shows how women made the transition from southern domestic and field work to jobs in an industrial, wartime economy. At the same time, they were struggling to keep their families together, establishing new households, and creating community-sustaining networks and institutions. While white women shouldered the double burden of wage labor and housework, black women faced even greater challenges: finding houses and schools, locating churches and medical services, and contending with racism. By focusing on women, Lemke-Santangelo provides new perspectives on where and how social change takes place and how community is established and maintained.
