IN May 2000 I returned with a group of my classmates to our school in the Nilgiris. Even 20 years back May was a crowded month in the hills. But in those days we had never encountered traffic crawling all the way up the ghat road. It was almost as if we
were inching our way over one of the flyovers in Chennai or Mumbai.
Company speak
ORGANISATIONAL communication as a discipline has witnessed a tremendous growth over the latter part of the twentieth century. And accompanying that growth has been a struggle to establish a clear identity for the field. Even as we enter a new millennium,
the scholars continue to define and redefine the focus, boundaries, and future of the field in the complex and changing global environment.
Patterns of survival
FROM time immemorial, traditional industries has become an anchor of artistic craftsmanship and are a generator of employment opportunities. Historically, the dexterity of Indian handlooms had defied the demarcation of national boundaries. Handloom weavi

ent. Of late, social research scholars have pointed out that handloom weaving has survived through its innate resilience, flexibility and adaptability.

ARE 100 million Americans and 500 million people worldwide exposed to potentially harmful radiation every time they use a cell phone? This book is a gripping narrative of scientific detection that answers this and other troubling questions, while also te
lling a disturbing tale of governmental neglect, corporate manipulation, and personal tenacity and courage.
