Memoir of one of India's most prominent businessmen The pioneer who gate-crashed his way to the top Subhash Chandra, the promoter of Essel/ Zee Group, is an unlikely mogul. Hailing from a small town in Haryana, where his family ran grain mills, Chandra has been a perennial outsider, repeatedly aiming high and breaking into businesses where he was considered an interloper. Starting work as a teen to pay off family debts, Chandra had to rely on bluff, gumption and sheer hard toil to turn things around. A little bit of luck and political patronage saw him make a fortune in rice exports to the erstwhile USSR. Always a risk-taker, Chandra then had the vision of getting into broadcasting early, even as established media players failed to see its potential. His Zee TV, India's first private Indian TV channel, changed the rules of the game and tickled the fancy of a public starved of entertainment. Several gutsy initiatives followed, though not all of them were successful. Chandra's attempts to launch satellite telephony and a cricket league came a cropper. But the man continues to reinvent himself; he is now also focusing on infrastructure and smart cities. This is an unusually candid memoir of a truly desi self-made businessman who came to Delhi at age twenty with seventeen rupees in his pocket. Today, he has a net worth of $6.3 billion and annual group revenues of about $3 billion.

Innovative, young, and ambitious, Generation Z is ready to make an impact on the world. But they are far different from past generations, and business leaders need to adjust their workplace practices to help this new group of workers succeed. The Z Factor: How to Lead Gen Z to Workplace Success centers around a generation that many professionals don't even have on their radar. Gen Zers, born in 1997 and beyond, are bringing unique skills, values, and mindsets to work. Author Rohin Shahi noticed that many think Gen Zers are simply "millennials on steroids." As a Gen Zer himself, he wanted to shed light on a generation that has been largely mislabeled and stereotyped. You will love this book if you are curious about this newest group of workers, whether you're a Gen Zer yourself or an experienced business leader who wants to create a welcoming, sustainable and growth-oriented culture for the next generation of workers. Drawing from experienced industry psychologists, recent studies, and personal insight, Shahi provides a simple approach to bridging generational gaps and helping Gen Z grow and thrive.

Natural products are a constant source of potentially active compounds for the treatment of various disorders. The Middle East and tropical regions are believed to have the richest supplies of natural products in the world. Plant derived secondary metabolites have been used by humans to treat acute infections, health disorders and chronic illness for tens of thousands of years. Only during the last 100 years have natural products been largely replaced by synthetic drugs. Estimates of 200 000 natural products in plant species have been revised upward as mass spectrometry techniques have developed. For developing countries the identification and use of endogenous medicinal plants as cures against cancers has become attractive. Books on drug discovery will play vital role in the new era of disease treatment using natural products.

"When I grow up I wanna be a musician, an NFL quarterback, a CEO, a....” How’s that childhood dream working out? Most of us learn to discard our “outlandish” childhood dreams as we mature. It’s part of growing up, right? No, you can still sell millions of your invention, be a company president, become an author, or sign an NFL contract—anything, anytime, regardless of your experience or education. Edwin J. Sprague has...in fact, he’s done them all! Unlike the Law of Attraction, The Z Factor is anything but elusive or indescribable. “Z” is the extraordinary effort ordinary people can generate to turn dreams into reality. Is it time to finally be what you dreamt you’d be when you grew up? If so, it’s time to harness the absolute power of Z. No affirmations here—just humorous, motivating, and gritty stories about: Why too much learning can kill your dreams, and how Tactical Ignorance keeps them alive. Raising your ZQ (ballsy [ball-zee] quotient) and introducing your ideas to life’s realities. A Perpetual Motion Machine and the 10 tactics that'll take you to the next level—repeatedly Landing a whale (QVC), Feeding the Tuna Mayo, N.Y.

Gas reservoir engineering is the branch of reservoir engineering that deals exclusively with reservoirs of non-associated gas. The prime purpose of reservoir engineering is the formulation of development and production plans that will result in maximum recovery for a given set of economic, environmental and technical constraints. This is not a one-time activity but needs continual updating throughout the production life of a reservoir.The objective of this book is to bring together the fundamentals of gas reservoir engineering in a coherent and systematic manner. It is intended both for students who are new to the subject and practitioners, who may use this book as a reference and refresher. Each chapter can be read independently of the others and includes several, completely worked exercises. These exercises are an integral part of the book; they not only illustrate the theory but also show how to apply the theory to practical problems.Chapters 2, 3 and 4 are concerned with the basic physical properties of reservoirs and natural gas fluids, insofar as of relevance to gas reservoir engineering. Chapter 5 deals with the volumetric estimation of hydrocarbon fluids in-place and the recoverable hydrocarbon reserves of gas reservoirs. Chapter 6 presents the material balance method, a classic method for the analysis of reservoir performance based on the Law of Conservation of Mass. Chapters 7-10 discuss various aspects of the flow of natural gas in the reservoir and the wellbore: single phase flow in porous and permeable media; gaswell testing methods based on single-phase flow principles; the mechanics of gas flow in the wellbore; the problem of water coning, the production of water along with the gas in gas reservoirs with underlaying bottom water. Chapter 11 discusses natural depletion, the common development option for dry and wet gas reservoirs. The development of gas-condensate reservoirs by gas injection is treated in Chapter 12.Appendix A lists the commonly used units in gas reservoir engineering, along with their conversion factors. Appendix B includes some special physical and mathematical constants that are of particular interest in gas reservoir engineering. Finally, Appendix C contains the physical properties of some common natural-gas components.
