Obnoxious Lockdown
A curious mind and a bad attitude land Carlos Mason in jail for something that he didn't do. Carlos Mason, a sixteen-year-old juvenile, gets arrested by a drug task force team that has him labeled as a drug dealer. Carlos is innocent of all charges against him and is not a drug dealer, but he gets taken to jail anyway for his obnoxious behavior toward the officers. Once Carlos goes to court to explain his innocence, he goes verbally wild on the judge for not taking his side of the situation, which quickly turns an overnight stay behind bars into a two-year incarceration, where he comes face-to-face with some of the most aggressive and dangerous inmates in the country. But with Carlos being an aggressive person as well and with very little fear in his heart, he refuses to be intimidated by the inmates' ferocious approach toward him. Carlos must quickly learn how to survive among the inmates if he wants any chance of getting back to the outside world alive. While in lockdown, Carlos becomes a master of reverse psychology, but before he can use it, he must learn to respect the people around him that have very different mind-sets and different mentalities. The story takes an unexpected turn toward a very shocking ending.
Indigo Mansion
The raging pandemic has forced the Kumar family to stay together in a stern, thirty-day lockdown. Mr. Kumar, an intellectual professor; Kamala, his eccentric wife; Chhavi, her crafty sister, and others constantly butt heads, often creating hilarious situations. If that wasn’t enough, enter Bhavish, a curious little guest, who adds to this hullabaloo. Each day brings a new situation to a head, making them experience varied emotions. Eventually, they all come to fathom each other’s true stances and intentions. Several peculiar characters join the chaos going on inside Indigo Mansion, the huge ancestral house of the Kumars, which, by the way, has a fascinating history of its own!
International Handbook of Disaster Research
This handbook is a comprehensive source of information, analysis and directions in disaster studies. It goes beyond the oft-explored issues of management and science related to the topic and explores policies, governance, law and decision-making combined with the processes of implementation and enforcement, all the while integrating the latest science and technology updates related to the topic, such as artificial intelligence and early warning systems. It brings together studies which relate to sociology, politics and institutional economics, which work under the impact of resource availability, issues of leadership and international laws. Disasters are trans-boundary and disaster studies are trans-disciplinary. It is this aspect which would form the fulcrum of contributions and present a new, refreshing and innovative design for the handbook. The transformatory pedagogy which started with the Hyogo Framework for action 2005-2015 and The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 outlines seven clear targets and four priorities for action to prevent new and reduce existing disaster risks. The four priority areas around which the book would revolve are (i) Understanding disaster risk; (ii) Strengthening disaster risk governance to manage disaster risk; (iii) Investing in disaster reduction for resilience and; (iv) Enhancing disaster preparedness for effective response, and to "Build Back Better" in recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction.
