In the first US edition of Satish Kumar's classic book, we rediscover how our spiritual and social well-being connects to that of our planet.Internationally-respected peace and environment activist Satish Kumar has been gently setting the agenda for change for over 50 years. As 350.org founder Bill McKibben says, "There is no one on the planet better-equipped to make you think and rethink how you're living and how you might change." The age of sustainability is grounded on the knowledge that we ourselves are very much part of nature; that what we do to nature we in fact do to ourselves; and that the earth has a soul, which we share. Drawing on the example of Rabindranath Tagore, Kumar advocates living with awareness that our personal choices have political and poetic resonance. In this book, he inspires readers with the knowledge we are all leaders and can create change in our structures and mindsets for lasting peace and a sustainable culture and society. Celebrating an emerging global consciousness that reveres nature, the book explores how, as a global society, we need to embrace diversity and be aware of our role as pilgrims on this earth. Joyful and heart-centered, Satish Kumar reminds us that to bring about change in the world, we must embody the change we wish to see.

The book is designed to highlight the utility of supramolecular systems in diverse areas such as sensing of ionic and molecular analytes, aggregation, artificial molecular machines, biology, and medicine. The synthetic chemistry of a diverse set of supramolecules encompassing various supramolecular interactions involved in driving macrocyclic architectures is discussed. Attempts have been made to cover unique features of macrocycles viz. control over shape, size, and valency along with supramolecular interactions, which direct complex supramolecular systems. The book also provides a discussion on the similarity between macrocyclic host-guest systems and biomolecules, which lay the foundation of building modern artificial molecular motors and switches like protein machines for application in diverse areas. The authors hope that the book will appeal to a wider audience of students and researchers in academics and/or industries.

"Lessons from a life of activism and mindfulness for navigating social, political, and ecological crises"--

Protein aggregation and deposition in different tissues culminates in a wide range of diseases like Alzheimer¿s, Parkinson¿s. Aggregated proteins poses challenges to pharmaceutical industries also, where formation of inclusion bodies reduces the yield and shelf-life of recombinant proteins. Thus understanding the mechanism of protein aggregation and inhibition is urgently required to delineate the pathogenicity linked with several diseases and to circumvent the problems associated with the isolation and long term storage of biopharmaceutical protein drugs. Here, we proposed the aggregation mechanism of hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL) at alkaline condition. We also employed several additives like chemical surfactants and chitotriose, a competitive inhibitor of lysozyme to inhibit the HEWL aggregation at alkaline condition. We not only successfully inhibited the HEWL aggregation but also retained its activity at harsh condition. We also revealed that Thioflavin T is not a specific probe for amyloid but it can show enhanced fluorescence with cellular components. Present work will put a new insight into protein misfolding and aggregation and approaches towards therapeutic intervention.
