Sustainable Tourism in Amitav Ghosh’s ‘The Hungry Tide
The concept of sustainable tourism has garnered increasing attention in recent times due to the increasing impact of tourism on the environment and the communities.

Rachel Reviews: Where or When by Anita Shreve
I read Anita Shreve now with a bittersweet-ness born of the knowledge that there is only a finite amount of her books left to read and that I know that it will be a powerful read that I will thoroughly enjoy.

Being able to remember these skills can quite literally be a matter of life and death. With this in mind, a 2006 research study took a class of surgical residents who were learning to suture arteries and split the class into two groups. Each received the same study materials, but one group implemented a small change in how they studied them. And when tested one month later, this group performed the surgeries significantly better than the other residents.
