Ladakh A wanderer's spectacle
Ladakh! The name conjures up images of a barren land with arid terrain, jagged peaks, and pristine lakes. Ladakh has been accorded an almost mythical status by the people who know of it—apparent from the fact that the place is sometimes referred to as Shangri-La.In this illustrated book, the author captures the various hues and topographical nuances of Ladakh’s alluring and awe-inspiring landscapes in a passionate response to the site. Splendid compositions and panoramas take the reader on a visual experience akin to being transported to the ‘land of high passes’ that is Ladakh.Nevertheless, the author feels that the mythical image of the place has been detrimental to the people of the land. Few studies have dealt with how the landscape shapes the life of the people making a living there and the problems they face. This volume thus also gives voice to the common folk, delineating how traditions of frugality and cooperation, coupled with detailed location-specific knowledge, has enabled Ladakhis to thrive.Ladakh: A Wanderer’s Spectacle stands as an ode to the natural brilliance of the land and the sheer determination of the people who inhabit it.

The original text is a mixture of prose and verse, with the stories contained in one of five frame stories.

It is estimated that the combines sales of both these Oracle products account for more than 80% of RDBMS engines sold worldwide.A very large amount of commercial applications are developed around these products. Most ERP software such as SAP R3, Avalon, Marshall, PeopleSoft, Oracle Applications and a host of other such client software work with the Oracle RDBMS engine worldwide.Whether a corporate entity chooses to use Oracle Work Group of Enterprise Server, the natural programming language of both of these products in ANSI SQL and PL/SQL. This book has been written to address the need of programmers who wish to have a ready reference book, with examples, which covers ANSI SQL and PL/SQL.The creating of User Defined Functions, Procedures, Database triggers and other specific data processing PL/SQL code blocks for commercial applications will always required programmers who can code comfortably in ANSI SQL and PL/SQL.Exception handling, Oracle's default locking and User defined locking has been covered in a fair amount of detail.
