Anyone who has lived with a pet dog knows they are a constant, unconditional source of joy and love. When cared for properly and raised in a healthy environment, dogs truly become your best friends and live longer, happier lives.
While the number of dog parents and aspiring dog owners in India continues to rise, limited access to reliable knowledge about dog care holds many back. Would-be dog parents hesitate to take the step, and even experienced pet parents often make poor choices despite their best intentions.
In Raising a Happy Dog, Akshay Mahendru bridges this knowledge gap, helping dog parents raise healthier, happier dogs. The book covers all practical aspects of dog parenting—from general well-being and training to grooming, preventive health measures, travelling, boarding, and more.
The book has been structured keeping a new dog parent in mind. The topics flow in the order of challenges, beginning from the decision to bring a puppy home, to caring for a new puppy, to grooming, health, and socialization needs as a puppy matures into a bigger dog, and finally caring for an ageing dog. Along the way, we cover important lifestyle topics like dog boarding and travelling with your dog, both domestically and internationally. The entire book has been written keeping the Indian dog parent in mind, which will easily extend to dog parents across the Indian subcontinent.

Why did the “stagflation” of the 1970s—the improbable combination of high unemployment and runaway inflation—prove so painful and protracted? What explains the U.S. stock market’s remarkable forty-year run of 12 percent average annual returns since then? Why is Japan still mired in a decades-long recession—and the Chinese economy in a tailspin? And what accounts for the resilience of U.S. stock and labor markets in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and in the face of the Fed’s record interest rate hikes? Donald H. Chew, Jr., argues that answers to these questions lie in the principles and methods of “modern corporate finance.” Ideas formulated and tested by finance scholars—notably, an efficient stock market in which prices reflect the long-run values of public companies and a “market for corporate control” that exerts continuous pressure on management—informed and spurred the investor-driven capitalism that has created the world’s most productive and valuable companies. Drawing on his career-long relationships with leading academics and practitioners, Chew profiles key figures in the development of modern corporate finance while emphasizing their counterintuitive lessons for shareholders, companies, and countries. Corporate efficiency and value creation, he contends, are the fundamental source of the social wealth essential to addressing challenges such as poverty and climate change. Lively and provocative, this book makes corporate finance approachable—and even admirable—for readers interested in how the success and failure of companies affect their lives.

Raghunath Dhondo Karve was among the stormy and controversial figures of his time in Maharashtra. Born to Dhondo Keshav Karve, a social reformer who advocated for women’s rights and widow remarriage, RD Karve studied the subjects of birth control and the science of lovemaking. In 1927, Raghunath started the Samaaj Sawaasthya (Health of the Society) magazine in Marathi. The thoughts he propagated through this magazine were too radical for the society of his time and the orthodoxy who often raised obstacles and filed several cases against him. Originally written in Marathi by Dr Anant Deshmukh, and translated by Nadeem Khan, RD Karve: The Champion of Individual Liberty is a meticulously researched biography of a reformer and a social criticism of the times.
