The fight against global hunger demands a fresh perspective. Lesser-known legumes, often called 'potential pulses', can play a pivotal role. These underutilized powerhouses, including adzuki bean, bambara groundnut, faba bean, cowpea, grass pea and horse gram, among others, are currently untapped resources. Their potential goes beyond their ability to thrive in harsh environments (caused by high temperature, drought, etc.) and fix nitrogen. With increased understanding of these legumes and...

Depth Psychology and Criminality: Jungian Insights into Symbolic and Psychogenic Offending is an operational imperative. This landmark volume retools criminal justice professionals with a deeper grammar of human violence. Integrating Jungian depth psychology with frontline forensic science, it reveals crime as a symbolic act of psychic fracture—where ritualistic crimes stem from unintegrated archetypes, shadow drives, and mythic self-narratives. This work radically advances investigative p...
