This book contains many of the most significant cases in UFO history. A UFO is defined as a mysterious object seen in the sky for which it is claimed no orthodox scientific explanation can be found, often supposed to be a vehicle carrying extraterrestrials. Scientists have tried to provide logical explanations for most UFO reports. For example, in many cases, a reported UFO later was identified as a meteor, a planet, a rocket, a star, an artificial satellite, or a weather balloon. Aircraft or their exhaust trails, seen under unusual lighting conditions, have also been reported as UFOs. In addition, atmospheric conditions may produce optical illusions that are described as UFOs. While reading this book, it must be understood that these are only unsolved UFO cases and therefore these in no way support the existence of UFOs. It is nonetheless very important to find suitable scientific evidence before drawing any conclusion on UFOs.

World Bank literature is more than a concept -- it is a provocation, a call to arms. It is intended to prompt questions about each word, to probe globalization, political economy, and the role of literary and cultural studies. As asserted in this major work, it signals a radical rewriting of academic debates, a rigorous analysis of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and a consideration of literature that deals with new global realities. Made more relevant than ever by momentous antiglobalization demonstrations in Seattle and Genoa, World Bank Literature brings together essays by a distinguished group of economists, cultural and literary critics, social scientists, and public policy analysts to ask how to understand the influence of the World Bank/IMF on global economic power relations and cultural production. The authors attack this question in myriad ways, examining World Bank/IMF documents as literature; their impact on developing nations; the relationship between literature and globalization; the connection between the academy and the global economy; and the emergence of coalitions confronting the new power. World Bank Literature shows, above all, the multifarious and sometimes nefarious ways that abstract academic debates play themselves out concretely in social policy and cultural mores that reinforce traditional power structures.
English. Rashmi. Varma. In this essay I explore the ways in which contemporary
cultural and literary writing in English from India represents economic
development. Development in this discourse emerges as an idea that articulates
modernity, ... this essay will examine how such a paradox is resolved and
accommodated within the discourse of economic development and globalization,
as produced in the recent body of Indian writing in English.2 Gayatri Chakravorty
