In Malaysia, a young girl discovers the seeds of friendship turning into love. A ghostly aunt causes more trouble than she’s worth, and a sea-monster yearns for her poolside home. Family secrets confound two widows in Northumberland, and a third turns to the sea for comfort. The stories in Subjunctive Moods are based around those tiny moments of missed connection and of realisation: the heartbeats by which we all grow up. Featuring CG Menon’s prize-winning writing alongside her most recent stories, Subjunctive Moods is a collection exploring the complexities of human relationships, cultural identity, and finding your way back home.

Why are Tara's new friends, Francis and Ria, so freaked out by the night sky? Is their strange and beautiful mother, Mandira, friend or foe? Where is their father? Is he a terrorist or genius? And what, exactly, is the beast with nine billion feet? As Tara and Aditya soon find out, there are no simple answers. They find themselves on very different tracks, caught up in a deadly game-- a struggle for power and control, a fight for the genetic code to life itself.

How do we unlock the power of experimental design thinking to develop drug products? Based on fieldwork, the authors present a practical road map to apply experimental designs within a sequential framework. The case studies and templates harness your ability to problem solve effectively. Experimental design and analysis the authors reveal promote an investigative mindset and answer 'what to do next' in realizing goals. How do we digest data using tabular and graphical analyses? Which mnemonics help us recall design and analysis tools? Equally startling is the author's journey through the common mistakes in the design and analysis of experiments. Armed with an improved ability to approach development systematically, the methods will strengthen the drug development process.
