Regional Geography of Pakistan : A Study in Spatial Relations
This book provides an integrated view of each of the four provinces of Pakistan, considered the four micro regions, owing to their relative internal homogeneity and distinctiveness from the adjacent regions.Each chapter of the book deals with a specific province, its physical environment, historic antecedents, contemporary social and economic organisation and potential for future growth. This volume presents an in-depth study of Punjab, stressing on its transformation from a barren pastureland to rich, fertile agricultural land.The mineral-rich western provinces of Baluchistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are subjects of focused study.The penultimate part of the book is a regional study of Sindh, evaluating the role of Indus in the economy of the province, and the contribution of Karachi as a financial and commercial centre.It also outlines the planning and development of the federal capital, Islamabad, a symbol of pride and aspiration of the people of Pakistan. The book would be of immense academic value to students, researchers and teachers interested in area studies and regional planning.With a descriptive analysis of the country’s physical and social characteristics, it would also be a great source of information for professionals working in the tourism sector.

What are relations and mapping rules?
Relations are connections or associations between different sets of data. In the context of databases, relations refer to the way data is organized and linked together. Mapping rules are guidelines or instructions that define how data from one set or table is related to data in another set or table. These rules help establish the relationships between different data elements and ensure consistency and accuracy in the database.

What relations are equivalence relations?
Equivalence relations are relations that satisfy three properties: reflexivity, symmetry, and transitivity. Reflexivity means that every element is related to itself. Symmetry means that if one element is related to another, then the other is related to the first. Transitivity means that if one element is related to another and the second element is related to a third, then the first element is related to the third. Relations that satisfy these three properties are considered equivalence relations. Examples of equivalence relations include "is equal to" and "has the same birthday as."

What are equivalence relations?
Equivalence relations are a type of relation between elements of a set that satisfy three properties: reflexivity, symmetry, and transitivity. Reflexivity means that every element is related to itself. Symmetry means that if one element is related to another, then the other is related to the first. Transitivity means that if one element is related to a second, and the second is related to a third, then the first is related to the third. Equivalence relations are important in mathematics and other fields because they allow us to classify elements of a set into distinct equivalence classes based on their relationships with each other.

What are Byzantine relations?
Byzantine relations refer to the diplomatic, political, and cultural interactions between the Byzantine Empire and other states or entities. These relations were crucial for the Byzantine Empire's survival and influence, as they involved alliances, treaties, trade agreements, and military cooperation with neighboring powers such as the Roman Empire, Persia, Arab Caliphates, and various European kingdoms. Byzantine relations also involved religious and cultural exchanges, as the Byzantine Empire played a significant role in spreading Christianity and preserving classical knowledge. These relations were often complex and constantly evolving, shaping the empire's foreign policy and its place in the wider world.

Transforming PR : Public Relations to People Relations
This book introduces the concept of the Picnic Society – a society which we all belong to today because social media has given us unlimited opportunities to create or destroy our own and our circle’s (our bubble’s) realities, possibilities, and reputations. In today’s world every organization is integrated into society, and the people belonging to organizations are integrated into various continually interacting communities.Social media has – or soon will – erase any remaining boundaries between organizations and the world’s social fabric.It is increasingly pointless for organizations to try to establish relationships with society, because these already exist – 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, and all 365 days of the year.This is what I mean in talking about the transformation of the field of PR – from Public Relations to People Relations.This book discusses the challenges facing public relations professionals working in a contemporary society that is flooded with information, offers endless channels of communication, gives rise to true and false leaders, and is marked by both openness and mistrust, by real and fake news. This book will appeal to professionals who already have a solid grasp of public relations technologies but would like to review their skills and develop their own model of public relations know-how without being limited by the strict boundaries of traditional PR theory.

Mapping the Fault Lines in Turkey-US Relations : Making the Vulnerable Partnership
For the last seventy years, experts have tried to define the nature of Turkey’s partnership with the US.While Turkish-US relations have always been susceptible to different crises, they enjoyed a brief “golden era” in the 1950s.This book argues that a false nostalgia about that period - when the strategic interests of two countries fully converged - has distorted analyses by scholars and policymakers ever since.To provide a more accurate assessment, this book look at the patterns of crises between the two countries throughout history and how these relate to the current points of tension in Turkish-American relations today.It coins a new conceptual framework to understand the Turkey-US partnership: the “vulnerable partnership”.The book outlines the key causes of this vulnerability, showing that for the last 70 years, there have been recurring frictions and faultlines that have been repeated across different political periods.These especially involve the US congress, public opinion, Russia, and crises in the Middle East.Based on journalistic, archival and scholarly sources, the topic of the book is at the intersection foreign policy studies, Middle East politics, the history of Turkish-American relations, and foreign policy making.

What is spatial visualization ability?
Spatial visualization ability refers to the capacity to mentally manipulate and comprehend spatial relationships between objects. Individuals with strong spatial visualization skills can easily visualize and understand how objects relate to each other in space, such as rotating or manipulating shapes in their mind. This ability is crucial in various fields such as engineering, architecture, and mathematics, as it allows individuals to solve complex problems and understand spatial concepts more effectively. Improving spatial visualization ability can enhance problem-solving skills and overall cognitive performance.

What are real societal relations?
Real societal relations refer to the interactions, connections, and dynamics that exist among individuals, groups, and institutions within a society. These relations are shaped by various factors such as power dynamics, cultural norms, economic structures, and historical contexts. They influence how people relate to each other, how resources are distributed, and how social hierarchies are maintained or challenged. Understanding real societal relations is crucial for analyzing social issues, promoting social justice, and fostering positive social change.

What are entities and relations?
Entities are objects or concepts that are distinguishable and can be described. They can be people, places, things, or events. Relations, on the other hand, are connections or associations between entities. They define how entities are related to each other and provide context to their interactions. In a database context, entities are represented as tables and relations are represented as the connections between these tables.

How many relations are there?
The number of relations depends on the context in which the term is being used. In mathematics, a relation between two sets is a collection of ordered pairs, and the number of relations between two finite sets of sizes m and n is 2^(m*n). In a social or personal context, the number of relations could refer to the number of connections or interactions between individuals, which would vary widely depending on the size and complexity of the social network. Therefore, the number of relations can vary greatly depending on the specific context in which the term is being used.
