“There are not many books of this nature and kind in India on the history of scientific research coming straight from the participating scientist himself. In that sense the book-‘A Life of a physicist in agricultural research: A Professional autobiography’ by Professor Anil Vishnu Moharir makes a significant contribution in chronicling the work done by him in the Indian context. Efforts put in by Professor Moharir would motivate many young and bright students of physics to foray in the field of biology and agriculture for a satisfying career and opportunities for innovative and original research contribution to their credit”. – Dr. Vijay Digambar Garde, Ph.D. Moscow, Retd.

The world has always been intrigued by the enigmatic. One such mystifying concept that has gripped the human psyche since ages is the concept of 'soul'. The idea of soul, life after death, and reincarnation has long been a tantalizing subject for religious preachers, scientists, and the common man. In this splendid work, Dr Anil Moharir has presented a holistic, multidisciplinary overview of the much contested subjects of 'soul' and 'rebirth' guided by his scientific instincts.

Astronomer Royal Martin Rees shows how the behaviour and origins of the universe can be explained by just six numbers. How did a single genesis event create billions of galaxies, black holes, stars and planets? How did atoms assemble - here on Earth, and perhaps on other worlds - into living beings intricate enough to ponder their origins? This book describes the recent avalanche of discoveries about the universe's fundamental laws, and the deep connections that exist between stars and atoms - the cosmos and the microscopic world. Just six numbers, imprinted in the big bang, determine the essence of our world, and this book devotes one chapter to explaining each.
The increasing impact of neoliberalism across the globe means that a complex interplay of democratic, economic and managerial rationalities now frame the parameters and practices of community development. This book explores how contemporary politics, and the power relations it reflects and projects, is shaping the field today. This first title in the timely Rethinking Community Development series presents unique and critical reflections on policy and practice in Taiwan, Australia, India, South Africa, Burundi, Germany, the USA, Ireland, Malawi, Ecuadorian and Peruvian Amazonia and the UK. It addresses the global dominance of neoliberalism, and the extent to which practitioners, activists and programmes can challenge, critique, engage with or resist its influence. Addressing key dilemmas and challenges being navigated by students, academics, professionals and activists, this is a vital intellectual and practical resource.
