Descriptive Archaeoastronomy and Ancient Indian Chronology
This book presents the basic fundamentals of descriptive archaeoastronomy and its application to the astronomical descriptions found in ancient Indian scriptures. Archaeoastronomy is a branch of positional astronomy that helps to determine the epochs of ancient astronomical alignments and special astronomical events. In this book, only the descriptions of special stellar alignments and events found in ancient texts can identify the antiquity of the descriptions. India possesses a large volume of ancient scriptures like Vedas and Puranas which contain many astronomical descriptions as in ancient India positional astronomy was well developed. The antiquities of these texts are determined through archaeoastronomical techniques. Major events like Mahabharata War are dated and using these dates a chronology of ancient India is determined. The astronomically determined chronology is compared with the results from various archaeological, palaeoclimatological, geological and genealogical investigations of ancient India. This introductory book interests readers interested in unveiling the mystery involved with the protohistory of this ancient civilization.
Amitabha a story of buddhist theology
One evening when King Kanishka together with his friend Charaka enjoyed the company of Açvaghosha, the youthful ruler of Gandhâra turned to the venerable philosopher with this request: "And now, worshipful master, tell us, do we worship in Buddha a god or a man?" Replied Açvaghosha: "Buddha is neither a god nor a man; he is more than either, for he is perfection incarnate. We worship in Buddha wisdom and goodness, that is, the comprehension and application of the truth, which are the qualities that alone render the gods divine. Truth is eternal, but all actual beings, not even excluding the gods, are transient." Charaka interposed: "We do not speak of the gods, but of God, which means div...
Amitabha. A Story of Buddhist Theology
This is a short story set in the first century CE during the height of Buddhism in India. The author uses the story as a frame to discuss Buddhist concepts of God, non-violence and religious tolerance.
Engineering Pedagogy
This book contains selected papers from the symposium on Engineering Pedagogy organised in honour of Professor Amitabha Ghosh and his Lecture Series on Evolution of Classical Mechanics. It covers evolution of mechanics from ancient times to modern days and good pedagogical practices among engineering and science faculty. The content includes chapters on challenges in engineering education, intellectual property rights, professional ethics, manufacturing education, additive manufacturing in engineering curricula, among others. The volume necessitates an efficient and effective pedagogical approach from engineering educators. This book will be of interest to those in teaching across all disciplines of engineering.
Introduction to Dynamics
This book is intended to serve as a text on dynamics for undergraduate students of engineering. The book provides in-depth discussions of the fundamentals of Newtonian mechanics, more commonly known as dynamics. Drawing on the author’s extensive experience in teaching the subject of dynamics at two Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and the Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology (IIEST), the book contains 498 line diagrams, 123 worked-out examples and 222 exercise problems. The answers to select exercise problems are provided at the end of the book. A wealth of detailed illustrations make the book ideally suited for both self self-study and classroom use at both introductory and secondary levels. Thus the book offers a valuable resource for both students and teachers of dynamics, addressing the main topics covered in core level courses on ‘Dynamics’ for students of civil, mechanical and aerospace engineering across the globe.
Conceptual Evolution of Newtonian and Relativistic Mechanics
This book provides an introduction to Newtonian and relativistic mechanics. Unlike other books on the topic, which generally take a 'top-down' approach, it follows a novel system to show how the concepts of the 'science of motion' evolved through a veritable jungle of intermediate ideas and concepts. Starting with Aristotelian philosophy, the text gradually unravels how the human mind slowly progressed towards the fundamental ideas of inertia physics. The concepts that now appear so obvious to even a high school student took great intellectuals more than a millennium to clarify. The book explores the evolution of these concepts through the history of science. After a comprehensive overview o...
Kinematic Analysis and Synthesis of Mechanisms
This text/reference represents the first balanced treatment of graphical and analytical methods for kinematic analysis and synthesis of linkages (planar and spatial) and higher-pair mechanisms (cams and gears) in a single-volume format. A significant amount of excellent German literature in the field that previously was not available in English provides extra insight into the subject. Plenty of solved problems and exercise problems are included to sharpen your skills and demonstrate how theory is put into practice.
Introduction to Analytical Mechanics
This comprehensive, introductory textbook on Analytical Mechanics is designed for both seasoned researchers and budding students of Mechanics. This book meticulously outlines the whole route to analytical treatment of the 'science of motion'. Authored with years of teaching expertise, this book unravels new concepts beyond the traditional Newtonian framework, ensuring clarity for beginners. The book is tailored to focus primarily upon areas essential in a first-level course. Unveil innovative treatments helpful in taking the first-time reader through the labyrinthian path along which often analytical mechanics progresses. Ideal for a semester-long study at senior undergraduate and junior postgraduate levels, our text features ample solved examples to reinforce theoretical applications.
Amitabha Buddha
The story of Amitabha Buddha is here told in the unmistakable art and style of internationally-renowned author and illustrator Demi, and every page shines with her delicate golden artwork.
