Relevance of Political Theory
In the absence of a philosophic framework, a theory is bound to be without direction and barren of meaning. Enclosed in nothing but an empirical framework, political theory is a contradiction in terms and a monstrosity. The craze for professional and specialized political theory that is relevant to society has been pushed to such an extreme degree that it has lost its 'conscience.' This book - based on research in India - maintains that political theory ought to be rooted in value premises, and factual knowledge ought to supplement its dimensions. A value-fact confluence model, where values are pivotal, would be a more relevant style in political theory, towards the building of a sane society. Theory is, at its best, an indicator, an illumination, an explanation, or a clue to the understanding of politics. It is, to a great extent, a mere derivation of the cultural values, and the social and economic conditions. To construct a bridge between political theory and political practice is an intricate task.

Challenges and Opportunities in Agrometeorology
The global food security and sustainable agriculture are the key challenges before the scientific community in the present era of enhanced climate variability, rapidly rising population and dwindling resources. No part of the world is immune from meteorological extremes of one sort or another posing threat to the food security. Agrometeorology has to make most efficient use of the opportunities available in achieving the objectives of enhancing productivity and maintenance of sustainability. Increased awareness and technological advancement have provided opportunities to develop efficient agrometeorological services that can help cope with risks. These include improvements in weather forecasting, better understanding of the monsoon variability and crop-weather relationships, advances in operational agrometeorology and agrometeorological information systems, adaptation strategies to climate change and improved risk evaluation and management. This book based on an International Workshop held in New Delhi, India should be of interest to all organizations and agencies interested in agrometeorological applications.
High-Impact Weather Events over the SAARC Region
This book is a compilation of papers contributed by researchers and scientists from SAARC nations and deals with high-impact weather conditions, their prediction and potential consequences for populations in the SAARC region. There have been a number of recent advances in our understanding and prediction of cyclones, severe thunderstorms, squalls, heat and cold waves, droughts and heavy rainfall, based on the latest observational data and NWP modeling platform. The SAARC region is vulnerable to high-impact weather events because of geophysical features like high mountains, plateaus and vast oceans. As our climate continues to change over the coming years, the likelihood of extreme and potentially high-impact weather and climate events will be at its highest when natural and anthropogenic effects combine. All chapters were written by leading experts in their respective research and operational fields. The book reviews the latest research, future needs, forecasting skills and societal impacts of extreme weather events and offers high-quality reference material for weather forecasters, disaster managers and researchers.
