Encounter and Interventions
The advent of colonialism and its associated developments has been characterized as one of the most defining moments in the history of South Asia. The arrival of Christian missionaries has not only been coeval to colonial rule, but also associated with development in the region. Their encounter, critique, endeavour and intervention have been very critical in shaping South Asian society and culture, even where they did not succeed in converting people. Yet, there is precious little space spared for studying the role and impact of missionary enterprises than the space allotted to colonialism. Isolated individual efforts have focused on Bengal, Madras, Punjab and much remains to be addressed in...
Elegant Simplicity
“A profound and accessible guide to an ecological civilization of peace, material sufficiency, and spiritual abundance for all.” —David Korten, international-bestselling author of When Corporations Rule the World Consumerism drives the pursuit of happiness in much of the world, yet as wealth grows unhappiness abounds, compounded by the grave problems of climate change, pollution, and ecological degradation. We’ve now reached both an environmental and spiritual dead-end that leaves us crying out for alternatives. Elegant Simplicity provides a coherent philosophy of life that weaves together simplicity of material life, thought, and spirit. In it, Satish Kumar, environmental thought le...
FUNDAMENTALS OF OPTICAL FIBRE COMMUNICATION
Optical fibre communication is fast crossing the boundaries of research laboratories, and attaining the threshold of real-life applicability. The book attempts to provide a thorough understanding of the fundamentals of optical fibre communication. Organized into seven chapters, this book begins with a discussion of planar dielectric waveguide, and proceeds to discuss optical fibre and the propagation of light through it. It also covers Erbium Doped Fibre Amplifier (EDFA), semiconductor optical sources and detectors, fibre optic communication systems, and fibre optic measurements. This book is primarily intended as a text for undergraduate students of Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, and Telecommunication Engineering. The book would also prove to be of immense benefit to postgraduate students of Physics, and those preparing for AMIE and AMIETE exams.
DIGITAL COMMUNICATION
The book, organised in ten chapters, comprehensively presents the concepts pertaining to digital communication in a very simplified manner. Mathematical intricacies of ideas which form the bedrock of digital communication such as sampling, baseband data transmission, information theory, error control coding, and modulation are presented in a style understandable to an undergraduate student. Each and every topic, no matter how simple it seems, is followed by solved examples. Besides, additional information on certain topics are provided in appropriate annexures. Thus, the flow of the topics is not interrupted with unnecessary deviations from the viewpoint of an average student, whereas at the...
Practical Physical Chemistry
Physical Chemistry deals with the relations between the physical properties of substances and their composition. The present book is intended to serve as a practical manual for undergraduate and post graduate students. I have attempted to assemble the list of experiments from my experience and also have drawn upon the experience of the students who have undergone these laboratory courses and felt the inadequacy of the existing syllabus. I am aware that I have not yet exhausted all the experiments that they wanted to place in this book but I had to make a selection keeping the size in consideration.This manual is largely structured around the standard experiments of physical chemistry. Detailed information on instrumentation, kinetics, experimental methods and data analysis has been covered. I will be happier to take all comments and incorporate them in the further editions.
Soil · Soul · Society
We are all members of a one-earth society, and caring for the earth and soul is interrelated. This is the message of Satish Kumar, the internationally-respected peace and environment activist who has been gently setting the agenda for change for over 50 years. In Soil, Soul & Society, Satish presents the new trinity for our age of sustainability. One that shares the knowledge that we ourselves are very much part of nature; that what we do to nature we in fact do to ourselves; and that the earth is soulful. In this book, he inspires readers with the knowledge we are all leaders and can create change. He urges readers to create a new consciousness that reveres nature and explores how, as a global society, we need to embrace diversity and become pilgrims on this earth not tourists. To bring about change in the world we must be the change we wish to see.
Pilgrimage for Peace
Perfect for those interested in peaceful activism, pilgrimage, spirituality and autobiographies.
Colonial and Post-Colonial Geographies of India
This collection of original essays by scholars of geography from India, Western Europe, and the USA provides important insights into the way contemporary geographers are engaging with India. The earlier narrow colonial focus that saw India as a country of resources and "peoples" (tribes and castes) has now been discarded for a broader view located in mainstream intellectual frameworks and informed by a public policy perspective. This volume highlights how contemporary geographers see and write on topics such as the state, nation, community, environment, and division of labor, while keeping in mind issues of spatiality and territoriality.

Resource Management, Sustainable Development and Governance
This book examines the relationship between natural resource management, sustainable development, and governance with case studies from India and other places covering disaster risk reduction, conflict resolution, capacity building, climate change adaptation and resilience, citizen engagement and ecological conservation. Though the studies focus mostly on cases in India, the volume discusses how governance can be employed to help develop and implement sustainable practices globally through the lens of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) framework. Readers will learn how to integrate concepts of resource management, sustainable development, and governance to improve human resilience to global environmental change, and to assess the proper development approaches to assist economically stressed and resource-deprived individuals. The book will be of use to graduate students and academics, policy makers, planners, and nonprofits.
