The Path to Redemption
The Path to Redemption traces the life of the protagonist, Shivaji Joshi, along with happenings in modern India in the post-independence era. Shivaji’s childhood revolves around his single mother who is a brilliant academic. In his early life and college years, Shivaji spends a great deal of time under the influence of his mother’s brother, who is a closet homosexual and a religious bigot. This influence leads Shivaji to do things that he eventually regrets, spending the rest of his life trying to redeem himself. He suffers great physical pain and mental anguish during his life, and the loss of family, betrayal, as well as violence that he experiences, test his resolve beyond measure. At what price will redemption come? Will Shivaji find the peace he seeks?
Wages of Violence
When Bombay changed its name to Mumbai in 1995, it was the culmination of a long process that transformed India's primary symbol of modernity and cultural diversity into a site of intense ethnic conflict and violent nationalism. Wages of Violence is a startling account of how the city's atmosphere, dominant public languages, and power structures have changed since the 1960s. The book centers on how Shiv Sena, a militant Hindu movement, has advanced a new, ''plebeian'' political culture and has undermined democratic rule in India's premier city. Drawing on a large body of archival material and conversations with people from all walks of life, Thomas Blom Hansen paints a vivid picture of this ...
Static and Dynamic Analysis of Structures
This book is concerned with the static and dynamic analysis of structures. Specifi cally, it uses the stiffness formulated matrix methods for use on computers to tackle some of the fundamental problems facing engineers in structural mechanics. This is done by covering the Mechanics of Structures, its rephrasing in terms of the Matrix Methods, and then their Computational implementation, all within a cohesivesetting. Although this book is designed primarily as a text for use at the upper-undergraduate and beginning graduate level, many practicing structural engineers will find it useful as a reference and self-study guide. Several dozen books on structural mechanics and as many on matrix meth...
Shape Memory Polymers for Aerospace Applications
Shape memory polymer chemistry and design for active materials and morphing structuresCovers shape memory in polymers, alloys and composites, including models and testing Essential equations for analysis of the structure, behavior and properties of SMPsMany graphs and figures in full color A technical analysis of shape-memory polymers (SMPs) and their composites, particularly in adaptive materials, this volume introduces designs linking SMPs to metals, elastomers, foams, nanoparticles and other materials, as well as the engineering of SMPs directly into parts and active (morphing) components. Attention is given to controlled structures activated by light, heat, electricity and other energy s...
Healthy Living through "Dosha Healing"
A health fiction based on hard facts and centuries old knowledge that will touch you. As you turn the pages and get intimate with the lives of each of the friends, you will find yourself drawing parallels to your own self and your life.
Smart Structures Theory
This book focuses on smart materials and structures, which are also referred to as intelligent, adaptive, active, sensory, and metamorphic. The ultimate goal is to develop biologically inspired multifunctional materials with the capability to adapt their structural characteristics, monitor their health condition, perform self-diagnosis and self-repair, morph their shape, and undergo significant controlled motion.

TALES OF BARD PARKER
“I located and dissected the testes in that massive tumour. It was like hunting and searching a needle in a desert.” “Dear, what is LBW?” asked my wife Kamal. I replied, “It is one way a batman is out in cricket. It is not libido below waist!” I teased her. “Shut up!” She rebuked. “You, dirty old man!” Events that make you smile and laugh, even in solitude. You just won’t be able to put the book down.
