Volume 2: Handbook of Spatio-Temporal Monitoring of Water Resources and Climate is aimed to describe the current state of knowledge and developments of geospatial technologies (Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems) for assessing and managing water resources under climate change. It is a collective achievement of renowned researchers and academicians working in the Hindu Kush Himalayan (HKH) mountain range. The HKH region is a part of the Third Pole outside the polar regions due to its largest permanent snow cover. Importantly, the Himalayan belt is geologically fragile and vulnerable to geohazards (e.g. landslides, land subsidence, rockfalls, debris flow, avalanches, and earthqu...
This book is an attempt to look at the ordinary IITians, the dreams they had, the hardships and challenges they faced, and the difference they made, as told by the IITians themselves. The book does not seek to glorify any particular IITian or focus on individual accomplishments. Instead, it looks at the stories of IITians from the first graduating class of 1955 till today . The book is a chronicle of the history of IITs in a uniquely personal way and their contributions to India and, in fact, the whole world. It looks at the making of the ‘IIT’ brand. Through the stories of IIT alumni, readers may find answers to the question of what attracts global multinationals to IIT campuses to recr...

This book brings together the latest information on the rapid advances and developments in the field of aquatic ecology. India is very rich in terms of biological diversity due to its wide range of habitats and climatic conditions. It is home to as much as 7 per cent of the world’s animal species, although it only accounts for about 2 per cent of the total landmass. The present work on biodiversity, ecology and conservation of aquatic resources represents original research in the field of aquatic biodiversity, wetland ecology and its applications with reference to the country’s aquatic resources. There are 19 chapters, each contributed by an expert in his/her particular field and offering novel approaches to various topics in the area of aquatic ecosystems.

I am no author who dives deep down into the ocean of affluent thoughts and writes great sagas to last eternally. I am just a humble teacher with a heart overwhelmed with the memories of my students who came into my life in school as small children and stayed back forever even when they grew up. They walked side by side with me on the road of life sharing all smiles and sorrows. They say a teacher imparts knowledge. Yes! they do, but it is also true that some students teach truly beautiful lessons, make a difference in life, support, applaud, inspire and help in forging an authentic teacher too. 'Yours Truly' is me, whom the magnanimous provider blessed with many students who made me a teacher in true sense. This book is a mark of gratitude to all my boys and girls who were, are and for sure will be with me as my inspiration. Indebted I am to them all for not only being there and keeping connected with me with all their care, love and concern but also teaching me so many precious lessons to abide.
The United Nations declared 2014 the International Year of Family Farming. Although many forms of production were once family-based, agriculture is now one of the few that are still dominated by families. Because family farms are so prevalent, making them more productive could help combat poverty and hunger in many rural areas around the world. Family farms are mostly small in scale, but they are highly diverse in other ways, and their pathways out of poverty will vary. The feature article in this issue of Insights looks at the prospects for supporting family farmers and, in some cases, encouraging workers to move off of farms in favor of other opportunities.
