New Challenges in Astrophysics
The Inter-University Centre For Astronomy And Astrophysics, An Autonomous Institution Of The University Grants Commission, Was Formally Dedicated To The Academics Participating In The Centres Activities On 28Th December, 1992. This Occasion Was Marked By A Two-Day International Dedication Seminar. Several Distinguished Astronomers And Astrophysicists From All Over The World Participated In This Seminar And Delivered Invited Lectures. This Volume Presents The Written Version Of These Lectures.In Addition To A Brief History Of How Iucaa Came Into Being, The Volume Contains Written Version Of The Lectures Delivered By Several Eminent Scientists Including Late Professor S. Chandrasekhar (Nobel Laureate). The Topics Range From The History Of Indian Astronomy To The Details Of The Structure Formation In The Expanding Universe. Each Lecture Is Fairly Detailed And Provides A Comprehensive Review Of The Subject.
Lectures in Astrobiology
This is the second of a divided two-part softcover edition of the "Lectures in Astrobiology Volume I" containing the sections "General Introduction", "From Prebiotic Chemistry to the Origin of Life on Earth" and "Appendices" including an extensive glossary on Astrobiology. "Lectures in Astrobiology" is the first comprehensive textbook at graduate level encompassing all aspects of the emerging field of astrobiology. Volume I of the Lectures in Astrobiology gathers a first set of extensive lectures that cover a broad range of topics, from the formation of solar systems to the quest for the most primitive life forms that emerged on the Early Earth.
Bananas and Plantains
Bananas and plantains are major fruit crops in the tropics and subtropics, making a vital contribution to the economies of many countries. In the last 15 years, substantial changes have occurred in banana production, among them the increased importance of fungal and viral diseases and their serious impact on Cavendish export cultivars, smallholder plantains and cooking bananas. Changes in production systems such as protected greenhouse cultivation, organic, fair-trade and integrated cultivation and their respective certification schemes have also become prominent. This book provides an accessi.
The Science of Dreaming
Every night we drift into another world. Where do we go? What do our dreams mean? Why do we dream? What is lucid dreaming? Can we steer our dreams? These and other questions have been plaguing humanity for centuries. Dreaming has been the subject of myth and speculation, driving mysteries that have stimulated our wildest imaginations. Yet there is now some solid scientific research about dreaming that helps answer many of these questions. Here the author compiles the evidence, together with thousands of years of dream application to uncover the real nature of dreaming and its link with our personal lives, our mental health and our physical health. This is combined with practical information to help us understand our dreams and utilize our dreams to improve our waking lives.
