This book introduces us to the ancient science of design and architecture used by the Vedic civilization in India. Rather than focus on the details, the book looks at the scientific factors that allow this science to operate as accurately today as it did 5000 years ago.
According to dictates of the Holy Vedas, "Anything born must die. You do not die before your assigned time. But die not a thousand deaths, before your destiny gives you a call." (Atharva, 5.30.6.) Such a sermon has been echoed in the Holy Gita as well. 'Providential Dictates' provides the reader with a cocktail of tragedies and comedies, romances and contradictions of caste and cultural bias prevailing in the Indian society. This professional and emotional memoir also incorporates entertaining profiles of signs of progress in the lives of respectable medical men. Why does Rupashree, the only child of the Dean of a Medical Institution, a glamorous woman born and brought up in opulence and sophistication take her own life, in spite of being married to a handsome officer as graceful as a Greek God? What are the social contradictions or the mythological aberrations which impede progress and happiness in the society? What is the truth behind glittering lives of medical men in the society? Are these patrons of clubs and mall culture really as generous and moralizing as they are meant to be? One has to read on to find out.

शरद जोशी के व्यंग्य का क्षेत्र बहुत व्यापक और विविधवर्णी रहा है। लेखन उनकी आजीविका का भी साधन था। एक सम्पूर्ण लेखक का जीवन जीते हुए उन्होंने अपने दैनंदिन की लगभग हर घटना, हर खबर को अपने व्यंग्यकार की निगाह से ही देखा। उनके विषयों में प्रमुख यद्यपि समकालीन राजनीति और नौकरशाही में व्याप्त भ्रष्टाचार ही रहा लेकिन क्षरणशील समाज की भी ज्यादातर नैतिक दुविधाओं को उन्होंने अपना विषय बनाया।मुक्तिबोध ने कहीं कहा था कि सच्चा लेखक सबसे पहले अपना दुश्मन होता है, अपने कटघरे में जो लेखक खुद को खड़ा नहीं कर सकता, वह दूसरों को भी नहीं कर सकता। शरद जोशी भी जब मौका आता है, खुद भी अपने व्यंग्य के सामने खड़े हो उसकी धार का सामना करते हैं। अपने अनेक निबन्धों में उन्होंने अपनी मध्यवर्गीय सीमाओं, चिन्ताओं और हास्यास्पदताओं का मजाक बनाया है।सच्चे व्यंग्यकार की तरह उन्होंने अपने लेखन में न सिर्फ जीवन की समीक्षा की, बल्कि व्यंग्य की जमीन पर जमे रहते हुए कहानी और लघु-कथाओं आदि विधाओं में भी प्रयोग किए। कवि-मंचों पर उनकी गद्यात्मक उपस्थिति तो अपने ढंग का प्रयोग थी ही।'परिक्रमा' उनका पहला व्यंग्य-संग्रह है जिसका प्रकाशन 1958 में हुआ था। इस नजरिये से इसका अध्ययन विशेष महत्व रखता है।

Water Resources Systems Planning and Management, Second Edition, Volume 51 presents new and updated material, including case studies, examples and important updates on topics such as climate change and integrated water resources management. Authored by two renowned experts in the field of water resources, this text provides an overview of the current status of water resources utilization, the likely scenario of future demands, simulation and techniques of economic analysis, concepts of planning, the planning process, integrated planning, public involvement, reservoir sizing, and finally, systems operation and management. This book presents a comprehensive overview of the field that is relevant for students, professors, scholars, researchers, and consultants in the fields of Water Resources, Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering and Hydrology.
This book is divided into four parts. The first part, Preliminaries, begins by introducing the basic theme of the book. It provides an overview of the current status of water resources utilization, the likely scenario of future demands, and advantages and disadvantages of systems techniques. An understanding of how the hydrological data are measured and processed is important before undertaking any analysis. The discussion is extended to emerging techniques, such as Remote Sensing, GIS, Artificial Neural Networks, and Expert Systems. The statistical tools for data analysis including commonly used probability distributions, parameter estimation, regression and correlation, frequency analysis, and time-series analysis are discussed in a separate chapter. Part 2 Decision Making, is a bouquet of techniques organized in 4 chapters. After discussing optimization and simulation, the techniques of economic analysis are covered. Recently, environmental and social aspects, and rehabilitation and resettlement of project-affected people have come to occupy a central stage in water resources management and any good book is incomplete unless these topics are adequately covered. The concept of rational decision making along with risk, reliability, and uncertainty aspects form subject matter of a chapter. With these analytical tools, the practitioner is well equipped to take a rational decision for water resources utilization. Part 3 deals with Water Resources Planning and Development. This part discusses the concepts of planning, the planning process, integrated planning, public involvement, and reservoir sizing.The last part focuses on Systems Operation and Management. After a resource is developed, it is essential to manage it in the best possible way. Many dams around the world are losing some storage capacity every year due to sedimentation and therefore, the assessment and management of reservoir sedimentation is described in details. No analysis of water resources systems is complete without consideration of water quality. A river basin is the natural unit in which water occurs. The final chapter discusses various issues related to holistic management of a river basin.
Fraternal Capital examines class, gender, and work in Tiruppur, South India, where export of knitted garments has been led by a networked fraternity of owners of working-class and Gounder caste origins, who explain their class mobility as hinging on their "toil." This book asks how these self-made men drew from their agrarian past to turn Gounder toil into capital, and how they continue to make an entire town work for the global economy. Fraternal Capital decenters understandings of global capitalism by linking agrarian transition with the adaptation of a singular past in the interests of accumulation. As Tiruppur shifts to global production, this book tracks ways in which gender links sexed bodies to processes of differentiation, in the tenuous search for consent to increasingly despotic work politics. Tiruppur demonstrates the importance of gender and geography to the globalization of capital as it affects the lives of working people in provincial India and elsewhere. This book links the political economy of development to postcolonial and cultural studies, rooting the analysis of globalization ethnographically and geographically. Fraternal Capital provides a window into a decentralized capitalism and thereby critiques macroeconomic portrayals of globalization by showing how history, geography, gender, and work practice shape local sites of global production.

India is endowed with varied topographical features, such as high mountains, extensive plateaus, and wide plains traversed by mighty rivers. Water is an important input in the socio-economic development of a nation. In India, this dependence is even more apparent, as 70% of her population is dependent on agriculture. Divided into four sections the book provides a comprehensive overview of water resources of India. Beginning with a general description of the country, major hydrologic features, such as climate (precipitation, temperature, radiation, etc.), streamflow, groundwater, soil, etc. are discussed. A detailed treatment of all major river basins is provided, which includes description of catchments, tributaries, surface water and ground water, and important water resources projects. This is followed by a discussion on major uses of water in India, major projects, water related problems including environment and water quality, provisions of the constitution of India, interlinking of India rivers, and institutions dealing with water resources. Finally, the last chapter discusses some views on water management policy for India. AudienceThe book should be useful to Water Resources professionals, particularly those with an interest in India, graduate students, researchers, teachers, planners and policy makers.
