The Indian National Science Academy was established in January 1935 with the objective of promoting science in India and harnessing scientific knowledge for the cause of humanity and national welfare. In 1968 it was designated as the adhering organisation in India to the International Council for Scientific Union (ICSU) on behalf of the Government of India. Over the years, the Academy has published a number of journals, volumes, biographical memoirs, etc. The year 2009–2010 will be specially celebrated to mark the Platinum Jubilee of the Academy. Many programmes are planned in different centres in India on this occasion. In addition, the Academy has decided to publish a number of special volumes on different s- jects ranging from earth sciences to life sciences. This volume is on Physics and Chemistry of the Earth’s Interior. One of the main objectives of geophysicists is to establish the internal structure of the earth as revealed by seismic tomography. It is also their primary goal to correlate geophy- cal data to reveal thermal and chemical state of the crust, mantle and core of the earth. In - der to interpret seismic velocities and associated density and elastic properties in terms of mineralogical and petrological models of the earth’s interior, thermodynamic and hi- pressure temperature data from mineral physics are essential. With the advent of different types of multi-anvil and laser-heated diamond anvil equipment, it is now possible to simulate conditions prevalent even in the lower mantle and core of the earth.
This tract looks at the politics of language in India through a study of the history of one language Hindi. It traces the tragic metamorphosis of this language over the last century, from a creative, dynamic, popular language to a dead, Sanskritised, dePersianised language manufactured by a self-serving upper caste North Indian elite, nurturing hegemonic ambitions. From being a symbol of collective imagination it became a signifier of narrow sectarianism and regional chauvinism. The tract shows how this trans- formation of the language was tied up with the politics of communalism and regionalism.
Over the past several years, extensive research has been done on the microbial production of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). Regardless, research on the oleaginous microalgae used as feedstock for biofuels production and the overall story about the production of nutraceutical fatty acids from oleaginous microalgae has been very limited. This volume provides an exclusive insight on the production of nutraceutical fatty acids from oleaginous microalgae and their role on human health. Some saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids can be synthesized by humans, whereas long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) such as α-linolenic acid and linoleic acid cannot and are deemed essential. The products of these acids, such as DHA, which is important for early visual and neurological development, are extremely important to human health. Replacing SFAs with omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in the diet reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases and prevent Alzheimer's, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia, among other benefits. The ever-rising global demand for omega-3 & 6 PUFAs, however, cannot be met solely by fish oil, due to diminishing fish stocks and pollution of marine ecosystems, which has led to increased interest in alternative sustainable sources. Vegetable oils from genetically engineered plant oilseeds and microorganisms are two potential alternatives to fish oil, even though omega-3 PUFAs are highest in the latter. Although transgenic plants present numerous advantages, their production is dependent on seasonal and climatic conditions and the availability of arable land. Moreover, there are public concerns regarding the cultivation of transgenic crops in open ecosystems. These, together with regulatory issues restrict the large-scale production of genetically modified crops. Microorganisms, however, are known natural producers of microbial oils similar to those obtained from plants and animals and a possible source of nutritionally important omega-3 & 6 PUFAs. This groundbreaking volume presents invaluable new research on essential fatty acids, their production from various oleaginous microorganisms, biochemical and metabolic engineering to improve PUFAs content in oil, extraction and purification of omega 3 fatty acids, and the current market scenario. Whether a veteran engineer or scientist using it as a reference or a professor using it as a textbook, this outstanding new volume is a must-have for any engineer or scientist working in food science.
The origin of agroforestry practices—growing trees and shrubs with food and fruit crops and grasses is traditional and very old—but the science of agroforestry is new. Years of experience and experiments have shown that agroforestry as a land-use system is capable of yielding both food and wood and at the same time helps in conserving and rehabilitating the ecosystems. It has the capability to increase the overall productivity of land, maintain the nutrient balance in the soil, and above all, protect the nature. In the recent years, agroforestry has been recommended as a core subject in the curriculum of B. Sc. (Forestry) and B. Sc. (Agriculture) courses of agricultural universities. This book has been divided into ten chapters covering very comprehensive information on all aspects of agroforestry including history, concepts, systems classification, tree-crop interactions, planning and management, diagnosis and design, policy and projects, and propagation and management practices of multipurpose trees. This book is co-published with NIPA. Taylor and Francis does not sell or distribute its print and electronic editions in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
Spy from Unaula takes us to a small sleepy village of Unaula and shows the simple joys, trials and tribulations of Ramchandra's life. Coming from meager means, Ramchandra overcomes unimaginable odds and his dexterous attitude lets him elevate himself from a lowly life. Having lost his mother early, and father averse to the idea of education, he seeks help from his rebellious brother to be able to pursue his dream of being well educated and a career of an officer in the armed forces. This dream did not come easy as the social obligations and customs of those times compelled him to take drastic decisions to fulfill his dreams. In search of a livelihood and bagful of dreams he travels to the ""City of Dreams"" of his time in search of opportunities that would fulfill his dreams. From the famous Mills of Mumbai to being a cycle rickshaw driver in Agra, he consistently moves slowly and steadily towards his goals without complaining of any hardships he bore. Luck favours the brave, and once opportunity struck he seized the opportunity to train himself in the skills needed to land a government job. Starting from the lowest civilian ranks he moves up with an exciting job in Military Intelligence, eventually becoming a spy. The three wars of 1962 with China and 1965 and 1971 with Pakistan were action packed for Ramchandra. Breaking codes, analyzing information over radio to interrogating the war prisoners and eventually participating in the liberation of Bangladesh in 1971 opens up the secret world of intelligence and spying in those times. From war duties to political unrest and busting espionage rings in the country, Ramchandra never failed to find excitement on his job, while his struggle to ensure that his children found the best education, which he himself struggled to get, never ceased inspite of all odds. This book will appeal to readers with its sharp-drawn perspective of life and the journey of a man with a dream and a lot of action from the secret quarters of covert intelligence agencies.

Man Making (MM) is important and is required in the realm of the human existence only; Other animals need no separate making of them. They go by their respective instinct only; no conscious effort directed at changing the course to follow and to nurture one’s ways of the traits. All cows are more or less the same. Every individual human is discreet. Swami Vivekananda, the saint savant of the late 19th CEE from India, presented before the western world the need for exchange of knowledge of their material science for the spirit and the purpose of living emanating from the ancient wisdom of India. But for Man Making human existence in this world is incomplete to say the least. There remains the scope for the acceptance in both hands of both the phenomenal and the transcendental. The exchange has become more important today in view of the strife torn separatism prevailing.
