Understanding an Orogenic Belt

Structural Evolution of the Himalaya

By: Ashok Kumar Dubey

The book provides a model for the structural evolution of the Himalaya with relevant background information making it easily accessible to earth scientists specializing in other areas. The book is divided into two parts: The first part describes the basic principles of structural geology that are required to understand the evolutionary model described in the second part. The book incorporates some of the commonly ignored structural features, such as Pre-Himalayan rift tectonics, reactivation of faults, simultaneous development of folds and thrust faults, superposed folds, strike-slip faults developed during early and superposed deformation, problems with GPS data, erratic crustal shortening obtained by restoration of deformed sections, etc. The proposed model is essentially based on inversion tectonics and provides answers to some previously unresolved questions. It describes in detail the structure of the Himalaya as a primary arc, with supporting evidence from model deformation under controlled boundary conditions and anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility studies.

One vs All

Beware Mr. Prime Minister, It’s India Impossible!

By: Ashok Anand

One vs All: Narendra Modi—Pariah to Paragon is all truth. Ashok Anand has dissected ages-old layers of ignorance, myths and ego with his surgical observation to let the truth breathe out of the diseased society. It shames the political class, bureaucracy and religious bigots. It unmasks an absolutely hypocrite society that clings to the past, despises change, lives in denial but notorious for hidden avarice, arrogance and lust. Each chapter of this book will unfold many bitter truths. Have ever thought why a poor tea-seller boy, today occupying the prime minister’s chair, is not corrupt, greedy and foul-mouthed like most of the others in the country? How a “Pariah” pronounced by the anti-national political forces could become a “Paragon” of values? The Indian society, howsoever ignorant and selfish maybe, needs space to evolve, grow and prosper. Would Narendra Modi be able to do that? Truth is very hard to digest. If brave enough, go ahead and read. Not a thriller. Better than a thriller. One vs. All: Narendra Modi—Pariah to Paragon takes the reader to the demonic world of Indian politics, surrounded by the intrigues of a superstitious and ignorant society that loves dwelling in the past and detests any change.

FARMER'S PERCEPTION TOWARDS FARM RADIO PROGRAMME

By: MANOJ KUMAR,M. N. ANSARI,ASHOK K. SINGH

The first and the foremost act of human being in this world is to communicate. The first cry of the newly born child is meant to communicate to the world that he is born alive and well. Since birth every living moment of his/her consists of a series of learning through communication by cries, symbols, gestures and language. Communication is the mechanism through which human relations exist and develop. In the terminology of social sciences the process of transmitting meaningful symbols between individuals is designated a 'communication'. It is only through transmission of meaning from one person to another that information and ideas can be conveyed.

ARSENIC PROBLEM AND MITIGATION

ARSENIC PROBLEM AND MITIGATION

By: Dr. Ashok Kumar Jha,Ujjwal Kumar

The present book on Arsenic has painted a small portion of the vast canvas of water pollution by focusing on the specified areas of the Gangetic plain. In India, the firstcase of arsenic contamination came to light in 1980 in West Bengal. Subsequently many chemists and biologists started examining arsenic content in water in various parts of Bihar and my team started work in some new areas of Gangetic plain in Bhagalpur district. Switching to groundwater for potable water resulted in decrease of bacterial contamination on one hand and on the other this resulted in the vast population being affected by arsenic contaminated water. This book deals with some safer techniques of arsenic removal. The arsenic removal technologies are based on solar oxidation, coagulation, sedimentation, filtration, adsorption, ion exchange and biological processes. In coagulation micro-filtration Fe(III) and Al(III) salts are added to form arsenic-sorbing flocs which is removed by membrane filtration. This method increases Fe(III) and Al(III) in water. Adsorbents like activated alumina, ferric hydroxides, iron oxide coated sand and activated carbon have been used in columns to remove arsenic from aqueous medium. Thus many methods of arsenic removal have been discussed. The search for low-cost technologies has directed towards bentonite deposits of Rajmahal hills. Bentonite minerals are smectite group of mineral having 2:1 dioctahedral structure. Though these minerals are abundant inmost of the countries of the world, Rajmahal hill bentonites have not been studied for many of its important properties as yet. Our research team have collected bentonite minerals from different parts of the hill and worked on removal of heavy metals, dyes and arsenic from aqueous medium. Efforts have been made to use different derivatives of bentonite minerals for remediation of heavy metals including arsenic. A comparative study of remediation potential has been done. All the useful experimental data have been incorporated in the book to have a clear understanding of the subject. Apart from this, the ability of agricultural solid wastes e.g maize stem powder, rice husk have also been tested for removal of arsenic inaqueous medium. In addition, researches have focused on the ability of biological materials to accumulate the toxicants. The major advantages of biosorption are low-cost, high efficiency and minimum use of chemicals. Latest techniques of analyses of arsenic both qualitative and quantitative have been discussed in the book. Analysis of arsenic has also been done by I.C.P and A.A.S. Possible causes of arsenic contamination in ground water, geochemistry and mechanism of entry in the Gangetic plain have also been discussed to make readers understand in the simplest manner. General chemistry of arsenic and its compounds have been discussed in chapter 1 and arsenic binding to DNA causing cancer with possible mechanisms have been incorporated in to the book after a careful and thorough review of journals. Arsenicosis problems, photographs of affected regions and hills have been added with a view to have a glimpse of the worsening situation at the ground level. I hope this book will be valuable for teachers, students and researchers pursuing advanced research on arsenic mitigation. The suggestions from any corner are most welcome and would be incorporated in the book for further improvement.
