A New Paradigm: We require systems which run parallel to natural ones, not against them. For example, regional, closed-loop (No waste, cradle to cradle), self-sufficient, & decentralized systems (Horizontal vs. Hierarchical). Sustainable systems which are NOT based on constant economic growth & consumption. The organization of self-managed, egalitarian, and highly co-operative societies. This will require a shift in consciousness which recognizes our interconnectedness and interdependence on each other and nature. A shift from ego-systems to eco-systems. Politicians are merely puppets (Pawns, proxies), of private interests. The media & governments role in two words- "controlled opposition" (Corporate tools). The fundamental problem is this entire unsustainable system driven by consumption & economic growth. A fraction of the resources spent on the military industrial complex, corporate welfare, etc. would solve all the ecological, social, and economic problems we face.
Barring a few like Athens, Rome, Instanbul, Jeusalem and Damascus, not many big cities of modern world can boast of a 2500 year old history behind them. This book is a saga of the 2500 year long journey of Patna, its rise , decline and how she rose once again from a small port hamlet Pattan during Buddha to a fortress city at the time of great Magadhan king Ajatshatru which was later passed on to Chandragupta Maurya who converted this city into a marvelous magic in wood and brick with elegant palaces gates and watchtowers. Then came Ashoka who created the magnificent sixty-four pillared Mauryan Hall and a palace. This book takes you on the journey of this city from Ajastshatru to the Guptas to Shershahand Mirquassim to the Dutch and The British crown who all contributed and created something to make this city become a great city of artisanship culture, knowledge and art. This book is also about the people of Patna, its hotels, restaurants, movie halls and so on. But the sad part is Patna lost most of its iconic sprawling bungalows that were adorned by front lawns or gardens to earthquakes or building booms and in the present time the pace of this loss has gained speed. This book is also a story of the pain of this city…what Patna has lost in this great journey. Sometimes I see Patna as an ageing grandmother, who one by one bids adeu to her children and grandchildren leaving her; standing alone in her front porch .

Through field surveys and interviews with scientists, economists, environmentalists, civil society activists as well as cotton growing farmers from the states of Telangana and Maharashtra, it highlights the vulnerabilities and questions related to the short-term and long term impacts of using GM technology on farmers, food production, health, the agricultural economy and the environment. The book proposes ways for the use of GM technology which takes stock of economic and farming limitations and accordingly brings in reforms and policies to reconcile the conflicting arguments of stakeholders. This volume will be of great interest to researchers and students of development studies, political science, sociology, agricultural studies and sciences and biotechnology. It will also be useful for policymakers, think tanks and NGOs working with farmers or agriculture collectives on policy issues.
Neurology, a subject considered to be complex, studies the nervous system, and the disorders and diseases associated with it. Most medical students find it a 'tough' subject. Though quite a few books are available in the market on the subject, somehow they fail to explain the topics in an accessible style to the students. What this comprehensive and reader-friendly book strives to do is to demystify the subject and make it comprehensible even to the average reader. The book encompasses, within the covers of a single volume, all aspects of neurology with great skill and dexterity. It gives an in-depth treatment of such topics as disorders of consciousness, language and speech disorders, sleep disorders, movement disorders, vertigo and ataxia. Dr. Navneet Kumar, with his expertise and long years of experience, gives a masterly analysis of many other topics such as headaches including migraine, backaches, meningitis and strokes--in both the young and the elderly. He devotes four chapters exclusively to Epilepsy, a disease dreaded by many, with lots of superstitions attached to it. What's more, he discusses in detail about a host of other topics in neurology, for example, the early diagnosis of dementia, Alzheimer's disease, and neurological and psychiatric disorders. This book is intended primarily as a text for students of MD and DNB Medicine as well as for students of Paediatrics. Besides, students of MBBS, DM (Neurology) and M.Ch. (Neurosurgery) as also practising physicians, who wish to have a deeper knowledge of the subject will find the book quite useful. KEY FEATURES: Describes modern investigative techniques in the diagnosis of nervous system disorders; these include EEG, CAT scan, MRI, PET scan, and EMG. Provides photographs, and a large number of diagrams and tables to illustrate the concepts discussed. Acquaints the readers with the latest methods of neurological therapy, such as gene therapy and stem cell therapy.
Pharmacology is a dynamic and multifaceted field that lies at the heart of modern healthcare. It encompasses the study of how drugs interact with biological systems to produce therapeutic effects, as well as their mechanisms of action, pharmacokinetics, and therapeutic uses. As the landscape of pharmacotherapy continues to evolve, it is essential for healthcare professionals to have a comprehensive understanding of pharmacological principles and their clinical applications. This book, "Pharmacology – Theory," is crafted with the aim of providing students, educators, and practitioners with a thorough and accessible resource that explores the fundamental concepts and practical aspects of pharmacology. Designed as a comprehensive guide, it covers a wide range of topics, from the basic principles of drug administration to the pharmacology of various organ systems and drug classes. The journey through pharmacology begins with an exploration of the fundamental concepts in drug administration, absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. Understanding these processes is crucial for optimizing drug therapy and ensuring patient safety. Building upon this foundation, the book delves into the pharmacology of drugs acting on the peripheral and central nervous systems, cardiovascular system, blood and blood-forming organs, respiratory system, gastrointestinal tract, and kidney. Each section of the book is meticulously structured to provide a detailed examination of the pharmacological principles underlying the therapeutic use of drugs within specific organ systems. In addition to discussing the pharmacological actions, indications, contraindications, and dosages of various drug classes, the book also highlights the clinical relevance of pharmacological concepts through the integration of case studies and real-world examples. Special attention is given to the unique considerations and challenges encountered within the Indian healthcare system. By incorporating pertinent examples and case studies from the Indian context, we aim to enhance the relevance and applicability of pharmacological principles for Indian pharmacy professionals, students, and educators.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have attracted high interest over the last few decades in the wireless and mobile computing research community. Applications of WSNs are numerous and growing, including indoor deployment scenarios in the home and office to outdoor deployment in an adversary’s territory in a tactical background. However, due to their distributed nature and deployment in remote areas, these networks are vulnerable to numerous security threats that can adversely affect their performance. This problem is more critical if the network is deployed for some mission-critical applications, such as in a tactical battlefield. Random failure of nodes is also very likely in real-life deployment scenarios. Due to resource constraints in the sensor nodes, a traditional security mechanism with high overhead of computation and communication is not feasible in WSNs. Design and implementation of secure WSNs is, therefore, a particularly challenging task. This book covers a comprehensive discussion on state-of-the-art security technologies for WSNs. It identifies various possible attacks at different layers of the communication protocol stack in a typical WSN and presents their possible countermeasures. A brief discussion on the future direction of research in WSN security is also included.
