Dr. Radhakrishnan sketches the lives of fourteen individuals who have influenced India's life and culture significantly and altered the course of its history. Among these are social reformers like Swami Dayanand and Raja Ram Mohan Roy, political thinkers and activists like Lala Lajpat Rai, Sardar Patel, Tilak and Gokhale and a giant among scientists, Jagdis Bose. All of them had one thing in common — they broke the barriers of tradition and normalcy, and strove for noble ideals... They dreamt, and had the courage and tenacity to turn their dreams into reality.
A masterly review of the evolving relationship between religion, science and culture, and the need to create a spiritual unity which will transcend and sustain the material unity of the world order. 'Dr. Radhakrishnan's sweep is as wide as the world, and wider.' — Tribune 'This book is not only meant to promote interpeople understanding but to awaken mankind to the danger of extinction of homo sapiens by nuclear destruction, the abyss it has reached by spiritual involution.' — Times of India
Ideas are more potent than facts, even though the ideas may be illusions. Every great achievement is a vision in the soul before it becomes a fact of history. Ideas control the world. They triumph over the blind forces. This selection comprises some of Radhakrishnan's thought provoking essays on freedom, culture and the future of civilization.
One of the most profoundly religious books of our time - The Spectator Science is a system of second causes, which cannot describe the world adequately, much less account for it. In this remarkable treatise, Radhakrishnan explores aspects of the modern intellectual debate on science vis-a-vis religion and the vain attempts to find a substitute for religion. He discusses, drawing upon the traditions of East and West, the nature and validity of religious experience.Finally, he creates a fine vision of mans evolution and the emergence of higher values. The range of subjects combined with the authors own faith, undogmatic and free of creed, makes this book a philosophical education in itself.

Tamarind (Tamarindus indica L.) is a versatile and multipurpose tropical tree species used as a fruit, seed and fuel wood; it is grown in various topo-edaphic conditions. The tree widely grows along road sides, with extensive cultivation by farmers and forest departments. Tamarind is utilized as food additives especially in south India; it is predominantly grown in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, Maharashtra, Bihar and Chhattisgarh. Tamil Nadu stands highest in the fruit production in India, with well established processing and marketing channels. The present book enlightens the production, processing, value addition, by-product development and marketing of tamarind. The objective of the book is to create awareness about the different products developed through tamarind pulp and seeds. The information detailed in the book will serve as a reference material for students, researchers, traders and farmers.
This textbook explores the fundamental principles of Business Process Reengineering (BPR). The express aim of the book is to address the needs of MBA students opting for courses in ‘Information Technology Management or ‘Operations Management’, MCA students who opt for Business Processes as an elective, and students of BE/B.Tech Mechanical Engineering and Production Engineering for courses in Process Engineering/Automation/Management System Design. The book provides them with the concepts, methodologies, models and tools needed to understand and implement BPR. In a nutshell, the book offers a step-by-step presentation of the practical framework and management techniques needed to achieve engineering solutions for implementation of BPR in an organization. The initial chapters introduce the reader to the need for BPR and its utility in relation to IT and manufacturing. The middle chapters cover the methodology, success factors, barriers, and the technologies that are relevant for BPR implementation. The latter chapters present solutions like lean and virtual manufacturing, enterprise resource planning, and functional information systems. An exclusive chapter is devoted to concepts and tasks of software reengineering. Aided by extensive illustrations, end-of-chapter review questions, as well as a chapter consisting entirely of case studies, this book will help students develop a rich, multifaceted perspective, to enable them to handle complex management and engineering problems. The book will be useful to students in practically all branches of engineering, not just mechanical/production/industrial engineering.
