But when an unexpected tragedy strikes, the four lives are irreparably torn apart. Flung into a Fitzgeraldian world of sex, crime and collusion, Karan learns that what the heart sees the mind's eye may never behold.

Finalist for the 2020 Lambda Literary Award in Gay Memoir/Biography A revelatory memoir about sex, oppression, and the universal struggle for justice. From his time as a child in 1960s India, Siddharth Dube knew that he was different. Reckoning with his femininity and sexuality—and his intellect—would send him on a lifelong journey of discovery: from Harvard classrooms to unsafe cruising sites; from ivory-tower think-tanks to shantytowns; from halls of power at the UN and World Bank to jail cells where sexual outcasts are brutalized. Coming of age in the earliest days of AIDS, Dube was at the frontlines when that disease made rights for gay men and for sex workers a matter of basic survival, pushing to decriminalize same-sex relations and sex work in India, both similarly outlawed under laws dating back to British colonial rule. He became a trenchant critic of the United States’ imposition of its cruel anti-prostitution policies on developing countries—an effort legitimized by leading American feminists and would-be do-gooders—warning that this was a 21st century replay of the moralistic Victorian-era campaigns that had spawned endless persecution of countless women, men, and trans individuals the world over. Profound, ferocious, and luminously written, An Indefinite Sentence is both a personal and political journey, weaving Dube’s own quest for love and self-respect with unforgettable portrayals of the struggles of some of the world’s most oppressed people, those reviled and cast out for their sexuality. Informed by a lifetime of scholarship and introspection, it is essential reading on the global debates over sexuality, gender expression, and of securing human rights and social justice in a world distorted by inequality and right-wing ascendancy.
Machine Learning for Subsurface Characterization develops and applies neural networks, random forests, deep learning, unsupervised learning, Bayesian frameworks, and clustering methods for subsurface characterization. Machine learning (ML) focusses on developing computational methods/algorithms that learn to recognize patterns and quantify functional relationships by processing large data sets, also referred to as the "big data." Deep learning (DL) is a subset of machine learning that processes "big data" to construct numerous layers of abstraction to accomplish the learning task. DL methods do not require the manual step of extracting/engineering features; however, it requires us to provide large amounts of data along with high-performance computing to obtain reliable results in a timely manner.

This is a maelstrom of emotions- the ones full of disparity and the ones full of joyous aspirations, of love and of abhorrence. These poems seek to express the way an individual answers to the camouflage of Life, of Love and of Infinity; they promote the philosophy of making oneself believable to oneself and to others so as to believe others; it is a paradigm anthology of dauntless exposure to ones surroundings and people, blended with joy, grief, aims and dejection.

‘A Case for a Federal India’ involves a novel study on comparative federalism. The author makes out a case against the quasi-federal or unitary characterisation of the Constitution of India by the jurists and justices alike. India has often been characterised as a quasi-federal nation considering that it possesses several unitary features which may not be present in a traditional federation such as the United States of America or Australia. However, these characterisations did not involve an in-depth study of federalism. The author argues that even the traditionally federal constitutions are not purely federal in the modern day, considering that the courts and governments have introduced several unitarian features which were not present when these federations came into existence. For instance, the two World Wars and the Great Economic Depression necessitated a stronger federal government in the U.S.A. to effectively counter these situations. As a necessary corollary, several constitutional amendments were introduced to grant strong unitarian powers to the federal government such as the emergency powers. Therefore, the present position of India concerning federalism is very much similar to the modern-day federations of the U.S.A. and Australia, rendering the quasi-federal characterisation questionable. This book attempts an in-depth study of federalism and argues against the quasi-federal characterisation of India.
1916. A beautiful angelic woman, Maya, is raped and executed publicly on accusation of being a witch, after subjecting to a fabricated witch trial in a small town. A series of ritualistic and brutal murders harrow the town every third decade since then. As per the witnesses of each era, Maya comes back every thirty years to avenge the savagery done on her. 2010. Ajay Singh Thakur, a young postgraduate, returns to the town to visit his dying uncle and finds himself collared in midst of the haunting. A secret letter reveals the dark history behind the ‘1916 witch trial’, links the nefarious act to his ancestry and leaves him aghast. He, with the aid of Professor Arya (a paranormal expert), Sawmya (a gorgeous journalist), Rajesh Singh (a gutsy police officer) and Kabir (his uncle’s loyal secretary) must fathom the chiller soon to salvage the town from perdition.

Based on the backdrop of innumerable witch trials that have resulted in the homicide of thousands of falsely accused women across the globe, The Last Witch Trial is a mystic thriller which disbands the frontier between science and supernatural, explicit and occult and ruthlessly exposes the social evil of witch hunting that is ridiculously still rampant in some parts of India and the world.

A journey that started in Bombay and explored the south and north of the wondrous land of India culminated in the capital, Delhi. Along the way, there were many small and big moments that will be embedded in our minds and hearts. From the lush terrain of Kerala to the barren beauty of Ladakh, from the Catholic influence in Goa to the Buddhist Tibetan communities in Himachal, from the banana-leaf meals of the south to the butter-laden meals of the north, from the sixteen-hour train journey to the stroll on the double-humped camels, from the suit sellers to the fruit sellers, from the mosques to the temples, from one city to the other, from one state to the other, from one region to the next, we had managed to experience what many don't in a lifetime. India has its share of problems: illiteracy, overpopulation, corruption, crime, and extreme poverty. Among the chaos and cacophony, it is hard to find the peace, the beauty, the bliss, the magic, and the love that is uniquely Indian. Many are enchanted by this ancient land and are drawn to its color and craze. People like you and me explore its depths and, while doing so, discover a little bit more about life and how to deal with it a smile at a time. Each and every human being has their share of unique challenges that they face during their lifetime. Contrary to popular belief, those that appear content and thankful are not without their slice of troubles. It is attitudes and perspectives that turn even the harshest realities into minor glitches in the marathon that is life. India, its people, its customs, and its quirks have an important lesson for all. It is a lesson that one must seek and have a curiosity for. The path of existence is not without its share of treacherous cliffs and demons, but there is one truth that makes it exciting and beautiful, and that is, "happiness is simple." And India and its people are a breathing, living example of that truth!
A startling exposé of the invisible human workforce that powers the web--and how to bring it out of the shadows. Hidden beneath the surface of the internet, a new, stark reality is looming--one that cuts to the very heart of our endless debates about the impact of AI. Anthropologist Mary L. Gray and computer scientist Siddharth Suri unveil how the services we use from companies like Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Uber can only function smoothly thanks to the judgment and experience of a vast human labor force that is kept deliberately concealed. The people who do 'ghost work' make the internet seem smart. They perform high-tech, on-demand piecework: flagging X-rated content, proofreading, transcribing audio, confirming identities, captioning video, and much more. The shameful truth is that no labor laws protect them or even acknowledge their existence. They often earn less than legal minimums for traditional work, they have no health benefits, and they can be fired at any time for any reason, or for no reason at all. An estimated 8 percent of Americans have worked in this 'ghost economy,' and that number is growing every day. In this unprecedented investigation, Gray and Suri make the case that robots will never completely eliminate 'ghost work' and the unchecked quest for artificial intelligence could spark catastrophic work conditions if not stopped in its tracks. Ultimately, they show how this essential type of work can create opportunity--rather than misery--for those who do it."--Dust jacket.
Search structures support the fundamental data storage primitives on key-value pairs: insert a pair, delete by key, search by key, and update the value associated with a key. Concurrent search structures are parallel algorithms to speed access to search structures on multicore and distributed servers. These sophisticated algorithms perform fine-grained synchronization between threads, making them notoriously difficult to design correctly. Indeed, bugs have been found both in actual implementations and in the designs proposed by experts in peer-reviewed publications. The rapid development and deployment of these concurrent algorithms has resulted in a rift between the algorithms that can be verified by the state-of-the-art techniques and those being developed and used today. The goal of this book is to show how to bridge this gap in order to bring the certified safety of formal verification to high-performance concurrent search structures. Similar techniques and frameworks can be applied to concurrent graph and network algorithms beyond search structures.
