Belief Systems and Supernaturalism of Thachanadan Moopan of Wayanad: Changing Trends and Persisting Traditions

By: Sreejisha VP

The book Belief Systems and Supernaturalism of Thachanadan Moopan of Wayanad: Changing Trends and Persisting Traditions is an ethnographic account of Thachanadan Moopan, which is a scheduled tribe, inhabiting in the district of Wayanad, Kerala, South India. The thrust of the book is to appraise the sociocultural changes that occurred in the time and space in relation to the worldview of Thachanadan Moopan. Further, the book describes the traditional belief system of Thachanadan Moopan with that of Vidyarthis sacred complex and the cultural values of Thachanadan Moopan must have to be shielded and documented as it is in the vanishing stage. The book also portrays the quo and pro with regard to the changes that occurred in the religious life of Thachanadan Moopan, which are predominantly due to acculturation and enculturation, and there upheaves the question of identity in the religious life of Thachanadan Moopan.

Fractal Models in Exploration Geophysics

Applications to Hydrocarbon Reservoirs

By: V.P. Dimri,R.P. Srivastava,Nimisha Vedanti

Researchers in the field of exploration geophysics have developed new methods for the acquisition, processing and interpretation of gravity and magnetic data, based on detailed investigations of bore wells around the globe. Fractal Models in Exploration Geophysics describes fractal-based models for characterizing these complex subsurface geological structures. The authors introduce the inverse problem using a fractal approach which they then develop with the implementation of a global optimization algorithm for seismic data: very fast simulated annealing (VFSA). This approach provides high-resolution inverse modeling results-particularly useful for reservoir characterization. Serves as a valuable resource for researchers studying the application of fractals in exploration, and for practitioners directly applying field data for geo-modeling Discusses the basic principles and practical applications of time-lapse seismic reservoir monitoring technology - application rapidly advancing topic Provides the fundamentals for those interested in reservoir geophysics and reservoir simulation study Demonstrates an example of reservoir simulation for enhanced oil recovery using CO2 injection

Legacy to Bureaucracy

Musings of an Indian Civil Servant

By: Vp Sawhney,V. P. Sawhney

More than personal memoirs, this book is an excellent commentary on the inflections of pre-independence and post-independence India. The author has a parental legacy that could be an envy of many. It is refreshing to run through the snippets of his father's writings that cover an amazing range of the contemporary environment, his sensitivity to the political developments of the day, and the personal values which he sought to imbibe. Partition again was a watershed for millions in the sub-continent. Many families were made or marred. The author's description of his journey from childhood in Lyallpur (now in Pakistan) to his struggle later as an adolescent is a vivid run of the tragic events that had then unveiled; and his resurgence by and by as a young man of promise in the Brave New World. Much has been said about the unique character of the Indian Administrative Service. The author fills many details about the preparation for the competition; the selection process and the in-house training. The many-sided natures of the assignments handled by him provide rare and absorbing insights into several events and personalities that were involved in the evolving contours of our nation. The author's concern that all was not well with the system is well taken. He cites some disturbing instances of the rapidly shrinking space between the politician and the bureaucracy. Altogether, the book is a very good read. It offers a sumptuous fare for empathy and introspection. Not to miss also the delectable dessert that he offers with the wit quill through the piebald! The author VP Sawhney, more commonly known as Gullu Sawhney, was born in Lyallpur in the Punjab province of undivided India.After Partition, his family migrated from Pakistan to India. He studied at St Stephens College and University of Delhi. After completing his post graduation in Physics, he worked briefly as a Research Assistant with Professor DS Kothari. He joined the Indian Administrative Service in 1958. In a span of over 35 years, he had a variety of postings under the State and the Central government, and also served for some years in the UN system. The diarist in him and his father has ended in this kaleidoscopic compendium of advice, observation and experience. The content is holistic and the relevance is universal. It may have a special appeal for students of contemporary history in politics, and in domestic governance. There is also a broad and sumptuous treat for those who take good wit and humour at its face value.

Remote sensing techniques for mapping and monitoring mangroves at fine scales

By: Schill, S.R.,McNulty, V.P.,Perez, D.,Shono, K.,Friedman, K.

Mangrove ecosystems play a critical role in harbouring biodiversity and providing a variety of ecosystem services. The need for developing better techniques for classifying and monitoring mangroves is increasing, especially with the growing demand in blue carbon markets. However, many countries are challenged by the need to improve their mangrove cover estimates to inform decision-making on coastal land use and to guide local conservation efforts including restoration planning. This manual was developed to help overcome this problem by providing guidance, specifically targeted to build capacity for mangrove resource managers on how to use and take advantage of the latest technologies in mapping and monitoring mangroves. It enables collection of data that informs conservation decision-making, guiding the planning of mangrove restoration and protection activities that will ultimately lead to enhanced management and conservation of mangroves. In addition, case studies are presented on estimating mangrove extent, structure, condition and change, using a range of remote sensing-derived sources that are focused on < 5-m spatial resolution.

Indian Business Case Studies Volume II

By: V P Pawar,Bhagyashree Kunte,Srinivas Tumuluri

It has been decades since many business schools outside India adopted the case study methodology for teaching almost all branches of management studies. This trend has been seen in India, too, where top management institutes have implemented the case study-based methodology as an important pedagogical tool in business education. The major issue in India, however, is a severe shortage of Indian case studies through which business schools can provide industry insights to students. This volume fills that gap. It has twenty Indian cases related to different aspects of business management. The cases cover some of the prominent disciplines of management like marketing, finance, human resource management, strategy management, operations management, accounting, and mergers and acquisitions. These cases best serve the purpose of adoption of 'case methodology' in classroom teaching or online lecture sessions for the faculty and students of business management.

Tropical Forest Ecosystems Structure and Function

Tropical Forest Ecosystems Structure and Function

By: V.P. Singh

Tropical forests are vital for social, economic and ecological reasons. They play an important role in ecosystem processes [ such as the biogeochemical and hydrological cycle ] they provide habitat for wildlife and serve as source of biodiversity and they offer protection against soil erosion [Kremen et al., 2000 and Condit et al., 2002]. The forest contains large trees standing, 30 to 50 meters in height, creating continuous canopy of foliage. The enclosed canopy, shades tree forest floor, inhibiting the development of much undergrowth, creating an open forest formation. Piercing into the tree canopy, reveals a multistory appearance of broad leaf, evergreen vegetation. The forest is a treasure trove of different animal and plant species. Forest and woodlands cover nearly 40% of the earth’s land surface and they are the most biologically diverse ecosystems in most part of the world. The tropics consist of a diversity, occurring between the latitudes of the tropic of Cancer and the tropics of Capricon, north and south of the equator. These ecosystems are currently experiencing the highest rates of destruction in the world. More than 90% of dry forests have been destroyed and less than 2% of what remains is protected. Because of the climatic and forest structure, dry forests are easier to clear for agriculture, the soil is more fertile and the land is more suitable for livestock. Forest area has increased slightly since 1980 in industrial countries, but, has declined by almost 10% in developing countries. Tropical deforestation probably exceeds 1,30,000 sq. km a year. Less than 40% of forest globally are relatively undisturbed by human action. Many developing countries today, rely on timber for export earnings, at the same time; millions of people in tropical countries still depend on forests to meet their every need. Since time immemorial, forest has provided a valuable source of economic life for human populations. Yet, the ways in which, forests are used and valued, depends largely on people’s economic needs and priorities in a particular place or at a particular time, balanced against the relative scarcity or abundance of forest resources. Over recent years, a complex array of social, economic and political changes have altered human demands on forest. These changing demands have had devastating impact on forest status and integrity. This book is an outcome of the own work, experience and research on tropical forest for the last 30 years. I hope, this will provide to readers, concise, sufficient and recent information on tropical forest of the world.
