The Glory of Karma unravels the magic of the human mind and shows the path to banish fatigue and pessimism from one’s life. It enunciates, through inexorable logic, the mechanics and the methodology of how every person can become a conscious generator of energy—a veritable human dynamo.The author has given a marvelous indepth analysis of the role of ‘intention’ in human life. Backed by logic he has established that requital by Nature is not done on the basis of deeds, but on the basis of t...

Digital Design using VerilogHDL: VLSI Modeling, Coding and Verification covers the concepts of digital logic design, including, logic simplification and optimization for digital circuit synthesis and implementation, design and integration of logics (combinational and sequential) in the building of digital circuits and systems, the practical aspects of number systems, the use of VerilogHDL in the logic design, testbench verification, and the synthesis of digital circuits and systems with HD...

Conventional plant breeding alone can no longer sustain the rising global demand for food. Genetic engineering technology makes it possible to develop new crop varieties with improved yield performance, specific quality attributes (external and internal in vegetable crops), resistance to diseases and insect pests, and environmental stresses. Genetic engineering technology for developing GM crops is complementary to genome editing and other breeding technologies. In addition to food require...

This book discusses in detail the phenomena of Pre-equilibrium emission in statistical nuclear reactions.

Integrated Pest Management: Current Concepts and Ecological Perspective presents an overview of alternative measures to traditional pest management practices using biological control and biotechnology. The removal of some highly effective broad-spectrum chemicals, caused by concerns over environmental health and public safety, has resulted in the development of alternative, reduced risk crop protection products. These products, less toxic to the environment and easily integrated into biolo...

A major task of our time is to ensure adequate food supplies for the world's current population (now nearing 7 billion) in a sustainable way while protecting the vital functions and biological diversity of the global environment. The task of providing for a growing population is likely to be even more difficult in view of actual and potential changes in climatic conditions due to global warming, and as the population continues to grow. Current projections suggest that the world's temperatu...

A tremendous first novel from an exciting young author.Feted for its electric chaos, the city of Bombay also accommodates pockets of calm. In one such enclave, Mohan, a middle-aged letter writer – the last of a dying profession – sits under a banyan tree in Fort, furnishing missives for village migrants, disenchanted lovers, and when pickings are slim, filling in money order forms. But Mohan's true passion is collecting second-hand books; he's particularly attached to novels with m...
