Geography & the Environment2018The Rise and Fall of the Emerald Tigers
Ten Years of Research in Panna National Park
by Raghu Chundawat
‘This book is a must-read for everything you ever wanted to know about wild tigers in India.’—Valmik Thapar In this seminal book about the Indian tiger, Raghu Chundawat, a renowned conservation biologist, shares his findings from the only long-term ecological research project on tigers undertaken in India till date. Chundawat closely studied the Panna tigers and their prey, from 1996 to 2006—meticulously recording their space use, movements, feeding and reproductive behaviours—in the dry tropical forests of Madhya Pradesh. With support from the national park management, he oversaw a spectacular revival of Panna’s tiger population. However, by 2002-03, the fortunes of Panna’s tigers, and Chundawat’s research, nosedived when the park management changed. Monitoring privileges and access to the park were curtailed, and subsequently, poaching and poisoning of tigers spiked. When Chundawat blew the whistle on the alarming decline, he faced immense backlash from the state wildlife authorities. Despite the systemic opposition, Chundawat continued the fight to save Panna’s tigers, collecting data and petitioning the government to intervene. In this immensely informative work, Chundawat presents not just his research, but also an insider’s account of the politics and administrative apathy plaguing Indian wildlife conservation. He discusses the larger threats to Indian wildlife—and the possible solutions. Filled with stunning photographs, The Rise and Fall of the Emerald Tigers is a must-read for all wildlife enthusiasts and researchers across the world.

GardeningJune 2013Precision Farming in Horticulture
by Jitendar Singh,S.K.Jain, L.K.Dashora & B.S. Chundawat:
Climatic variations often tend to have adverse effect on the yield and production of crops. Efforts have, therefore, been on for harnessing this natural resource through artificial means for increasing crop productivity. One such technology is protected cultivation. This technique is well adopted in Europe and USA and now China and Japan are leading in controlled sphere production of horticultural crops. In India, the technology is making breakthrough in Karnataka and Maharashtra in protected cultivation of pepper, tomato, cucumber, muskmelon, baby corn etc. Precision farming is defined as the cultivation by adopting technologies which give maximum precision in production of a superior crop with a desired yield levels and quality at competitive production. These include use of genetically modified crop varieties, micropropagation, integrated nutrient, water and pest managements, protected cultivation, organic farming, hi-tech horticulture, and post harvest technology. Post-harvest sector needs lot of precision. Peels, rags, etc. go waste. Many times, peels being rich in polyphenols, colouring pigment, nutrients etc are richer in antioxidant than what we actually eat. Here, we need precision. Precision in management, precision in product diversification, precision in value addition are much sought after aspect.

Computer securitySecurity Testing Handbook for Banking Applications
by Arvind Doraiswamy, Sangita Pakala, Nilesh Kapoor, Prashant Verma, Praveen Singh, Raghu Nair and Shalini Gupta
Address human vulnerabilities with this essential guide … Practical advice from an acknowledged expert – endorsed by BT! Your business information is likely to be much more valuable than the hardware on which it is stored. The loss of a laptop might set you back £400, but if the files on the laptop included sensitive customer data or the blueprint for a new product, the cost of repairing the damage would run into thousands. The consequences of a data breach range from alienating customers to heavy fines, or even criminal prosecution. While technologies, such as antivirus software and encryption, can offer some protection against cybercrime, security breaches are most often the result of human error and carelessness. Improve information security Improving information security within your organisation, therefore, has to encompass people and processes, as well as technology. Motivating your team and making them more aware of security concerns should be at the heart of your information security strategy. At the same time, the processes you have in place to address information security issues need to be straightforward and properly understood if you want your employees to adhere to them. BT’s approach This pocket guide is based on the approach used by BT to protect its own data security – one that draws on the capabilities of both people and technology. The guide will prove invaluable for IT managers, information security officers and business executives.

Health & Personal DevelopmentOctober 2020Hindu Myths
From Ancient Cosmology to Gods and Demons
by MARTIN J. DOUGHERTY
There is no clear start point for Hinduism, no single prophet or messiah who taughtpeople how to worship and the forms to follow. Nor is there a single text containingthe universal truths; instead, there are many different practices and innumerablevariants of common myths and tales.From the ancient Sanskrit texts of the Upanishads, Vedas, Mahabharata and Ramayana, the characters, gods and narratives of Hinduism emerged to demonstratethe moral precepts, duties and correct behaviour of Hinduism. Learn about Vediccosmology, which is divided into four cyclical Yugas, or epochs, and which has nobeginning or end; or the creation myth of Varaha, a powerful boar who saved theearth from primordial waters; or the legend of Rama, who against great odds rescueshis love Sita from the demon-king Ravana; or Vishnu, the greatest god in the HinduTrimurti (triad), who takes the form of nine different avatars and stops the earth frombeing destroyed through preserving Atman, the unchanging ultimate reality.Illustrated with 120 photographs and artworks, Hindu Myths is an accessible,engaging and highly informative exploration of the complex mythology underlyingone of the world’s oldest and most influential religions.
