Human Body Measurements:
Concepts and Applications
A.R.N. SRIVASTAVA, faculty at Sam Higginbottom
Institute of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences (SHIATS)
Deemed University, Naini, Allahabad (U.P.).
This well-organized text continues to present the socialcultural anthropological concepts and theories which
have influenced the mankind in the past, particularly in
the twentieth century—between the years 1965 and
2000. The new edition is incorporated with two new
sections—one defining the major concepts of sociology—
defining society, community, association and so on, and
the other an Appendix on Tribal Movement in India.
The book further provides an anthropological analysis of
cultural institutions relating to society, economy, polity,
folklore and art. The description of the relation between
language and culture and a separate chapter on Cultural
Change, make this text unique. Examples are taken from
all across the world to describe socio-economic, political,
and religious institutions, and give a panoramic view of
the diverse cultures.

PROMILA MEHTA, Professor, Department of Human
Biology, Punjabi University, Patiala.
A perfect body is desired by every human being. Be it
in terms of height, weight or mass—the increased
awakening to stay fit and to be in shape has led to an
urge to be familiar with the human anatomy and its
measurements.
A compendium of numerous conceptual issues on human
body physique, body composition and nutritional status,
this book comprehensively discusses various protocols for
measuring human body parts. The emphasis is laid on the
recommendations made by International Biological
Programme (IBP) on Human Adaptability.
In addition, the book effectively reveals subtle differences
between those individuals who otherwise look similar
through various somatotyping techniques (like Heath and
Carter). The book also explains how body measurements
determine the growth and development of a child; and
factors like chronic illnesses, and obesity in an adult.
KEY FEATURES
• Solved examples to provide an analytical insight on
the subject
• Figures and tables to present a lucid picture of all
the concepts
• Review questions to test students’ aptitude on the
subject
Designed primarily for the postgraduate students of
Human Biology, Human Genetics, Anthropology, Physical
Education and Sports Sciences, this book is equally

SRIVASTAVA
CHEMISTRY
Morphology of The Primates and
Human Evolution
R.P. SRIVASTAVA, Professor and Head, Department of
Anthropology at Pune University and Karnatak University,
Dharwad.
This book presents a detailed account of the
morphological features of the primates and, in the
process, it provides a clear exposition of the story of
human evolution. It discusses the theories of biological
evolution, the origin of the primates, the morphology of
the living primates, the social behaviour of the nonhuman
primates, and the phylogenetic relationship between the
large apes and man on the basis of immunological and
molecular analyses.
The text focuses on the Miocene hominoids and their
role in the subsequent developments of the hominids. It
discusses three theories—the Single Lineage Theory, the
Double Lineage Theory, and the Triple Lineage Theory—
developed through the study of the anatomical features
of the australopithecine fossils found mainly in South and
East Africa. The text also gives up-to-date information on
the recent discoveries of several hominid species.
The emergence of Homo erectus from one of the
australopithecines, its cultural attainments, and the
gradual transition to modern man are described in
the text. The doubts about the phylogenetic lineage of
the Neanderthals and the emergence of the early Homo
sapiens in the context of human evolution form the basis
of various theories regarding the evolution of modern
man. These theories are thoroughly examined in the text.
KEY FEATURES
• Discusses immunological and molecular approaches to
primate phylogeny, and various dating techniques.
• Includes a number of figures, flow charts and phylogenetic trees to help readers understand the concepts
clearly.
• Provides a Glossary of technical terms and contributions of some eminent persons to the subject.
This book is designed for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Anthropology and Archaeology.
Besides, students appearing in competitive examinations
will also find the book beneficial.

Environmental Hazards and
Disaster Management
SAHNI & ARIYABANDU (Eds.)
Disaster Risk Reduction in
South Asia
PARDEEP SAHNI, Professor of Public Administration at
the Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU),
New Delhi.
MADHAVI MALALGODA ARIYABANDU, is the Programme
Manager, Disaster Mitigation, at the Intermediate
Technology Development Group (ITDG), South Asia.
South Asia represents a region highly prone to natural
disasters. Disasters not only disrupt the normal life of the
affected communities and the countries but also impede
developmental efforts. By and large, the approach of
the major stakeholders has been ‘reactive’ rather than
‘proactive’. There is indeed, a dire need for concerted
and well-planned efforts to achieve risk reduction
through risk identification, and sharing and transfer of
information.
This edited volume explores how the risk of disasters can
be reduced by structural and non-structural measures
with detailed, comprehensive and participatory strategies.
Twenty-seven contributors, both academicians and
practitioners, investigate the challenges that the region
faces and how changes can be effected at the
community, society, government and nongovernment
levels to foster a culture of preparedness.
The overall focus is on risk reduction through prevention,
preparedness, mitigation, response, recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction. Some case studies from
different settings dealing with various disasters have also
been included. Since disaster risk reduction is an area of
great concern and there is absolute dearth of literature
addressing this issue with regard to South Asia, this
volume will be of immense utility and interest to
government departments, NGOs, insurance companies,
universities, training institutions, professional associates,
media, general public, and students pursuing courses in
disaster management.

ALKA DHAMEJA and UMA MEDURY, both are Readers in
the Faculty of Public Administration, IGNOU.
Human vulnerability to natural disasters is an age-old
phenomenon. Besides nature’s wrath, human
interventions, too, have led to many calamities in the
recent past. Most of the world’s people live in
‘developing’ economies, as do most of the world’s poor.
They also face the most debilitating consequences in the
form of economic and social disruption caused by
disasters. Disaster mitigation entails measures to reduce
the physical, economic and social vulnerability of a
SCIENCES
community to disasters. It is still an untouched domain,
suffering for want of systematic and committed research
and development inputs. This collection of articles from
several contributors illuminates the pertinence of those
mitigation efforts that would prepare everyone related
with disaster management to comprehend and approach
the problem more holistically.

DHARMENDRA S. SENGAR, Vice Chancellor, Indian Law
Institute, New Delhi.
Today, more than ever before, there is considerable
concern about the deterioration of the environment
arising from environmental pollution—water, air, noise,
radiation and others. For, such pollution has a huge
adverse impact on human health, and the hazards it
poses are too numerous. There is also a felt-need
for environmental protection and management and
effective implementation of environmental laws. This
comprehensive book, authored by Prof. Sengar, an
eminent academic, with his wealth of experience in
various areas of environmental law and management,
brings these issues into sharp focus.
The book highlights problems such as public health and
safety, right to carry on trade vis-à-vis duty to protect
environment, right to information about hazardous
installations, right to clean environment, and ecological
balance for sustainable development. It stresses the
need for striking a balancer between environment and
development to bring about sustainable development.
15
Finally, the text shows how important it is to formulate a
legal framework for environmental protection.
KEY FEATURES
• While giving a broad conceptual overview of
environmental law, the text explains the major
environmental laws, examines the relevant provisions,
and traces the origin of constitutional support to
environmental protection.
• Refers to all leading cases on environmental law and
highlights the role of judiciary on entertaining as well
as restraining public interest litigations (PILs) to stop
environmental violations.
• Provides Appendices containing various environmental
laws.
• The accompanying CD-ROM contains text of all
relevant environmental laws—both general and
specific—to help readers have access to those laws

detail. The electrical system of wind turbines as well as
its adaptation to the grid are emphasised.
The wind climate, the wind resources, the power in the
wind and how to find and utilise sites with the best wind
conditions, is another area that is discussed in detail. The
configuration and selection of wind power plants that suit
local wind conditions and the measures to make these
plants operate effectively and efficiently, are the other
aspects that have been dealt with comprehensively.
To keep India ahead always in wind power development,
energy policy and promotional strategies are also
described in this book.
This book should be a compulsory reading for all who are
engaged in the wind power business as well as for the

Sustainability has become a sine qua non in the study
and practice of engineering. This introductory textbook
aims to make the concepts of sustainable engineering
accessible to undergraduate students of engineering. This
will help them to keep in view the philosophy of
sustainability while learning the core subjects of their
specialisations and will equip them with a set of tools for
this purpose.
In addition to providing a broad-based introduction to the
idea of sustainability and its relevance, the book talks
about environment-related legislation, air and water
pollution, solid waste management, local and global
environmental challenges, climate change and the steps
taken at an international level to manage them. Tools
used to ensure sustainability in engineering activities such
as Environmental Management Systems (EMS) and
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) are mentioned.
Green buildings, green computing, green chemistry,
sustainable cities, sustainable transportation, sustainable
sources of energy, economic and social factors affecting
sustainability including rapid urbanisation and poverty are
also covered. A set of questions, some of them quite
open-ended, are added at the end of each chapter to
help students test their understanding.

Natural Resource Management
MISRA (Ed.)
Managing Natural Resources:
Focus on Land and Water
HARIKESH N. MISRA, Emeritus Professor of Geography in
the University of Allahabad. Currently he is President of
the National Association of Geographers, India (NAGI).
Natural resource management and sustainable
SCIENCES
development has, of late, assumed great importance,
especially because of ecological crisis and environmental
dangers which are looming large. Today the issues related
to natural resource exploitation, consequences, their
conservation, preservation and management leading to
sustainable development have become the major thrust
areas of teaching and research. Also, sustainability of
natural resources, especially water and land resources,
and their efficient use is one of the core programmes
of Government of India’s Twelfth Five Year Plan
(2012–2017) for strategic development; this objective can
only be achieved if the resources are used judiciously.
Although land and water resources—the focus of the
present book—are vital for human survival and
development, unfortunately both are under threat and
are increasing strain worldwide. These resources have
wide and significantly varying implications in rural and
urban settlements, especially in India, where population
has been continuously growing and, therefore, the
demand of land and water is intensifying. This has
necessitated urgent need for reviewing the availability of
land and water resources and their conservation.
Besides dealing with the theoretical aspects, this
compendium presents case studies on natural resources
as well, which reveal ground realities at micro and meso
levels too. Pedagogical features like maps, diagrams,
satellite imageries and latest database of the primary
and secondary nature distinguish this book from other
works on the subject.
The book will be of immense use to postgraduate
students and research scholars of geography and
related disciplines such as rural–urban studies and
environmental science. The thematic approach of the
book provides reasonably good contents for cogitation to
researchers. Policy makers, planners and academicians
may also be benefitted while framing futuristic norms
which may lead to sustainable development—the
ultimate goal.

GEOLOGY
Field Work
MATHUR
Guide to Field Geology (Revised Edition)
SHANKER M. MATHUR, formerly Director, Geological
Survey of India.
Fieldwork in geology is an essential requirement of
undergraduate and postgraduate courses in geology. Like
any other course, Field Geology also requires good course
materials. Students of geology have been deprived of the
very basic knowledge and specialized procedures of
identification of geologic structures in the absence of a
suitable text on field training.
This book is an attempt to fill this lacuna. Written by an
eminent geologist with rich field experience, this book in
an easily readable style covers fieldwork—right from the
preparation for the trip to mapping and observation of
various geological features, and collection of materials for
further study in the laboratory. The text with its
straightforward presentation should prove to be a boon
to students of geology. It is primarily written to assist
students in field training.

Introduction to
Earth System Science
MATHUR
Elements of Geology
SHANKER M. MATHUR, formerly Director, Geological
Survey of India.
Aimed at B.Sc. students of geology, this introductory text
develops a basic understanding of the Earth as a
complex, evolving system of geological processes. This
book will also be of immense use to those postgraduate
students of geology who opt for this stream after
graduating in disciplines other than geology.
Geology as a science has recently gained increasing
importance because of the current developments in oil
and mineral exploration and also because of recent
occurrences of earthquakes and tsunamis.
This book covers the entire spectrum of the geologic
concepts and relates them to the main processes of
geomorphology, earthquakes and volcanoes. Important
types of the three categories of rocks—igneous,
sedimentary and metamorphic—that form the crust of
the Earth are described with their characteristic
mineralogy. Major structures that are born of tectonic
activities are discussed. Palaeontological descriptions
cover not only the plant and animal groups but also other
evidences of life in the geological record and evolution.
An important feature of the text is that modern
stratigraphic methods of classification are outlined
clearly, and the latest geologic time scale with numerical
ages as approved in 2004 by the International
Commission on Stratigrahy of the International Union of
Geological Sciences is incorporated.

all been written in a comprehensible manner so that
even a beginner in Earth Science can easily understand
these phenomena. While outlining the geological and
radiometric methods of measuring the ‘Geological Time’
and characterizing the surface and subsurface geological
record in terms of rock formations, fossils, mineral
deposits, oil, gas and water resources, the book interconnects the magmatic, metamorphic and sedimentary
processes within a ‘System’ driven by the Earth’s internal
heat and the radiations received from the Sun. There is a
full chapter addressing the major present-day concerns
regarding the causes of natural disasters and environmental threats.

implications, and hepatitis viruses.
The knowledge of Human Genetics and Biochemical Basis
of Inheritance has been appropriately expanded to reflect
the latest advancements in various domains. Besides DNA
fingerprinting for identity establishment, the section
discusses epigenetics, micro-RNA and siRNA including
their role in gene expression, chromatin modification and
its association with human diseases, and genetic
engineering. It also explores emerging areas such as
synthetic biology and bioterrorism.
Due emphasis has been given to the section on Cell
Replication and Cancer. Role of Probiotics adds value to
the book. Besides, an entire section has been devoted to
male and female reproductive system, fertilization,
implantation, pregnancy, and lactation. Immunology,
including vaccines and immunization, has been given due
attention with latest updates in this fast growing area.
Modern medicine, despite of its stupendous advances
cannot provide cure for all ailments. Thus, the new

“Into the Cool is a dazzling exposition of an idea: that life
is fundamentally not a noun, or a thing, but a verb.
Building upon the beautiful subtleties of the Second Law
of Thermodynamics, Eric Schneider and Dorion Sagan
take us on a tour de force through biology, touching upon
the origin of life, sex, evolution, ecology, and even
economics. Along the way, they dethrone the idea that
the gene is the central actor in the drama of life and put
the focus properly back on the plot—the organized flows
of matter and energy that make life what it is. This book
is destined to be a classic.”

The what, why and how of life always intrigued human
race. Scientists, philosophers and theologians all have

The Genetics of Cognitive Neuroscience aims to give
the reader a working understanding of the influence
of specific genetics variants on cognition, affective
regulation, personality, and central nervous system
disorders.
It has been known that the aspects of behavior runs in
families; studies shows that characteristics related to
cognition, temperament, and all major psychiatric
disorders are heritable.
The book offers a primer on understanding the genetic
mechanisms of such inherited traits.
The chapters emphasize fundamental issues regarding the
design of experiments, the use of bioinformatics tools,
the integration of data from different levels of analysis
and the validity of finding, arguing that association
between genes and cognitive processes must be
replicable and placed in a neurobiological context for
validation.

Immunology
FATHIMUNISA BEGUM, formerly Reader, Department of
Zoology, Holy Cross College, Tiruchirapalli, Tamil Nadu.
A weak immune system is susceptible to various diseases
and infections caused by foreign bodies like bacteria,
fungus and viruses. From a trivial cold to a serious
cancer—one is prone to all if the immune system is not
strong enough to fight against these foreign bodies. This
text gives a comprehensive account on human immune
system, its basics, types, structure and functions of
antibodies, and the advanced topics of Immunology like
immunodeficiencies and immunotherapy.
The book explains physiological functioning of the
immune system in states of both health and diseases;
malfunctions of the immune system in immunological
disorders (autoimmune diseases, hypersensitivities,
immune deficiency, transplant rejection); the physical,
chemical and physiological characteristics of the
components of the immune system in vitro, in situ, and
in vivo, in detail.
The text embodies a new insight into immunological
concepts in simple, straightforward and comprehensive
language with lucid and clear illustrations. It covers up-todate information on immunoprophylactic, immunodiagnostic and immunotherapeutic methods.
The neatly drawn figures complement the theories well,
enabling the students to grasp the concepts readily. The
Review Questions at the end of the chapters help the
students to think critically and answer. The book also
incorporates competitive examination questions.
The book is intended for the undergraduate and
postgraduate students of Biotechnology, Zoology,
Microbiology, Biochemistry and Immunology. Besides, the

Textbook of Animal Behaviour, 3rd ed.
FATIK BARAN MANDAL, Associate Professor of Zoology,
Bankura Christian College, Bankura, West Bengal.
This well-accepted book, now in its Third Edition, is an
extension of the previous edition. The text has further
enriched with more information to understand animal
behaviour coherently and scientifically.
The book attempts to provide a reasonably suitable
account of animal behaviour for undergraduate as well as
postgraduate students. Although behaviour of animals
has fascinated people for a long, behavioural biology has
been incorporated in the syllabi very recently. The study
of behaviour received its important boost from the work
of Charles Darwin who used the term ‘instinct’, to refer
to the natural behaviour of animals. In the 1930s, a
comprehensive theory of animal behaviour emerged
through the work of Konrad Lorenz and, later of Niko
Tinbergen. Biological study of behaviour, in fact came of
age as a science when Lorenz, Tinbergen and Karl von
Frisch received the Nobel Prize for their contribution to
science.
Observing and describing exactly what animals do is
fascinating and scientific analysis of their behaviour is
significant for several reasons. Each species tends to have
an array of stereotyped behaviours, some of which are
shared with related species, but others are unique.
Ecology,
natural
selection,
macroevolution,
microevolution, and gene constitute the foundation of
animal behaviour. Various animal groups exhibit diverse
strategies for their survival and reproduction which are
discussed in this book.
The book is primarily intended for the students of B.Sc./
M.Sc. (Zoology/Life Science) for their courses. It would be
useful for the researchers in the field of animal
behaviour, and conservation biologists. It would also

The Fourth Edition of the compendium pools together
the knowledge and experience of experts from all over
the world, who are engaged in teaching and research in
the field of biochemistry, medical science and allied
disciplines.
Comprising 20 Sections, the book has been substantially
revised and elaborated in the present edition
incorporating the latest research and achievements in the
field.
Beginning appropriately with chemical architecture of the
living systems, role and significance of biochemical
reactions, organization of specialised tissues, and
importance of food and nutrition, the book explores
beyond traditional boundaries of biochemistry
considering that the study of chemical structure and
metabolism alone is no longer adequate for
understanding body function and dysfunction. Thus, the
knowledge of various organ systems has been expanded
covering their normal function, ailments and dysfunction.
A chapter on Eye explains molecular basis of cataract and
glaucoma emphasizing the role of stem cells in restoring
vision.
A section on Liver and Biliary System elaborates on
physiology and dysfunction including fatty liver and its
implications, and hepatitis viruses.
The knowledge of Human Genetics and Biochemical Basis
of Inheritance has been appropriately expanded to reflect
the latest advancements in various domains. Besides DNA
fingerprinting for identity establishment, the section
discusses epigenetics, micro-RNA and siRNA including
their role in gene expression, chromatin modification and
its association with human diseases, and genetic
engineering. It also explores emerging areas such as
synthetic biology and bioterrorism.
Due emphasis has been given to the section on Cell
Replication and Cancer. Role of Probiotics adds value to
the book. Besides, an entire section has been devoted to
male and female reproductive system, fertilization,
implantation, pregnancy, and lactation. Immunology,
including vaccines and immunization, has been given due
attention with latest updates in this fast growing area.
Modern medicine, despite of its stupendous advances
57
cannot provide cure for all ailments. Thus, the new
edition provides knowledge of alternative medicine
systems—Ayurveda, Homeopathy, Unani and Herbal
Medicine.
Incorporating vast information on the latest and
emerging areas, the book will be of immense value to the
students of medical science not only in their preclinical
years, but also in all phases of medical course including
postgraduate degree and practice. Besides, it will also
serve as a valuable source to the students of
biochemistry and human biology.

Intended primarily as an introductory textbook for
the postgraduate students of atmospheric sciences,
geophysics, and meteorology, this book would also be
extremely useful to all those engaged in meteorological
research. The book, comprising fifteen chapters, provides
a detailed treatment of various aspects of atmospheric
phenomena and their underlying physical principles. It
offers a study of both physical and dynamical aspects
of the atmosphere. After discussing the fundamental
processes such as origin of the atmosphere, atmospheric
thermodynamics, atmospheric radiation and cloud and
precipitation formation, the book focuses on equipping
students with a thorough understanding of weather and
climate. The book also deals with large-scale systems
such as waves and synoptic disturbances in lower and
mid-altitudes. Global energy balance, general circulation,
numerical modelling and chaos in the atmosphere are all
well covered in great detail.
The book also provides eighty-four worked-out problems
and four FORTRAN programs to solve the non-divergent
vorticity equation, the shallow water equation as well as
the numerical solution of the forced damped pendulum
and that of the Lorenz system. Execution of these
computer programs will enable the students to
understand concepts such as convergence, stability and
issues of choosing the necessary step size in space and
time, respectively.

SHETTY
Materials Science and Engineering:
Problems with Solutions
M.N. SHETTY, formerly Professor, Department of Material
Sciences and Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology,
Kanpur.
This book, with analytical solutions to 260 select
problems, is primarily designed for the second year core
course on materials science. The treatment of the book
reflects the author’s experience of teaching this course
comprehensively at IIT-Kanpur for a number of years to
the students of engineering and 5-year integrated disciplines.
The problems have been categorised into five sections
covering a wide range of solid state properties. Section 1
deals with the dual representation of a wave and a
particle and then comprehensively explains the behaviour
of particles within potential barriers. It provides solutions
to the problems that how the energy levels of a free
atom lead to the formation of energy bands in solids. The
statistics of the distribution of particles in different
energy states in a solid has been detailed leading to the
derivation of Maxwell–Boltzmann, Bose–Einstein, and
Fermi–Dirac statistics and their mutual relationships.
Quantitative derivation of the Fermi energy has been
obtained by considering free electron energy distribution
in solids and then considering Fermi–Dirac distribution as
a function of temperature. The derivation of the
Richardson’s equation and the related work function has
been quantitatively dealt with. The phenomenon of
tunnelling has been dealt with in terms of quantum
mechanics, whereas the band structure and electronic
properties of materials are given quantitative treatment
by using Fermi–Dirac distribution function.
Section 2 deals with the nature of the chemical bonds,
types of bonds and their effect on properties, followed by
a detailed presentation of crystal structures of some
common materials and a discussion on the structures of
C60 and carbon nanotubes. Coordination and packing in
crystal structures are considered next followed by a
detailed X-ray analysis of simple crystal structures,
imperfections in crystals, diffusion, phase equilibria, and
mechanical behaviour.
Section 3 deals with thermal and electrical properties and
their mutual relationships. Calculations of Debye
frequency, Debye temperature, and Debye specific heat
are presented in great detail. A brief section on
superconductivity considers both the conventional and
the high–TC superconductors.
Sections 4 and 5 deal with the magnetic and dielectric
materials, considering magnetic properties from the point
of view of the band theory of solids. Crystal structures of
some common ferrites are given in detail. Similarly, the
displacement characteristics in dielectrics are considered
from their charge displacements giving rise to some
degree of polarization in the materials.

Introduction to Particle Physics
M.P. KHANNA, Professor, Department of Physics, Panjab
University, Chandigarh.
This comprehensive and well-organized book focusses on
the phenomenological aspects of particle physics. It
strikes a fine balance between those texts that require
sophisticated mathematical physics and those that are
too elementary. For, unlike in many books on the subject,
77
which give prominence to gauge theories, the attempt
here is to lay stress on phenomenology — an aspect that
needs exposure among students of high energy physics.
In this text, the author, with his wealth of experience and
expertise, gives a masterly analysis of such topics as
symmetries, quark model, current concepts of gauge
theories, the standard model, and flavour physics. He
also highlights the role that currents have played in
electromagnetic and weak interactions, and of
nonleptonic weak decays in weak interactions. Finally, the
text provides an adequate coverage of heavy quark
physics, which is so timely for prospective high energy
physicists, and deals with the recent developments.
Designed as a one-semester/one-year course on Particle
Physics at the postgraduate level and as a first reading
for research students, the book should prove both useful
and stimulating.

Plasma Physics
UBEROI
Introduction to Unmagnetized Plasmas
CHANCHAL UBEROI, formerly Professor, Department
of Applied Mathematics, Indian Institute of Science,
Bangalore.
This compact and well-organized text provides an
introduction to plasma physics and shows the interaction
of plasmas without any external magnetic fields. It deals
with the concepts, processes, and characteristic features
associated with plasmas.
The interaction of magnetic fields on plasma is purposely
excluded in this introductory text to help students grasp
the basics first, which makes the understanding of the
effects of the magnetic fields easier in the subsequent
courses.
The book begins with a review of the concepts of kinetic
theory of gases, collision phenomena in ionized gases
and motion of charged particles. It goes on to give a
discussion on the characteristic properties of plasmas and
conditions to be satisfied for an ionized gas to show
plasma behaviour. In addition, the text covers such topics
as transport processes, plasma oscillations, and plasma as
a dielectric medium, as a charged fluid, and as a manybody system. Finally, it provides a systematic analysis of

KRORI
Principles of Non-relativistic and
Relativistic Quantum Mechanics
K.D. KRORI, Director, Theoretical Physics Foundations,
Guwahati and Member, Physics Academy of the North
East, Guwahati.
Quantum mechanics emerged as one of the greatest
discoveries in science owing to pioneering work and
individual contributions of eminent scientists-Planck,
Einstein, Bohr, Compton, de Broglie, Schrodinger,
Heisenberg, and Dirac-over a span of three decades from
1900 to 1930. Later, path integral formalism and
quantum electrodynamics came through the work of
Feynman. Still later, Weinberg and Salam developed the
electroweak theory. The entire spectrum of both nonrelativistic quantum mechanics and relativistic quantum
mechanics has been covered in this book in a simple style
to be truly beneficial to all levels of students.
The book is organized into three parts. The first part des-
SCIENCES
cribes the development of quantum theory, starting from
Planck's law to de Broglie hypothesis. The Schrodinger
theory has been introduced with relevant logic. This part
also includes the treatments of angular momentum, path
integral formalism, two-electron systems and interaction
of radiation with matter. The second part deals with
relativistic quantum theory including Klein-Gordon and
Dirac equations, Weyl's neutrino theory, ending with
gauge theory applied to Salam-Weinberg electroweak
theory. The third part delves into the conceptual
foundations of quantum mechanics, and Einstein-Bohr
debate culminating in Bell's inequality theorem. The book
concludes with a discussion on three quantum interference effects in electromagnetic and gravitation fields
each of which has a deep physical importance.
Throughout, the book is suitably illustrated to clarify the
concepts and contains worked-out problems as well as
chapter-end exercises.
This book is intended for undergraduate and postgraduate students of physics and chemistry.

“Into the Cool is a dazzling exposition of an idea: that life
is fundamentally not a noun, or a thing, but a verb.
Building upon the beautiful subtleties of the Second Law
of Thermodynamics, Eric Schneider and Dorion Sagan
take us on a tour de force through biology, touching upon
the origin of life, sex, evolution, ecology, and even
economics. Along the way, they dethrone the idea that
the gene is the central actor in the drama of life and put
the focus properly back on the plot—the organized flows
of matter and energy that make life what it is. This book
is destined to be a classic.”
—J. SCOTT TURNER
Physiologist, author of The Extended Organism
The what, why and how of life always intrigued human
race. Scientists, philosophers and theologians all have
tried to answer these questions in their own way. In this

MARWAHA
Introduction to Linear Algebra, An
ALKA MARWAHA, Associate Professor, Jesus and Mary
College, University of Delhi.
This book is meant for an introductory course in linear
algebra for undergraduate students of mathematics.
It deals with the concept of vector spaces and special
types of functions defined on them called linear transformations or operators. The vector spaces considered in
the book are finite-dimensional, a concept that involves
representation of vectors in terms of a finite number of
vectors which form a basis for the vector spaces.
Written from a student’s perspective, this textbook
explains the basic concepts in a manner that the student
would be able to grasp the subject easily. Numerous
solved examples and exercises given at the end of nearly
each section will help the student to gain confidence in
his/her analytical skills.
What makes this book probably stand apart from other
standard books on finite-dimensional linear algebra is the
introduction to Hilbert Space Theory. The generic model
MATHEMATICS/STATISTICS
of a finite-dimensional Hilbert space (real or complex) is
IRn or ?n but the true relevance of operators in Hilbert
spaces surfaces only when they are infinite-dimensional.
In order to properly comprehend the structure of an
infinite-dimensional Hilbert space, it is important to
grasp it at the finite-dimensional level. Although finitedimensional Hilbert spaces are discussed comprehensively
in the first eight chapters, it is only in the last three
chapters that the treatment of Hilbert spaces is given in a
setting which can be easily extended to defining infinitedimensional Hilbert spaces. After going through this
textbook, the students will have a clear understanding of
the model of a Hilbert space in finite-dimensions and will
then be able to smoothly make the transition to infinitedimensional Hilbert Space Theory.

This work of translation of the classic Russian textbook
emphasizes a fresh modern approach to the geometric
qualitative theory of ordinary differential equations. The
subject matter of this book is dominated by two central
ideas and their ramifications: the theorem on rectifiability
of a vector field and the theory of one-parameter groups
of linear transformations. While the author has taken
the liberty to omit some of the more specialized topics
usually included in books on ordinary differential
equations, the applications of these equations to
mechanics, on the contrary, have been considered in
more detail than the customary approach.
KEY FEATURES
• Emphasizes the geometrical and intuitive aspects while
familiarizing the students with the concepts of flows on
manifolds and tangent bundles.
• Presents a wealth of topics accompanied by many
thought-provoking examples, problems and figures.
• Assumes the reader to possess a knowledge not
beyond the scope of the standard elementary courses
on analysis and linear algebra.

applied to the analysis of systems with constant or
periodic coefficients and also serve as a guide in the
study of eigenvalues and eigenfunction expansions. In
addition to the thorough treatment of classical power
series techniques, matrix-valued series are used for the
development of the experimental function. Methods of
real analysis are used to understand convergence
of series solutions to equations, existence theorems

a separate chapter as the subject has wide applications
in computer science. In addition, the book presents some
of the classical problems of the calculus of variations,
including the brachistochrone problem. The text
concludes with a discussion on tensor analysis which has
important applications in the study of continuum
mechanics, theory of relativity, and elasticity.
Intended primarily as a text for undergraduate students
of engineering, postgraduate students of mathematics
(M.Sc.), and master of computer applications (MCA), the

This text offers a comprehensive presentation of the
mathematics required to tackle problems in economic
analyses. To give a better understanding of the
mathematical concepts, the text follows the logic of the
development of mathematics rather than that of an
economics course. The only prerequisite is high school
algebra, but the book goes on to cover all the
mathematics needed for undergraduate economics. It is
also a useful reference for graduate students. After a
review of the fundamentals of sets, numbers, and
functions, the book covers limits and continuity, the
calculus of functions of the one variable, linear algebra,
multivariate calculus, and dynamics. To develop the
student’s problem-solving skills, the book works through
a large number of examples and economic applications.
This streamlined third edition offers an array of new and
updated examples. Additionally, lengthier proofs and
examples are provided on the book’s website http://
mitpress.mit.edu/math_econ3. The book and the Web
material are cross-referenced in the text. A Student
Solutions Manual is available in ebook form, and
instructors are able to access online the Instructor’s
Manual, which includes PowerPoint slides.

Functional Analysis
KRISHNAN
Textbook of Functional Analysis:
A Problem-Oriented Approach, 2nd ed.
V.K. KRISHNAN, former Professor of Mathematics, St.
Thomas College, Thrissur (Kerala), is a distinguished
teacher with a keen insight into mathematical concepts
and problems.
This unique, comprehensive and student-friendly book,
now in its second edition, continues to hold the purpose
of explaining and illustrating the use of the basic
theorems in functional analysis through solved numerical
problems. The text has been revised on the basis of the
readers’ feedback. The book now covers ample workedout numerical problems related to the spectral properties
of compact operators on Banach spaces as well as on
Hilbert spaces. Inclusion of a few problems based on the
square root of a positive operator also contributes to the
major highlights of this edition. Such a practical approach
will greatly facilitate students to have a thorough grasp of
the subject. This stands in stark contrast to the method
followed in most of the books where a great amount of
theory is given with a smattering of problems to
elucidate the topics discussed.
Intended as a text for the students pursuing postgraduate
courses in mathematics, this book with its systematic and
precise presentation and provision of a large number of
exercises should prove to be a trendsetter in its approach
to the subject. This novelty of approach appeals the
students in particular.

M. THAMBAN NAIR, Associate Professor of Mathematics
at Indian Institute of Technology Madras, Chennai.
Intended as an introductory-level text on Functional
Analysis for the postgraduate students in Mathematics,
this compact and well-organized text covers all the topics
considered essential to the subject. In so doing, it
provides a very good understanding of the subject to the
reader.
The book begins with a review of linear algebra, and then
it goes on to give the basic notion of a norm on linear
space (proving thereby most of the basic results),
progresses gradually, dealing with operators, and proves
some of the basic theorems of Functional Analysis.
Besides, the book analyzes more advanced topics like
dual space considerations, compact operators, and
spectral theory of Banach and Hilbert space operators.
The text is so organized that it strives, particularly in the
last chapter, to apply and relate the basic theorems to
problems which arise while solving operator equations.
KEY FEATURES
• Plenty of examples have been worked out in detail,
which not only illustrate a particular result, but also
point towards its limitations so that subsequent
stronger results follow.
• Exercises, which are meant to aid understanding and to
promote mastery of the subject, are interspersed
throughout the text.
This student-friendly text, with its clear exposition of
concepts, should prove to be a boon to the beginner
aspiring to have an insight into Functional Analysis.

A Course in Game Theory presents the main ideas of
game theory at a level suitable for postgraduate and
advanced undergraduate students of Economics,
emphasizing the theory’s foundations and interpretations
of its basic concepts. The authors provide precise
definitions and full proofs of results, sacrificing
generalities and limiting the scope of the material in
order to do so. The text is organized in four parts:
strategic games, extensive games with perfect
information, extensive games with imperfect information,
and coalitional games. It also includes over 100 exercises.
Martin Osborne and Ariel Rubinstein have made most of
their theoretical contributions on the strategic side, and
yet they devote a nice portion of the book to cooperative
game theory. I recommend this book highly. It is
beautifully done, and it recognizes the importance of the
cooperative theory.

Measure Theory
BASU
Measure Theory and Probability, 2nd ed.
(Late) A.K. BASU, was formerly faculty in the Department
of Statistics, Calcutta University.
This compact and well-received book, now in its second
edition, is a skilful combination of measure theory and
probability. For, in contrast to many books where
probability theory is usually developed after a thorough
exposure to the theory and techniques of measure and
integration, this text develops the Lebesgue theory of
measure and integration, using probability theory as the
motivating force.
What distinguishes the text is the illustration of all
theorems by examples and applications. A section on
Stieltjes integration assists the student in understanding
the later text better.
For easy understanding and presentation, this edition has
split some long chapters into smaller ones. For example,
old Chapter 3 has been split into Chapters 3 and 9, and
old Chapter 11 has been split into Chapters 11, 12
and 13.
The book is intended for the first-year postgraduate
students for their courses in Statistics and Mathematics
(pure and applied), computer science, and electrical and
industrial engineering.
KEY FEATURES
• Measure theory and probability are well integrated.
• Exercises are given at the end of each chapter, with
solutions provided separately.
• A section is devoted to large sample theory of
statistics, and another to large deviation theory (in the
Appendix).

Relativity and Cosmology
BANERJI & BANERJEE
Special Theory of Relativity, The, 2nd ed.
SANJOY MAHAJAN.
Foreword by Carver A. Mead.
Traditional mathematics teaching is largely about solving
exactly stated problems exactly, yet life often hands us
partly defined problems needing only moderately
accurate solutions. This engaging book is an antidote to
the rigor mortis brought on by too much mathematical
rigor, teaching us how to guess answers without needing
a proof or an exact calculation.
Street-Fighting Mathematics, builds, sharpens, and
demonstrates tools for educated guessing and
opportunistic problem solving across diverse fields of
knowledge—from mathematics to management. The
author describes six tools: dimensional analysis, easy
cases, lumping, picture proofs, successive approximation,
and reasoning by analogy. Illustrating each tool with
numerous examples, he carefully separates the tool—the
general principle—from the particular application so that
the reader can most easily grasp the tool itself to use on
problems of particular interest.
Many everyday problems require quick, approximate
answers. Street-Fighting Mathematics teaches a crucial
skill that the traditional science curriculum fails to
develop: how to obtain order-of-magnitude estimates for
a broad variety of problems. This book will be invaluable
to anyone wishing to become a better informed
professional.

and of Applied Physics, Harvard University

B.R. Ambedkar University, Agra.
NAMITA SRIVASTAVA, Associate Professor, Department of
Statistics, St. John’s College, Agra.
Intended as a textbook for a core paper on Statistical
Inference: Testing of Hypotheses at the undergraduate
level, and one semester course at the master’s level,
it emphasizes on J. Neyman and Egon Pearson’s
mathematical foundations of hypothesis testing, which is
one of the finest methodologies of reaching conclusions
on population parameter.
Following Wald and Ferguson’s approach, the book
presents Neyman-Pearson theory under broader premises
of decision theory resulting into simplification and
generalization of results. On account of smooth
mathematical development of this theory, the book
outlines the main result on Lebesgue theory in abstract
spaces prior to rigorous theoretical developments on
most powerful (MP), uniformly most powerful (UMP)
and UMP unbiased tests for different types of testing
problems. Likelihood ratio tests their large sample
properties to variety of testing situations and connection
between confidence estimation and testing of hypothesis
have been discussed in separate chapters.
The book illustrates simplification of testing problems and
reduction in dimensionality of class of tests resulting into
existence of an optimal test through the principle of
sufficiency and invariance. It concludes with rigorous
theoretical developments on non-parametric tests
including their optimality, asymptotic relative efficiency,
consistency, and asymptotic null distribution.

This book is sequel to a book Statistical Inference: Testing
of Hypotheses (published by PHI Learning). Intended for
the postgraduate students of statistics, it introduces the
problem of estimation in the light of foundations laid
down by Sir R.A. Fisher (1922) and follows both classical
and Bayesian approaches to solve these problems.
The book starts with discussing the growing levels of data
summarization to reach maximal summarization and
connects it with sufficient and minimal sufficient
statistics. The book gives a complete account of theorems
and results on uniformly minimum variance unbiased
estimators (UMVUE)—including famous Rao and
Blackwell theorem to suggest an improved estimator
based on a sufficient statistic and Lehmann-Scheffe
theorem to give an UMVUE. It discusses Cramer-Rao and
Bhattacharyya variance lower bounds for regular models,
by introducing Fishers information and Chapman, Robbins
and Kiefer variance lower bounds for Pitman models.
Besides, the book introduces different methods of
estimation including famous method of maximum
likelihood and discusses large sample properties such as
134
PHI Learning — CATALOGUE 2016
consistency, consistent asymptotic normality (CAN) and
best asymptotic normality (BAN) of different estimators.
Separate chapters are devoted for finding Pitman
estimator, among equivariant estimators, for location and
scale models, by exploiting symmetry structure, present
in the model, and Bayes, Empirical Bayes, Hierarchical
Bayes estimators in different statistical models.
Systematic exposition of the theory and results in
different statistical situations and models, is one of the
several attractions of the presentation. Each chapter is
concluded with several solved examples, in a number of
statistical models, augmented with exposition of
theorems and results.
KEY FEATURES
• Provides clarifications for a number of steps in the
proof of theorems and related results.
• Includes numerous solved examples to improve
analytical insight on the subject by illustrating the
application of theorems and results.
• Incorporates Chapter-end exercises to review student’s
comprehension of the subject.
• Discusses detailed theory on data summarization,
unbiased estimation with large sample properties,
Bayes and Minimax estimation, separately, in different
chapters.

Very few standard books on neurological examination are
available in the market today that give a comprehensive
analysis of the subject. Here, for the first time, a wellknown neurologist, Dr. Navneet Kumar, with his expertise
and his many years of experience in teaching and treating
numerous patients afflicted with various neurological
disorders, tells the medical students as well as practising
physicians or neurologists how to conduct neurological
examination of the patient in a scientific and systematic
manner. He shows with, great skill, how the examination
of first impression and gait, history taking, and
examination of higher mental functions including speech
are to be conducted.
The text focuses on, among others, the examination of all
the cranial nerves (First to Twelfth), the motor system,
movement disorders, the sensory system, the autonomic
nervous system, and bladder dysfunction, with equal
deftness. Finally, this handbook provides different
approaches to examine the unconscious patient, and
special neurological situations, the methods of
neurological investigation, as well as the methods of case
sheet writing.

NAVNEET KUMAR
Textbook of Neurology
NAVNEET KUMAR, Director, Professor and Head, Department of Medicine, as well as Head of Neurology Division,
GSVM Medical College, Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh (UP).
Neurology, a subject considered to be complex, studies
the nervous system, and the disorders and diseases
associated with it. Most medical students find it a ‘tough’
subject. Though quite a few books are available in the
market on the subject, somehow they fail to explain the
topics in an accessible style to the students. What this
comprehensive and reader-friendly book strives to do is
to demystify the subject and make it comprehensible
even to the average reader.
The book encompasses, within the covers of a single
volume, all aspects of neurology with great skill and
dexterity. It gives an in-depth treatment of such topics as
disorders of consciousness, language and speech
disorders, sleep disorders, movement disorders, vertigo
and ataxia. Dr. Navneet Kumar, with his expertise and
long years of experience, gives a masterly analysis of
many other topics such as headaches including migraine,
backaches, meningitis and strokes—in both the young
and the elderly. He devotes four chapters exclusively to
Epilepsy, a disease dreaded by many, with lots of
superstitions attached to it. What’s more, he discusses in
detail about a host of other topics in neurology, for
example, the early diagnosis of dementia, Alzheimer’s
disease, and neurological and psychiatric disorders.
This book is intended primarily as a text for students of
MD and DNB Medicine as well as for students of
Paediatrics. Besides, students of MBBS, DM (Neurology)
and M.Ch. (Neurosurgery) as also practising physicians,
who wish to have a deeper knowledge of the subject will
find the book quite useful.
KEY FEATURES
• Describes modern investigative techniques in the
diagnosis of nervous system disorders; these include
EEG, CAT scan, MRI, PET scan, and EMG.
• Provides photographs, and a large number of diagrams
and tables to illustrate the concepts discussed.
• Acquaints the readers with the latest methods of
neurological therapy, such as gene therapy and stem
cell therapy.

The Fourth Edition of the compendium pools together
the knowledge and experience of experts from all over
the world, who are engaged in teaching and research in
the field of biochemistry, medical science and allied
disciplines.
Comprising 20 Sections, the book has been substantially
revised and elaborated in the present edition
incorporating the latest research and achievements in the
field.
Beginning appropriately with chemical architecture of the
living systems, role and significance of biochemical
reactions, organization of specialised tissues, and
importance of food and nutrition, the book explores
beyond traditional boundaries of biochemistry
considering that the study of chemical structure and
metabolism alone is no longer adequate for
understanding body function and dysfunction. Thus, the
knowledge of various organ systems has been expanded
covering their normal function, ailments and dysfunction.
A chapter on Eye explains molecular basis of cataract and
glaucoma emphasizing the role of stem cells in restoring
vision.
A section on Liver and Biliary System elaborates on
physiology and dysfunction including fatty liver and its
implications, and hepatitis viruses.
The knowledge of Human Genetics and Biochemical Basis
of Inheritance has been appropriately expanded to reflect
the latest advancements in various domains. Besides DNA
fingerprinting for identity establishment, the section
discusses epigenetics, micro-RNA and siRNA including
their role in gene expression, chromatin modification and
its association with human diseases, and genetic
engineering. It also explores emerging areas such as
synthetic biology and bioterrorism.
Due emphasis has been given to the section on Cell
Replication and Cancer. Role of Probiotics adds value to
the book. Besides, an entire section has been devoted to
male and female reproductive system, fertilization,
implantation, pregnancy, and lactation. Immunology,
including vaccines and immunization, has been given due
attention with latest updates in this fast growing area.
Modern medicine, despite of its stupendous advances
cannot provide cure for all ailments. Thus, the new
edition provides knowledge of alternative medicine
systems—Ayurveda, Homeopathy, Unani and Herbal
Medicine.
Incorporating vast information on the latest and
emerging areas, the book will be of immense value to the
students of medical science not only in their preclinical
years, but also in all phases of medical course including
postgraduate degree and practice. Besides, it will also
serve as a valuable source to the students of
biochemistry and human biology.
