Focused on the theme of the sociology of religion, this volume brings together essays by well-known scholars which examine the resurgence of religious identities in the Indian context. The contributors question many received notions, address critical problems, and raise important issues surrounding various current debates./-//-/The papers are divided into four sections. The first deals with religion, society and national identity. The next section is devoted to sects, cults, shrines and the making of traditions. The third section discusses religious conversion, while the last section provides a comparative perspective drawn from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Trinidad and Tobago, and the United States. /-//-/Tackling a subject of immense contemporary importance and demonstrating a sensitivity to the shifts and changes brought about in faith, identity and tradition, this volume will be of considerable interest to students of sociology, anthropology, religion, politics and history./-//-/This book is one of the Indian Sociological Society: Golden Jubilee Volumes.

Designed as a textbook for undergraduate students in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Computer Science, and Information Technology, this up-to-date, well-organized study gives an exhaustive treatment of the basic principles of Digital Electronics and Logic Design. It aims at bridging the gap between these two subjects. The many years of teaching undergraduate and postgraduate students of engineering that Professor Somanathan Nair has done is reflected in the in-depth analysis and student-friendly approach of this book. Concepts are illustrated with the help of a large number of diagrams so that students can comprehend the subject with ease. Worked-out examples within the text illustrate the concepts discussed, and questions at the end of each chapter drill the students in self-study.
This comprehensive and well-organized text discusses the fundamentals of electronic communication, such as devices and analog and digital circuits, which are so essential for an understanding of digital electronics. Professor Santiram Kal, with his wealth of knowledge and his years of teaching experience, compresses, within the covers of a single volume, all the aspects of electronics - both analog and digital - encompassing devices such as microprocessors, microcontrollers, fibre optics, and photonics. In so doing, he has struck a fine balance between analog and digital electronics. A distinguishing feature of the book is that it gives case studies in modern applications of electronics, including information technology, that is, DBMS, multimedia, computer networks, Internet, and optical communication. Worked-out examples, interspersed throughout the text, and the large number of diagrams should enable the student to have a better grasp of the subject. Besides, exercises, given at the end of each chapter, will sharpen the student's mind in self-study. These student-friendly features are intended to enhance the value of the text and make it both useful and interesting.
A research work carried out to find out the relationship between Brain Dominance and Leadership Style of the High School Teachers. The book gives a clear conceptual framework of the work that lays the rationale base to purse research explaining the theories, concepts and facts with supportive illustrations and evidences. Inferentially justifying the study, considering its significance, a scientific and systematic approach in tune with the norms of research, proceeds to formulation of objectives and hypotheses. An extensive review of literature is surveyed to make this work unique and original. The standardized Brain Dominance tool and the self-constructed Leadership Style tool pave the path for exploring the relationship of these two variables among the high school teachers. The arrived at findings, based on computations, will indeed throw a lightning of spark to succeed and shine in the track of education and if judiciously also in the field of corporate sectors.
