Lokāyata/Cārvāka
Philosophy in Indian tradition as a purely secular and rational exercise can be located in the Lokāyata/Cārvāka school of Indian philosophy. Due to the lack of substantial literary sources, scholars did not try to explore Lokāyata philosophically. The present work is the first attempt to explore the philosophical energies inherent in the scattered Cārvāka literature through critical and analytical discussions firmly grounded in textual evidences.
Essentials of Materials Science and Engineering
Discover why materials behave as the way they do with ESSENTIALS OF MATERIALS SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING, 4TH Edition. Materials engineering explains how to process materials to suit specific engineering designs. Rather than simply memorizing facts or lumping materials into broad categories, you gain an understanding of the whys and hows behind materials science and engineering. This knowledge of materials science provides an important a framework for comprehending the principles used to engineer materials. Detailed solutions and meaningful examples assist in learning principles while numerous end-of-chapter problems offer significant practice. Important Notice: Media content referenced within the product description or the product text may not be available in the ebook version.
The Yogasūtra of Patañjali
This book offers a systematic and radical introduction to the Buddhist roots of Pātañjala-yoga, or the Yoga system of Patañjali. By examining each of 195 aphorisms (sūtras) of the Yogasūtra and discussing the Yogabhāṣya, it shows that traditional and popular views on Pātañjala-yoga obscure its true nature. The book argues that Patañjali’s Yoga contains elements rooted in both orthodox and heterodox philosophical traditions, including Sāṅkhya, Jaina and Buddhist thought. With a fresh translation and a detailed commentary on the Yogasūtra, the author unearths how several of the terms, concepts and doctrines in Patañjali’s Yoga can be traced to Buddhism, particularly the Abh...
Climate Change in the Himalayas
This book analyzes the issues associated with climate change in the Himalayas. The purpose of choosing the Himalayas as a focus is because it is a particularly fragile mountain system, highly sensitive to climate change impacts, and it contains one of the largest human populations affected by climate change. The book provides extensive data and information regarding the climate history of the Himalayas, and the current effects of climate change on Himalayan weather systems, and on human and animal populations in the region. The book begins with an overview of global climate change with discussions of data trends and international initiatives, then segues into a history of climate changes and...

Essentials of Polymer Science and Engineering
"Written by two of the best-known scientists in the field, Paul C. Painter and Michael M. Coleman, this unique text helps students, as well as professionals in industry, understand the science, and appreciate the history, of polymers. Composed in a witty and accessible style, the book presents a comprehensive account of polymer chemistry and related engineering concepts, highly illustrated with worked problems and hundreds of clearly explained formulas. In contrast to other books, 'Essentials' adds historical information about polymer science and scientists and shows how laboratory discoveries led to the development of modern plastics."--DEStech Publications web-site.

Electro-rheological Fluids And Magneto-rheological Suspensions - Proceedings Of The 7th International Conference
Electrorheological (ER) and magnetorheological (MR) fluids, which can be transformed from the liquid state into the solid state in milliseconds by applying an electric or a magnetic field, are smart fluids having the potential to revolutionize several industrial sectors. The Seventh International Conference on Electrorheological Fluids and Magnetorheological Suspensions took place at a time when some MR and ER applications were beginning to appear on the market, making a notable impact on industries. Scientists and engineers in multidisciplinary areas came together to explore the state-of-the-art technology and identify thrust areas to be focused on.This volume of proceedings collects contri...
