Kamasutra of Vatsyayana is the first available work in Indian tradition on sex and love and social issues related to these. It is a scientific work of encyclopedic nature. There is no other work in Sanskrit presenting such comprehensive documentation on sexual behaviour life styles sports and festivals as prevailing in different regions of this vast peninsula in ancient times. An edition of the complete text of Kamasutra with an authentic English translation has been in need for the past two centuries. The present edition has been prepared by Prof. Radhavallabh Tripathi a reputed scholar of Sahityasastra and Natyasastra to meet this long standing requirement. The present volume is divided in three parts. The first part presents a complete study of Kamasutra. In this erudite and extensive introduction Prof. Tripathi has traced the origin of the tradition of Kamasutra on Vedas and Upanisads and has presented an analysis of the contents of Kamasutra alongwith the holistic approach and world view of Vatsyayana as well as his scientific perspective. In the second part the text has been edited on the basis of various printed editions. Readings at a number of places have been corrected and readings accepted by Yasodhara and other commentators have been noted. The third part comprises detailed notes on the text. References from Arthasastra smrtis and other texts have been given here for comparison. An index of proper names technical terms and topics from the text of Kamasutra has been added with equivalents in English.

This book deals with the screening of some plant extracts and essential oils against a most common citrus blue mould rot pathogen and presents the findings of research work and the future prospect of essential oils of Mentha arvensis Ocimum canum and Zingiber officinale in control of citrus fruits by protecting them from fungal rotting. The aqueous extract of A. nilotica and Kaempferol isolated from the bark of A. nilotica have also shown the potential to protect the citrus fruits. The active principle were standardized through IR NMR and Mass spectroscopic methods. The essential oils have been found to be non mammalian toxic in nature by pharmacological evaluation. The book is divided into five chapters. Chapter one is Introduction introduces the importance of the problem. Chapter two is Review of literature which is the review of the earlier work done on some natural plant products. Chapter three is Material methods and results in which all the techniques used during the course of research are mentioned and results are presented. Chapter four presents the conclusions and discussion which are derived from the work. Chapter five is Summary in which the entire work has been summarized.

Data generated through satellite remote sensing have successfully been utilised for better understanding of evolution of man and his activities in the past. This book provides an introduction to the remote sensing technology and its applications in the field of archaeology. It exposes archaeologists to the modern scientific developments in the field of space technology by presenting basic technological information in a simple language. It contains research articles contributed by expert scientists which illustrate practical applications of remote sensing methods in various fields of archaeology for identification of buried of sunken ancient sites delineation of large monuments palaeo channels and quantitative geomorphological mapping monitoring and management of archaeological sites. A number of case studies of ancient Indian cities like Kausambi Srasvasti Sisupalgarh Nalanda Dvaraka Ujjain Baroda Hampi and Adams Bridge Indo Gangetic Plain etc. demonstrate utility of high resolution remote sensing data. Studies of palaeo channels of Sarasvati Sabarmati Banas etc. in Haryana Punjab Rajasthan Gujarat and Tamil Nadu included in the book are of great significance for understanding palaeo environment and geomorphological changes for archaeological interpretation. The book would bring the archaeologists and scientists together for utilisation of latest technology in the field of archaeology for study and preservation of cultural heritage.

Foreign capital flows I Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). 5. Foreign capital flows II Foreign Portfolio Investment (FPI). 6. Foreign exchange management. 7. WTO and India. Bibliography. The importance of external sector in India's economic development has been well recognized and reinforced especially since the initiation of economic reforms in 1991. A study of India's external sector includes a study of a number of aspects such as value composition direction of foreign trade trade policies pursued balance of payments status role of foreign capital WTO related issues (such as textile and patents) etc. A paradigm shift in India's Trade Policy enabled it to not only overcome severe BOP crisis (occurred in 1991) but also provide the much needed resilience to the economy. India has been experiencing surpluses on current account for the past three successive years and has built up foreign exchange reserves to the tune of $128.91 billion as on Feb. 4 2005. Besides there has been a perceptible change in the magnitude composition and direction of foreign trade as well as a structural change in BOP account. Unlike past India's export basket is now more diversified and gaining more strength from the manufactured goods thereby reducing the share of agriculture and allied products. However in terms of the share of total world trade India's performance has not been so good. It caters to only 0.8 per cent of total world trade at present (as against 2 per cent in early 1950s). This book provides a comprehensive coverage and analysis of various aspects of India's external sector. The present volume should be of interest and use to those in research academics business government and to policymakers engaged in the management of economic policy reforms. It also caters to the needs of students of economics and international business.

Of late the growth of communication system in India has been at a surprisingly rapid pace and without a shadow of doubt the communication in every sense has been on a reformative and innovative path. The nation has witnessed a revolutionary change in the sphere of telecommunication. Availing the facilities of the changed version of telecommunication is getting cheaper by the day. Mobile phones have become almost a prerequisite necessity for living in this fast changing busy world. Talking taking pictures sending and receiving e mails and getting faxes is all possible from this instrument in hand. Just by a click of a mouse one can have access to the sea of information on any topic under the sun. The information technology has a major role in today's highly revolutionizing communication system. Internet in different hues makes the communication system very easy and wide ranging. Different web portals are there to provide information which can be accessed even from the remotest part of the world. Television channels provide us with live news from all over the world. The present book provides the reader with a comprehensive idea about modern communication system and its impact on the lifestyles of people and society at large.
