Profile of Some Indian Tribes
The present book highlight ethnographic, demographic, nutritional ecological, economic and cultural profiles in relation to the scenario of food and nutition of five tribal communities of India viz., the Lodhas, the Mahalis, the Koras, the Santals and the Mundas. The study pinpoints nutritional anthropology of the foregoing communities to assess and recommend ameliorative measures. The profiles of different aspects referred to above are interwoven with one another and conjointly provide to frame a holistic picture which would hopefully better equip the readers to assess the anthropo-nutritional problems of the tribal communities and also find out the plausible solution to them. Micro-study of this kind on the tribal population is probably the maiden venture in the Indian context. The book would be helpful to the planners, administrators public health workers, nutritionists, medical personnels, biochemists, sociologists, anthroopologists and other interested in anthropo-nutritional profile of the Indian tribes.

CLIMATE CHANGE AND BIODIVERSITY MANAGEMENT
Assessing the impacts of climate change will be a vital task in developed as well as in developingcountries because of many interdependent physical, biological and chemical processes are ongoing inearth and human systems. These processes can be affected by change in climate, causing an effect onnatural resources (water resources, forest products, etc.), on biodiversity, ecosystem services and onplants in general, some positive and on others negative effects, such as, altering biophysical relationship,shrinking of habitats, desertification and general shift in natural world.Warming directly affects rate of plant respiration, photosynthesis, and other biogeochemicalprocesses. For instance, enhanced CO2 concentration can increase photosynthetic rate especially for plantsgrowing under warm and dry condition such as C3 plants. Naturally, plants have their own mechanism totolerate a certain level of increased temperature.
Advances in Energy and Sustainability
This volume presents select papers from the International Conference on Mechanical Engineering (INCOM 2024), describing recent advances in the field of energy and sustainability. Various topics covered in this volume are alternative fuels, energy conversion technologies, renewable energy resources and efficient utilization, waste-to-energy storage, sustainable energy policy, energy economics and efficiency, energy management, environmental impact assessment of energy systems, industry innovations in energy, electric vehicles, hydrogen economy, etc. The book will be a valuable reference for researchers and professionals interested in the field of energy and sustainability.
Exile
On 21 November 2007, the city of Kolkata came to a rude, screeching halt as a virulent mob of religious fanatics took to the streets. Armed with a fatwa from their ideologues, the mob demanded that Taslima Nasrin leave the city immediately. While the Kolkata Police stood watching, mere dumb witnesses to such hooliganism, a morally, intellectually and politically bankrupt Left Front government, tottering under the strain of their thirty-year-old backward-looking rule, decided to ban her book and drive her out of Kolkata, a city she has always considered her second home. This inextricable nexus of petty political conspiracies, vote bank politics and minority appeasement saw her being hurriedly shifted, first to Jaipur and then to New Delhi, only to be confined to an obscure 'safe house' in an undisclosed location and left to face incessant pressure from senior officials and politicians to leave India. Dark, provocative and at times surreal, Exile is a moving and shocking chronicle of Taslima Nasrin's struggles in India over a period of five months, set against a rising tide of fundamentalism and intolerance that will resonate powerfully with the present socio-political scenario.
The Naxalites Through the Eyes of the Police
This study gives an interesting glimpse of the city police`s responses and reactions to Naxalite actions in Calcutta during the nineteen-seventies.
