This is one of the first book which uses of Delueze-Guattarian philosophy to understand Indian society, culture and art. It brings scholars from different disciplines of humanities and social sciences. Delueze and Guattarian philosophy being popular worldwide, this book will be of interest to departments of philosophy, political philosophy, English literature, cultural studies, media and film studies, post-colonial studies and South Asian studies across the world.

Network Algorithmics: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Designing Fast Networked Devices, Second Edition takes an interdisciplinary approach to applying principles for efficient implementation of network devices, offering solutions to the problem of network implementation bottlenecks. In designing a network device, there are dozens of decisions that affect the speed with which it will perform - sometimes for better, but sometimes for worse. The book provides a complete and coherent methodology for maximizing speed while meeting network design goals. The book is uniquely focused on the seamless integration of data structures, algorithms, operating systems and hardware/software co-designs for high-performance routers/switches and network end systems. Thoroughly updated based on courses taught by the authors over the past decade, the book lays out the bottlenecks most often encountered at four disparate levels of implementation: protocol, OS, hardware and architecture. It then develops fifteen principles key to breaking these bottlenecks, systematically applying them to bottlenecks found in end-nodes, interconnect devices and specialty functions located along the network. Later sections discuss the inherent challenges of modern cloud computing and data center networking.

In designing a network device, you make dozens of decisions that affect the speed with which it will perform sometimes for better, but sometimes for worse. Network Algorithmics provides a complete, coherent methodology for maximizing speed while meeting your other design goals.
Author George Varghese begins by laying out the implementation bottlenecks that are most often encountered at four disparate levels of implementation: protocol, OS, hardware, and architecture. He then derives 15 solid principles ranging from the commonly recognized to the groundbreaking that are key to breaking these bottlenecks.
The rest of the book is devoted to a systematic application of these principles to bottlenecks found specifically in endnodes, interconnect devices, and specialty functions such as security and measurement that can be located anywhere along the network. This immensely practical, clearly presented information will benefit anyone involved with network implementation, as well as students who have made this work their goal.

The book entitled "MEDICINAL PLANTS FOR KIDNEY STONE: A MONOGRAPH" encompass the traditional botanical knowledge about antiurolithiatic medicinal plants. Detailed description of the identified plants and their mode of use for the treatment of urolithiasis/ kidney stone were presented in detail. It is expected that this catalogue of traditionally used medicinal plants for kidney stone will be helpful for initiating further research to develop novel drugs for kidney stone.
