This volume explores ideas of home, belonging and memory in
migration through the social realities of leaving and living. It
discusses themes and issues such as locating migrant subjectivities
and belonging; sociability and wellbeing; the making of a village;
bondage and seasonality; dislocation and domestic labour; women and
work; gender and religion; Bhojpuri folksongs; folk music;
experience; and the city to analyse the social and cultural
dynamics of internal migration in India in historical perspectives.
Departing from the dominant understanding of migration as an
aberration impelled by economic factors, the book focuses on the
centrality of migration in the making of society. Based on case
studies from an array of geo-cultural regions from across India,
the volume views migrants as active agents with their own
determinations of selfhood and location. Part of the series
Migrations in South Asia, this book will be useful to scholars and
researchers of migration studies, refugee studies, gender studies,
development studies, social work, political economy, social
history, political studies, social and cultural anthropology,
exclusion studies, sociology, and South Asian Studies.

Cereal Genomics published in 2004 served the purpose of
collecting all information on cereal genomics at one place and was
well received by the cereal workers through-out the world. The last
eight years have witnessed significant advancement in the field of
cereal genomics. For instance, high-density genetic maps, physical
maps, QTL maps and even draft genome sequence have become available
for several cereal species. Furthermore, the next generation
sequencing (NGS) technologies have revolutionized genomics
research, so that it is possible now to sequence genomes of
hundreds or thousands of accessions of an individual cereal crop.
Significant amounts of data generated using these NGS technologies
created a demand for computational tools to analyse this massive
data. In view of these developments, the Editors realised that
there was a need to have an updated volume on the present status
and future prospects of cereal genomics. These developments related
to technology and the tools have been documented in this volume,
thus supplementing our earlier edited volume Cereal Genomics .
Cereal Genomics II discusses advances in cereal genomics research
made during the last eight years, and presents state-of-art cereal
genomics and its utilization involving both basic research such as
comparative genomics and functional genomics, and applied research
like QTL mapping and molecular breeding.

Cereals make an important component of daily diet of a major
section of human population, so that their survival mainly depends
on the cereal grain production, which should match the burgeoning
human population. Due to painstaking efforts of plant breeders and
geneticists, at the global level, cereal production in the past
witnessed a steady growth. However, the cereal production in the
past has been achieved through the use of high yielding varieties,
which have a heavy demand of inputs in the form of chemical
fertilizers, herbicides and insecticides/pesticides, leading to
environmental degradation. In view of this, while increasing cereal
production, one also needs to keep in mind that agronomic practices
used for realizing high productivity do not adversely affect the
environment. Improvement in cereal production in the past was also
achieved through the use of alien genetic variation available in
the wild relatives of these cereals, so that conservation and
sustainable use of genetic resources is another important area,
which is currently receiving the attention of plant breeders. The
work leading to increased cereal production in the past received
strong support from basic research on understanding the cereal
genomes, which need to be manipulated to yield more from low inputs
without any adverse effects as above. Through these basic studies,
it also became fairly apparent that the genomes of all cereals are
related and were derived from the same lineage, million of years
ago.
The book outlines a pathway to the development of fusion of
electromagnetic resonance and artificial intelligence which will
dominate the world of communication engineering. Electromagnetic
resonance is fundamental to all biomaterials. The authors explore
the peculiarities of this typical resonance behaviour in the
literatures and provide the key points where the research should
direct. Biological antennas are inspiring designing of several
electromagnetic devices. From biomimetic engineering to humanoid
bots a revolution is undergoing. Authors include entire development
in the form of a book along with their contribution to this field.
