The book includes essay which are all written by philosophers of or
about forty -five years of age. They fall into two main groups:
those in which the writer devotes himself chiefly to the exposition
of the great Vedic tradition as he has apprehended it and made it
the basis of his own life's work; and those in which the writer,
while on the whole remining true to the spirit of that tradition,
has sought to give new interpretations of it, either by instituting
comparisons of it with the Western doctrines most closely allied to
it or by treating of modern problems in a way which, though
suggested by what he has learned from the West, is yet stamped with
the mark of his own racial sympathy. Western readers will naturally
find the latter group more attractive; but this volume will have
failed of its purpose if it does not give them some sense of the
truth that underlies even the essays with which, owing to the
presuppositions ion which these are founded, they find themselves
least in sympathy.

In the belief that all the great religions have similarities that
confirm and differences that enrich peoples' spiritual outlook on
the world, the editors inaugurated a series which they hoped would
bring out the essential tenets of religion in what they perceived
to be an age of doubt. The series was originally published in the
1950s and consisted of three kinds of books: translations of
imaginative, devotional and philosophic works, with an introduction
or commentary; reproductions of masterpieces of religious art; and
background books showing the environment in which this literature
and art arose and developed. The books overlap each other: Both
Eastern and Western religious art often illustrates a religious
text and many of the books seek the common ground in their cultural
view of religion or philosophy.
Biosensors for Emerging and Re-Emerging Infectious Diseases
provides a review of how cornerstone optical, electronic,
nanomaterial and data processing technologies can address detection
issues occurring in a pandemic event. This book gives insights into
the fundamental physical, chemical and biological mechanisms needed
for such a type of detection. The content covers potential
biomarkers which can be used for the infectious disease diagnostic,
helping readers find the appropriate approach for the diagnosis of
infectious diseases. It presents a novel approach to transferring
the sensing platform from lab to application in clinics and to
point of care detection. The book then moves on to discuss the
function and efficiency of the biosensing platform in early
diagnosis of infectious diseases compared to the standard methods.
The required time, the technician skills and the steps which must
be performed are other key factors of the biosensing platform which
are well explained.
This is a new release of the original 1956 edition.
This book was framed to reduce the accumulation of CO2
concentration in the earth by means of different Carbon Capture and
Storage technologies (CCS). CCS involves the capturing of CO2 from
large point sources to a storage site. The major and prominently
used technologies for CCS systems are Geological Storage, Ocean
Storage, Mineral Carbonation and Industrial Use of CO2. Basically
ocean takes up atmospheric CO2 on an enormous scale approximately 7
billion metric tons of CO2 per year absorbing it at the surface and
transferring it to the deep waters, out of contact with the
atmosphere for centuries. So, compared to the carbon reservoirs on
land and in the atmosphere, the oceans have an enormous and
under-utilised potential to sequester anthropogenic CO2 by possible
methodologies likes Geological Formations under the Seabed, On the
Seafloor and Water Column of the Deep Ocean. Before going for ocean
storage technology the steps to be taken for consideration is
biological consequences, government interventions, public
acceptance and climate change.
