Katha Vilasam: The Story Within offers a path-breaking series of 50
articles by S. Ramakrishnan, published over the course of four
years in the widely read Tamil magazine Ananda Vikatan, to a wider
reading public through translation into English. The writing style
is intentionally direct and compact to suit a magazine readership.
Nevertheless, the prose is elevating, even lyrical at times. There
are “Aha” moments aplenty. The author uses a unique device in
these units. They are “stories within stories”. In each unit,
he describes an incident from his own experience and relates it to
a short story he has read by a particular eminent Tamil writer. He
paraphrases/summarises the writer’s story, melds it into his own
reminiscence, and allows the two to resonate and create a musical
signature in the reader’s mind. Thus, 50 noted short story
writers in the Tamil language are featured here. The avowed purpose
of the author was to introduce the readers of Ananda Vikatan (who
may have been readers of nothing but magazines) to also delve into
the works of excellent Tamil short story writers. The series ran
for four years and was very well received by readers. Each unit
deserves to be read and re-read not only for the insights and
information about writers in different genres, but for the word
wizardry and imagery that flow effortlessly through the lines. It
is hoped that this English translation will teleport these unique
offerings to a wider reading public and bring the works of
excellent Tamil writers into the lives of discriminating lovers of
literature everywhere.
This book presents essential principles, technical information, and
expert insights on multimedia security technology. Illustrating the
need for improved content security as the Internet and digital
multimedia applications rapidly evolve, it presents a wealth of
everyday protection application examples in fields including .
Giving readers an in-depth introduction to different aspects of
information security mechanisms and methods, it also serves as an
instructional tool on the fundamental theoretical framework
required for the development of advanced techniques.

Although there are many books available on WSNs, most are
low-level, introductory books. The few available for advanced
readers fail to convey the breadth of knowledge required for those
aiming to develop next-generation solutions for WSNs. Filling this
void, Wireless Sensor Networks: From Theory to Applications
supplies comprehensive coverage of WSNs. In order to provide the
wide-ranging guidance required, the book brings together the
contributions of domain experts working in the various subfields of
WSNs worldwide. This edited volume examines recent advances in WSN
technologies and considers the theoretical problems in WSN,
including issues with monitoring, routing, and power control. It
also details methodologies that can provide solutions to these
problems. The book's 25 chapters are divided into seven parts: Data
Collection Physical Layer and Interfacing Routing and Transport
Protocols Energy-Saving Approaches Mobile and Multimedia WSN Data
Storage and Monitoring Applications The book examines applications
of WSN across a range of fields, including health, military,
transportation, and mining. Addressing the main challenges in
applying WSNs across all phases of our life, it explains how WSNs
can assist in community development. Complete with a list of
references at the end of each chapter, this book is ideal for
senior undergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers,
scholars, academics, industrial researchers, and practicing
engineers working on WSNs. The text assumes that readers possess a
foundation in computer networks, wireless communication, and basic
electronics.
