It is an acknowledged fact and also a common experience that the accuracy of weather prediction has increased substantially in the last two decades or so. This can be attributed to a large extent to the continuous upgradation of the capabilities of weather satellites. India has always been at the forefront in this area and currently it has two very sophisticated state-of-art INSAT-3D satellites that provide half-hourly images of the weather, and a variety of data like vertical profiles of temperature, cloud motion winds and sea surface temperature.The purpose of this book is to explain the science behind the weather satellites, the constraints of technology, and the wide possibilities of application. That too in a simple way that would make it interesting to readers whether they are well-versed with meteorology or not.

Life in India revolves around the Indian southwest monsoon which is the most intense among all global monsoons. It is India’s prime source of water, and Indian agriculture, food grain production and the GDP growth rate are linked to the behaviour of the monsoon rains. This book deals with the particular challenge posed by the need for monsoon prediction, users’ expectations, the current state-of-art in monsoon modelling, present scientific limitations and future prospects. It discusses the projections of monsoon behaviour in the 21st century, and the likely impact of global warming on the monsoon. The book can serve as a textbook for university courses in atmospheric and environmental sciences, as a guide for operational meteorologists, and as a source of reference for scientists, research workers and all others interested in the Indian monsoon.

In Civil Engineering practice, engineering geology plays a vital role. For an efficient and appropriate judgment in the analysis and execution of any project, it is extremely essential not only to have a basic understanding of the geological processes and products at the site to select the best site based on an integrated site evaluation approach but also for the ground reinforcement at the site to withstand the constructions whether it be dam, tunnel, transportation routes in problematic regions or the shore-protection structures. Further, in the area of Water Resources Engineering, watershed management and groundwater development are primarily based on the site geology and aquifer evaluation. Thus Engineering Geology is an interface area of Civil Engineering and Geology. It has gained acceptability world over as a branch of Civil Engineering. Keeping this in mind, the present book is designed by the author based on his vast experience spanning about four decades, as a basic first course, in particular, to the students of Civil Engineering. The contents of the book are dealt under eleven chapters. The first four chapters deal with the Geological Processes and Products with an emphasis on Civil Engineering needs. The next seven chapters deal with geological considerations in site evaluation, ground improvement, effect of geological features on the choice and construction methodology, ground water hydrogeology, prevention or protection from geological hazards and role of geology in the environmental problems. At every stage in the Book enough Indian examples are cited to enable a good comprehension of the subject by the reader. In addition, material useful for the reader but does not find a place in the main text is provided in annexures 1 and 2. Annexure 3 contains rveiews questions on each chapter, useful for self-evaluation of the students understanding.

The book consists of 14 chapters. The first chapter  Introduction  introduces the crop and briefs the contents of different chapters. The second chapter deals with various post-harvest handling aspects of mango, grading and transportation. The third chapter deals with the storage of fresh fruits, in which various methods of storage-traditional, low temperature storage, controlled atmosphere, modified atmosphere storage etc are discussed. The fourth chapter presents the need for ripening of fruits, different methods of ripening, changes occurring during ripening, regulation of ripening etc., The fifth chapter furnishes the various ways of preservation and processing of both green, unripe and ripe fruits. The sixth chapter deals the mango varieties suitable for processing of different products. The seventh chapter explains the microbiological spoilage of processed products and ways to avoid the spoilage. This is followed by different methods of storage of processed products in eighth chapter. Producing quality products is very essential and is demanded by the present day consumer. Quality control is done through quality standards and several acts by the Government, which are dealt in chapter nine. Mango fruits even after harvest are invaded by fungi and bacteria, causing diseases and rots. The causes of rots, their epidemiology, and management are elaborated in 10th chapter. In the chapter 11 various post harvest physiological disorders of mango fruits are presented with causes and control. The post harvest losses of mango fruits at different levels and their economic importance along with ways to avoid losses are discussed in chapter 12. Mango industry generates lot of waste material in the kitchen as well as at processing units etc., whose efficient utilization helps in minimizing the pollution hazards, provides very useful and valuable bye-products, brings down the cost of processing, with the possibility of providing additional employment and income. All these are discussed in chapter 13. Marketing of fresh mango fruits, market channels, role of intermediaries, evils of present marketing system, betterment of marketing system etc., are discussed in the last chapter 14.Key assets of the bookThe book is unique in the sense that it presents all the information of post-harvest management mango fruits, which is not available at one place hitherto. The book high lights the need for proper post harvest handling of fruits, the method of regulation of ripening, and storage, methods of preservation and processing, microbial spoilage of processed products, post-harvest diseases and disorders, highlights the quantum of post harvest losses and utilization of mango waste material and finally the need to establish an organized and sound marketing system for mango.

Basic instinct of selfishness of human beings is the root cause of all the problems in the modern society. The enormous power of observation-based hypothesis, experimentation and extrapolation of results provided the success of humans in developing the technologies beyond imagination. Power of mind determinesdiscretionary attitude and behavior of individuals in the society. Culturing of the right attitudes in the young and youth needs to be imparted by quality education. All round development of young ones into responsible citizens of the globe can be accomplished with the right type of education consisting of Literature, Sociology, Mathematics, Economics, Science and Technology as well as Spirituality as important components. To address these issues insight opinions of eminent personalities across the continents are included in the volume entitled “Insights on GlobalChallenges and Opportunities for the Century Ahead”has been brought outon theoccasion of celebrating 25, 50 and 100 years of establishmentof Centre for Plant Molecular Biology (CPMB), Department of Genetics, and Osmania University, respectively.

Materials covered in these presentations encompass a wide range from traditional ones like Al alloys, Ti alloys and steels to new classes of materials like superalloys, aluminides, metal foams, nuclear fuels, carbon nano tubes and composites.
