Electromagnetic Field Theory |
Kshetrimayum Rakhesh Singh |
Electromagnetic Field Theory aims to give a solid foundation on electromagnetic fields, waves, and radiating systems. It is targeted as a textbook for electromagnetic field theory course for undergraduate electronics engineering students. Besides strong fundamentals on Maxwell's equations, this book provides in-depth discussion about the basics of electromagnetic waves (wireless communication channel modeling requires this knowledge), transmission lines (microwave engineering course requires a background of this topic), and antennas (antenna is a component of any communication system; any communication cannot happen without this). |

Multispectral Image Analysis Using the Object-Oriented Paradigm |
Kumar Navulur |
Bringing a fresh new perspective to remote sensing, object-based image analysis is a paradigm shift from the traditional pixel-based approach. Featuring various practical examples to provide understanding of this new modus operandi, Multispectral Image Analysis Using the Object-Oriented Paradigm reviews the current image analysis methods and demonstrates advantages to improve information extraction from imagery. |
MEMS Reliability |
Hartzell, Allyson L., Da Silva , Mark., Shea, Herbert |
Successfully bringing MEMS-based products to market hinges on engineering the component to have sufficient reliability for the intended application, yet the reliability and qualification methodology for MEMS based products is not widely understood. Companies that have a deep understanding of MEMS reliability because of specific high volume manufacturing experience generally view the details of a reliability program as a competitive advantage and are reluctant to share it. MEMS Reliability focuses on the reliability and manufacturability of MEMS at a fundamental product engineering level by addressing process development and characterization, material property characterization, failure mechanisms and physics of failure (PoF), accelerated testing and lifetime prediction, design strategies for improving yield, design for reliability (DfR), packaging and testing. |

Your Shadow Wants to Walk Alone | Sandeep Kishore |
Your Shadow Wants to Walk Alone is a book of poems. Originally written in Hindi, these poems have been translated by the author himself into English to connect with one and all. Emotions are universal and they transcend all barriers of geography or age. The book passionately captures the imagination, thoughts, dreams and life through its various phases. All of these connect with one another, even though they appear disjointed many a time. They capture multiple shades. Some of them drive the simplicity of dreams and aspirations, while others contemplate a different way of thinking. Some reflect from deep within and some look far away. |

The Best of GA Kulkarni | Shrikrishna D. Pandit |

Iskilar, generally regarded as GA’s masterpiece, packs a microcosm of scenes, lives and philosophies in the time-span of a single night. Deliverance (Mukti) too takes place over a single evening, but is shaped by events of more than one lifetime. Orpheus re-tells the well-known legend, as seen in a very different light by GA’s imagination. The Seeker (Yaatrik) is a take-off on the well loved story of Don Quixote, but reveals its characters – Don and Sancho- in a completely new light. Each of the stories takes the reader on a voyage of discovery, to a new world, new atmosphere, among different people. What one discovers though, are timeless insights about life, man and destiny. |

A Forward Looking Approach to Project Management: Tools, Trends, and the Impact of Disruptive Technologies | Nikhil Gurjar | This book is intended as a basis for advanced treatment of concepts in project management.

The present day project managers need to orient themselves to newer benchmarks of what is required for success on the business front. This book deals with a few such advanced concepts in project management. This book is not designed as an elementary primer to the field of project management, rather it is an advanced level treatment on the subject, to be read after the preliminary study has already been completed. |

The Golden Tap |
Kashyap Deorah |

Can these hyper-funded technology driven companies become global superpowers? Or is it an unsustainable phenomenon? The Golden Tap gives you the answers.

The Dean’s Perspective: Issues in Academic Leadership in Schools of Business | Dr.Krishna Dhir | The role of a business school dean is one of the most complex academic administrative positions found in higher education. B-school deans normally take on the roles and responsibilities of a chief executive officer (CEO) without the formal power found in such positions. Though the dean has limited formal position authority, the post does carry tremendous amounts of informal power and responsibilities. Furthermore, with the complexities of a position with limited formal but high informal authority, there is no other role in higher education, short of an institutional CEO, that is at crossroads of so many competing demands and tremendous opportunities. It is within this context that The Dean’s Perspective: Issues in Academic Leadership in Business Schools becomes such an important new resource for learning. Fortunately, most of the skills and knowledge needed to support a successful deanship can be learned and improved, and in that spirit, a business school dean must continuously seek to enhance his/her skills. This book shares the perspectives and insights of an impressive array of current and former deans as well as faculty members about the role of a business school dean in all its dimensions. The book is appropriate for sitting deans as well as for aspiring deans, and is an important addition to the literature on business school leadership. | |
