Hardcover. Condition: New. The book presents the evolution and changing nature of terrorism Since its modern origin during the Reign of Terror following the French revolution. From being a weapon of the revolutionaries and freedom fighters, terror is now the handmaiden of separatists and fundamentalists. Quite different from Islam as a world religion of peace and equity is the Islamist ideology of terrorism spearheaded by groups like Taliban, Al Qaeda and the Islamic State. Their methods and goals are beyond terrorism. Caliphate was propagated as a path to salvation and power beyond and above what humanity can bestow. Hence, their radicalization effects remain global despite loss of the Caliphate. This new narrative of terrorism along with Pakistan's proxy war against India is duly considered. This calls for a multi- pronged strategy of good laws, good arms and a robust diplomacy to put pressure on India's hostile neighbours. There is no place for a retributive mindset, none at all for Lex Talionis: an eye for an eye would make the whole world blind.

This book titled 'Earth Sheltered Structure' authored by Noopur Baghel is an initiative towards developing a sensitivity towards sustainable housing beneath the earth for the future generations. Earth sheltering is an age long traditional practice. With the potential thermal conservation qualities and physical characteristics of earth as a building mass, earth shelters can now be defined as structures built with the use of earth mass against building walls as external thermal mass, which reduces heat loss and maintains a steady indoor air temperature throughout the seasons. In the view of some researchers on earth supported housing, building underground provides energy savings by reducing the yearly heating and cooling loads in comparison with known Conventional structures. This book will be of great use for strengthening the cause of green buildings movement. Accordingly this book may be acquired by the libraries of the Central/State Governments, Public and Private Sector Libraries besides its use by the practicing architects, students and researchers at different colleges and universities.

The study of Sanskrit has led to the comparative study of languages. It has been found that Sanskrit Persian Greek and Latin and also the Celtic Germanic and Slavonic languages come from a primitive unwritten common Aryan language. From Ireland to India and all over Europe and America Aryan languages are spoken. And the rendering into words the enlightened soul lifting thoughts of the enlightened cult suggest a common human pursuit since the very primeval or even pre human days through in destructible powerful genetic memory cells engrained in the cosmic unconscious. The conceptions display an astonishing philosophical subtlety. The subject is undoubtedly very intricate and my knowledge equally limited. Under such circumstances it shall be sheer folly on the part of an ordinary commoner like me to attempt a dissertation on the topic. Let us acquire spiritual knowledge together let us enjoy the fruits of that knowledge together let us show our spiritual prowess in perfect unison and harmony with the cosmos (each other) and Banish all hatred and jealousy from our hearts forever and partake of its Eternal Bliss. 256 pp.
