ARCHIVAL SCIENCE: EDUCATION AND TRAINING IN INDIA-AN ALL-INDIA PERSPECTIVE, A PROJECT STUDY
0₹950.00About the Book
Archival Science: Education and Training in India is a powerful call to action for policymakers, educators, and institutions to invest in preserving India’s documentary heritage. Archives are more than dusty files—they are the bedrock of governance, legal rights, cultural memory, and transparency.

As government agencies, universities, banks, and corporations demand better record-keeping and digital management, the need for trained archivists has never been more urgent. This book highlights how archival science—an interdisciplinary blend of history, law, IT, library science, and management—can become a dynamic academic and professional f ield. It advocates for integrated programmes nationwide that prepare professionals to protect our past while building the infrastructure for a digital future. Preserving the nation’s memory is not optional—it’s a responsibility. This is a timely manifesto for a field whose moment has arrived.

GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE
0₹1,995.00About the Book
Nature knows no political frontiers whether for climate change or trans-boundary pollution. Climate change is today perhaps the greatest worry worldwide. The Western countries were the biggest polluters until a few decades ago. The developing countries must learn from the mistakes of the West. The debate on how much climate change is likely in the future is overshadowed by the still greater debate on what, if any, should be done to reduce or reverse global warming. How to tackle the consequences is another issue that is engaging the attention of environmentalists and policy makers across the world.
HD Kumar’s book is likely to increase appreciation of this phenomenon which is not limited to territorial boundaries of certain countries though political debates may make it look so. It makes an incisive analysis of what causes these changes and how. The book is useful for students of climatology, geography, meteorology, global climate change and environmental science. Even lay readers of environmental issues will find the book extremely useful in understanding the problems facing mankind.
Policy makers across the world will find the book useful in helping them take wise, balanced and informed decisions concerning present and future humanity living in the fragile and rapidly crowding greenhouse. Kumar tries to explain the issues, various international protocols and the jargons associated with this field of specialisation in simple and easily comprehensible expressions.

INDIA’S NUCLEAR TITANS : BIOGRAPHICAL TALES
0₹595.00About the Book
‘No nation debated more democratically than India on whether to get or give up nuclear power guns,’ writes George Perkovich, renowned American political scientist. Right from 1948, when the Atomic Energy Commission was established to the peaceful nuclear explosion in 1974, to Operation Shakti in 1998 when India went overtly nuclear, and then the Indo–US Civil nuclear agreement in 2005, every step was arrived at after much debate and deliberation. Rejecting discriminatory treaties like the NPT, taking a firm stand on the nuclear deterrence theory and standing up to superpowers despite heavy sanctions paved the way for India’s nuclear exceptionalism, thereby revealing not only the astounding brilliance and capability of the leaders and thinkers in the field but also India’s strong moral and ethical value system, which has played a major role in all its decisions. The book, India’s Nuclear Titans, traces the evolution of India into a nuclear state while analysing the role played by stalwarts like Homi Bhabha, Vikram Sarabhai, Abdul Kalam, Indira Gandhi, K Subrahmanyam, and Arundhati Ghose among others. Through interesting anecdotes from the lives of these great personalities, the book aims to give a brief but complete picture of India’s nuclear story.
