Best Book of Indian Geography for college going students

This collection of original essays by scholars of geography from India, Western Europe, and the USA provides important insights into the way contemporary geographers are engaging with India. The earlier narrow colonial focus that saw India as a country of resources and "peoples" (tribes and castes) has now been discarded for a broader view located in mainstream intellectual frameworks and informed by a public policy perspective. This volume highlights how contemporary geographers see and write on topics such as the state, nation, community, environment, and division of labor, while keeping in mind issues of spatiality and territoriality.

Vignesh, who is an outstanding student during his college days, gets a job as a Project Engineer in a popular windmill company with a high salary. On the first day of his joining, G.M Suresh assigns his HR Manager, Dileep to show him the work site. On their visit, Vignesh notices a trident fixed under a neem tree. When he asks about it to Dileep, he comes to know that the particular place is considered as sacred among the workers. Vignesh, being an atheist, makes fun of it. When he tells about this to his mother, Parvathi, she warns him not to involve in the trident matter. One day, Vignesh is stabbed on duty with the trident by a woman in a trance state. Parvathi saves Vignesh’s life with earnest prayers in front of the trident. Vignesh returns to the company and joins duty. The woman worker who lost her job pleads him to hire her again. Vignesh accepts it on the condition that the trident should be removed from its place. She, with fear and devotion, takes it from that place and fixes it outside the company. One day, the workers create a dispute and protest against the management. In the riot followed, one of the protestors pulls out the trident and throws it at Vignesh. Shivani, a training officer in the company, knowing from Parvathi that the reason for all the unfortunate events is the outcome of a curse in the family, tries to investigate on it and resolve the mystery.

The world is amidst a global storm that is set to change almost every social obligation which hitherto has commanded the human response. For most this is the first time that they are experiencing a historical event of such scale. “The Modern Plague- History Shared En Masse” is an attempt to portray the magnitude of this pandemic. Miseries have been inflicted upon everyone in varying degrees, for some it was question of life and death whereas for some it was a sort of solitary confinement for months. This book is an attempt to collage every story of this epic. From the world’s largest economic lockdown to the migration of labours on foot and from the fight for an investigation to know the origin of the virus to the race for a cure, every aspect has been touched upon. It has been almost a year since the world was hit by this catastrophe, yet every study on the virus makes us realize how little we know. This book tries to bring forth the reality and to argue whether the problems that people faced were genuine and uncontrollable or a result of complacency on the part of the authorities that were vested with the responsibility to tackle adversities such as these.

This book investigates the role and significance that examples play in shaping arguments and thought, both in philosophy and in everyday life. It addresses questions about how our moral thinking is informed by our conceptual practices, especially in ways related to the relationship between ethics and literature, post-Wittgensteinian ethics, or meta-philosophical concerns about the style of philosophical writing. Written in an accessible and non-technical style, the book uses examples from real-life events or pieces of well-known fictional stories to introduce its discussions. In doing so, it demonstrates the complex way examples, rather than exemplifying philosophical points, inform and condition how we approach the points for which we want to argue. The author shows how examples guide or block our understanding in certain directions, how they do this by stressing morally relevant aspects or dimensions of the terms, and how the sense of moral seriousness allows us to learn from examples. The final chapter explores whether these kinds of engagement with examples can be understood as "thinking primarily through examples." Examples and Their Role in Our Thinking will be of interest to scholars and graduate students working in ethics and moral philosophy, philosophy of language, and philosophy of literature.
