Climate Terror engages with a highly differentiated geographical politics of global warming. It explores how fear-inducing climate change discourses could result in new forms of dependencies, domination and militarised 'climate security'.

In Engineering theory and applications, we think and operate in terms of logics and models with some acceptable and reasonable assumptions. The present text is aimed at providing modelling and analysis techniques for the evaluation of reliability measures (2-terminal, all-terminal, k-terminal reliability) for systems whose structure can be described in the form of a probabilistic graph. Among the several approaches of network reliability evaluation, the multiple-variable-inversion sum-of-disjoint product approach finds a well-deserved niche as it provides the reliability or unreliability expression in a most efficient and compact manner. However, it does require an efficiently enumerated minimal inputs (minimal path, spanning tree, minimal k-trees, minimal cut, minimal global-cut, minimal k-cut) depending on the desired reliability. The present book covers these two aspects in detail through the descriptions of several algorithms devised by the "reliability fraternity" and explained through solved examples to obtain and evaluate 2-terminal, k-terminal and all-terminal network reliability/unreliability measures and could be its USP. The accompanying web-based supplementary information containing modifiable Matlab® source code for the algorithms is another feature of this book. A very concerted effort has been made to keep the book ideally suitable for first course or even for a novice stepping into the area of network reliability. The mathematical treatment is kept as minimal as possible with an assumption on the readers’ side that they have basic knowledge in graph theory, probabilities laws, Boolean laws and set theory.

Studies of partitions have usually focused on individual cases. These innovative volumes use comparative analysis to fill the gap in partition studies.

In this collection, Timothy Doyle and Melissa Risely bring together an international group of environmentalists, political scientists, and international relations scholars to address key issues vital to determining the human and environmental security of the Indian Ocean Region. Addressing topics that include agrifood production systems, the geopolitics of water resources along the Mekong River basin, oil production, transportation, waste disposal, and climate change, the contributors highlight the importance of regional collaboration and offer policy and management strategies for cooperative, multinational problem solving.

Climate Change and the Bay of Bengal argues that in the era of climate change radically different understandings of security and sovereignty are at work. It questions the geopolitics of fear and the manner in which metanarratives of climate change tend to privilege the "e;global"e; and "e;national"e; scales over other scales, especially the regional and the local. The authors argue in favour of a new imagination of the Bay of Bengal space as a semi-enclosed sea, embedded in a large marine ecosystem, under the relevant provisions of the UNCLOS that impose various obligations upon its signatories to cooperate at a regional level. Such an imagination, anchored in geographies of hope, should not remain confined to official domains and discourses but become a part of popular socio-spatial consciousness through a regional public diplomacy reaching out to the grassroots level. A Bay of Bengal regional seas programme, under the auspices of UNEP, should be conceptualized and operationalized in a manner that explicitly factors in climate change consequences into the existing understandings and approaches to environmental-human security in the region.

Scientists have accepted the Big Bang theory of creation of Universe from about a hundred years. As per this theory the universe was born in the Big Bang that happened 13.7 billion years ago. The universe began with expansion of the Energy squeezed in a single point tinier than atom, making up everything - atoms, molecules, stars, galaxies, and the entire Cosmos. Vedic sages in India had this Knowledge of Creation over thousands of years. Rishis and Sages of ancient India realized the Divine Truth, resolved the mystery of manifestation, developed the path of spirituality and gave this knowledge through the Vedas and Upanishads. Sri Aurobindo, the great Indian yogi, sear and mystic in the 20th century revealed this Truth in Veda and Upanishads. From Mundaka Upanishad, he decoded "Brahman grows by his energy at work, and then from Him Matter is born, and out of Matter life, and mind and truth and the worlds, and in works immortality. He who is the Omniscient, the all-wise, He whose energy is all made of knowledge, from Him is born this, that is Brahman here, this Name and Form and Matter." Sri Aurobindo introduced the path of Integral Yoga for evolution of human Consciousness. He discarded the traditional yoga's aim of "Nirvana" and gave Integral Yoga of 'Transformation' to the world. He declared - Man is a transitional being and Supermind is the next evolution of humanity...Transformation of Mind, Life, Body and Manifestation of divine life on earth as the true aim... And by his intense Sadhana over forty years, the Supramental force descended and established upon earth... making Transformation. Sri Aurobindo's writings go over thousands of pages, compiled in thirty-six volumes, that includes Integral Yoga, Synthesis of yoga, human evolution, Nationality, Education and different aspects of human life. He has written it from his own yogic experiences and many times it directly descended from the higher planes of consciousness. Sri Aurobindo's spiritual collaborator, Mirra Alfassa's (also known as The Mother) work is compiled in seventeen volumes which includes Question & Answers, Reflections, Essays, Prayers and Meditation etc. About the Book The Integral yoga texts and the knowledge in it is vast like an ocean, making it difficult for reader to understand, get benefited by the knowledge in it and practice for the spiritual progress. Explorations In Integral Yoga series intends to summarize and analyze key concepts of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother on various aspects and instruments of integral yoga, in a simplified way and also with a different Perspective to make easy understanding for the scientific minds. Mystery of Consciousness attempts to decode the hard problem of Consciousness by exploring writings in Integral Yoga and explains the secret of Creation of the Universe. It analyses Chakras and different planes of Consciousness to find their role in manifestation. Ascent of Consciousness, the second book in Explorations series, is planned to provide the way forward in realizing the Divine Life on Earth. It is the journey in Integral Yoga which will explore - Metaphysical System of Integral Yoga, Psychic Being, Yoga of Transformation, Sunlit Path, Yoga of Cellular Transformation and secret of Descents of Consciousness on Earth. About the Author Sanjay has Masters in Electronics engineering from BITS, Pilani and MBA from Nagpur University. His professional experience over thirty years includes Research and Development in Hardware and Software using Embedded, RF, IoT, AI, Quantum and Cloud computing. As a seeker of Truth, he probed in different yoga practices, spiritual scriptures and found the ultimate truth in Sri Aurobindo's writings in Integral yoga explaining mystery and secrets of manifestation.
