Since the last decade of twentieth century, India has strived for an experienced and unprecedented economic turn-around. The country has witnessed a structural shift in GDP growth, propelled largely by new investments and the growth of the value enhancing services sector. Globally, these efforts are not only source of appreciation but also of assumption for many that India increasingly being seen as part of new axis of influence in the world. Long established three-headed social problem—poverty–illiteracy–unemployment—remains the biggest stumbling block for a post-colonial country like India. New sets of problems have taken shape in the last quarter of twentieth century when policy makers and market participants have prioritized economic activities for short-term gains.

In context of the above, Center of Associates for Sociological Studies and Action undertook to bring out to the fore oft-neglected inter-disciplinary discussions and analysis in fifteen articles to examine the process of globalization in India taking insights from economics, political science and international relations, sociology, cultural anthropology, social ecology, management and cultural studies. It discusses the impact of the process of globalization on social institutions like marriage, family, economy, politics, education and religion.

The book is intended for postgraduate students and research scholars. It provides readers with a clear perspective about creating economics, environmental and social capital that can produce multiplier effect for making national progress more inclusive and sustainable.

This well-balanced and well-researched text is a harmonious blend of theoretical concepts and practical aspects on mergers and acquisitions. The book begins with an analysis of the causes of and strategic approaches to M & As. Then it goes on to give a detailed discussion on the valuation aspects—valuing the enterprise, business, brands, goodwill, HR and customer relationships, valuing synergy, valuing of private sector companies and family business besides dealing with business valuation standards in USA and India. Finally, the book concludes with a comprehensive coverage of accounting for the legal aspects of and integration in mergers and acquisitions. The text is profusely illustrated with examples, tables and case studies.

Intended as a text for PG students of management, this book would also be of immense value to students of chartered accountancy, cost accountancy and company secretaryship. In addition, it would appeal to a broad spectrum of professionals ranging from strategic planners, CFOs, CEOs, COOs, financial analysts, bankers, venture capitalists, to portfolio managers and entrepreneurs. Finally, the book would be treasured by anyone who is interested in Mergers and Acquisitions—an increasingly topical subject.

Interoduction To Algorithms

This internationally acclaimed textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to the modern study of computer algorithms. It covers a broad range of algorithms in depth, yet makes their design and analysis accessible to all levels of readers. Each chapter is relatively self-contained and presents an algorithm, a design technique, an application area, or a related topic. The algorithms are described and designed in a manner to be readable by anyone who has done a little programming. The explanations have been kept elementary without sacrificing depth of coverage or mathematical rigor.

The third edition has been revised and updated throughout. It includes two completely new chapters, on van Emde Boas trees and multithreaded algorithms, and substantial additions to the chapter on recurrences (now called “Divide-and-Conquer”). It features improved treatment of dynamic programming and greedy algorithms and a new notion of edge-based flow in the material on flow networks. Many new exercises and problems have been added in this edition.

The text is intended primarily for students studying algorithms or data structures. As it discusses engineering issues in algorithm design, as well as mathematical aspects, it is equally well suited for self-study by technical professionals.

“Introduction to Algorithms, the ‘bible’ of the field, is a comprehensive textbook covering the full spectrum of modern algorithms: from the fastest algorithms and data structures to polynomial-time algorithms for seemingly intractable problems, from classical algorithms in graph theory to special algorithms for string matching, computational geometry, and number theory. The revised third edition notably adds a chapter on van Emde Boas trees, one of the most useful data structures, and on multithreaded algorithms, a topic of increasing importance.”

Cognitive Neuroscience

NICOLE FIORI is professor of neuroscience at the University of Paris, 5—René Descartes, where she teaches cognitive neuroscience to postgraduate and undergraduate students of psychology.

Few fields of science have seen developments as rapid and as fascinating as cognitive neuroscience. It is therefore essential for students of psychology—who are faced with a field of formidable scientific/technical level—to understand and appreciate their range.

Within the framework of neurosciences and cognitive psychology, cognitive neuroscience addresses the decoding of the cerebral bases of cognitive functioning. It is based on data from experiments carried out on animals, the study of brain-damaged patients, and experiments carried out on humans using methods of brain imaging. It is a recent discipline that is evolving rapidly: the organization and functioning of cerebral neuronal systems underlying cognition remains largely an area that is being discovered and explored. Many of these discoveries are interrelated.

This book is designed to fulfil the growing needs of teachers and students for an introductory textbook. It is largely devoted to the organization of the nervous system, in order to facilitate the understanding of models of cognitive functioning in terms of perception, memory, language and attention. The text also presents the major principles underlying the methods of brain imaging, points out differences of organization between the male and female brains, and ends with an approach to the themes, at present widely studied, of linkage between emotion and cognition.

This book will be of interest to undergraduate students of psychology, as well as postgraduate students of psychology having specific courses in cognitive psychology, clinical psychology and neuropsychology.
