Construction Management for Practising Engineers
₹850.00Author: A N Prakash
This book is a practical and insightful guide that bridges the gap between academic theory and on-site realities in Construction Project Management. The author shares real-life anecdotes, case studies, and professional reflections that illustrate core concepts like project planning, scheduling, quality control, contract administration, and risk management. Written for young graduates, field engineers, quantity surveyors, and project leads, the book addresses common challenges in adopting CPM practices particularly the complexity of Work Breakdown Structures (WBS), bar charts, earned value management (EVM), resource planning, and cost control.

It also highlights the significance of people management, soft skills, and humour in handling teams and stakeholders.

The Princely States and the Making of Modern India
₹640.00Editors: D A Prasanna, K Sadashiva
India’s Princely States have enjoyed only a minor place in the narrative of modern nationhood. Certain Princely States used the dynamics of transfer of power to carve autonomy from the colonial British to advance their societies. Some of the Princely States modernized their education, public health and industrial sectors way ahead of the British administered territories. Prof Washbrook provides a macro picture of the dynamics in the Princely States of South India and sees a distinctive and indigenous form of modernity. Hierarchy, religion, heredity and caste were not obliterated for rationalism and secularism. As socialism and pseudo-secularism are fading away, the significance of the indigenous forms of modernity of the Princely States becomes more relevant to understand India in the 21st century. Ten historian thought leaders provide an interesting perspective to make it a compelling read. K Sadashiva is the architect of this book. As he developed the theme and brought together historians from various parts of the world, an interesting tapestry was woven. He is a historian actively researching the Indian Union, the Princely States and the rise of political power of caste and class in independent India. D A Prasanna has an interest in history, visual art, public health and education. He has supported new initiatives in these fields and has actively nurtured ideas to result in outcomes.

Malekaadina Kathegalu – Stories of the Rainforest
₹450.00Author: Malvika Tewari, Editor: Deepta Sateesh
Malekaadina Kathegalu is a fictional story set in the rich dense rainforest of Agumbe, narrating the journey of Nitya, a young girl who travels to the small village with her father, a conservationist. This book is the result of a research experiment responding to and reimagining the People’s Biodiversity Register (PBR), a tool used to document biological diversity of local communities. Set in the Western Ghats, the story weaves popular references like Malgudi Days in the narrative with the experiences of the people living in Agumbe, Karnataka.
To most people, the Western Ghats is a range of hills on the west coast of India with lush forests in the monsoon and a repository of minerals. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage site and a biodiversity hotspot. To the residents of Agumbe, it is much more: cultural relations, ritual practices, and connections with other-than-human sentient beings. The nature-culture understandings, which comprise of everyday practices of food, kitchen gardens, and medicinal practices, and wandering on foot are experienced by Nitya throughout the story.
Malekaadina Kathegalu reflects the realities and complexities surrounding countless changes in ancient ecologies due to pressures of rapid development, and the diverse aspirations of new generations in a time of environmental crisis. It records the rich diversity of other-than-human beings and material and atmospheric changes across time through primary research using creative mixed methods.

The Semi-Detached European
₹350.00Author: Michael Hindley
The European Union has emerged as a world economic power from the ashes of the Second World War. Starting with the post-war settlement, the book takes a broad and informed view of Britain’s changing relationship with this dynamic development. The successful attempt to revive democracy and establish economic recovery in Western Europe was fuelled by Franco-German reconciliation but Britain remained benevolently aloof. Britain’s own recovery was not as successful as that of the emerging “Common Market”, and so Britain’s political elite looked to Europe to replace the markets it was losing worldwide only to be spurned by her long-time rival France. Thereon, Britain played an influential role, especially in the development of the “internal market”. However, Britain never quite lost the tag of being semi-detached – wanting to take the benefits but always wary of surrendering national sovereignty for the alleged greater good. This book reviews the vital role played by major actors in Europe’s integration, including the decisive duel between Margaret Thatcher and Jacques Delors about the nature of the Europe. It provides an assessment of the epoch-making events of the fall of Berlin Wall which opened the possibility of a reunited Europe.
In this book, the author also describes his own “Europeanization” as a student, and then as an active politician who engaged in Europe’s transformation first-hand.
