Of Gulmohars and Kaners is the first work of fiction by the author which paints on a canvas, the geographical boundaries that extend from the Indian subcontinent to Europe to Greece and to Turkey. These pan global settings subtly convey the idea that while human emotions cannot be fathomed and scanned even by the most powerful equipment, it’s only the creative writer who can get under the skin of the characters and lay bare what goes on in a single human heart.The twenty stories—ea...

The difference between scope and quality can be a little confusing for new project managers. But it shouldn’t have to be. In this book, I discuss the differences—and relationships—between these two fundamental elements of a project’s golden triangle.

As the demand for energy harvesting and storage devices grows, this book will be valuable for researchers to learn about the most current achievements in this sector.Sustainable development systems are centered on three pillars: economic development, environmental stewardship, and social. One of the ideas established to achieve balance between these pillars is to minimize the usage of nonrenewable energy sources. Harvesting energy from the surrounding environment and converting it ...
