1 Rudolph, Lee (ed)
Qualitative mathematics for the social sciences :
mathematical models for research on cultural dynamics /
Lee Rudolph.-- London: Routledge, 2013.
xiii, 478p. 24cm.
ISBN : 9780415444828.
150.15118 RUD 136853
In this book the author brings together international
contributors who combine psychological and mathematical
perspectives to analyse how qualitative mathematics can
be used to create models of social and psychological
processes. Bridging the gap between the fields with an
imaginative and stimulating collection of contributed
chapters, the volume updates the current research on the
subject, which until now has been rather limited,
focusing largely on the use of statistics.

business school education. It then utilizes the
philosophy of Classical American Pragmatism to view
science in a different manner, reconceptualizing the
multiple environments in which business functions.

The Yoga of self-perfection : based on Sri Aurobindo-s

308p. 21cm.
ISBN : 9788178220772.

The Yoga of Self-Perfection represents a unique
contribution of Sri Aurobindo to the science of yoga,
which has generally in the past set its goal as the
dissolution of the powers of life and personality into
the Transcendent. Whereas the traditional paths of works,
knowledge and love all rely on a predominant part of the
personality to lead the seeker to the realization of the
Divine Consciousness, the Yoga of Self-Perfection takes
up each aspect of the human personality and brings each
to its fulfillment, while integrating their action into an
harmonius whole. The book deals with the principle of the
integral Yoga, the integral perfection, psychology of
self perfection, the perfection of the mental being, the
instruments of the spirit, purification of the lower
mentality, purification of intelligence and will,
liberation of the spirit, liberation of nature, elements
of perfection, perfection of equality, way of
equality, action of equality, power of the instruments,
soul-force and fourfold personality, the divine Shakti,
action of the divine Shakti, faith and Shakti, nature of
the supermind, and intuitive mind, gradation of the
supermind, supramental thought and knowledge etc. Sri
Aurobindo-s yoga therefore represents an integration of
the Other Wordly aims of the Indian Yogas with the stress
on perfection in the material world as taught in the
west.

This book an attempt has been made to expound the
metaphysics of the Yogacara School of Buddhusm in all its
aspects and bearings. Chapters are devoted to a critical
and constructive discussion of its idealistic core as
well as its spiritual discipline. These are some of the
questions that have motivated modern scholarship to
approach alayavijnan, the storehouse consciousness,
formulated in Yogacara Buddhism as a subliminal reservoir
of tendencies, habits, and future possibilities.

By contributing to understanding the varied and multiple

successes and failures of its prevention and settlement,
the handbook makes a powerful case that ethnic conflicts

they require careful analysis and thoughtful and measured
responses.

Discordant development : global capitalism and the

ISBN : 9780745331492.
330.122 GAR 136558
Discordant Development reveals the complex and
contradictory ways that local people attempt to connect
to, and are disconnected by, foreign capital. Everyone
has a story to tell: whether of dispossession and
scarcity, the success of Corporate Social Responsibility,
or imperialist exploitation and corruption. Yet as
Gardner argues, what really matters in the struggles over
resources are which of these stories are heard, and the
power of those who tell them. Based around the discordant
narratives of dispossessed land owners, urban activists,
mining officials and the rural landless, Discordant
Development touches on some of the most urgent economic
and political questions of our time, including resource
ownership and scarcity, and the impact of foreign
investment and industrialization on global development.

It offers an expanded treatment of Keynesian economics
and a comprehensive introduction to Marxian economics,
including its class analysis of society. Beyond providing
a systematic explanation of the logic and structure of
standard neoclassical theory, they analyze recent
extensions and developments of that theory around such
topics as market imperfections, information economics,
new theories of equilibrium, and behavioral economics,
considering whether these advances represent new
paradigms or merely adjustments to the standard theory.

The banking crisis in 2007-10 was one amongst many such
crises in the past. This book provides a fresh approach
to liquidity. It starts from basics and gradually builds
up analysis of credit lines with few technicalities.
Though the analysis is theoretical, the book provides a
historical background, a macroeconomic perspective, and
policy implications. An integrated view of the pre-1983
and the post-1983 literature is provided. A solution to
the related problem of sudden outflow of funds from
emerging economies is also suggested.

for a change of climate in economics. It shows how themes

The first part of the book illustrates the weakness of
existing analyses of energy problems: the science of
energy was born and developed neglecting the issue of
scale. The second part of the book introduces the concept
of energetic metabolism of modern societies and uses
empirical results. The authors present an innovative
approach - Multi-Scale Integrated Analysis of Societal
and Ecosystem Metabolism (MuSIASEM) - capable of
characterizing the quality of alternative energy sources
in relation to both environmental constraints and socio-
economic requirements. This method allows the metabolic
pattern of a society to be described in relation to its
feasibility, when looking at biophysical factors, and
desirability, when looking at socio-economic factors.

India has done well on many indicators of progress in the
post-reform period. However, a lot remains to be done as
the economy is confronted with macroeconomic challenges
such as high inflation, high current account deficit,
depreciation of the rupee, high fiscal deficit, and
decline in exports. The book assesses many such
contemporary problems keeping in view the objectives of
the Twelfth Five Year Plan, and examines the post-reform
performance and policies that are needed in the next
decade to achieve various economic, social, and
