Participants are requested to add to the list of newly published books or the reprints of the classics so that in due course of time the thread could be utilised to elicit information about the availability of books on various facets of activities around us.

The Future of Indian Agriculture [2013]

by Prof. Y. K. Alagh

The key message of the book is the centrality of agriculture as an important aspect of our economic development. Accelerating the growth of agriculture production is necessary to achieve an overall GDP growth rate, meet the rising demand for food and to ensure inclusiveness in our growth process.

The book assesses the growing demands on the country's agricultural sector as well as discusses the distinctive and rapidly diversifying food needs in rural and urban areas. The book offers policy solutions to the inflation, poverty and food security.

A brief History of Time.
It is a science book written by Stephen Hawking which gives details about Big Bang, black holes and light cones.
 
वैसे तो मुझे पढने लिखने का बहुत ज्यादा शौक नहीं, परन्तु कभी कभार किसी चर्चित पुस्तक के कुछ पन्ने मैं भी randomly पलट लेता हूँ I पिछले साल एक पढ़ाकू दोस्त ने एक पुस्तक थमा दी थी जिसका शीर्षक था "God Delusion" written by Richard Dawkin (शायद ऑक्सफ़ोर्ड विश्वविद्द्यालय में प्रोफेसर). मैंने लगभग ढाई महीने में एक तिहाई पुस्तक पढी और मुझे अच्छी और ज्ञानवर्धक लगी I आप लोग भी पन्ने पलट के देख सकते हैं I धार्मिक प्रवृति के लोगों को प्राम्भ में शायद यह पुस्तक पसंद नहीं आयेगी I

In similar vein, Carl Sagan's book "Broca's Brain" is a very good read. It explains cosmology and scientific approach in layman's terms (as much as perhaps possible).
