Building Bangalore by John C. Stallmeyer Pdf

Examining spatial transformations in Bangalore, one of India's fastest growing cities, this book highlights the influence of information and communications technology (ICT) development on the city. Focusing on the production of urban space and the processes that inform such production, the author proposes that Silicon Valley, California has become a globalized model for the production of ICT urban development. The book presents a history of Bangalore's urban development and the emergence of the ICT industry there. Using this historical analysis and the geography of ICT development, the author identifies several case study areas where ICT development is transforming the built environment. Building on this analysis, the author goes on to suggest that the development in Bangalore over the last 20 years represents a type of informational cascade, and that the case studies illustrate that local information alters the course of ICT development and has the potential to overturn this cascade. This in turn could lead to a more sustainable urban future, one that profits from the city's regional advantages. The transformations taking place in Bangalore are occurring in many cities that are competing in the new informational economy. This book makes an important contribution to studies on South Asia as well as Architecture and Urban Studies.

Rammed Earth Conservation by C. Mileto,F. Vegas,V. Cristini Pdf

Includes a free CD containing the full contents of the book. The rammed earth technique, in all its variants, is widespread all over the world. This enormously prevalent building technique harbours an important richness of varieties both in application and in materials used. Interventions on historical rammed earth buildings have also been carried out in all the geographical areas where these structures are found. This historical heritage has undergone diverse forms of reconstruction, conservation, repair, substitution and/or structural consolidation. The different criteria applied require different techniques, materials or forms of intervention. The results of the interventions have also been manifold, both in terms of the impact on the building and the technical and material durability. With a view to these issues, this book deals with rammed earth architecture and its restoration, and, in a more general sense, with the construction techniques and restoration of all earthen structures. Rammed Earth Conservation will be a valuable source of information for academics and professionals in the fields of Civil Engineering, Construction and Building Engineering and Architecture.

The Raj on the Move by Rajika Bhandari Pdf

Established in the 1840s by the peripatetic British, dak bungalows forever changed the way officers of the Empire and their families travelled across the subcontinent and got to know the real India. With most of the British Raj perpetually on the move, whether on tour or during the summer migration to the hills, dak bungalow travel inspired a brotherhood of sorts for generations of British and Indian officers, who could recount tales of horrid dak bungalow food, a crazed khansama, and the time their only companion at the bungalow was a tiger on the loose. Today, too, PWD-run circuit houses and dak bungalows continue to occupy an important place in the lives and imagination of India's civil servants. In The Raj on the Move: Story of the Dak Bungalow, Rajika Bhandari weaves together history, architecture, and travel to take us on a fascinating journey of India's British-era dak bungalows and circuit houses, following, quite literally, in the footsteps of travellers who stayed in these bungalows over the past two centuries. Her search takes her from the early-19th century memoirs and travelogues of British memsahibs, to travelling from the original colonial outpost of Madras in the south to the deep interiors of Madhya Pradesh, the heart of British India. Evoking the stories of Rudyard Kipling and Ruskin Bond, and filled with fascinating tidbits and amusing anecdotes, the book unearths local folklore about these remote and mysterious buildings, from the crotchety khansamas and their delectable chicken dishes to the resident ghosts that still walk the halls at night.

Global Happiness by Roman Adrian Cybriwsky Pdf

An authoritative, comprehensive, and highly accessible assessment of the happiest and least happy countries and cities in the world, as well as of the happiest and least happy cities and states in the United States. Which are the happiest countries in the world and which nations are the least contented? Which cities in the world are considered the happiest and unhappiest? Which American cities and states are at the top of the list and which ones rank poorly? Presenting findings that are based on solid data and authoritative information, this book offers a bold take on the geography of happiness around the world—and presents results that are often unexpected. It enables readers to make informed cross-cultural comparisons between countries and world cities, and uniquely synthesizes global information in a way that allows us answer the important question: "What makes us happy?" A book like no other, Global Happiness: A Guide to the Most Contented (and Discontented) Places around the Globe tackles the complex equation of determining what places offer the happiest living experiences by considering quality of life, prospects for the future, social relations, confidence in good government, and many other factors that together constitute critical differences in living experience. The author—a professor of geography and urban studies as well as a world traveler—also takes into account the current events, politics, and environmental situations of specific regions, states, and cities, and considers what residents of the cities and countries say about their own places to derive accurate and fair assessments.

Memoirs of an I.P.S. officer by Vijay Kumar I.P.S. (Retired) Pdf

There are various myths prevailing in society about I.A.S./ I. P. S. officers. The people think that it is a very cushy job with a lot of privileges. The author served in the Police Department for 37 ½ years and saw the working of the department very closely. As such he has written the current book “Memoirs of an I.P.S. Officers”. The first myth that he has tried to dismantle is that you need not be from a higher class to get into the I.P.S. The author came from an ordinary middle-class family, but it was with his determination that he got into I.P.S. in his first attempt. The second myth that the author has tried to dismantle is that reading in a good English Medium School is a must. The author read only for 2 years in an English Medium School. All the rest were in Hindi Medium ordinary schools. But that was no deterrent to his achievements in his life. In his book “Memoirs of an I.P.S. officer” the author has tried to touch upon various types of problems that are faced by the Police throughout the country. Political murders are one. The political parties do not even bat an eyelid while eliminating their political rivals. Then there are mafia dons in every big & small city. They take protection money from the citizens to enable them to run their business. This malaise is prevalent in almost all the big and small cities to some extent. Then there is the trouble of Communal tension. The author has mentioned in detail communal trouble at Daspara which happened during his tenure as S.P. West Dinajpur. The author has tried to touch each aspect of Police functioning in a very simple and lucid manner. The book should make a happy reading for all the Civil Services aspirants. It would be equally helpful to those in service in the Police Department. Apart from this, others would also get to know a detailed view of the Police after going through this book.
