"Many hold the view that Islam discourages freedom of thought and action. This seems to be borne out by common perception which sees Muslims as fundamentalist, radical and militant.

In this book, M. J.

Gohari describes the rise of a controversial movement which has been widely criticized by the west: the Taliban in Afghanistan. Dr Gohari describes the historical background of the movement in Afghanistan, outlines the context for rapid ascent to power of the Taliban, explains what the movement stands for, and analyses how it affects various groups in Afghan society.

He also discusses the impact of the Taliban on (less)

Basic Mathematical Genetics 3. Markov Models in Genetics 4.

Models in Epidemics. This book is an introduction to applications of the theory of stochastic processes -- more specifically Markov chain theory -- in population dynamics, genetics and epidemics.

A prior exposure to basic probability theory should be helpful, but by no means essential. The book includes a quick review of probability that starts from elementary combinatorial probability and ends with some basic properties of diffusions, including along the way, a fairly extensive account of martingales and Markov chains, mostly with proofs.

This is done fairly rigorously without using measure theoretic tools. In continuation of the effort to keep the prerequisites at the bare minimum, all the basic genetics the reader needs to know is included.

Yet, sophisticated material on Wright-Fisher and Moran models of genetics including diffusion approximations is presented. The material on epidemic models includes several important (less)

Discourse analysis (DA), or discourse studies, is a general term for a number of approaches to analyzing written, spoken or signed language use. It is the branch of linguistics that deals with the study and application of approaches to analyse written, spoken or signed language.

In this book all elements of linguistics relations with discourse analysis are dealt with very objectively. The original aim in undertaking this book was to provide a characterization of a specified area of scientific English which would serve as a basis for the preparation of teaching materials for people learning English as a service (less)

It further deals with four major categories of forecasting techniques'''judgment techniques, customer/market research techniques, time series techniques and regression analysis,'''and explains how new products are forecast with the help of these techniques. Finally, the book discusses the important managerial considerations along with the industry benchmarks for forecasting practices.

The text is concise and practically no mathematics/statistics is used; yet it helps the understanding of the forecasting phenomenon easier and simpler. Primarily designed for the undergraduate and postgraduate students of management, this book would also be a valuable source of reference for professionals.

In the beginning, the terms of the Hindu grammarians were uncouthly fitted in the western grammatical scheme, which were later on gradually given up. After several stages of simplification, the Sanskrit grammar has now been reduced to the actual requirement of the classical texts.

Macdonell's or Stenzler's revised grammars perhaps represent the points of culmination. But these scholars had in their mind only the western students who had studied Greek and Latin before taking up Sanskrit.

Therefore mule hate hatam sarvam may be the first exercise in a western Sanskrit Grammar, but an Indian teacher may be puzzled when asked to explain this sentence to his students in the first lesson. Therefore, we (less)
