McGraw Hill Education, 2010. First edition. Softcover. New. In recent years there has been a large and diverse body of writing from scholars in the social sciences who have been studying changes brought about by new communication technologies in general and the Internet in particular. The question of how people behave, interact and organize themselves in relation to this form of communication has been given added prominence by developments within new social theory, especially in relation to the novelty of contemporary social formations and the importance of mass communications to this changed order. For the student new to the study of technology and society, there are a bewildering array of claims and counter claims, representing a spectrum of theoretical, methodological and critical sensibilities in relation to the Internet. In this new book Allison Cavanagh evaluates the work in this area by: ? Investigating the novelty of the Internet and setting the Internet in the context of communication histories ? Evaluating the extent and rate of change through a synthesis of the available empirical literature ? Providing a key to understanding the changes identified through an evaluation of the utility of new social theory Sociology in the Age of the Internet is essential reading for academics and students with an interest in the relationship between the internet and society.

The course contents of the fifth edition of the book entitled ""Engineering Mechanics"" are planned in such a way that the book covers the complete course of first year Engineering students of all branches of Engineering. This edition has been thoroughly revised and made up-to-date. In the fifth edition, the following additions have been made : 1. A chapter on Shear Force and Bending Moment has been added to meet the curriculum requirements of many universities. 2. Polar moment of inertia, product of inertia, principal moment of inertia and mass moment of inertia have been added in Moment of Inertia chapter. 3. Friction of Flat bearing, pivot bearing and collared bearing have been included in Friction chapter. 4. Collision of Elastic Bodies has been explained in more detail. The book is written in a simple and easy-to-follow language, so that even an average student can grasp the subject by self-study. At the end of each chapter, highlights, theoretical questions and many unsolved problems with answers are given for the students to solve them. Contents: PART I - STATICS 1.

The processes of political mobilization and identity formation in the rural regions of Bombay Presidency between 1934 and 1947 are the major focus of this work. Studying the politics of the masses, their aspirations and demands—both within the formal institutional frameworks of the colonial `public space` as well as outside it—this book provides insights into political and social change in 20th century India. Emphasizing micro-level revolts—which, rather than subaltern militancy, express a collective endeavour by the people to solve their local problems by wresting immediate and tangible concessions—this book: - Details the multiple forms of mobilization and resistance among various groups—women, peasants, elites, lower castes and tribals. - Explores issues such as the nature of social conditions, leadership and participants; the development of mass consciousness; the moralities and methods of mobilization; and, the role of religious symbols and popular culture in such mobilizations. - Delineates various facets of peasant mobilization over 1934–47, including the peasants` response to political processes and their relationship with political associations, and the nature of agrarian conflicts as well as that of peasants` identity. - Studies both the collective action of tribals—in the form of crimes for survival, religious reform and politically motivated struggle—and Dalit mobilization around the issue of untouchability. - Contributes to the theoretical debate on nationalism and identity while critiquing the three main strands of nationalist thought as represented by Ernest Gellner, Anthony D Smith and Benedict Anderson.
