D.K. Printworld (P) Ltd and N.K. Bose Memorial Foundation, 2007. First edition. Hardcover. New. 15 x 23 cm. This volume is devoted to a thorough understanding of the concept of sense as it has been interpreted in the ancient Asian traditions with particular reference to Indian religious and philosophical thought. It examines the functions of the sense-organs and the perception of them adopting a sociological and scientific approach. The first part of the presentation comments on the recurring cycle of Five Senses in Chinese, Tibetan and Indian philosophy. It takes up ancient knowledge on the senses as can be gained from the Vedas and the Upanisads, the Buddhist Abhidharma text and Jainism, as also from Islamic and Christian philosophies. They relate functioning of the sense-organs to aesthetic perception. Articles in the second part examine ethnic-cultural communities` responses to senses and attribution of functions to them, as, for instance, the importance attached to the senses by the traditional snake-charmers. They study responses by plant and animal life to their environment and inquire into the biological processes involved in sense perceptions. Modern technology is discussed as imitating the Five Senses. These articles should be of benefit to scholars interested in learning about the different aspects of Indian religious and philosophical perceptions.

While Information and Communication backbone of development, it has also given rise to new vulnerabilities arising from its application to nearly the entire spectrum of political, societal and military undertakings. The creation of the US Cyber Command directly under the White House is the outcome of the recognition of cyber threats as one of the most serious economic and national security challenges. Many Russians argue that the danger of cyber warfare ranks second only to that of nuclear war. Cyber Warfare: The Power of the Unseen aims at demystifying the concept of cyber warfare beyond technical jargon and what hits the media headlines. It attempts to assess Indian cyber power and to identify the National Critical Information Infrastructure (NCII). It addresses the issue of how India can secure its cyber space by building up credible cyber offence, cyber defence and cyber deterrence capabilities. The book also proposes a cyber war strategy for India. An assessment of Chinese cyber war capabilities and some pointers to why China will pursue cyber warfare more aggressively in the future have also been provided. The book also deals with cyber terrorism, challenges for law enforcement agencies and information security standards. For providing an overarching perspective of cyber warfare encompassing the social, economic, political, technical and military dimensions, the book is an essential read for all thinking soldiers, and those who are interested in cyber warfare and cyber security issues at any hierarchical level.
