Book Description
Born in 1952, Bryan was educated in Tiruchy, Tamilnadu, India, before joining The New College, Chennai, as a teacher of English in 1975. He has been in Oman, as teacher and Administrator since 2004. Bryan was awarded a Ph. D. in English by the University of Madras, in March 2010, for his work on the "Anglo-Indian" community, as it is represented in the pages of recent English fiction. Bryan's first book, a novel entitled, "No Accident", was published in June 2011. This is his second publication, in the form of 2 plays: "Daniel, please" which takes a look at the not-so-noble world of college-level teaching, and "Upside Down" which explores the abiding "Anglo-Indian" question--to be or not to be.

Book Description
The search for stolen jewels and a missing woman yields deadly trouble for an LA detective duo in this hard-boiled mystery by the creator of Perry Mason. Side by side, Bertha Cool and Donald Lam make quite the odd couple of private investigators. She’s a fifty-something-year-old widow, built like a bulldog, with the personality to match. He’s a wiry, ex-lawyer in his thirties with a lightning-quick wit that always helps him out of a jam, including the one he finds himself in with their latest case . . . After Dr. Milton Devarest discovered his wife’s jewelry stolen from their safe, they noticed his wife’s secretary was also missing. Certain of what happened, Devarest asks Bertha and Donald to locate the secretary and persuade her to return the jewelry, no questions asked. But when Donald heads to Devarest’s home to get some answers, all he finds are more questions—and a body . . . “The best American writer, of course, is Erle Stanley Gardner.” —Evelyn Waugh “Gardner has a way of moving the story forward that is almost a lost art: great stretches of dialogue alternate with lively chunks of exposition, and the two work together perfectly, without sacrificing momentum.” —Booklist

Book Description
Global energy demand is likely to rise substantially by the mid-21st century. At the same time, the use of fossil fuels may need to be severely curtailed to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases. Nuclear power is one of the few options that meet these conflicting requirements. However, its potential to do so is an issue of wide disagreement and high emotions, with balanced information hard to find. This text, the culmination of a two-year study, provides a dispassionate and objective assessment of the major disputes on the future role of this controversial fuel. Decisionmakers and their advisers, as well as proponents and opponents of the fuel, should find that this book provides clarification of the main issues influencing the future of nuclear energy: relative economics, public perceptions and the process of decisionmaking, nuclear research and development, waste management, reprocessing and proliferation, nuclear safety and nuclear power and the Kyoto Protocol. In the light of the many uncertainties in the field of energy, the relevance of these issues can only continue to grow.

Grammatical Number in English Nouns

Book Description
Apart from the coverage given to it in the grammars, number in English nouns has received relatively little attention, especially in the area of theoretical considerations. Guided by the principles of psychomechanics, Hirtle (1982a) put forth a fairly elaborate theory of number in English nouns. The aim of this work is to provide evidence to validate parts of Hirtle's theory, to verify some of his analyses, and to investigate several problems, some of which are mentioned in his work as subjects for further research. Specific areas treated are ailment nouns, liquid names, ending in "-ings," binary objects, abstract "-s," and external singulars.
