Book Description
It is a tale in the song of an airman who leaves his camp and reaches the peak…. The Shillong Peak. Where Love feels him with a beloved footfall and touches the deep spaces of his soul. It is a book of cultures that grow in steps on the sylvan vistas of heavenly Shillong. It is love. Simple and drawn on the lingering frontiers of the beyond in the naïveté of the mid-70s. Nina...the most beautiful girl in the campus, and the topper…. And Rohan. He is an airman in the night, and a student by the day. They meet on the struggling ways of life. And walk together in a village church. Comes in Trisha, a goddess of charm, beauty and grace- -an angel but at the mercy of a forest of rogues. It is also the story of the Department of English nestled by the twigs and the tweets of the birds- real and sweet, in the lap of Shillong.

Assessment of Climate Change over the Indian Region
Author: R. Krishnan
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 9811543275
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
This open access book discusses the impact of human-induced global climate change on the regional climate and monsoons of the Indian subcontinent, adjoining Indian Ocean and the Himalayas. It documents the regional climate change projections based on the climate models used in the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) and climate change modeling studies using the IITM Earth System Model (ESM) and CORDEX South Asia datasets. The IPCC assessment reports, published every 6–7 years, constitute important reference materials for major policy decisions on climate change, adaptation, and mitigation. While the IPCC assessment reports largely provide a global perspective on climate change, the focus on regional climate change aspects is considerably limited. The effects of climate change over the Indian subcontinent involve complex physical processes on different space and time scales, especially given that the mean climate of this region is generally shaped by the Indian monsoon and the unique high-elevation geographical features such as the Himalayas, the Western Ghats, the Tibetan Plateau and the adjoining Indian Ocean, Arabian Sea, and Bay of Bengal. This book also presents policy relevant information based on robust scientific analysis and assessments of the observed and projected future climate change over the Indian region.
