The book sheds light on the experiences of immigrants in different parts of the world and other insightful reflections on the art of carrying out fieldwork in the present day, when the task of locating the ‘field’ seems to present a particular challenge for researchers. This book is of interest to experienced ethnographers working in the discipline of migration studies and also to scholars conducting ethnographic research in other fields.

The Field is John B. Keane's fierce and tender study of the love a man can have for land and the ruthless lengths he will go to in order to obtain the object of his desire. It is dominated by Bull McCabe, one of the most famous characters in Irish writing today. An Oscar-nominated adaptation of The Field proved highly successful and popular worldwide, and starred Richard Harris, John Hurt, Brenda Fricker and Tom Berenger.

A revealing look at the common causes of failures in randomized control experiments during field reseach—and how to avoid them All across the social sciences, from development economics to political science, researchers are going into the field to collect data and learn about the world. Successful randomized controlled trials have brought about enormous gains, but less is learned when projects fail. In Failing in the Field, Dean Karlan and Jacob Appel examine the taboo subject of failure in field research so that researchers might avoid the same pitfalls in future work. Drawing on the experiences of top social scientists working in developing countries, this book describes five common categories of failures, reviews six case studies in detail, and concludes with reflections on best (and worst) practices for designing and running field projects, with an emphasis on randomized controlled trials. Failing in the Field is an invaluable “how-not-to” guide to conducting fieldwork and running randomized controlled trials in development settings.

The Book Has Been Written In Two Volumes: Volume One Deals With Mechanics, Waves And Heat, And Volume Two With Electricity, Magnetism, Optics And Modern Physics. The Emphasis Is On Basic Concepts Which Have Been Developed In A Coherent Manner From The Very Beginning. Apart From Covering The Entire Cbse Syllabus For Class Xi And Class Xii, The Book Goes Beyond Its Confines, And Becomes More Broad Based. As Such, Wider Coverage Of Topics Should Provide Flexibility In Its Use In Various States. In This Format The Book Should Be Acceptable In Other Countries Also.Si Units Have Been Followed. Theoretical Details Of Laboratory Experiments Usually Performed And Instruments Used At This Level Have Been Given. The Discussion And Problems At The End Of Each Chapter Form An Integral Part Of The Text, As Quite A Few Topics Have Been Introduced Through Them.

The book Engineering Physics is designed for the First-Year Engineering students at Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Kakinada/Vizianagaram/Anantapur and other universities in Andhra Pradesh. The book is written with the singular objective of providing the students with a distinct source material as per the syllabus. The book covers important topics such as Interference, Diffraction, Polarization, Crystallography. X-ray Diffraction, Dielectric Materials, Magnetic Materials, Quantum Mechanics, Free Electron Theory, Semiconductors, Lasers, Fibre Optics etc. Throughout the book attention is given to the proper presentation. It has all the features essential to arouse interest and involve students in the subject.
