Vaastu Shastra is the ancient Indian science of architecture building construction and interior layout with furniture colours and pictures. It seeks to bring an agreeable connection between the builder the building the occupant and the environmental energies. Hindu philosophy says that fame and fortune depends on our horoscope or destiny and our Karma or our actions. Following Vaastu is a part of Karma. The followers of Vaastu Shastra believe that adherence to the rules brings good fortune to the residents of a house constructed and laid out as per Vaastu Shastra. The revival of interest of the general populace in Vaastu Shastra is of recent origin i.e. about 15 to 20 years. The credit for this goes to the pioneering consultants of Vaastu Shastra and the role of media which kindled interest of the general public in the subject and convinced a large percentage of them that following Vaastu Shastra ensures peace and more importantly prosperity to the household. As a result many books have been published and many articles written in newspapers and magazines. This book seeks to provide the basic knowledge about Vaastu Shastra in a simple language and with an easy to follow layout so that the reader can avoid the expenses of engaging a consultant for minor matters and also be knowledgeable enough to evaluate the advice of the consultant before incurring expenditure in carrying out modifications or rectifications. This book is different from most other books on the subject because it is written by a civil engineer and management consultant and not by a pandit. It lays emphasis on logic and the practical aspects while evaluating plots houses flats and offices instead of following superstitions. The book will be useful to common readers especially those who seek to apply Vaastu Shastra when constructing or hiring their houses but find it too expensive to engage consultants. 120 pp.

Natural disasters like earthquakes floods and cyclones cannot be prevented. However their adverse effects can be considerably reduced if the people are prepared and have adopted the relevant mitigation measures. Earthquakes do not kill by themselves. It is our lack of knowledge about the level of risk that we face and how to make our dwellings earthquake resistant that does. It is agonizing to see that villages and buildings rebuilt after past earthquakes are flattened once again by the next ones. This happens only because the new structures that are put up in place of the collapsed ones are as vulnerable as the old. Basic precautionary measures which can reduce the extent of damage are not taken. The help rendered by the Govt. and Non Govt. Organisations (NGOs) in this regard is not sufficient. The ordinary people of India have to fend for themselves. It is therefore imperative that they learn about disaster management and take mitigation measures on their own to reduce damage and losses. The aim of this book is to increase the awareness of the people about earthquakes the risks involved and what can be done to mitigate the effects of such a disaster. It also explains the methods of inspection and repair of earthquake affected buildings. The book is not a theoretical treatise on earthquakes. It is meant to be a do it yourself handbook. Each chapter is self contained and can be photocopied and distributed to those who need to know what to do to contain the damage and destruction caused by earthquakes. 128 pp.
