This notion of a digital library is radical most current digital library efforts are aimed at building individual libraries to replace existing physical libraries that are burdened by financial and space constraints. However the avowed digital library policy is that each home will be able to access electronic libraries and electronic museums around the world via networks allowing users to readily search and obtain worldwide information on books and art based on their own particular interests. The present book is devised and developed on the academic exercises of different authorities in the field. 260 pp.

Later in Medieval period the education system was further polished and perfected. Most of the rulers during sultanate period took keen interest in promotion of education. Later in Mughal era the emperors and their administration devoted great attention to the promotion and growth of education in this country. They established a network of schools and institutions of higher learning throughout the vast empire. However the real development of education began under British regime only. The new rulers framed policies and laid foundation of modern education in India. They opened schools and colleges all over British India. No doubt the English masters shaped the education system in accordance with their interests and their primary aim was to produce administrators and clerks for the strength and durability of their government. But in fact that proved to a blessing in disguise. Over the years the English established and cultivated a perfect education system on modern western lines. 304 pp.

New product development has become all the more important in the modern world characterised by technological change and market dynamics. New product development brings opportunities but also involves heavy commitment of finance technology and even emotional attachment. New product decisions are necessary as well as costly. Many new products fail causing ruin to business firms. Product development is a continuous and dynamic function. Continuous adjustments and improvements in the product are necessary to minimise costs of production and to maximise sales. 288 pp.

In order to proceed efficiently and with dispatch toward any goal it is essential that the goal be known. Furthermore attainment which will be educationally satisfactory is only possible if the end to be gained is worthy it is not sufficient to attain just any one goal. Consequently the physical educator in addition to one having adequate aims must have worth while objectives and know how to cause them to be achieved. Except for an illustration which points out the relationship of the pursuit of objectives to instruction centered in an activity class the matter of attainment will be considered in subsequent chapters. It is the major purpose of this chapter to set up pupil attainment objectives upon which a sound system of physical education can be based. 252 pp.

A language is a system used to facilitate communication among people. It is easy to define language in vague terms as there is a magic in the spoken word Language is one of the greatest glories of man. But to define a language with precision is far less easy than to define acid or any other chemical term. All the numerous definitions of language given by various thinkers bring out different aspects of language and supplement one another in making us understand all the facts of language. A language by which we mean a spoken language may be defined as a system of arbitrary vocal symbols by means of which human beings communicate and co operate with one another. Phonology is the organization of sounds into patterns. In order to fulfil the communicative functions languages organize their material the vocal noises into recurrent bits and pieces arranged in sound patterns. It is the study of this formal organization of languages which is known as phonology. 248 pp.

Modern technology is essential to the process of mass communication but its presence does not always signify mass communication. For example the nationwide telecast of independence day celebrations is mass communication whereas closed circuit telecast in a classroom or assembly hall on a topic such as eco friendly environment is not. Mass communication is directed towards a relatively large heterogeneous and anonymous audience. It is public rapid and transient. The concept of mass communication in India has undergone transformation after independence. It has become development supportive flexible and need based especially in the areas like health nutrition family welfare agriculture dairy development literacy etc. 304 pp.

Strategy refers to decisions bearing on the future of an enterprise defining its direction and scope in the long run. These decisions ideally involve matching of resources to the changing environment and determining what the enterprise ought to be doing in the years to come and how it should position itself to take advantage of the future market opportunities. Strategy may thus be defined as the pattern of an organisation's responses to its environment over time. It implies that strategy may or may not involve explicit formulation of what the organisation intends to do. The Operating Systems studied by operations research workers arise in a wide variety of practical industrial military and governmental environments it follows that the results of their research frequently make important contributions to the solution of problems of choice policy and planning that arise in these environments these contributions are characteristically made by presenting the research findings directly to the executives in charge of the operations that are studied. Thus an important goal of much operations research is assistance to executives in improving the operations under their control. 332 pp.

As a field study comparative study is as old as politics ever since man became conscious of its environment and felt interested in studying his environment and institutions. He also became interested in studying how other men were living in different society and which way of living was better than the others. As a part of this exercise the students of politics naturally started studying and comparing the governments and political institutions of various societies. Their endeavour came to be characterised as comparative government which with the passage of time came to be developed into a science of comparative politics. Its importance has immensely increased in contemporary times because of the new opportunities provided by the existence of more than 160 states managed by a variety of political structures and functions as well as due to the development of several new concepts tools and approaches for the conduct of comparative studies. 328 pp.

It is true that there are certain well defined philosophies of education but apart from these views underlying them is essentially a spirit or method of approach to education the philosophical way of thinking and appraising educational matters. Thus philosophy of education is a way of looking at various aspects of education. In other words it may be regarded as a general theory of criticism of education. It is a reflective approach to education leading to wisdom. Sociological tendency in education made several thinkers in the field of education to discuss and classify the relationships between education and society. Education was considered as a sub system of the larger society. The character of society and social changes taking place must influence the system of education also. It was emphasized that these social changes and emerging social needs must be rejected in the theory and practice of education also. 296 pp.

The few colonial wars that broke out during this period exercised little adverse effects on the national life. The Crimean War of course caused a stir in England but its effect were soon forgotten and the people regained the normal tenor of their lives without feeling the aftermaths of war in their round of daily activities. In the earlier years of the age the effect of the French Revolution was still felt but by the middle of the century it had almost completely dwindled and England felt safe from any revolutionary upsurge disturbing the placidity and peaceful existence of its life. On the whole it was a comparatively peaceful reign when English men secure in their Island base could complete the transformation of all aspects of their industrial commercial and social life without any risks of violent interruptions that gave quite a different quality to the history of continental nations. 288 pp.
