"Rocks and Stones: From Prehistoric Times to the Computer-Robotic Artificial Intelligence Era" From the earliest civilizations to the technological marvels of today rocks and stones have been the fundamental building materials of the Earth's crust. In "Rocks and Stones" we explore the fascinating journey of these essential resources throughout history as they have been used for construction architecture and industry. This comprehensive guide delves into the intricate process of transforming natural rocks into the perfectly crafted stones required for various engineering projects. We examine how the usage of rocks and stones varies depending on specific requirements and specifications in construction architecture and the stone industry. Understanding the mineralogical petrological and structural geological parameters that shape natural rock deposits is crucial in ensuring their quality. That's why this book incorporates valuable techniques and guidelines for assessing the quality of rock deposits prior to quarrying mining and usage. We also introduce cutting-edge technology such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones for topographic surveys in geological exploration and mining operations. Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) technology for demarcating subsurface lithological variations prior to mining operations is also suggested. "Rocks and Stones" goes beyond theoretical knowledge by providing practical insights into planning for quarrying and mining massive rock deposits. Experts in the field share their recommended methods through captivating case studies giving readers a comprehensive understanding of the process. Environmental impact is a crucial consideration in any mining operation. That's why include guidelines and approval methods for quarrying and mining granite and other minor minerals in accordance with the District Environmental Impact Assessment Authority (DEIAA) guidelines. Also the book provides information on the latest amendments to the environmental clearance process ensuring readers stay up-to-date with climate change regulations. To further enhance the learning experience each chapter includes learning objectives the latest research technical developments and references for further study. Additionally several chapters feature illustrative case studies and references to additional reading allowing readers to expand their knowledge beyond the book. Whether you're an engineering or science student a research scholar or a professional working in rock sciences and rock engineering studies "Rocks and Stones" is an invaluable resource. It is also essential for professionals involved in industrial rock deposit exploration mining quality assessment utilization trading and marketing. With insights into the fields of architecture construction engineering civil engineering mining engineering archaeology and natural stone usage this book is a must-have for anyone interested in the fascinating world of rocks and stones.

It is the first comprehensive textbook on critical care from India, written by prominent intensivists of the country. The book covers day-to-day challenges in management faced by intensivists in India/Low Medium Income Country (LMIC), where delivery of healthcare is variable, resources finite, and manpower challenges enormous. Therefore, to guide, each section starts with an approach to organ failure related to the section. Section and chapters have been devoted on critical care of obstetrics to help reduce maternal mortality, geriatrics due to marked increase in their population and admission in ICUs. High velocity trauma and poisoning are of epidemic proportion and major causes of unnatural deaths and admission in intensive care. Adequate space has been given with emphasis on snake envenomation, organophosphate compounds, aluminum phosphide poisoning, and alcoholic intoxication. It also covers critical care management aspects of solid organ and bone marrow transplantation, as organ transplantation is well established and expanding. It highlights adequately general critical care, ethical and administrative issues, especially end-of-life (EOL), latter still evolving in India, where physicians continue to have an ethical and moral dilemma. Section on sepsis not only deals with the traditional aspects but also covers adequately tropical infections (travel medicine), deluge of which we see commonly post-monsoon. It can be one-time reference for managing COVID-19, where from immunobiology to management is discussed in detail. Additional details as on vaccination and long COVID is also provided for interested readers.
