Online Science & Technology books The year 2006 was a year of paradox of promise
and tribulations for South Asia. Thus stock exchanges across the region
soared (except Karachi) and India’s booming economy demonstrated a
steady northward trajectory pulling with it other markets as Bangladesh
and Sri Lanka which had integrated under the SAFTA. In other spheres,
however, South Asian states were oscillating from crisis to crisis. Be
it Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh or India, security
continued to be one of the prime considerations for the people and
governments in all these states. Capturing the entire security flavour
of South Asia, this book is an attempt to place the national, regional
and global events in perspective. The aim is not to provide instant
history but to see beyond the media driven, hyphenated short-term view
of happenings in the Subcontinent and portend the path ahead. Trend
spotting especially of lurking dangers will hopefully provide the
necessary motivation for adorning a sage path of cooperation, compromise
and mutual assistance, for that is the way ahead for the multitudes in
South Asia and not reliving memories of the past, feels the author.

Online Romance books
Online Romance books Alexander Roman wants nothing to do with the controlling rulers of his
vampire breed, but as a new threat to the pureblood vampires emerges,
Alexander's ties to the past are forced upon him, and without warning,
he finds himself disoriented, terrified and near death at the door of a
stranger. Dr Sara Donohue is dedicated to removing the traumatic
memories of her patients - like those of the stranger at her front door.
But what he tells her of his past is too astonishing to be anything
more than the delusion of a madman. Then, as their worlds collide, Sara
and Alexander are bound as one becomes hunter and the other prey. And
Sara's only chance of survival is to surrender to the final - and most
unimaginable - desire of her life.
Online Religion & Spirituality books
Online Religion & Spirituality books Tina Beattie has written a stunning book on the theology of woman. Her
stated objective is to discern the place of the female body in the
Christian story of salvation and she has done so from the very heart of
Christian stylisations of the female--the figures of Mary and
Eve.Beattie has pursued her subject with the aid of French
psychoanalytic feminism--these writers are preoccupied, as is Catholic
theology, with questions of language and symbolism. But she deliberately
puts herself at odds with neo-orthodoxy and feminist liberal theology;
she believes that theologians like von Balthasar depart from the best
Patristic tradition of Marian theology with disastrous effect. Nor does
she offer any solace to the Marina Warners of this world in a book which
is strong in defence of classical Marian theology.She defends with
passion and theological insight not only the Virgin Birth, the
Immaculate Conception and the Assumption but also the perpetual
virginity of Mary.Virginal desire, according to Beattie, need not be
seen negatively but as an affirmation of the integrity of women's desire
before God, in a way not dependent on the phallus nor reducible to
geniality.

Online Literature & Fiction books
Online Literature & Fiction books Death in the City of Light is the gripping,
true story of a brutal serial killer who unleashed his own reign of
terror in Nazi-Occupied Paris. As decapitated heads and dismembered body
parts surfaced in the Seine, Commissaire Georges-Victor Massu, head of
the Brigade Criminelle, was tasked with tracking down the elusive
murderer in a twilight world of Gestapo, gangsters, resistance fighters,
pimps, prostitutes, spies, and other shadowy figures of the Parisian
underworld.
The main suspect was Dr. Marcel Petiot, a handsome, charming physician
with remarkable charisma. He was the “People’s Doctor,” known for his
many acts of kindness and generosity, not least in providing free
medical care for the poor. Petiot, however, would soon be charged with
twenty-seven murders, though authorities suspected the total was
considerably higher, perhaps even as many as 150.
Who was being slaughtered, and why? Was Petiot a sexual sadist, as the
press suggested, killing for thrills? Was he allied with the Gestapo,
or, on the contrary, the French Resistance? Or did he work for no one
other than himself? Trying to solve the many mysteries of the case,
Massu would unravel a plot of unspeakable deviousness.

"Software testing is a fast growing discipline in industry. Online Computers & Internet books Industry
increases IT hiring each year, and recent years have seen a marked
increase in emphasis on quality of software engineering in general, and
testing in particular. Bill Gates recently said of Microsoft, “We have
as many testers as we have developers. And developers spend half their
time testing.”
This book is a manual on the techniques of testing. It presents a great
overview of the current state of software testing techniques. It covers
well-established techniques like equivalence classes, boundary value
analysis, decision tables, state transition, domain analysis, control
path and data flow testing. It also presents newer techniques, namely
use case testing, pairwise testing and exploratory testing.
Software testing is not only science but art as well. The author has
presented testing as a mental discipline that helps all IT professionals
develop higher quality software. The style is fresh and immediate,
with numerous examples throughout to illustrate the techniques, as well
as case studies and exercises.
None of the currently available books deals the subject with respect to
fifth generation software testing techniques. Introduction to Software
Testing and Analysis fills this gap. It includes information on the
types of environments required at different stages in the lifecycle of
software products. It provides an overview of different types of tools
and their uses. It promotes a vision of software testing and analysis as
integral to modern software engineering practice, and projects it as
important and technically demanding as other aspects of development.
This book will help students gain a basic understanding of principles
and issues in software testing and analysis, besides acquiring knowledge
of several organizational functions. It will be highly useful to the
developers, technical managers and IT professionals."

Every Indian is proud of India's art and
culture. He shall wax eloquent on how it has assimilated the invader,
and how they lost their own identities and became Indians. But if asked
what exactly brought about this metamorphosis, he is bound to struggle
for an answer; for the history he has read had enlightened him about the
rise and fall of many dynasties both Indian and foreign-but kept him
almost dark on their artistic and cultural achievements. Thus the
catalytic agent responsible for this unusual phenomenon eluded his
grasp. This book The Culture and Art of India by Radhakamal Mukerjee,
answers the long felt need for a work on India's art and culture in a
lucid style. It brings in perfect focus that, 'the state, politics, and
conquest are far less significant in India than metaphysics, religion,
myth and art as factors in social integration and it is these that have
welded middle, East and South-East Asia for several centuries into one
spiritual community. Contents Preface Introduction: The spirit of Indian
