The book, A Journey of Life with Divine Blessings, is an autobiography of Prof. Dr. G.K. Roy, a pioneer teacher, professor and engineer in technology education in Odisha. The biography depicts his life and times, along with his memories and takes on important events in Odisha, India and the global technical space spanning a period of over five decades through the second half of the twentieth century. The book goes beyond the scope of a biography, to a chronicling of events in the building of a technical institute and thus is as much about the author's professional journey as that of the story of the making of technical institution of global repute. An avid traveller the book also offers some personal vignettes on the author's many pilgrimages across India covering almost every major shrine in the Hindu pantheon of religious places.
For Sumit, life was on the right track with a successful and promising career ahead, so, little did he expect it to hit him so hard, that it would disrupt normalcy and force him to take a path least traversed. With shattered dreams and no hopes of resuscitation, he collects back those pieces and starts rebuilding everything from scratch in order to recoup his honour and dignity. Alternating between timelines of the past and present, set against the backdrop of Haldia, Rourkela and Mumbai; Simon's debut novel The Bitter Half : a dichotomy of Trust & Betrayal' is inspired by a set of true events that provides a poignant view into the dark world of a litigant’s melancholic sufferings.
This book provides a uniquely positioned contribution to the current debates on the integration of immigrants in Europe. Twelve social anthropologists—“strangers by vocation”—reflect upon how they were taken in by those they studied over the course of their long-term fieldwork. The societies concerned are Sinti (northern Italy), Inuit (Canadian Arctic), Kanak (New Caledonia), Māori (New Zealand), Lanten (Laos), Tobelo and Tanebar-Evav (Indonesia), Banyoro (Uganda), Gawigl and Siassi (Papua New Guinea) and a township in Odisha (India). A comparative analysis of these reflexive, ethnographic accounts reveals as yet underrepresented, non-European perspectives on the issue of integrating strangers, enabling the reader to identify and reflect upon the uniquely Western ideals and values that currently dominate such discourse.

Jai Prakash Narain, 1902-1979, Indian political philosopher and social worker.
This is an autobiography that traces the life of a transformational leader, as narrated by him. It alternates between his personal life and his professional life, his aspirations and his accomplishments as a scientist, as an industry captain and as a communicator. Above all, the book is about people and what makes them what they are. It details how his concept of reducing “the distance between minds” helped synergise twenty-six thousand employees of one of the largest industrial enterprises in India, leading to its regeneration and sustainability. The narration is full of subtle elements which will be motivational to many, especially the young.
Steel Town Adivasis: Industry and Inequality in Eastern India presents an analysis of class formation in the industrial town, Rourkela in the eastern Indian state Odisha, and the ways this process relates to regional ethnicity and caste. This study is based on long-term ethnographic research conducted in the 2000s and oral histories covering the period from the inception of the steel plant, and it focusses on the region’s ‘tribes’, indigenous people or Adivasis who lost their land when the Government of India established a large steel plant in Rourkela in the 1950s. The book will be of interest to anthropologists, sociologists, historians interested in industrial labour and work, in class, caste, Adivasis, ethnicity and their dynamic entanglement, as well as students and activists.
