As a teenager, Ullas Karanth explored the rich jungles of Malenad in Karnataka, driven by his innate passion for nature. Shocked by how people around him were slaughtering wildlife and his deep interest in tigers, he made their scientific study his life’s mission. After two decades of tireless effort and being inspired and mentored by American biologists, Karanth became a professional wildlife biologist.
Karanth pioneered the application of radiotelemetry and camera trap surveys to study big cats, line transects to count herbivores and advanced statistical models to accurately track wildlife populations. Simultaneously, he confronted real problems of wildlife and habitat protection by collaborating with colleagues, local communities and government agencies. Overcoming serious hurdles in his conservation journey, Karanth won national and international acclaim during a six-decade long career.
Tiger Memories is the engagingly crafted narrative of Karanth’s wildlife and conservation journey. Packed with adventures and filled with facts, this book belongs in every naturalist’s library.

In an age of algorithms, answer-engines, and five-star-rated gurus and truth-peddlers, we seem to have forgotten something essential: the universe doesn’t deal in absolutes. It moves in paradox and hides in mystery.
The Universe Is Pranking Us is your front-row ticket into the bewildering, exhilarating, and delightfully absurd landscape of reality that refuses to stay still. Blending science, philosophy, and a curious sense of inquiry, it traces everything from quantum quirks that defy expectation to the limits of logic itself, revealing a deeper insight we often overlook that the foundations of reality have always been more fluid than fixed. This work invites you to loosen your grip on absolute truth and step into something far more liberating. It offers the art of not knowing.
All in all, The Universe Is Pranking Us shows why reality is fundamentally non-absolutist and why learning to live with contradictions may be the smartest and most creative response to a universe built on maybes.

“If you’ve never done anything wrong it’s probably because you have never tried anything new.”
In 1905 and 1915, Albert Einstein published two theories that revolutionized our understanding of space, time, and the very fabric of reality. His special and general theories of relativity dismantled Newton’s absolute universe and revealed a cosmos where time dilates, space contracts, and massive objects bend the geometry of spacetime itself.
This volume presents Einstein’s groundbreaking papers in their historical context, alongside his own accessible
explanations written for the general public. From the famous equation E=mc² to the prediction of black holes
and gravitational waves, these works established the theoretical foundation for modern physics and cosmology.
Einstein’s insights into the nature of light, gravity, and motion continue to guide scientific discovery more than a century later, from GPS satellites to particle accelerators to the detection of ripples in spacetime itself.
Both a monument to human intellectual achievement and a surprisingly readable introduction to concepts
that changed everything we thought we knew about the universe, Relativity remains as relevant today as when it first shattered our assumptions about reality.
For readers of Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History of Time, Richard Feynman’s Six Easy Pieces, or Carl Sagan’s Cosmos, Einstein’s Relativity provides a foundational exploration of space, time, and gravity. Unlike popular science books that summarize theories secondhand, this edition presents Einstein’s own explanations, combining historical context, conceptual clarity, and profound insight into the nature of the universe.
इससे कोई फ़र्क नहीं पड़ता कि हमारे पास कैसे अंग हैं, हमारी टाँगों के बीच ये प्राइवेट पार्ट्स अकसर हमारे मन में. . . कई भावनाएँ और सवाल पैदा करते हैं। क्या यह ठीक साइज़ का है? क्या यह बहुत बड़ा है? यह इतना काला क्यों है? और इस पर इतने बाल क्यों हैं? बच्चे कैसे पैदा होते हैं? पीरियड्स के समय दर्द क्यों होता है?
जैसा कि जॉन मेयर ने बहुत ख़ूबबसूरती से गाया है. ‘योर बॉडी इज़ ए वंडरलैंड’, लेकिन कामसूत्र की धरती पर हम अकसर यही भूल जाते हैं। शब्द जैसे वेजाइना, क्लिटोरिस, पीनिस और स्क्रोटम जैसे लोगों में उलझन और शर्मिंदगी पैदा करते हैं। शायद आप में भी, प्रिय पाठक?
हालाँकि, बॉडी सबके पास होती है? लेकिन कोई इसके बारे में बात नहीं करना चाहता। ख़ासतौर पर प्राइवेट अंगों का तो कोई नाम तक नहीं लेना चाहता। इतनी रोक-टोक शर्म के बीच, हमारे पास ऐसी कोई जगह नहीं, जहाँ अपने शरीर के बारे में हम कुछ समझ और सीख सकें। अपने शरीर के साथ हमारा रिश्ता टेक्निकलर होने के बजाय, एक बोरिंग ब्लैक एंड व्हाइट प्रोडक्ट बनकर रह जाता है।
बस, इसी जगह यह पुस्तक काम आती है—वैज्ञानिक, मज़ेदार और आसानी से समझ में आनेवाली गाइड की तरह सबकुछ बतानेवाली कि ‘अंदर क्या है’ या ‘बाहर क्या है’। आपकी चिंता चाहे जो भी हो, डॉ. क्युट्र्स आपको सब बताने के लिए हाज़िर है।
