Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. The book "Environment as Capsule" is witty informal approach to describe what's happened, is happening, and will happen to the environment. It captures your interest with a revolutionary new approach to understand the environmental science. Some realistic case studies, experiences woven throughout each chapter, uses real-life stories to give you a tangible and engaging framework around which to learn and understand the science behind environmental issues. This book gives us a chance to learn about the stories that go along with all that is going on in our world, pollution, destruction, global warming, or better phrased as climate change. It encompasses the thoroughly expressed information about The Panchatatvas; from the source to finish, but there is a part of it we know so little about.

Hardback. Condition: New. This book delves into the fundamental theoretical aspects of reliability analysis, focusing on various probabilistic models. These models are essential for representing random variations in underlying variables such as time-to-failure, the number of failures between consecutive repairs and similar metrics. The calculation, estimation and prediction of reliability all hinge on using appropriate probability models. The book introduces various models beneficial for researchers in the field of reliability. It also provides a comprehensive overview of the available models, highlighting their distinctive features and practical applications in a narrative format. The content of the book is designed to appeal to a broad readership. Students and researchers in the field of reliability analysis will find a comprehensive yet easily understandable summary of models applicable to their data sets of interest.
