The Happy Associate - free download

The Happy Associate (Tranquebar, Rs. 150) is the book we should scratch each other’s eye out to get our hands on. It’s vicious, hilarious take on Delhi and it’s hair-gelled, paneer sushi-munching denizens. Author Urja has taken an electric snapshot of middle-class Dilliwallas through the eyes of Kirti a.k.a. underdog(“When I first overhead it. I told myself that it sounded cool. Like an American rapper’s name.”). our hero is a “twenty-six-year-old dude, fair-skinned and slender” who is an associate in a Delhi accounting firm(“the kind of firm with expensive sculptures, girls in suit-boot, and tax deals in billions”). He’s a small-town guy with roots “in a bright bowl of north India where the holy tulsi grows” with big city aspirations. Kirti’s life is all about manoeuvring through office parties, games of Scrabble, speaking bad Hindi( “this makes them assume that I am so comfortable with English, that I am shaky with Hindi”) – and impressing Mandira Rastogi.

Energy Efficiency And Climate Change - Book download

Let’s get energizedWith the fumes of Copenhagen Climate Change summit still in the air, quite a slew of books on environment have reached the bookshelves. This one looks at one of the key aspects of the debate on global warming: energy efficiency and its role in development and enhancing the environment.

What makes this book attractive is that it begins with the story of how it all began: the misuse and overuse of resources. It then moves on to tackling what can be done now to save whatever is left. There is also an ‘independent assessment” of the arguments and theories that are doing the rounds on climate change in terms of causes, outcomes, mitigation and policies.

For those who are new to this world buzzing with climate jargon and theories, read the first chapter. It dissects the issue of energy efficiency well. It’ll help new converts understand the basic issue of how energy efficiency links up with larger national goals such as poverty alleviation, environment degradation and green house gas emissions.

While the preference traces the beginnings of industrialisation and where the world went wrong, the following chapters take the readers through inter-relations among the environment, energy and economy, the climate, market-based measures as means to unfold climate change mitigation, commericalisation of clean technology and the role of institutions in promoting energy efficiency.

Since clean technologies is what everybody is talking about these days, the chapter on what it takes to commericalisegreen technologies will be of particular interest.

A handy book, the rather bladly titled Energy Efficiency And Climate Change has the strength to draw in a wider range of readers and not only get academics and policy wonks to nose their way through the chapters. Having said that, a line on the book cover: I am yet to fathom what the picture is all about. Couldn’t it have been made a little more interesting? After all, isn’t this the right time to get readers interested in – as some wag put it – hot air?
