Book Description
This book commemorates 150 years of railways in India. Introduced under colonial rule in the second half of the nineteenth century, the railways soon embraced the length and breadth of India bringing with it rapid political, economic, ecological and cultural changes. The articles in this book explore the impact of this technological phenomenon from a range of interdisciplinary perspectives. From early railway thinking in renaissance Bengal, to railway policing in Uttar Pradesh and issues of management to railway themes in literature, the writers in this volume reveal the world of the railways in all its exciting facets. The photo essay invokes the nostalgic world of steam with a series of evocative images. In the twenty-first century, the ever expanding horizon of the railways continues to draw in people and goods in the third largest railway network in the world.

Book Description
The Diesel Locomotives of the Indian Railways are its prime movers and has taken over the responsibility pretty well from the steam locomotives. The Diesel locomotives have developed over time and the experience and expertise gained by manufacturing them, has helped Indian Railways to develop many of it's own locomotives. These indigenously developed locomotives are at par with World standards and has help India not only achieve self sufficiency but also to export them.In this book, we look into the glorious and beautiful history of these locomotives and see how well they were able to shoulder the burden which they got from the steam locomotives when they were retired.

Book Description
The Steam Locomotives were the pioneer locomotives in India and they helped the Railways reach to every part of the country. The steam locomotives have a very rich history, given the number of types used and the over century long operational usage. Their rich heritage can be gauged from the fact that they are still in operation today, while DC locomotives which were introduced much later, have faded away. In this book, we look into this rich history and see each of them in details.

Book Description
Just like today, with high-specification computers being used to design even higher specification models for the next generation, the making of machines to make machines was one of the most important aspects of the Industrial Revolution. The lathe, for example, is the oldest known machine tool and dates back to antiquity, but it wasn't until the late 17th century that such industries as clock making, the building of scientific instruments, furniture and gun makers, began to convert from woodworking lathes to ones that ware capable of machining metal. Craftsmen needed precise machines that could shape metal gears, cut metal screws and stamp shapes out of metal, thus enabling others to assemble their products.
