Contours of Xanadu  (English, Paperback, Pradeep Nevatia SCD)

Since the times of Sumer, the earliest known Mesopotamian civilization in south-central Iraq, to the fall of Sadam Hussein’s Iraq in modern times, humankind has worried just about its sustainable co-existence with the Earth – its ever-immutable habitat – without transgressing the bio-physical planetary boundaries. What could then be the problem? Furthermore, isn’t it preposterous that 6000 years since the founding of Eridu and Uruk, the earliest known qualified cities in southern Mesopotamia, the socio-eco-economic reimbursement of sustainability should remain fraught with tension between economic growth and environmental deterioration! What could then be the answer? In Contours of Xanadu, we most intensely trace the configuration of enduring sustainability as we connect our arguments end-to-end, using the frameworks of quantum physics, relativity theory, and the ground-breaking string theory, and go on to validate the expostulation in the composition of Vedic philosophy.
