For students, researchers, scholars, academicians and general book lovers in Jammu and Kashmir, there is a unique opportunity to have any book of their choice delivered at their doorsteps without spending any money on shipping.
Scholars without Borders, an online bookstore for academic books has a special offer for residents of Jammu and Kashmir. Books can be ordered from them in three different ways. If you know the title and author, send them an email at [email protected] or SMS them at 99971763322. They will get back to you to confirm the order and arrange payment, and they will send you the book free of shipping charges.
The interested readers from Jammu and Kashmir can also place an order via website,
http://www.scholarswithoutborders.in. There are over 3000 books listed there in a wide range of subjects. Books can be searched for by author, title, or keywords, and payment can be made via credit card, cheques, or money order.
Scholars without Borders has been developed as a response to the longstanding difficulty scholars in India have faced in disseminating their research and scholarship to a wider audience. At its best, Indian academic output is of the highest quality and at the forefront of current knowledge frontiers.
It is inexpensive by any standards, but still not easily available. The publications listed on the website are relevant and vital for any student or scholar seeking to keep abreast of the most recent developments.
Scholars without Borders features publications of the Indian Academy of Sciences, the International Center for Theoretical Physics and a number of independent publishers, including Hindustan Book Agency, Capital Publishing, Kali for Women, LeftWord, Navayana, Oxford University Press, Orient Longman, Permanent Black, Tulika Press, teri (The Energy and Resources Institute), Universities Press, Women Unlimited, and others.
Currently, books in the disciplines of Agricultural Sciences, Applied Mathematics, Archaeology, Art & Architecture, Biography, Biology, Chemistry, Classics, Climate, Development, Studies, Drama, Earth Sciences, Ecology and Environment, Economics, Energy, Engineering, Finance, Gender Studies, History, History of Science, Law, Life, Sciences, Literature, Management, Studies, Mathematics, Natural History, Philosophy, Physics, Politics, Religion, Sociology, Strategic Affairs, Translation, Womens Studies and Water are available for purchase on the website.
The list of titles carried by the web site www.scholarswithoutborders.in is growing, as is the range of disciplines. In addition, there are free digital books for downloading as well as the possibility of managing subscriptions to periodicals and journals.
Finally, there is a comprehensive list of Open Access journals that are published from India: this list of over 75 journals includes almost 40 titles in medicine alone. This page provides a convenient gateway through which scholars can gain information and directly access the journals.
Scholars Without Borders is a new organisation with a mission to disseminate the best of Indian academic publishing via the Internet to a global scholarly audience.
Through this website, it is now possible to acquire information and order a diverse range of scholarly books, monographs, texts, journals, periodicals, and conference proceedings, currently published in India. |
