"Crossing Borders, Stretching Boundaries presents the Bose-Einstein Lectures on Science, Technology and Environment, which were held in India in the years 1997-2000 under the auspices of the German Embassy and the Federation of Indo-German Societies. They cross the borders of conventional sciences as well as narrow nationalisms, and stretch the boundaries of knowledge. The title commemorates the interaction between the eminent Indian physicist Satyendra Nath Bose and Albert Einstein in the 1920s, which led to the theory of Bose-Einstein condensation, an important contribution to subatomic physics, which was proven by experiments only 70 years later. The topics covered range from physics and astronomy to science policy in the twenty-first century, global research and development cooperation, the compatibility of environmental protection with economic development, new findings in the exploration of outer space. They touch the borders of science in its relationship with religion and its limitation by ethics." (jacket)

I received your parcels with the books today and I am still completely baffled how well the books were wrapped in. (Not even Austrian customs could do them any harm. You did a lot better than amazon.com. Needless to say that I am completely happy. Thank you very much!

3. "British Feminists".

May I congratulate you on the excellent quality of the books and, in particular, I am very much obliged to you for bringing them to my attention. The attention paid to the packaging and dispatch is commendable.

Your consistent courtesy, promptness and efficiency to date is very much appreciated.

A thousand thanks for promptly sending the Pali English Dictionary which I had needed urgently. The securely packed parcel arrived safely here in the South of France all the way from distant India. I am happy that this large volume is still in mint condition.

I know of no other Indian publisher whose books can equal the superb quality of Vedams books. Similarly, no other Indian distributor of books can excel Vedams as regards the quickness of service, the perfect packing of books and their safe delivery at overseas destinations.
