In preparing this new edition of Modern Physics, we have again relied heavily on the many helpful suggestions from a large team of reviewers and from a host of instructor and student users of the earlier editions. Their advice reflected the discoveries that have further enlarged modern physics in the early years of this new century and took note of the evolution that is occurring in the teaching of physics in colleges and universities. As the term modern physics has come to mean the physics of the modern era—relativity and quantum theory—we have heeded the advice of many users and reviewers and preserved the historical and cultural flavor of the book while being careful to maintain the mathematical level of the fourth edition. We continue to provide the flexibility for instructors to match the book and its supporting ancillaries to a wide variety of teaching modes, including both one- and two-semester courses and media-enhanced courses.

Preface :
In the 19th century, as more complexes are discovered, numbers of theories are proposed to account for their formation and properties. The most successful and widely accepted theory is called chain theory (1869) of the Swedish chemist. Jorgensen’s extensive preparations of numerous complexes provided experimental foundation not only for Blomstrand-Jorgensen chain theory but for Alsatian-born Swiss chemist Alfred Werner’s coordination theory (1893) as well. Alfred Werner (1866-1919) who is regarded as father of coordination chemistry put forth his theory of coordination in 1893 even before the discovery of electron (1896). He is awarded the Noble prize in coordination chemistry in 1913 for proposing octahedral configuration of transition metal complexes. He has developed basic for modern coordination chemistry. Now coordination chemistry has reached to the advanced and modified states in terms of ideas and theories. Coordination compounds play very important role in numerous chemical and biological systems.

Preface :
There was a period of blooming Sino-Indian ties in the 1950s, founded on peaceful cohabitation, but the Tibet problem and a boundary dispute poisoned that mood. India and Pakistan went to war over the border in 1962 because of Nehru's no-dispute and no-negotiation policies. For the next two decades, ties between China and India were marked by a chilling cold war. When Rajiv Gandhi was in power in 1988, tension between India and Pakistan decreased and new efforts were made to normalize ties. Relations between the nations have progressively improved since the conclusion of the Cold War and have strengthened in several mutually beneficial areas. Inter-state visits between presidents have improved ties, and numerous topics such as border disputes have been brought up for discussion to be resolved via cooperative efforts. PM Manmohan Singh's recent visit changed the course of bilateral ties. A look back at Sino-Indian ties has been undertaken in this research.
Preface :
Due to modern civilization, Indian children become far less active as they move through adolescence and it is found that obesity is increasing among children. Childhood and adolescence may thus be pivotal times for preventing sedentary behaviour among adults. School based interventions have shown to be successful in increasing physical activity levels (Manley, A 1996). Recent newspaper reports have highlighted increasing obesity amongst school going children. Prevention of childhood obesity has the potential of preventing Cardio Vascular Diseases in adults. Sallis & Owen (1995) have recorded Hippocrates thoughts which reiterate “Generally speaking, all parts of the body which have a function, if used in moderation and exercised in labors to which each is accustomed, become healthy and well developed, and age slowly, but if unused and left to idle, they become liable to disease, and defective ingrowths, and age quickly”. Physical activity has direct relation towards improvement in physical fitness. Regular physical activity or cardio respiratory fitness decreases the risk of cardio vascular disease mortality in general and of coronary heart disease mortality in particular (Manley, 1996). Various, “Health surveys and development committee Government of India” also found poor status of public health. Several other surveys in the West have clearly pointed out that for optimal health; people of all ages have to be physically active on most days. It is also realized that current physical education programs are inadequate to promote lifetime physical fitness and every physical educators expect a change in curriculum which would lead to development of attitude towards lifelong exercise behaviour with special emphasis on health related fitness.
Preface :
Geography is concerned with the spatial distribution of various characteristics on the earth surface. Geography is the subject, which classified into two major and many subareas of study. Agricultural Geography is the branch of Human Geography. Agriculture is the primary economic activity of mankind. Agriculture is the science and an art of cultivating the soil, growing, and harvesting of crops, domestication of animal and raising of plants for the use of human being. Agriculture is more dynamic and diverse than any other human activity. Increasing population of the world needs to the huge amount of food and it will be only supplied by agriculture. It still largely depends on environmental conditions and present wide spatial variation (Dhillon S.S). Though the significance of agriculture in terms of employment and generation of national income is still important, the development of agriculture is an essential, for sufficient conditions of rural development. Its development wins strength the rate of industrial development by increasing food production capacity.

The global framework of the IPR regime has been getting increasingly complex and including in its ambit a diversity of multilateral agreements, international organizations, regional conventions, instruments and bilateral agreements. Of these, the agreements that affect the greatest number of countries are the TRIPs agreement and some of the multilateral treaties administrated by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). Human thought transcends boundaries, finding creative solutions to applied technical and scientific problems, in communicating the existence and quality of products and persuading consumers to buy them, and in expressing images and thoughts. These intellectual efforts create new technologies, describe new ways of conducting affairs, develop new products and services, and expand the cultural richness of society. These result in the development of intellectual assets, or pieces of information that are called intellectual property to the extent they bear recognized ownership. The economic returns to creating them depend on their costs of creation, their desirability to potential users, the structure of the markets in which they are sold, and the legal rights established to permit property owners to control their use. The legal devices that provide such control are called Intellectual Property Rights (IPR). It is an exclusive right granted by the State for the exploitation of intellectual creations. Besides science and technology, much of the world’s intellectual property (IP) is embodied in music, movies, videos, books, articles, illustrations and other creative content. Besides the on-going revolution and developments in digital devices and services, there is content being created, moved and consumed in increasingly complex ways. There exists technical convergence between telecommunication, broadcasting, informatics and interactive multimedia and this is showing enormous potential of growth besides dissemination and entertainment.
Preface :
Air and water pollution are growing concerns, because the threats of environmental pollution are real and the effects are already felt world-wide with the start of 21st century. Though water and land pollution are very dangerous, air pollution has become a global problem faced by both the developed nations as well as the developing ones. As air pollution has its own peculiarities, due to the tendency of its trans-boundary dispersion of pollutants over the entire world. Air pollution can be defined as the human introduction into the atmosphere of chemicals, particulate matter or biological materials that cause harm or discomfort to humans, or other living organism or damage the environment. It has been aggravated by developments that typically occur as countries become industrialized, growing cities, increased traffic, rapid economic development and industrialization, and high levels of energy consumption. All these factors act as cause and effect for one another and act in a synergistic manner to found the sanctity of natural environment. According to UNEP it is estimated that more than 1 billion people are exposed to outdoor air pollution annually. Urban air pollution is linked to up to 1 million premature deaths and 1 million pre-native deaths each year. The characteristics of urban air pollution have changed significantly over recent decades. Concentrations of traditionally important pollutants such as sulphur dioxide (SO2) and black smoke have declined substantially, while road traffic emissions have emerged as the major cause of poor air quality (Brophy et al.2007).
Preface :
Water is the most abundant substance, covering more than 70 percent of the earth’s surfaceand existing in many places and forms, mostly in the oceans and polar ice caps, but also asclouds, rain water, rivers, freshwater aquifers, and sea ice. Water is also found in the ground and in the air we breathe and is essential to all known forms of life. It is vital for all known forms of life. On Earth, 96.5 % of the planet's water is found in seas and oceans, 1.7 % in groundwater, 1.7 % in glaciers and the ice caps of Antarctica and Greenland, a small fraction in other large water bodies, and 0.001 % in the air as vapour, clouds (formed of ice and liquid water suspended in air), and precipitation. Only 2.5 % of the Earth's water is freshwater, and 98.8 % of that water is in ice (excepting ice in clouds) and groundwater. Less than 0.3 % of all freshwater is in rivers, lakes, and the atmosphere, and an even smaller amount of the Earth's freshwater (0.003 %) is contained within biological bodies and manufactured products.

There exists technical convergence between telecommunication, broadcasting, informatics and interactive multimedia and this is showing enormous potential of growth besides dissemination and entertainment.
Even though broadcasting does not draw substantive attention when it comes to multilateral trade treaty negotiations, it has started playing a critical role when it acts as a widespread tool of information transfer as a method of improving transparency and other elements of governance. Mediums of broadcast like the radio or the television – form a significant sector offering potential access point to new information and communication technologies. In recent times, media has moved into the lives of people through internet and television, especially in the areas of sports, business news, and entertainment, including soap operas. This bouyant commercialisation has resulted in intense litigations too.
Literature on the Copyright and Neighbouring Rights connecting ‘Broadcasting’ is scarce. It is not possible to separate copyright and Neighbouring Rights so as to provide a separate legal regime for protection of Neighbouring Rights in India. Developments in the global copyright regime have created so much trade interest that WIPO and WTO stand together on the issues of protection, and compel members to bring their municipal laws into conformity with international commitments that facilitate trade. This shows that Neighbouring Rights have acquired a status, from which no relegation is possible now. The need to devise a stringent domestic legal regime to strengthen these intermediary rights is strongly felt. Neighbouring Rights differ from copyright because they belong to owners who are regarded as intermediaries in the production, recording and dissemination of works. The link with copyright is due to the fact that the three categories of related rights owners are auxiliaries in the intellectual creation process since they lend their assistance to authors in the communication of the latter’s works to the public.
Neighbouring Rights have taken a new dimension with easy accessibility of technology to the world at large. The Government of India is obliged to honour fundamental principles and international treaties like UCC, WPPT and WCT. First, the Government has committed itself to respect and implement the provisions of the agreements it has ratified, which include the Universal Declaration. Second, these international instruments create a body of customary international law. Even if India has not ratified a particular treaty, the world community will judge India by these civil and political standards. Third, the rights and responsibilities embodied in these agreements are similar to those in the Indian Constitution, particularly with regard to freedom of speech and expression. Admittedly, working with these instruments is challenging. It is hard to determine what tens or hundreds of different framers intended the provisions to mean. And it is difficult to get guidance from the practices at the time the Constitution and the Charter were drafted, because technology has changed significantly since then. The Constituent Assembly finalised the Indian Constitution on November 26, 1949; it came into force on January 26, 1950. Radio broadcasting was quite limited in India in the late 1940s; at the time of India's independence from England, the Government owned and operated 11 stations. Television did not come to India until 1959, more than a year after the Russians launched Sputnik in October 1957. This study attempts to understand broadcasting rights vis-à-vis IPR with special relevance to India.
The IPR connecting this aspect is the Copyright and Neighboring Rights which are a major part of IPR designed to reward and promotes the production of intellectual works in relation to the development of information technology. Neighboring Rights are rights that may be granted to persons or legal entities different from those that are generally considered traditional beneficiaries of copyright. In countries that provide a distinct classification between copyright and related rights, the scope and level of protection granted to the beneficiaries of related rights is generally lower than that of copyright. This is in recognition that the beneficiaries of related rights are not original creators of works but merely intermediaries in their production, recording or diffusion; hence the term ‘related’ or ‘neighboring’ rights.
Broadcasting has been traditionally conceptualized as a ‘Public good’. The effort and cost required to provide it to one person is the same as if it were provided to many. Understanding the long history of machinations by broadcasters in public relations and various regulatory agencies is crucial for those concerned with the future of public broadcasting. Public-funded State broadcasting services with a monopoly of broadcasting in a country, no longer exists in developing countries. Liberalisation Policies and Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) in the new market for broadcasting, followed by de-regulation and creation of a new competitive environment, facilitate the growth of the market model in broadcasting. In an open market, it is considered that individuals can fully express their preferences and hence commercial broadcasting would be able to meet them better. Viewers become consumers. This belief is exemplified by the emergence of Multinational Broadcasting Companies.

Preface :
The foundation of the personality of a man is laid in the formative years of life. Childhood is a period of rapid growth and development and it is dependent on the interaction of many factors, which operates both internally and externally. Any deficiency during this period may cause irreparable damage to the future development of the child and no amount of subsequent attention may really make up for this loss. Therefore, if no initiative is taken to protect the large interests of children in this world, then probably the world, as a whole has to pay a heavy price in future. Unless this problem is tackled, the large mass of children will continue to suffer from exploitation and degradation.
