"Written by a group of distinguished scholars and illustrated with eighty-four colour photographs this collection of essays pertains to different aspects of Ethnoarchaeology with definite focus on crucial issues, such as the relevance of ethnohistoric accounts and the role of analogy as an explanatory tool in understanding the material culture and world view of past societies. It also discusses various problems that continue to plague this particular research strategy. The problem of presenting ethnographic data to archaeological record as a direct historical analogy results in an uncritical imposition of the present onto the past. This book seeks to examine the methodological problem and reviews the on-going debates on the definition and scope of the discipline with special reference to India. It is a first step towards reassessing, and reviewing the discipline with a much more critical perspective. This volume will be of use to the readers across the discipline of history, philosophy, anthropology, archaeology and heritage management." (jacket).

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. Contents: Introduction. Map of West showing the find-spots of sculptures. 1. Brahmanical sculptures. 2. Buddhist sculptures. 3. Jain sculptures. 4. Architectural fragments. Appendices. Glossary. The first-ever catalogue of stone sculptures collected from different parts of West Bengal, Bihar, and parts of Bangladesh belonging to Brahmanical, Buddhist, and Jain pantheon has been published by Directorate of Archaeology and Museum, Department of Information and Cultural Affairs, Government of West Bengal. Archaeologists say the first-ever catalogue of historical stone sculptures in the region titled Vibrant Rock contains a comprehensive details of 444 stone sculptures housed in the State Archaeological Museum at Behala in the southern parts of the city, dated between the sixth and 19th century AD. Most of the stone sculptures belong to Pala-Sena period. However, the unique piece highlighted in this catalogue is a sculpture dating to the 19th century: the specimen is a stone plaque depicting in six different panels the story of birth of Lord Krishna. In each of the panels, there are depictions of the parturition rooms (labour room) in the palaces of Kansa and Nanda. The plaque is accompanied with an inscription in Sanskrit. Another talked about is the image of Surya, discovered from Mahisantosh in Naogaon district of Bangladesh. The exquisitely sculpted piece of the ninth century is from the time of Pala King Mahendrapala. "Through Vibrant Rock we have tried to introduce a major collection of sculptures of the region in form of a catalogue. The book offers not only iconography and stylistic affiliation of the sculptures but also an array of information about find spots, modes of acquisition, rock type, and inscriptional detail," Guatam Sengupta, former director general of Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) and author of the book, said. The book also deals with a wide range of rocks used in making these historical sculptures such as coarse-grained granite gneiss, ultramafic rock, ballast, chlorite schist, mica and sandstone. Sharmila Saha, the co-author of the book, said that an analysis of the sculptures provided in the book will prove useful to identify the influence of regional schools of aesthetics on the broad South Asian Art.

"The book focuses on the present state of our understanding of archaeology of the early historic period. It explores archaeological methods -- aims, objectives and practices. It addresses key issues that are traditionally associated with early historic archaeology. It tries to understand the changes that have taken place in the past decades due to the emergence of new issues, theories and methods. Through thirty essays arranged in five sections the book charts through the various issues of early historic archaeology of the subcontinent. The reader will get an idea of the scope and evolution of this sub-discipline, use of natural sciences in understanding the processes of early history, relevance of text-aided archaeology, recent trends in study of different artefacts, problems related to early urbanization and exchange mechanisms, etc. The volume would be useful for readers interested in the history of the early South Asia."

Terracotta plaques and figurines are known from the later part of the 19 century from a number of archaeological sites of West Bengal. Sites like Pandu Rajar Dhibi Chandraketugarh Tamluk Harinarayanpur or Panna evoke memories of a vibrant artistic tradition that goes back to the Second Millennium B.C. and remained active till the 6 Century A.D. The State Archaeological Museum West Bengal is one of the most important repositories of early Bengal Terracottas. Though largely unknown to the connoisseurs of Indian Art the collection is accessible to the small community of museum professionals. This volume brings together for the first time all the available information with sensitive black and white illustration of these early Bengal Terracottas. This is an important addition to the existing literature on early Indian Art. 406 pp.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Vibration of Periodic Structures introduces the fundamentals of periodic structure theory by considering the simplest model - wave propagation in an infinitely long periodic spring-mass system. It then shows how the knowledge of the stop and pass bands can be utilized to find the natural frequency distribution in a finite periodic structure. The basic concepts are further extended to wave propagation in infinitely long periodically supported beams and plates; distribution of natural frequencies of a similar structure of finite length; vibration of skin-stringer structures; and structuralacoustic properties of a section of an aircraft fuselage, based on a combination of the finite element method and the periodic structure theory, in a highly cost-effective manner.This book is a valuable resource of information for practicing engineers in various industries, e.g., civil, mechanical, or aerospace engineering, dealing with vibration of structures with periodic properties, including prediction of supersonic flutter characteristics of aerospace structures. It will also prove to be a beneficial reference for researchers involved with wave propagation in metamaterials and phononic devices.'Readers who have wanted a clear and connected account of vibration of periodic structures will find this treatment accessible and stimulating and will want to add this volume to their personal or institutional library. - Prof. Earl Dowell, Duke University, Durham, NC, USA.
