"Acid rain, global warming, the greenhouse effect, ozone holes, CFCs, radioactive wastes, water disinfectants, the Bhopal gas stragedy, carbon monoxide emissions, methane levels, flash fires, mercury poisonings.are all Hot Topics today. These dangers and threats are now very real and lived, many of them actualized for some parts of the world, and far closer to home than ever before. These critical issues are no longer matters of 'discussion' or mere academic interest. "Our understanding of the environment and its degeneration due to industry and negligent resource (ab) use has undergone a tremendous change since the sixties when some of these phrases gained currency. A basic and simple understanding of the issues involved has escaped many of us who were schooled before 'ecology' and 'environment' appeared on school and University Syllabi. Those more familiar, yet not fully conversant, with these processes find ourselves equally stumped at deciphering and keeping abreast of ecological news and moves. Hot Topics demystifies the key concepts and processes in a simple style that will be accessible not only to technocrats, industry professionals, entrepreneurs,

"This book provides not merely a synthesis of existing material on the cultural history of the Andhras but also original research, insight and in some cases thoughtful new interpretations. In recent years interest in cultural history has grown and has played an ever-increasing part in the reinterpretation of history of the nation in general and Andhra in particular. Spanning the period from the early historical times to the late medieval period Krishnakumari's the wide-ranging and analytical survey of the archaeological and literary sources demonstrates the growth and development of religious traditions and ritual practices around some Hindu divinities, popularity of certain Gods over the others and the development of monumental art and architecture through the ages. Covering a wide range of topics and issues of cultural history of Andhra, it brings to light for the first time some unpublished and unnoticed data through intensive field studies. The topics included in the volume were neither sufficiently focused nor discussed earlier in the works on the cultural history of Andhradesa. The book's wide ranging and rigorous analysis of the new evidences offers one of the most powerful statements written on the cultural history." (jacket).

Health and illness: An Anthropological Exploration is based on the concept that health and illness are component of a larger society, experimental and explanatory complex. It draws on the ethnographic literature to illustrate the chemistry that defines and address health and illness. This book brings into light how it is defined and experienced in social and cultural context and indigenous explanation for the etiology of illness. The social and cultural dynamics of diagnosis and treatment of illness is also another important aspect of this book. The whole book is a pedagogic exercise to identify health and illness from Anthropological perspective and how Anthropologist can help us in understanding the issues related with health, illness and health care. This book will provide basis of recommendation to health planners as it will bridge the yawning gap between what we think is the need and the actual need at grassroot level.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. In Indian sculptural art are often seen Dvarapalas: the door guardians (or the door keepers) on the door frames (toranas) or portals leading to the deity within a shrine. Invariably, carved in pairs and positioned on either side of the doorways, they are depicted at the entrance of religious monuments: whether they be rock cut or structural shrines; whether they be of the Hindu, Jain or Buddhist affiliations. Besides being a vital part of the temple's decorative elements, the figures of Dvarapalas are believed to function as protectors of the shrines. In the ancient texts, they are considered under the group of divinities, called as Parivara Devatas and are endowed with divine attributes as well. This book is, perhaps, the first comprehensive iconographic study of dvarapala images found in the south Indian shrines. Surveying diverse dvarapala images as well as other kindred images, sculpted on the entrances of the enclosure walls, maha mandapas, antaralas, and sanctums of the religious monuments, the book highlights their significance and their roles as protectors of the temple deities and as mediators between the devotees and the god, besides their importance in imparting beauty to the temple complex. Based on her extensive field work, together with use of countless digital photographs and art history sources, the author also traces the development of the dvarapala images, particularly in the Hindu iconography in south India. For this study, Professor Myneni has surveyed a vast array of south Indian temples that came up over the centuries: from the earliest days to the medieval period. The book is generously illustrated with about a hundred exquisite pen-sketches and equal number of photographs.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. Contents: Preface. Introduction. 1. Textual references to mural paintings colours and techniques. 2. Mural paintings of Lepakshi. 3. Mural paintings of Macherla and Pillalamarri. 4. Bhagavata scenes in the mural paintings of Srikakulam district. 5. Miscellaneous mural paintings of Srikurmam. 6. Ramayana scenes in the mural paintings of Kanchili. 7. Modes of discourse in mural paintings of Andhra. 8. Reflections of nature in the mural paintings of Andhra. Conclusion. Bibliography. Index. Painting being an important medium for the expression of visual fantasies from the prehistoric times, the artists of Andhra during the medieval period under the royal patronage decorated the walls and ceilings of the temples in different colours choosing mostly the epic themes to showcase the moral and ethical values besides extolling the greatness of the Gods and Goddesses. Excepting the paintings of Lepakshi that are well-known both at national and global level, the mural paintings that survive in few temples of Andhra have not received the due attention of the art historians that they deserve and there is no full length study on the subject till now. Focussing mainly on the iconographical and cultural perspectives, this book documents the mural paintings of Andhra region in a comprehensive manner. The study discusses the different narrative modes and strategies used in the portrayal of the epic scenes and legends by the artists besides comparing them with the mural paintings of the neighbouring regions. The significance of the volume lies in documenting the mural paintings which may go into oblivion owing to their poor state of preservation by way of preparing an inventory as well as its detailed analysis supported by the line drawings and photographs which throws a welcome light on the several historical and religious aspects since history, sociology, religion and culture are infused in these mural paintings with local flavour.
