From the foreword: "In the papers collected here the reader will find the collected wisdom of Nepal's finest historical anthropologist or anthropological historian of his generation. Most Nepali historians use the facts of the present to illuminate the past, but few do so with the sophistication and sensitivity of Prayag Raj Sharma. He argues for long-term continuities of culture and structure, but he is aware of the methodological pitfalls in doing so. Of the three crucibles he identifies which have made modern Nepali culture what it is today--the far west, the Kathmandu Valley, and the Tarai--Prayag Raj Sharma has carried out first-hand research in the first two areas and he has offered new intellectual syntheses and overviews relevant to all three. . . His lucid prose, his classical sociological approach, his engaged but balanced concern, and his deep appreciation of all aspects of Nepal's society and history mean that his corpus will stand for a long time to come as an essential witness to the struggles of post-1950 Nepal to come to terms with its Hindu Past.…

Soft cover. Zustand: As New. Contents: Foreword. Preface. 1. Scope and methods of study. 2. The dark age of Nepal's early mediaeval period. 3. Some considerations on the theories of caste and the background of the Licchavi state. 4. The early mediaeval period. 5.

Newar rites of passage and festivals. 9. Land, lineage and state. Appendices. Bibliography. Index. This study of mediaeval Nepal Kathmandu Valley attempts to show how over a period of 600 years the interplay of land, lineage and state strongly shaped Newar society, including some of its key institutions such as kinship, guthi, religion and caste as well as their settlement patterns. With a focus on the mediaeval era and using both historical and anthropological methods, the author discusses the gradual development of the Newari language and culture from the Licchavi era until the 1980s. He examines continuities and changes in different aspects of their society such as their rites and festivals, the interlinkages between land and lineage, the dynamics unleashed by Hinduism and Buddhism vying for supremacy, and the interface between state and society. Land, Lineage and State will be an important addition to the understanding of the Newar, who gave rise to arguably the most complex of Himalayan societies of the mediaeval period.…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. Actuarial science is an interdisciplinary science comprising four subjectsmathematics, statistics, economics and finance. Statistics plays a key role in laying the foundation of actuarial calculations taking into account the uncertainty in the mortality pattern of society and under varying economic conditions. In the first edition of the book, we introduced some basic concepts related to computation of premiums and reserves for some standard life insurance products adopting a rigorous mathematical approach underlying the theoretical concepts. These were supported by numerical computations with R software. In this revised second edition of the book, the theoretical development has not been changed much. However, the role of R software has been extended. In each chapter, computational exercises based on R software are included to provide a hands-on experience to students. Another novel feature of this edition is the inclusion of over 160 multiple choice questions for which answers are provided. The main aim of this textbook is to provide a thorough treatment of basic techniques, theoretically and computationally using R, so that it will be suitable for self-study, particularly in the present era of online education.…
