After all, they need him: he is a valuable scientist in a Semi-Secret Defence Lab, one of the few to be entrusted with the high-level research into the composition of Signal Red, a type of glass found only in a remote village in Rajasthan. All's well for Gopal and his wife Vidura on their sleepy campus till an old friend, Anuprabha, visits them and starts asking awkward questions. Afraid that she will stir up trouble, Gopal forces her to leave the campus. But the questions, he finds, won't go away: what are the nano-powders produced in the labs actually being used for? And how far are his superiors willing to go to test the success of their inventions? Desperate to find answers that will also help him justify the ethics of the work he has devoted himself to, Gopal stumbles upon some incriminating documents and is soon sucked into a terrifying labyrinth of deceit and corruption. Now Gopal Chandran is on the run.but there's nowwhere left to run to.".

Sharing food, eating salt, breaking bread, raising a toast, picnics in the wild, formal dinners all have certain ideological, political and social significances. Some foods are taboo, whereas others endow the eater with purity. The means of preparing or processing food in different cultures each symbolise something. The Writer s Feast is a collection of essays that discuss the various symbolic representations associated with food. The essays in this volume show how food is a system of signs through which human societies give meanings to the material world they inhabit. The book is divided into four thematic sections. The first section eating cultures looks at social practices and systems relating to food and its consumption. The second section gendering food, focuses on the gender implications of cooking and serving food. In the third section, migrancy, diaspora and the cosmopolitan gourmet, the overwhelming importance of the symbolic function of food is discussed in immigrant narratives, as cuisine comes to be associated with the lost or abandoned homeland of the refugee or migrant. The last section of this book, the body and its limits, looks into the implications of excessive appetites on the human body and what drives them. It also speaks of healthy eating practices. By way of contrast, it also examines what happens to human beings, their bodies when driven to the limit by extreme physical conditions or by famine and want. The Contributors featuring in this book are scholars from all over the world.

The gilt cover text on dj is a bit rubbed. x, 471 p. w/ illus., chapter endnotes, appendices, bibliography, index. A thorough and solid study of the Press in India. Chatterjee covers the years long discussion in Oxford about setting up a branch in India, to the establishment of the Press in New Delhi in 1912.

The relationship of Indian scholars with the Press is also examined. An impressive work.
