Soft cover. Zustand: New. Prakriti and Purusha are two permanent entities - one completes itself in consonance with the other. Women, the representative of Prakriti have been in crisis for a long time, not only in undeveloped but also in developing countries. The crisis owes its origin to a break from tradition, multiculturalism, high hopes, and aspirations. For centuries, these acts of cruelty have vehemently denied Women the right to exist. But this marginalized section of the society is not devoid of an ancestral legacy of protestors. Women, and their supporters, have repeatedly endeavoured to address this question through numberless volumes. But the strangling of these voices interrogating the manipulative system, which has time and again, sought to redact the painful and complex reality, cannot always be ignored. The anthology entitled Cuckoo in Crisis comprises poems of 25 women poets spread out in different corners of India and abroad. It contains poems of various moods and manners perceptively questioning a woman's ongoing crisis and their timeless sins. It helps unleash the putrefied consciousness initiating a metamorphosis of change. The omnibus collection not only reminds us of the traumas of violence committed against women but also offers us the joy of freedom reclaimed by Women.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Genetics arose out of the identification of genes, the fundamental units responsible for heredity. Genetics may be defined as the study of genes at all levels, including the ways in which they act in the cell and the ways in which they are transmitted from parents to offspring. Modern genetics focuses on the chemical substance that genes are made of, called deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, and the ways in which it affects the chemical reactions that constitute the living processes within the cell. Gene action depends on interaction with the environment. DNA sequences in the nuclear diploid genome usually exist as two allelic copies (on paternal and maternal homologous chromosomes). In addition to this degree of repetition, about 40% of the human nuclear genome in both haploid and diploid cells is composed of sets of closely related nonallelic DNA sequences (DNA sequence families or repetitive DNA). Within the considerable variety of different repetitive DNA sequences are DNA sequence families whose individual members include functional genes (multigene families), and also many examples of nongenic repetitive DNA sequence families. This book is useful to researchers, molecular biologists, biotechnologists, plant breeders and teachers engaged in advanced genetics.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Vertebrates and Evolution is written bearing in mind that the modern trends of studies on the chordates have changed drastically from classical study of one or two commonly available representative types to rather detailed comparative account of organs and organ systems present in all available extant forms. Vertebrates have evolved more complex digestive systems to adapt to their dietary needs. Some animals have a single stomach, while others have multi-chambered stomachs. Birds have developed a digestive system adapted to eating un-masticated (un-chewed) food. Vertebrates are a well-known group of animals that includes mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish. The defining characteristic of vertebrates is their backbone, an anatomical feature that first appeared in the fossil record about 500 million years ago during the Ordovician period. The evolution of modern cells is arguably the most challenging and important problem the field of Biology has ever faced. In Darwin's day the problem could hardly be imagined. For much of the 20th century it was intractable. Evolutionary biology is the subfield of biology that studies the evolutionary processes that produced the diversity of life on Earth, starting from a single common ancestor. These processes include natural selection, common descent, and speciation. The book provides an introduction to structure-function concept at the level of organs and organ systems, which is fundamental to the understanding of synthesis of comparative anatomy.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. The Partition of the Indian sub-continent has been a live and protracted issue for discussion and deliberation for various reasons. Even though the division of India was accomplished in 1947, about seventy years ago, the issue has never ceased to be debated upon. Traces of the trauma of bloodshed, displacement, re-settlement continue even today and are realized through individual memory, memoir writing, archiving and by other means.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Renaissance, Translation and Poetry: Essays in Criticism has been developed out of some critical essays which were written at different times. Hence, it covers a wide and variegated range of subjects. The first essay 'The Spirit of Renaissance' explains Derozio's philosophy of life and his works as a driving force of Bengal Renaissance. The second essay 'Diverse Aspects of Translation' upholds the theoretical aspects of translation and its significance in Indian context. The third essay was written in 2014 to celebrate the centenary of World War-I (1914-2014). The rest of the book includes some papers on the writings of Rabindranath Tagore, Jayanta Mahapatra, Jibanananda Das and Sri Aurobindo.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Contents: Preface. 1. Importance of Gauchara in Predicting Future. 2. The Effect of the Major Planets' Movements on Human Beings Overview. 3. The Rudimentary Groundwork of Prediction. 4. Mahadasha or Gauchara--Which is Good for prediction? 5. Yogas and Yktis (Conjuncts). Appendices. References. What has been presented in this revised edition of the book has come out as a result of long experience, dispassionate and deep thinking involved with extensive research on astrology. We have not tried to express things relating gauchara just to prove or disprove something already existing in the field of astrology for a long time. We have put our views forward before the astrology oriented readers to give a second thought to what we have found out and to examine things the way we have seen and experienced. Our conclusions unfold that it would be erroneous to allocate any percentage to gauchara in respect of predicting on matters relating human issues. A number of real examples given inside the book, break away with the prevalent belief that gauchara should be assigned certain fixed percentage when taking decisions about important issues relating to one's life or personal problems. When you read the texts and go through the actual examples of the natives whose real time of birth is given and dashas calculated, you may start thinking in that direction to find out the truth. Gradually you will find that gauchara is also an important aspect of astrology and should never be ignored as it can lead to decide things in favour or against a native if an astrologer is able to see distinctly.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Developmental biology is the science of explaining how a variety of interacting processes generate an organism's heterogeneous shapes, size, and structural features that arise on the trajectory from embryo to adult, or more generally throughout a life cycle. It represents an exemplary area of contemporary experimental biology that focuses on phenomena that have puzzled natural philosophers and scientists for more than two millennia. DNA is segregated away from the cytoplasm within the nucleus, although, as we have seen, the isolation of the nucleus from the cytoplasm is by no means complete since there are a number of pores which are present in the nuclear membrane and which lead into the cytoplasm as such. But the significant thing about DNA is that practically all of it in the cell is localized in the nucleus and it is the DNA that has the major genetic function in the cell. Fertilisation (also known as conception, fecundation and syngamy), is the fusion of gametes to produce a new organism. In animals, the process involves the fusion of an ovum with a sperm, which eventually leads to the development of an embryo. Depending on the animal species, the process can occur within the body of the female in internal fertilisation, or outside in the case of external fertilisation. An outstanding feature of Cell and Developmental Biology is a wealth of exceptionally clear and vivid illustrations that complement the text, resulting in a succinct yet fully up-to-date treatment of this rapidly changing field. Contents 1. Introduction to Cell Biology 2. Structure and Functions of Nucleus Cell 3. Spematogenesis; Oogenesis; Fertilization; Parthenogenesis and Regeneration 4. Development of Frog 5. Development of Chick.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Indian Feminism dismisses the need to include the intricacies of Caste as a major issue which problematises many other areas and concerns specifically for Dalit women and their lives on the margin of the margin. Dalit feminism aims to redirect and reorient Indian Feminism for inclusion and attention to the serious issues and atrocities faced by Dalit women in Indian society. Dalit feminism has become a movement which points out double patriarchy and overlapping patriarchy of 'upper caste' men and women. It questions the hegemony of Indian feminism bypassing the issue of caste and highlights the joint oppression of Dalit women on the basis of caste, gender, class and race as well. Dalit women have been victims of several futile cultural, social and religious norms and practices. Devdasi,Jogin and trafficking of Dalit women are everywhere available stories about the miseries and suppression of Dalit women. Dalit feminism considers all women as Dalit in its modern view as downtrodden and broken. It aims to develop a socio-political and literary canon to include the issue of caste to visualise the intricacies of Indian society and its patriarchal machinery. It also demands gender and caste elimination and condemns discrimination for more social mobility and nation building with surmountable concern for women in general.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. The Present Volume is a study of the involvement of the Indian English novelists with history investigating Partition Novels. These novelists accepted the Partition as side issue in novels which pursued the policy of the Britisher's 'divide and rule' engulfing communal riots in India. It also discusses major aspects of novels based on the assumption that history fiction connection is fascinating as well as significant for the readers. All the critical approaches are a reaction against something which went before. The first three chapters discuss methodological and historical issues related to the historical admixture representing hardship, the influence of Gandhi to the Partition and India's struggle for independence. The remaining chapters depict the gruesome scenes like hunger, abduction, rape, bloodshed, etc which were rampant in the post- war Period. It mentions writers like Khushwant Singh, Manohar Malgonkar, Chaman Nahal, Bhabani Bhattacharya and Shashi Tharoor to illustrate the whole range of the cross sections of the society.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. This book is a comprehensive study of the whole oeuvre of John Steinbeck, his fiction about the Depression era of the Thirties and the Dust Bowl trilogy, encounter with the American Dream and the prevailing socio-economic and political conditions of both depressions / post-depression torments. The writings of Steinbeck still form major documents of Twentieth century American literature presenting challenges and problems to the reader using the tools of Dream and Depression from the Marxist point of view, the author has brought out Steinbeck's philosophical moorings and sociological preoccupation. A study of this book is a must if Steinbeck's esoteric doctrine and fiction have to be seen as a systematic whole under close scrutiny. As literary artist par excellence Steinbeck provides a new and authentic vision, the American scene from an attitude of social determination. The most significant works like The Grapes of Wrath, East of Eden and The Winter of our Discontent have been perceptively analyzed and examined in the context of American Dream of success. A fresh interpretation thus offered in the book makes it a compulsory reading for researchers and students who intend to make an earnest study of Steinbeck and his times.
