Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The courtly monuments at Vijayanagara and at the later capitals of the Vijayanagara kings at Penukonda and Chandragiri are unique. Their architecture is a distinctive blend of indigenous Southern Indian features and imported Islamic styled elements derived from the Bahmani traditions of the Deccan.…This royal style appears to have been invented for the Vijayanagara kings, and examples of courtly monuments in this style still stand at all of the Vijayanagara capitals. That this idiom was the inspiration for later royal architecture in Southern India may be seen in the palaces of the Nayakas and their successors. The volume sets out to provide the Vijayanagara period courtly monuments with a complete description, and a full set of measured drawings and photographs accompanies the text. The architecture is analysed in terms of its component elements, the different sources of these elements, and the phases of development by which this style was created. The influence on later traditions is estimated by a comparison with Nayaka period palaces. There is a discussion of the functional aspects of the Vijayanagara buildings, and their possible symbolic meaning is also considered. The volume concludes with a description of the Muslim monuments at the Vijayanagara site, thereby demonstrating the presence of Bahmani architectural traditions at the Hindu capital.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book explores the complex interplay between forest ecology and agriculture in Mughal North India. Drawing on an in-depth analysis of historical sources, it investigates the sustainable interdependency between fauna, agriculture, and forest.

By juxtaposing environmental history with agricultural studies, the book offers a nuanced understanding of how nature, the state, and ecology interacted in early modern India. It makes a valuable contribution to the growing scholarship on North India's environmental past.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Brahmins, originally in charge of the sacred sphere, followed different paths, creating therefore, within the community, many subcultures and ways of apprehending the world. From textual definitions to socio-economic adjustments, political influences and historical evolution, they went through multi…ple processes of identity building. Brahmin identity is indeed not an absolute notion. The various manifestations of Brahminical identities have to be pictured in contexts defined in connection with specific expressions of otherness.This book aims at understanding this dialogue between identity and otherness, creating phenomena of differentiation. The relations to a Brahmin model, the strategies to remain part of the elite, the discourses on secularism and casteism and identity repercussions of reservation policies in favour of backward populations are some of the factors which can elucidate the construction of such separate identities.So who is a Brahmin This study questions the notion of Brahminical identity in India today, through the contextualization of discourses emerging from contemporary middle class Brahmins settled in Delhi, Agra and Chennai. It falls within the framework of an analysis of the cultural context of politics.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Shastrartha in India: Methodology and Applications revisits one of the richest traditions of Indic wisdom - a system of dialogue and debate that combined intellectual rigor with ethical responsibility. Unlike adversarial argumentation, Shastrartha was conceived as a collaborative quest for truth, wh…ere views were clarified, tested, and refined through disciplined yet friendly exchange to reveal the true nature of the subject matter, spanning both worldly and spiritual disciplines. In its prime, this wisdom flourished across present-day South Asia. The book traces its philosophical roots and historical expressions from the Vedic era to modern times. It then presents Shastrartha's methodology - structuring arguments, identifying fallacies, and sustaining dialogue - while demonstrating its pressing relevance in addressing misinformation, disinformation, and 'infodemics'. Finally, it envisions Shastrartha's future potential in strengthening democratic dialogue, critical thinking, pedagogy, journalism, policymaking, and digital discourse, offering it as a timeless Indic model for intellectual clarity, knowledge refinement, and social resilience.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book is an attempt to evaluate and trace the background of publication of the 12 volumes Hortus Malabaricus by Henric Adrian van Rheede in the seventeenth century. An inquiry is made into how van Rheede addressed his limited knowledge of plants, drawing on the expertise and contributions of Fr.… Mathew, the Italian Carmelite, as well as the local physicians Ranga Bhatt, Vinayaka Pandit, Appu Bhatt and Itti Achuthan. The precautions van Rheede took to transport the manuscripts to Amsterdam, along with his selection of technicians for preparing copper plates and typefaces, are described, and the necessary documents to analyse and corroborate these aspects, found in the volumes of Hortus Malabaricus and from other sources are analyzed here. A separate chapter provides as authentic overview of the contents of the 12 volumes of Hortus Malabaricus, including both the original Latin and its English translation. The key role played by Dr. K.S. Manilal in undertaking the monumental task of preparing the translation of Hortus Malabaricus into English and later into Malayalam, as well as the contributions of those who assisted in the translation, is also examined. A separate chapter highlights the uniqueness of Hortus Malabaricus and discusses the concerns of Indian scientists regarding the potential use and misuse of the plants documented. Overall, readers will gain a clear picture of the process behind the preparation of this significant seventeenth-century multi volume documentation of the flora of Malabar, as well as its subsequent English translation.
