The work on Garuda is the only one of its type on a thematic delimitation. There are several books on the art of India in general that of South India or as for the matter Tamilnadu. Few books have a thematic delimitation e.g. Gopuras (J.C. Harle) and temple cars (Raju Kalidos). Several books on dynastic arts have come out of which the recent one on the Nayakas (R.K.K. Rajarajan) is noted. C. Sivaramamurti has brought out his magnum opus on Nataraja in Indian and South East Asian Art. The present work is on a minor deity Garuda. Though Garuda is one among the Amasavataras of Visnu he came to be elevated to a higher level in course of time. The book systematically traces the mythology of Garuda from puranic sources. An important dimension of the primary sources is that the Tamil ideas from various liturgical texts have been tapped. There is an exclusively chapter on the various literary works that go after Garuda such as Garudagayatri. However the most important contribution is the reflection of Gardua in the plastic and pictorial arts of the Indian subcontinent. The roots of Gardua in Indian art has been traced and its impression in early medieval art such of Calukya and Pallava examined. The high pitch of the Garuda cult is taken down to the Vijayanagara Nayaka art. Garuda occupies a status akin to Nandi. If Nandi is placed in an axial alignment with Siva/Linga Garuda is assigned the same status in Visnu temples. Besides he appears on the corners of various talas of the Vimanas and Gopuras in addition to walls of the temples in Tamilnadu. The last chapter deals with the images of Garuda in greater Indian art including countries such as Nepal Cambodia and Jawa. The book is a value adding contribution to indological studies in general and that of Indian art history in particular. 150 pp.

Corporate Social Responsibility as an analytical tool can be used in the field of business management to facilitate different business practices from both an ethical angle and a utilitarian perspective. Business managers should try to entrench networks of trust loyalty and cooperation within and without their organizations. This also makes good business sense in terms of rational choice theory. Good business is also about establishing customer friendly images in a manner that highlights values such as reliability trustworthiness quality economy and durability. These values evolve over time and are underpinned by a sustained relationship of confidence. So specific products more often that not become identified with brand names either for niche or for broad based markets. Brand equity and positioning so generally depend upon the successful merchandizing of products and their images. The Problematique of this edited anthology is structured around the polemic of civil societal institutions (networks and embeddedness) and democratic governance (inclusive growth and participatory development) among other critical areas of social scientific research. This line of theoretical research is expected to contribute new knowledge and facilitate innovative research to better understand the interactions and interplay between actors and their institutions. This anthology would benefit corporate managers business leaders management researchers/students social scientists and the general reader. 406 pp.
