Hardcover. Condizione: New. The Gajapati is an Institution of seminal significance in Odisha. The dual status of the Gajapati, both as a king and a servant (Adyasebak), makes him distinctly unique. Gajapati kings have acted as the vassals or deputies, or the agents of Lord Jagannath, who is held as the Supreme Sovereign. This foundational doctrine was an innovative experiment in statecraft used by the Gajapatis to secure and sustain the support of the people for expansion and consolidation of the kingdom. The Odishan kingdom, at its pinnacle of glory during the reign of Kapilendra Deb (AD 1435-1467), stretched from the river Ganges to the Cauvery River but witnessed decline since the advent of the Afghans (1568), followed by the Marathas (1751) and the British (1803), finally leading to complete dispossession of territory and making the Gajapati or the Raja of Puri, a king without a kingdom. Apart from interesting historical facts, the book contains fascinating stories. There was one Gajapati king, a loyal devotee of Lord Jagannath, who converted to Islam; another Gajapati who adopted a son as heir but disowned him in favour of another adopted child, leading to a prolonged court case; one king was accused of murder and banished to the Andamans. The stories on attempts to protect the shrine from repeated invasions by Muslim rulers and shifting the revered deities to different secret locations, and the narrative of the remarkable Queen Suryamani Patamahadei (the widow of Gajapati Birakeshari Deb II and mother of Dibyasingha Deb III [18591888]) are riveting. The book elaborates on the Gajapati's gradual withdrawal from the role of royalty, even as his association with Lord Jagannath continues to thrive. This time-honoured ritual association with the Lord has placed the Gajapati in a position of high esteem and veneration among the people, for which he is reverentially known as Chalanti Vishnu (living embodiment of Lord Vishnu).…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Agriculture is currently facing multi-faceted threats in the form of unpredictable weather variability, frequent droughts and scarcity of irrigation water, together with the degradation of soil resources and declining environmental health. These stresses result in the modification of plant physiology to impart greater resilience to changing abiotic and biotic environments, but only at the cost of declining plant productivity. In light of these facts, assessing the status of natural resource bases, and understanding the mechanisms of soil-plant-environment interactions so as to devise adaptation and mitigation approaches, represent great and imminent challenges for all of us. In this context, it is essential to understand the potential applications of modern tools, existing coping mechanisms and their integration, as this will allow us to develop suitable advanced mitigation strategies.From a broader perspective, the book deals with crop-environment interaction in the context of changing climatic conditions. To do so, it addresses four major aspects:Understanding the mechanismof carbon dynamics in the soil-plant-environment continuum; greenhouse gas fluxes in agricultural systems; and soil properties influenced by climate change and carbon sequestration processes.Mitigation and managementof the photo-thermal environment to improve crop productivity; soil health under variable climate; reducing agro-ecosystem evapotranspiration losses through biophysical controls; and heat stress in field crops and its management.Studying the impactof climate change on biotic environments; insect-pest interactions; manifestations of disease; and adaptation strategies for island agro-ecosystems.Innovativeapproachesto assess stress impacts in crops, such as crop modeling, remote sensing, spectral stress indices etc.The book presents a collection of contributions from authoritative experts in their respective fields. Offering young researchers new perspectives and future research directions, it represents a valuable guide for graduate students and academics alike. 452 pp. Englisch.…
