Soft cover. Condizione: 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. Condizione: 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. Condizione: 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. Condizione: 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. Condizione: 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. Condizione: 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. Condizione: 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. Condizione: New. The book settles a poetic paradigm with the framework of tradition for another mainstream in Indian English poetry. It establishes poetic canons which emerge out of Indian philosophy, epistemology, legend, myth and history. Charu Sheel Singh, Niranjan Mohanty and Bibhu Padhi are extensively discussed for bringing into being the seminal Indian tradition with high seriousness along with its relevance in contemporary times. Simultaneously, it traces trajectory of Indian English poetry and questions the constituting factors of current mainstream Indian English poetry. The book emphasizes that it is vital for literary culture to narrate the narratives which deal with circumlocutory structures of The Puranas and epical tradition of The Vedas and Upnishads.

Our most valuable and most instructive materials in the history of man are treasured up in India only.' Mark Twain This famous quotation is enough to introduce about the greatness of Indian Culture. Culture is the way of life in which we can see our all the traditions, customs, festival, religious and social beliefs, knowledge, innovations etc. Culture is the result of human's ideological and creative intelligence. The culture of a society or nation is a reflection of the creative talent of the citizens of that society or nation. Today our Indian youth is eager to adopt Western lifestyle. He perceives backwardness in the values of Indian culture. The luxurious lifestyle of the West is appealing to Indian society today. But at global level conditions created due to the Corona epidemic, the entire world, including the western world, is turning towards the Indian culture. It is the duty of every Indian to imbibe the Indian culture in his life and understand its importance and relevance so that India can regain its lost glory in the future. The edited book entitled as 'Indian Culture - An Overview' is only a small effort in this direction.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. This book locates Edward W. Said in the discipline of Postcolonial studies and Orientalism of which he was a progenitor as well. Out of all his works Orientalism (1978) is the most discussed and criticized book. The present book elucidates the unique features of Said's discourse on orientalism (a European understanding of the Eastern world) and looks at Said's understanding of the discourse and institution of orientalism critically. To understand the nuances of cultural hegemony and the way Said problematize it this book traverses structuralist, poststructuralist, postcolonial and Deconstructive discourses. This study is an attempt to expose the intricate relationship between culture and literature that establishes the hegemony of the Euro-American metropolitan center in the present International scenario and the way these neo-colonial forces patronize the cultural hegemony of the orthodox groups in the formerly colonized world.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. The research on men and masculinities traces back to the women's and gay liberation movements that challenged existing understandings of gender and power. This proposes to look into gender as socially constructed than what was earlier thought to be biological. As a logical extension of Feminism, Masculinity Studies looks into sex and/or gender as a discursive social construct and tries to understand them through theoretical hermeneutics. Instead of considering masculinity to be 'natural character type', 'a behavioural average' or 'a norm', the focus should be given to the process through which the gendered bodies perform. In this regard, sex and/or gender is not fixed, instead is in a continuous flux; thus, masculinity should be recognised as a gender presentation that is continuously transforming and evolving. This volume, Body Politics: Rethinking Gender and Masculinity will engage with the current developments in the field of Masculinity Studies and will try to diversify the issues of gender and masculinity.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. Contents: 1. Life and work. 2. A realistic expression in his fiction. 3. Characters: living and real. 4. Strand of realism: a comparison between Shiv K. Kumar and R.K. Narayan. 5. Social realism in Kumar's novels. 6. Compendium. Index. Shiv K. Kumar's fiction is a strong base of social realism. Realism in literature is an approach that attempt to describe life without idealization of romantic subjectivity. In this sense, Kumar's fiction is like a mirror which reflects social realities vividly. Infidelity in love and marriage is destroying the social fabric. Kumar presents it in all its nakedness. He does not merely depict the dark side of life, ruthless, violent and destructive countenance of society, but also he suggests solution to it. There is a counterbalance of dark side and bright side of life in his fiction. Apart from it, Kumar's erudition and his lucid style of writing in divergent disciplines of literature have made me feel that he is a major creative writer in Indian Writing in English.

Re-Reading Kamala Das: An Indian Eco-feminist Perspective. 4. Pioneering An Ecological Renaissance: The Sugathakumari Effect. 5. Conclusion : A Hand-in-Hand Credo: A Vedic 'Ethic of Care'. Bibliography. Index. The 'female body' since time immemorial is associated with Nature and has found corresponding representation in literature. But the female body is reduced to a mere matter in modern times. With the advent of Eco-feminism, the female body too has become an element of grave concern, an extended landscape that is made to bear on it the patriarchy's cultural inscripts often in conflict with its innate energy. This book focusses on the nature of representation of women and ecology, in the Eco-feminist perspective with the 'female body' and 'landscape' as extended metaphors of Nature in the writings of the Indo- Anglian writer Kamala Das and the Malayalam poet Sugathakumari.
