Pharmaceutical Technology Handbook
₹2,150.00The pharmaceutical industry is growing both in terms of volume and diversity of new products. As years pass by, new technology both for manufacture and quality control is being introduced. It is essential to maintain a competitive edge concerning quality, cost, compliance, and prompt deliveries. The fresh graduates are lacking knowledge about the ongoings of industry and there is a gap between academic education and industry expectations from pharma graduates. This comprehensive updated Pharmaceutical Technology Handbook helps in reducing the gap in understanding technology, modern pharma equipment, and plant design to some extent. Divided into six sections, the articles presented in this book, in one way or another, touch all aspects of succeeding in a competitive situation. The highlight of this book is its focus on the layout for various manufacturing sections, each prepared by expert architects/consultants. The authors are conversant with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) guidelines and have been instrumental in delivering manufacturing units of global standards approved by various approving agencies.

“ಭಾಷಾಂತರವೆಂದರೆ ಎರಡು ಭಾಷಿಕರ ನಡುವೆ ಸಂವಹನವನ್ನು ಏರ್ಪಡಿಸುವ ಕಾರ್ಯವಿಧಾನ. ಒಂದು ಭಾಷೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಕಥಿಸಿದ್ದನ್ನು, ವಿವರಿಸಿದ್ದನ್ನು, ಸಂಭಾಷಿಸಿದ್ದನ್ನು, ಭಾವನೆಗಳನ್ನು ವ್ಯಕ್ತಪಡಿಸಿದ್ದನ್ನು, ವಿಶ್ಲೇಷಿಸಿದ್ದನ್ನು, ವರ್ಣಿಸಿದ್ದನ್ನು, ವಾದಿಸಿದ್ದನ್ನು ಅದಕ್ಕನುಗುಣವಾಗಿ ಇನ್ನೊಂದು ಭಾಷೆಗೆ ಪರಿವರ್ತಿಸುವುದು ಭಾಷಾಂತರವೆಂಬ ಪ್ರಕ್ರಿಯೆ. ಒಂದು ಭಾಷೆಯಲ್ಲಿರುವ ಭಾವಲಹರಿ, ವಿಚಾರಧಾರೆಗಳನ್ನು ಇನ್ನೊಂದು ಭಾಷೆಗೆ ಸ್ಥಳಾಂತರಮಾಡುವುದು ಭಾಷಾಂತರವೆಂದು ಸ್ಥೂಲವಾಗಿ ತಿಳಿದುಕೊಳ್ಳಬಹುದು.”
“ಪ್ರಪಂಚದ ಒಂದು ಮೂಲೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಕಂಡುಕೊಂಡ ಹೊಸ ಸಿದ್ಧಾಂತಗಳು, ಆವಿಷ್ಕಾರಗಳು ಇನ್ನೊಂದು ಮೂಲೆಯ ಇನ್ನೊಂದು ಭಾಷೆಯನ್ನಾಡುವ ಜನರಿಗೆ ತಲುಪಿದಾಗ ಅವುಗಳ ಪ್ರಯೋಜನವನ್ನು ಪಡೆಯುವ ಜನರ ಸಂಖ್ಯೆ ಸ್ವಾಭಾವಿಕವಾಗಿಯೇ ಹೆಚ್ಚುತ್ತದೆ. ಪ್ರಪಂಚದಲ್ಲಿ ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಭಾಷೆಗಳನ್ನು ಕಲಿಸಿದಷ್ಟೂ ಭಾಷಾಂತರದ ಅಗತ್ಯ ಕೆಲವು ಸ್ತರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಕಡಿಮೆಯಾದೀತು. ಆದರೆ, ಅದರಿಂದಾಗಿ ಭಾಷಾಂತರಗಳಿಗೆ ಅವಕಾಶ ಹೆಚ್ಚುತ್ತಾ ಹೋಗುತ್ತದೆ.’’

Karakarthaprabodhini
₹345.00Author: Shivani V
Kaumudī (water lily) is the primer to study Sanskrit grammar, yet an ardent reader might find it a maze to untangle from its complexities. There is a need of Kaumudī (moonlight) to blossom it and show the light to reach its core. Kārakārthaprabodhinī is such an attempt. Kāraka, a factor that determines the relation between verb and the constituent words of a sentence, enables the reader to understand the intent of the sentence and thus critical discourses too. The Sanskrit grammatical texts and discourses have elaborated on the subtleties of Kāraka. Due to its profundity, there was a need for a lucid writing for the scholars and students for easy comprehension, which can be a reference book. Dr Potti made this possible for the Malayalam readers. Dr Shivani presents it for the Sanskrit fraternity too, with an introduction by Dr Varakhedi.

The Multivalence of an Epic: Retelling the Ramayana in South India and Southeast Asia
₹3,000.00Editor: Parul Pandya Dhar
The Ramayana traditions of South India and Southeast Asia are examined at multiple levels in this volume. The research presented here offers in-depth investigations of chosen moments in the development of the epic tradition together with broader trends that help in understanding the epic’s multivalence. The journey and localization of the Rāmāyaṇa is explored in its manifold expressions from classical to folk, from temples and palaces to theatres and by-lanes in cities and villages, and from ancient to modern times. Regional Rāmāyaṇas from different parts of South India and Southeast Asia are placed in deliberate juxtaposition to enable a historically informed discussion of their connected pasts across land and seas. The three parts of this volume, organized as visual, literary, and performance cultures, discuss the sculpted, painted, inscribed, written, recited, and performed Ramayanas. A related emphasis is on the way boundaries of medium and genre have been crossed in the visual, literary, and performed representations of the Rāmāyaṇa. These are rewarding directions of research that have thus far received little attention. Bringing together 19 well-known scholars in Ramayana studies from Cambodia, Canada, France, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, UK, and USA, this thought-provoking and elegantly illustrated volume engages with the inherent plurality, diversity, and adaptability of the Rāmāyaṇa in changing socio-political, religious, and cultural contexts and with shifting norms, tastes, traditions, and ideologies.

The Semi-Detached European
₹350.00Author: Michael Hindley
The European Union has emerged as a world economic power from the ashes of the Second World War. Starting with the post-war settlement, the book takes a broad and informed view of Britain’s changing relationship with this dynamic development. The successful attempt to revive democracy and establish economic recovery in Western Europe was fuelled by Franco-German reconciliation but Britain remained benevolently aloof. Britain’s own recovery was not as successful as that of the emerging “Common Market”, and so Britain’s political elite looked to Europe to replace the markets it was losing worldwide only to be spurned by her long-time rival France. Thereon, Britain played an influential role, especially in the development of the “internal market”. However, Britain never quite lost the tag of being semi-detached – wanting to take the benefits but always wary of surrendering national sovereignty for the alleged greater good. This book reviews the vital role played by major actors in Europe’s integration, including the decisive duel between Margaret Thatcher and Jacques Delors about the nature of the Europe. It provides an assessment of the epoch-making events of the fall of Berlin Wall which opened the possibility of a reunited Europe.
In this book, the author also describes his own “Europeanization” as a student, and then as an active politician who engaged in Europe’s transformation first-hand.

English Drama on the Bombay Stage in the Late Eighteenth and Nineteenth Century
₹570.00Author: Kumudini Arvind Mehta Editor: Sharmishta Saha
Theatre in Mumbai or colonial Bombay emerged at a time when the city was still finding its own contours and taking shape. “Theatre” in the sense of the art form and the word that we know today, which has been comfortably incorporated in almost all Indian languages also took shape during this early period. Kumudini Arvind Mehta’s doctoral dissertation, submitted to the University of Bombay, now known as University of Mumbai is being published in the form of this book. It navigates the journey of “theatre” starting with the early “amateur theatre” at Bombay Green in the late eighteenth century. Today we know this area as the Horniman Circle in Mumbai. She traces the origins of professional theatre in colonial Bombay to the amateur exercises of the English inhabitants, the Parsi businessmen and the English educated local inhabitants of the city. She painstakingly goes through newspaper articles and announcements, old journals, property papers, old maps etc., to weave the narrative of “theatre” that shapes the legacy of the art form that was either inherited or rejected by later artists. Mehta’s work is significant not only for the study of “theatre” but also to understand colonial sociability and the role of the English language in this regard. Sharmistha Saha, the editor of the book has given it its present shape. She has primarily updated citations, incorporated information on current research as also images of the erstwhile theatre districts wherever applicable.

Culture and Creativity: Selected Writings of N Manu Chakravarthy
₹450.00Author: Manu Chakravarthy Editor: Unni Krishnan Karikkat
Culture and Creativity is a collection of essays of N Manu Chakravarthy, a prominent culture critic known for his discourses on music, cinema, literature and several aspects of culture and philosophy. This book illustrates the intellectual and ethical perspectives that shape his discussions on wide range of issues. These discussions are reflective of the inspiration he draws from his father Prof G N Chakravarthy and his teachers Prof C D Narasimhaiah, Prof U R Ananthamurthy, and Prof B Damodara Rao. The ideas of Ivan Illich and Noam Chomsky, and his friend D R Nagaraj are also instrumental in framing the critical nature of his interpretations. The essays in this book encompass Prof Manu Chakravarthy’s perspectives on religion, secularism, tradition, and modernity. The references to Sri Narayanaguru, M K Gandhi, Rabindranath Tagore, and the interview with Gustavo Esteva, evince his preoccupation with madhyamamarga. They also foreground his views on nationalism, metaphysics, media, politics and the crises of the third world and India in a globalised context. This work is a testimony to the form of scholarship he values.

Kannada Theatre History 1850-1950: A Sourcebook
₹250.00Editors: Akshara K V,
This source book on Kannada theatre history is a valuable contribution to the larger field of Indian Theatre Studies. Avoiding the shortcuts of an overview or a Wikipedia-like assemblage of information, it delves into the lives, histories, struggles, debates and anecdotes surrounding some of the most pioneering figures in the shaping of Kannada theatre between 1850-1950. The selection of primary sources, most of which are being made available in English for the first time, is nothing short of a revelation in the way it illuminates insights into the actual making and thinking of theatre practice. Here we have a model of how the construct of ‘Indian Theatre’ can be textured, inflected, individuated and problematized at regional, local and intracultural levels. Rustom Bharucha .This book is a labour of love by scholars who not only love Kannada theatre, but want to pass on their enjoyment of it. Delving deep into folklore oral history, local history, gossip debate and discourse, the editors bring out the world of Kannada theatres in pluralistic terms. Scholarship and playfulness combine to create a powerful act of storytelling where the book itself mimics the career of Kannada theatre. As an anthology it becomes an initiation rite, an introduction to all the great figures, not as hagiography but as nuanced analysis. Big questions and little questions combine to create both a sense of combativeness and a wonderful feeling of homecoming. Like tricksters, they break the binaries of tradition and modernity, treating it almost like a bad play which needs new scripts and new performers. A wonderful anthology. A deeply desi book, with all the cosmopolitanism of world theatre.
