"Governments in countries like India have launched ambitious efforts to conserve natural habitats and wildlife.

They know the creatures who lived there escaped the impending Big Freeze by inventing the space elevator - they even intervened to rid the planet of a plague of elves, who attempted to divert humanity onto a different time track. But now it's all gone wrong - Victorian England has stagnated and the pace of progress would embarrass a limping snail.
Unless something drastic is done, there won't be time for anyone to invent spaceflight and the human race will be turned into ice-pops.Why, though, did history come adrift? Was it Sir Arthur Nightingale's dismal book about natural selection? Or was it the devastating response by an obscure country vicar called Charles Darwin, whose bestselling 'Theology of Species' made it impossible to refute the divine design of living creatures? Either way, it's no easy task to change history,

“Globalisation has made a dramatic if belated foray into Calcutta, once considered the Second City of the Raj and India’s cultural capital. The most visible of its impacts has been a rapid change in the city’s skyline.
The outlines of the Victoria Memorial Hall, Howrah Bridge and the Ochterlony Monument (today’s Sahid Minar) that once ruled Calcutta’s horizon, have been fast overshadowed by the jagged contours of high-rise and mid-rise buildings and towers -- masses of aesthetically-dead concrete. By contrast, the city’s built heritage inherited from pre-independence times may be in the last stages of ruination but the buildings bear traces of the glamour that once won Calcutta the sobriquet of ‘City of Palaces’.
Although often conceived by European architects, without the skill and

Photography as cure. 2.
Photography as poison. 3.
Photography as prophecy. Index.
"Photography was discussed and practised in India within a few months of the announcement of Daguerre's process in 1839. Photographic societies were established in Bombay, Calcutta and Madras in the 1850s and Indian-owned portrait studios flourished.
By the end of the nineteenth century India was at the centre of a representational revolution. This book asks how we should understand the arrival of this new way of picturing the world.
Was photography in India simply a void, waiting to be filled by pre-existing cultural and historical practice? Or was it disruptive, throwing up new opportunities, prophesying new social formations, and focusing anxieties about the new visibility of formerly secluded spaces and events? The Coming of Photography in India transcends traditional cultural and technological narratives in order to present a subtle and compelling account of the limits, possibilities and consequences of photography

"This book deals with the dynamics of bovine economy of India with a special focus on Tamil Nadu. Factors like agro-climatic conditions, performance of agriculture, mechanization, irrigation, cropping pattern, ownership and distribution of land have significant influence on the size, composition and productivity of bovines across regions in India.
The observed trends in work and milk animal population and the trends in milk production, demand and consumption indicate that dairying has been gaining importance in the bovine economy of Tamil Nadu. The changes in size, composition and
