Capital of the largest of all Southern India kingdoms for more than 200 years, from the early fourteenth century onwards, Hampi was developed by its Hindu rulers into a (less)

Attention-getters, sentence progression, expectation-setting, and "memory offloaders" are essential devices to keep readers and reviewers engaged. The writer needs to have a clear understanding of the role played by each part of a paper, from its eye-catching title to its eye-opening conclusion.

This book walks through the main parts of a paper; that is, those parts which create the critical first impression. The unique approach in this book is its focus on the reader rather than the writer.

Senior scientists who supervise staff and postgraduates can use the book to review drafts and to help with the writing as well as the science. Young researchers can find solid guidelines that reduce the confusion all new writers face.

"This book offers a bold revaluation of Sikh identity from the late eighteenth century to the early twenty-first. Ballantyne examines Sikh Communities and experiences in Punjab, South Asia, the United Kingdom, and other parts of the world where Sikhs and Sikhism have spread.

Bringing South Asian and British imperial history to bear on his analysis, Ballantyne charts the shifting, complex, and frequently competing visions of Sikh identity that have emerged in response to the changes wrought by colonialism and Diaspora. In the process, he argues that Sikh Studies must expand its scope to take into account not only how Sikhism appears in religious and political texts, but also on the battlefields of Asia (less)

"Biotechnology concerns the practical application of organisms or their components. Historically biotechnology was an art, involved in the production of wines, beers and cheese.

Nowadays it involves a series of advanced technologies spanning biology, chemistry, and process engineering. In recent years innovations involving genetic engineering and Cryopreservation have had a major impact on biotechnology.

Its applications are diverse, including the production of new drugs, transgenic organisms and biological fuels, gene therapy and clearing up pollution. This book embodies ten chapters, the language of the text is simple and the subject matter is fully illustrated.

The book includes the most recent advances in molecular biology with special emphasis on topics like molecular technique, animal biotechnology, cryopreservation, crop production through (less)

"The present treatise is a continuation of cultural mapping of India in N.K.

Bose's line in the field of folktales for a limited area, viz., Northeast India.

The mapping has been done from three aspects: complete tales, motifs and non motif features. The study is a novel attempt in both the global and Indian contexts of anthropology and folklore/folkloristics.

Its novelty in anthropology, both in the global and Indian contexts, lies in its using folktale motifs for cultural mapping. Its novelty in the global context of folkloristics involves several points: first, it is the first time attempt to prepare maps for a tract of land with respect to motifs; second, it is furnished with a table that (less)
