Of the actual facts concerning the origin of English literature, we know little indeed. Nearly all the literary history of the period as far as it concerns the lives of actual writers, is a series of skilful reconstructions based on the texts, fortified by some scanty contemporary references (Such as those of Bede) and topped with a mass of conjecture." The Anglo-Saxon literature is the work of clerks who lived from the seventh to the eleventh century. If they did not create all of it, they preserved it all, it is an essential Christian literature.
Literature, in the age of Swift was essentially the literature of the town, born in town, written for the town, and often portraying the life of the town to the minutest detail.
The emergence of the Ambedkarite movement has been one of the most significant developments in Rajasthan since 1930s. The present study examines the emergence, ideology and programme, mobilisational strategies and spread of the Ambedkarite movement, against the backdrop of two important changes witnessed in the state since the early 1930s: a wave of Dalit assertion and grass-roots activism. It is based upon extensive field work and interviews with the initiators of the movement and generation of post-independence educated, upwardly mobile, socially aware and politically conscious Dalits. While tracing the socio-political history of the Ambedkarite movement and conversion to Buddhism over 75 ...
This book presents the select proceedings of the International Symposium entitled “Materials of the Millennium: Emerging Trends and Future Prospects” (MMETFP 2021). It discusses the synthesis, tailoring, and characterization of different materials for functional applications in various sectors which include but not limited to energy, environment, biomedical/ health care, construction, transportation etc. Topics covered in this book are synthesis and characterization of polymers, ceramics, composites, biomaterials, carbon-based nanostructures as well as materials for green environment, structural materials, modeling and simulation of materials. The book also covers the topic of emerging trends in nanostructured materials, thin films, and devices. The book is useful for students, researchers, and professionals working in the various areas of materials science and engineering.
Nanosensors for Smart Agriculture covers new breakthroughs in smart agriculture, highlighting new technologies, such as the internet of things, big data and artificial intelligence. In addition, the book provides the many advantages of nanosensors over their micro counterparts, such as lower power consumption, higher sensitivity, lower concentration of analytes, and smaller interaction distances between the object and sensor. Sections provide information on fundamental design concepts and emerging applications of nanosensors in smart agriculture. The book highlights how, when cultivating soil, nanosensors and their wireless networks can be used for soil quality monitoring (moisture/herbicide...
Giving fundamental information on one of the most promising families of smart materials, electroactive polymers (EAP) this exciting new titles focuses on the several biomedical applications made possible by these types of materials and their related actuation technologies. Each chapter provides a description of the specific EAP material and device configuration used, material processing, device assembling and testing, along with a description of the biomedical application. Edited by well-respected academics in the field of electroactive polymers with contributions from renowned international experts, this is an excellent resource for industrial and academic research scientists, engineers, technicians and graduate students working with polymer actuators or in the fields of polymer science.
