Voltaire writes, “The post is the constellation of life.” Letters, especially love letters by other people, make the most interacting reading in the world. Nevertheless, brought up in a culture dominated by mobile phones, WhatsApp, SMS, internet and satellite communications, it seems the present generation does not realize the immense value of this time-honored practice. In literature, there are examples of books on letters like Letters from a Father to His Daughter by Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru to his daughter Priyadarshani Indira (Late Mrs. Indira Gandhi, former Prime Minister of India) and A Treasury of the World’s Great Letters by M. Lincoln Schuster. Lovingly Yours – Pen Pals, though ...
This book ‘Tumours of Larynx’ is a work I have done during my post graduation study. It has helped me to learn from the patients as I listened carefully and patiently. What they complain is a very important factor to be considered when making a diagnosis. This disease incapacitates the patient for the whole life. The larynx protects the airway and if one cannot breathe one cannot survive, and if one has difficulty breathing, then each moment becomes unbearable. This disease which may be inferred by patient’s history and diagnosed on simple clinical examination by laryngoscopy should be aware to medical students of every field. No expensive battery of tests is required to confirm the diagnosis. Anatomy and physiology of larynx has been added in lucid detail so that its understanding becomes easier, and the book has been profusely illustrated with color diagrams, working methods, reports, charts and tables.
To some extent, the title Fin Feather and Field is self-explanatory. Fin is more than fishing; it is an excuse to be outdoors, not just to kill but to observe nature from diverse angles. Feather is not just game-bird shooting but watching and identifying birds, rearing semi-tame peacocks and gray partridges till ready to fly, named Mustapha, Mr. Onion, and Paloma. Field involves travel, monuments and wild life sanctuaries, tracking Tahr in the Nilgiris and Bharal in snowbound North Sikkim. It is horse riding, playing golf, trekking, and mountain climbing. It is savoring a myriad cultures across India and some abroad; inviting misadventure are part of Field. Autobiographical glimpses and vignettes of army lifestyle find small nooks here and there. In short, Fin Feather and Field is a celebration of the life given and enjoyed to the hilt through over forty years, with minds open to wonder, learning, never abandoning the mindfulness of feeling the aura of strangers and places. Some of the best years lived in tribal India on the Chota Nagpur Plateau, braving dacoits and fearful gun-wielding Naxalites, are memorable parts of Field.
This volume presents a series of illustrative and critical perspectives upon the developing study of men and masculinities and its importance for sociological theory. The contributions, by women and men from Britain and the United States, are organized around the unifying themes of Power and Domination; Sexuality; Identity and Perception. Feminism has raised profound questions for the social sciences, for sociological theory and for the study of men. The contributors to this volume discuss how such questions can be addressed. They demonstrate the range of theoretical traditions that can be brought to bear on the study of men, and underline the importance of understanding ‘masculinities’ in the plural. In a concluding section, three different views upon the controversy surrounding ‘Men’s Studies’ are presented.
