Butterfly in a Bind
An idol of Ma Durga washes ashore. Nothing extraordinary for Kolkata, except for the body of a trans woman found inside. ACP Shyama learns to overcome her prejudices as she travels across the country in search of the victim’s truth. A unique tattoo on the victim’s leg is her only clue. During the investigation, ACP Shyama crosses paths with a brothel owner, an elderly zamindar's wife and a troubled teen. They were all close to the victim at some point of time in her life, until the untimely passing of her husband in a fire. ACP Shyama’s gut tells her that the events that transpired after that fateful day led to the victim’s murder. However, she’s running out of suspects as the trail starts to run cold. Will ACP Shyama be able to look past the obvious and catch the killer?

Risky Bodies & Techno-Intimacy
Risky Bodies and Techno-Intimacy traverses disparate and uncommon routes to explore how people grapple with the radical uncertainties of their lives. In this edgy, evocative journey through myriad interleaved engagements—including the political economies of cinema; the emergent shapes taken by insurance, debt, and mortgages; gender and sexuality; and domesticity and nationalism—Geeta Patel demonstrates how science and technology ground our everyday intimacies. The result is a deeply poetic and philosophical exploration of the intricacies of techno-intimacy, revealing a complicated and absorbing narrative that challenges assumptions underlying our daily living.
Literature, Gender, and the Trauma of Partition
Partition occurring simultaneously with British decolonization of the Indian subcontinent led to the formation of independent India and Pakistan. While the political and communal aspects of the Partition have received some attention, its enormous personal and psychological costs have been mostly glossed over, particularly when it comes to the splitting of Bengal. The memory of this historical ordeal has been preserved in literary archives, and these archives are still being excavated. This book examines neglected narratives of the Partition of India in 1947 to study the traces left by this foundational trauma on the national- and regional-cultural imaginaries in India, Pakistan, and Banglade...
Horizons in Bioprocess Engineering
This book is divided into four parts that outline the use of science and technology for applications pertaining to chemical and bioprocess engineering. The book endeavors to help academia, researchers, and practitioners to use the principles and tools of Chemical and Bioprocess Engineering in a pertinent way, while attempting to point out the novel thoughts associated with the brain storming concepts encountered. As an example, the ability to use case studies appropriately is more important, to most practitioners.
The Fall and Rise of Jerusalem
The period of the demise of the kingdom of Judah at the end of the 6th century B.C.E., the fall of Jerusalem to the Babylonians, the exile of the elite to Babylon, and the reshaping of the territory of the new province of Judah, culminating at the end of the century with the first return of exiles--all have been subjects of intense scrutiny during the last decade. Lipschits takes into account the biblical textual evidence, the results of archaeological research, and the reports of Babylonian and Egyptian sources and provides a comprehensive survey and analysis of the evidence for the history of this 100-year-long era. He provides a lucid historical survey that will, no doubt, become the baseline for all future studies of this era.
