Fit After 40
The ultimate guide to living your best life through your 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond. An old adage goes that age is all in one’s mind. However, the 40s bring on a series of changes – mentally, physically and emotionally – that we scarcely anticipate and usually deny to ourselves. Instead of viewing it as a turning point to a new, enhanced experience of life, many of us are left bewildered and in ‘crisis’. Applying her wealth of experience as an obstetrician and gynaecologist, and a fitness and lifestyle consultant, Dr Sheela Nambiar brings to you this holistic health guide that ensures that the decades ahead of your 40s are the best yet. This book contains: • Tests to assess your cu...
Gain to Lose
In Gain to Lose, Dr Sheela Nambiar, a practising obstetrician, gynaecologist and a fitness and lifestyle consultant, explains how losing 'weight' does not necessarily mean that one is losing fat and being 'slim' is not necessarily the same as being 'fit'. Instead, building muscle is the key, not only to losing fat and keeping it off, but for better functionality, a youthful body and greater strength. Quick-fix diets and fads are not the answer; it is important to maintain a disciplined lifestyle.
Let It Go: Voices from the Deep
Does being SLIM mean being FIT? Does losing WEIGHT mean losing FAT? Is exercise only about losing WEIGHT?

Get Size Wise
Whether you are a career woman, housewife, student or mother, this book will address your specific weight problems and wider health issues. Forget about your weight and concentrate on fitness-and you will manage to crack that weighing scale, and more. Most women agonize for years over the intractability of the number on the weighing scale. Despite stringent diets and indiscriminate physical training, they fail to find the Holy Grail of size zero. Advising against this myth of perfect size, this book by Sheela Nambiar, gynaecologist, obstetrician and fitness trainer, offers a fresh perspective on the problem of weight management: getting fit is about more than just losing weight. Paying attention to specific body types and metabolisms, Dr Nambiar, who runs the Training for Life fitness studio, encourages women to understand their bodies and focus on the 4 Pillars of Fitness-Stamina, Strength, Endurance and Flexibility. Comprising exercise routines, diet suggestions, information tables, lifestyle advice and case studies, Get Size Wise is an essential handbook for the Indian woman looking to take control of her body.
Hybridity
This critical engagement with some of the most prominent contemporary theorists of postcolonial studies reevaluates recent theories of hybridity and agency. Challenging the claim that hybridity provides a site of resistance to hegemonic and homogenizing forces in an increasingly globalized world, Anjali Prabhu pursues the ways in which hybridity plays out in the Creole, postcolonial societies of Mauritius and La Réunion, two small islands in the Indian Ocean, and offers an introduction to the literature and culture of this lesser-known region of Francophonie. She also reconsiders two major theorists from the Francophone context, Edouard Glissant and Frantz Fanon, through a provocatively Marxian framing that reveals these two writers shared more in common about agency and society than has previously been recognized.

Infrastructure and Form
In the 1990s and 2000s, contemporary art in India changed radically in form, as an art world once dominated by painting began to support installation, new media, and performance. In response to the liberalization of India’s economy, art was cultivated by a booming market as well as by new nonprofit institutions that combined strong local roots and transnational connections. The result was an unprecedented efflorescence of contemporary art and growth of a network of institutions radiating out from India. Among the first studies of contemporary South Asian art, Infrastructure and Form engages with sixteen of India’s leading contemporary artists and art collectives to examine what made this development possible. Karin Zitzewitz articulates the connections among formal trajectories of medium and material, curatorial frames and networks of circulation, and the changing conditions of everyday life after economic liberalization. By untangling the complex interactions of infrastructure and form, the book offers a discussion of the barriers and conduits that continue to shape global contemporary art and its relationship to capital more broadly.
